Week 28 Doctor Appointment...

So today, I ventured into my doctor's appointment thinking, only 6 more of these before the baby is born....wow! Crazy!! Don't get me wrong, they are always exciting and such a bonding time for daddy Sibert and I, but I am ready to not have to go to the OB for awhile.
The doctor did some measurements and took some very blurry pictures, b/c "Buddy" is too big to get a good look at this point. He weighs 3.5 lbs. already and the doctor stated his femur is "really long" we are about 2 weeks ahead of growth schedule. Makes me shudder thinking he has 12 more weeks to continue to thrive and grow inside of me (and apparantly the growing part has really just begun), then, I have to push him out...of a really smalll hole! Can we say OUCH!! I am excited to meet him, hold him, gaze into his innocent eyes. I am being vulnerable here, the thought of giving birth though makes me a little nervous, especially if he takes after his papa and is born a small giant!

Portland Baby Shower


We had a GREAT time in Portland. The open house shower turned out great as a lot of family and friends were able to join us. Thanks to all for coming by to hang out with us, especially those of you that brought your kids so you can slowly break us in for what we have in store in July. Many thanks to Aunt Sue and Mom for hosting the party and pulling together everything. We were very blessed with everyones attendance and the gifts that they gave us for the little guy.


We just moved into the 3rd trimester, so now the fun begins.

We didn't take many pictures, thanks to Mom we have a few to share, so here are a few pictures from the day.
