THE BISHOP EXPRESS

Aydan is 4 weeks old! He still sleeps most of the time and is such a GOOD baby. He is weighing in at 9 lbs, 13 oz and is 22 inches long---he is in the 45th percentile for his weight and in the 50th percentile for his length. Our pediatrician, who I love, says that he is perfectly proportioned. He is perfect to me regardless! He makes the funniest noises--I think he sounds like a neighing horse and David thinks he sounds like a billy goat. He is so entertaining! This semester is finally over for me but another will begin in January. Is there really a light at the end of the tunnel? I am hoping for a few online courses this semester so that I am not away from home more than a night or two a week. We are still trying to get into our little groove. David is doing well. He is working out of town a lot, which is a bummer, but I think it makes us appreciate each other more. We would love to hear from you and hope you all have a Merry, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year's. Lots of Love!

Well, here comes our little man! My Doctor decided to induce tonight. We go into the hospital at 12:00 am so we will hopefully be welcoming him into the world sometime tomorrow! This picture is of my ready-to-pop belly today. I can't believe it is already here----it went by so fast! I will be sure to post pictures as soon as possible. Janeille is flying into to town on Wednesday and will be here with us until the following Monday---thank goodness! What a life (and sanity!) saver :) We love you all!!

Here we are---a few days shy of 31 weeks! Only 9 weeks to go :) This past week I invested in the belly belt and Velcro shoes....my size MEDIUMs are feeling a bit SMALL---but the LARGEs are to big. What is a girl to do? My favorite 'outfit' is a pair of David's over sized PJ pants and a wife beater tank top. I LOVE it and I plan on doing it again and again and again!! Pregnancy is GREAT and life is SUPER! We are ready to hold our little man but I love being pregnant! Janeille helped me put it into words this past weekend---pregnancy is bitter sweet. Speaking of---we ended up in labor and delivery last Sunday. At around 12:30 pm I started having pre-contraction, contractions. I didn't know what was going on so finally around 7:00 pm David and I made a trip to the hospital. They hooked me up to an IV for a few hours but that didn't stop them. Around 10:00 pm they gave me a muscle relaxer which stopped them within 5 minutes. They aren't sure why they came on but everything is fine and I am feeling awesome! They called it "irritable uterus". We should have our nursery together in the next two weeks so expect a blog update then! How exciting!! David is doing well as he is busting at the seams.....he is WAY excited! He is so wonderful, sweet, and supportive. I couldn't have made a more almost-perfect-husband. I am so lucky to have him (and so is Aydan!). We love you all and would love to hear from you!!

Hello, all!

I have some very smart friends and family members with blog spots to keep everyone up-to-date on their growing families. I stole their idea :)

Well, we are now 25 weeks along and growing more excited day by day. This picture is at 14 weeks--we have more recent one's just not scanned in yet! Our due date has been moved forward twice now but our doctor wants to stick with November 18th for now. We'll see! I think he's gonna be BIG! I can feel him moving almost all the time now. It is really amazing! He is going to be on the move, all the time, just like his Daddy! The name Aydan actually means "little fiery one". Quite funny to me!

David and I are celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary this coming Sunday, August 5th. Seems like 10 years ago! We aren't doing much to celebrate this year. We were hoping for vacation but big baby purchases are higher on the list! Gives me an excuse to spend a little money :)
