Well, we’re in the home stretch!
Kolby and I took a road trip last Thursday afternoon to Waco to visit my dad at
his Baylor office and to visit my mom at the pregnancy center where she
volunteers. [We also had lunch at
Schmaltz’s. Dear Blue Plate Special, you
complete me.] While at the pregnancy
center, we had the privilege of having a free sonogram because it was the end
of the day and there weren’t any clients and these sweet women had been keeping
up with our infertility journey through my mom and were excited for us. It was such a joy to see our little guy!! We likely won’t have any more sonograms and
thus wouldn’t have seen him again until his birthday!
My mom was there and my dad came too, so we all got to enjoy seeing
baby Beckett—even in 3D at times!
We learned three things. 1. He is
definitely a boy! I had some doubts from our 20 weeks sonogram,
but those were put to rest in a big way after our previously shy guy flashed us
in 3D. In case I ever doubt again, I
have a very conclusive picture I can refer to :). 2. He has the most beautiful lips! Actually his whole little face is absolutely
beautiful, but those sweet puckered lips really stand out. 3. He has chubby cheeks already! At only 28 weeks along, babies are super
skinny. They spend the last trimester
pretty much doing nothing but gaining weight.
But somehow our little guy already has some pudge on his face, which
comes as no surprise to anyone who knew me as a baby. Girl had some jowls. All in all, the sonogram basically confirmed that Beckett
will no doubt be the cutest baby ever born in the history of the world. But I guess we already knew that!
In other baby news, we started our birth class last week. We started on the nursery this weekend. I’m so excited to see how it will turn
out! It just seems so crazy that it’s
already time for stuff like this! It
seems like it’s taken FOREVER to get here, but I’m hoping that these last few
months will go by fast with all of the business and holidays (and Kolby would
add baseball playoffs).
Outside of baby stuff, we're staying really busy between all of our commitments--birth classes, a photography class I'm taking, lots of Rangers games, leading/hosting a Bible study group, etc. Plus Kolby started a new school year. All good things... but I certainly look forward to the weekends where we can catch our breath!
I need to post some pictures of our minor living room/kitchen remodel, but there are a few loose ends of that project that still need to be tied up. Hopefully those will be wrapped up soon. Then before too much longer I'll hopefully have some pictures of our nursery to share!

You look really pretty in that picture Emily! Chubby babies are the BEST! I'm already excited about Beckett's chubby cheeks.
