A few belly pics

38 weeks

36 weeks

21 weeks (I totally thought I was showing)

Just hoping I don't go too late..................I have a feeling it may be the 20th!!!!

Almost there.

30 days to go.

Everything is coming together. The nursery is almost finished. The baby clothes have been washed, folded and put away. We just need to wait for our little boy to arrive.

We had a Dr. apt on Tuesday. Everything is looking good. He is head down, which is a relief!!! I have always measured about a centimeter and a half small (basically I'm measuring 34 1/2 weeks instead of 36) my Dr. isn't to concerned since I have continued to grow each visit, but she is awesome and is going to give us an ultrasound at our next apt. She said since we haven't had one since we were 20 weeks along that we might as well. So I am counting down the days until Tuesday!!!! Now we'll get to see him and have an idea of how big he is, I JUST CAN'T WAIT!

We are both staying busy with work. Sitting at a desk all day can be quite exhausting, who would have thought, but at least I'm able to sit and I'm not walking around all day at the mall! I am planning on working up until the day I have him, the hospital is about 3 min from our house and about 5 from my work, being so close is very reassuring.

The few things left to do are; pack my bag for the hospital, pick out a stroller, and clean and organize the house. My goal is to stay busy, which won't be to hard with Thanksgiving, and decorating for Christmas is fast approaching. At least I am hoping it will help keep me busy.

I just wanted to thank everyone for all the fun showers I've had or that I will have. I really appreciate all you've done. Thankyou Chelsea, Brittnee, Pam, Emily, Alicia, Sharon, Susan, Katie, Kara, Carlie, Tori, Mom, and Kristi!!!! They have helped so much!



This isn't a very good picture, but its all we have. I have got to figure out the right settings for the camera.

Bryce the Runner

Although Bryce says that he can't be considered a runner until he has ran a marathon, I will still call him one. He has ran in quite a few races this summer; the first being a 10k and he has worked his way to a half marathon and 2 day relay races, with some others inbetween. He always does really well, and with each race he keeps getting better. His goal is to run a marathon, which he'll probably do next spring. The last race he'll do this year will be the Human Race on Thanksgiving morning. We did it last year with some friends and it was a lot of fun. I will be about 37 weeks along for Thanksgiving this year so I will be sitting it out. I'll just be there to cheer him on at the finish line!

baby update

A few weeks ago we had our big ultrasound apt, and then on Monday we had a regular checkup. They both went great, our little guy is right on track to where he needs to be. We got a ton more pictures and a dvd. It makes me a little sad to think that we aren't going to have any more ultrasounds. The next time we see him will be in December........unless I cave and we take a trip to fetal fotos.

I am still feeling really good, I feel like I am starting to get a little bit of a waddle. My tummy has grown quite a bit over the last 3 weeks, maybe I will post a side view here shortly. We still can't decide on a name, we do like the same ones, but actually choosing is so hard. We have added a few more to the list so we are making some progress. At the begining of the month I felt and saw him kick for the first time! Its my favorite thing, he is on a little schedule, each night around 9 I lay on my back and he starts kicking and punching away.

We have the crib, changing table, bassinett, and recliner for the nursery. So this Saturday we are going to start the construction. Updates will follow!

Sad Week

It has been a sad week for the Maughan family. Last Friday Bryce's uncle Ron, and his cousins Jed and Jordan were killed in a plane crash. They were taking a fishing trip to Washington and never made it there. The plane went down a few miles past the Idaho border in Oregon. Ron left a wife and 4 daughters and numerous grandchildren, Jed was newly engaged and Jordan who is only 26 left behind a beautiful wife Shelley and 3 little kids ages 4, 2 and 3 months. A donation account has been set up for Shelley and a trust fund has been set up for the kids.

Please donate. For information and updates from the family go to http://www.wherearethemingos.blogspot.com/
