Chantelle & Cyndi OUR LIFE, OUR DREAMS

Updates on our life.

So we hit 30 weeks last Sunday. Baby has kicked less, but is still moving. Cyndi's belly is more beautiful everyday. We are feeling rushed to get things accomplished prior to his arrival.
Jake graduates as a Marine on the 16th in San Diego, so hopefully we will all be able to go.

Cyndi has another OBGYN appt tomorrow. They are sooooo boring. I have to work, it will be the second one I have missed. It makes me feel bad but with a new job you have to do the best you can to make everyone happy.

We are thrilled to have our car seat now. That was really making me anxious not having it ready. We have to get two more bases. One for Cyndi's car, and one for my Mom's car.

Speaking of my mom, she is having a baby shower for us, so I am working on the dates, themes etc. We have a really hard time accepting gifts so we will see how it goes.
We are just ready to meet our baby. After holding our friends son Blaze, we are really ready for our to get here. We make bets all the time, like if she will go into labor, if he will be early or late, how much he weighs etc.. It is a lot of fun.

I have to tell my mom thank you for all you do. You are so wonderful to us.
And a HUGE thank you to my beautiful wife Cyndi. She is such a good pregnant mom. She is my every breath, my whole world.

Baby clothes, Mr. Man, and a new hair cut for Joe

Pee Wee has been sick AGAIN. He is on four medications now. One makes him really sleepy. Does he look tired. He does get home cooked chicken and rice for meals now which he loves.

Joe's new haircut.

I have told everyone I had an addiction to buying baby clothes. These drawers are full and are only 0-3 months.

The plastic bin has clothes 3-6 and 6-9 months. Also full and bursting at the seams.

Yep, more clothes. The bottom row is Newborn and 0-3 mos. The top row is everything else. He has so many clothes I don't think he will have time to wear them before he grows out of them. ******Hi my name is Chantelle, I am a baby clothing shopaholic. It has been 10 days since I last bought baby clothing****** Baby socks don't count.

Joe's haircut was actually a punishment, however I do like it so much more when it is short. If you see him on here skin bald, you will understand why. Kids can be so stubborn sometimes. I love him all the same, but 16/18 years old is a tough age to handle.

Nursery and a few new things we bought.

One more of little X's room.

That is his room at a glance. It seemed a fairly big room until we added all his new stuff. Now it is cramped.

Some of our homemade wall decorations and stuffed toys Thanks to Grandma Martin. Grandma Ann painted the ocean picture for us.

Our new Chicco car seat and travel system. It was not the color we wanted, so we bought the new color out this year. It reminds me of a Coach bag. Too bad I am not into purses.

This is the new swing we bought on sale. It does a 3 in 1 thing. They probably all do, but it is all new to me.

30 week belly shots. We are in the single digit week countdown. 9w5d left.

We made it thirty weeks. SO So so HAPPY. Baby X is moving but it seems to be less and less. He moves more and kicks less to be more precise. I am missing his kicks, they make me fall in love him all over again.

I like straight on shots. Her belly is so pretty. I would show that off all the time. She thinks she will get an outie on her belly button. I did not think so originally but maybe she will.

Just so pretty.

She was in mid giggle. Sorry. But I love her belly.

So please keep us in your thoughts, we are almost there. We can't wait to meet him.

28 week Belly Shot

This is 28 weeks. We only have 12 more weeks to go. I am hoping she will go around 38 weeks, but I have a feeling she is going to either not start labor on her own, or she will go over 40 weeks. I can't wait. She wants a traditional birth and has not decided on an epidural or not. I am in love more each day I see my beautiful wife changing and growing, I feel our baby kicking like crazy. We cant wait to meet this little boy in there.

She is so wonderful. And the best mom ever. Baby X is lucky to have her for a mama. He will always be number one to her. Well tie for number one anyway.

Funny pics of the kids.

Not sure what joe was thinking? Just being silly with one ugly shirt we got for baby X off E-bay. Last week we got about 90 pieces of clothing that were horrible. I have got so many great things, that we decided to just laugh it off. Pee wee wanted to pose and Big Bro Joe did too. The look and his face says it all. LOL

The shirt is for pee wee, but he does not like it either. However his shirt does kinda look like him.

Ebay, some you loose, some you wonder what the hell were they thinking, and some you get fantastic deals. It has been a fun adventure.

Cyndi turns 30.

Well Cyndi finally made it to the older than crap club of the 30's. I am just glad we are both in our 30's, I was getting tired of being the only one. I took Cyndi for a surprise for a day and one night. We got her hair did at Arizona Hair Company, then we checked into a hotel right near the football stadium used for the Super Bowl. We were in walking distance to shops, restaraunts etc. Our Air conditioner was broke at home, so we were more excited than you can even imagine. We spent the night and did nothing but talk and hold each other. We went swimming with baby X for the first time. He either liked it or hated it. When Cyndi's Belly touched the cold water baby X got very tight and rose up as far as he could. So that leads me to believe he wanted to stay warm. It was not too cold, but I am sure X could tell the difference.
