Birthdays 10-28-08 04:28pm CST

Well, Chantel gets to keep her birthday all to herself. Daniel is pretty happy in there and the doctor is letting him stay a little longer. We'll be going in Wednesday night for a treatment and plan to deliver Thursday. Wow! Can you believe I'm going to be a MOM?

We're all moved into our new house. There are still a few things that need to be done, but it's shaping up well. It has been so much fun making a home of our own.

My dad's birthday is today. He's been hoping for Daniel to come for his present, but it doesn't look like that will happen. I started thinking it would last night when I was up so many hours with contractions, but just as we were going to call the doctor and head to the hospital, everything slowed down and we just went back to bed. It would have been nice to go through all of that and have a baby to show for it...but our time will come soon enough!

This fall weather is so nice! Everyone seems to be enjoying it and appreciating the change.

Well, if you're lucky, somebody will hopefully be up for posting the progress of this delivery on Thursday. They have experience in all of this, so it should be good fun. Thanks for the prayers! I can't wait to share pictures!

What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about? 10-14-08 07:27pm CST

I never know where to start with these things. I guess since I last posted, which I know was FOREVER ago, we moved back to Texas, started back to work, bought cars, bought a house, and successfully had internet installed today. Throw in there a bit of tax busy season and it's been a whirlwind!

We're working on being ready for this baby. He is due to arrive no later than next Thursday and I'm hoping he holds out since we're still getting things together. Just got to go with the flow, right? I'm avoiding looking at the full moon tonight in hopes that it won't have an effect on us...especially since Drew is in Chicago until Friday night! We're crazy...but that's us!

Pictures of preggo Michelle should be coming soon. I've just got to stop and take the few minutes to do it.

It's great to be home. I missed my friends and family so much. Everyone has been so kind and generous to us the past couple of months. We are truly blessed and I hope we can be good stewards of everything we've been given.

My nephews rock!

Time to go get some rest. I hope this caught everyone up enough for now!

kris

Yay for a post! Glad that things are settling back in so great for you! I know your family is SOO glad to have you home! Prayers for the rest of your pregnancy!

 
mapgray

Glad that you are back safely. Can't wait to meet the little guy!

 
lp

wow sounds like a busy time! glad things are going good for you and that you're back state side

jenfc00

WOW you have been busy! Make sure you take the time to take care of yourself. you don't want to push yourself to much or you little guy might just come before you are ready. :) Can't wait to see pictues. And I am so happy you are back in TX maybe one of these days we will get to see each other. ;)

Glad you're back and enjoying it. I can't believe it's almost time for your baby to come, it doesn't seem that long ago when you "announced it" on pleo:)

Overdue. 07-26-08 06:34am CST

I know some of you may be thinking...I thought the baby wasn't due for a few more months! Well, you're right. I'm referring to my lack of posing lately. We have been mondo-busy and I guess I am guilty of being a blog lurker over the past few months. My apologies. Apparently, I have a public which has been neglected as of late.

So, we found out pretty early on we're having a little BOY! Many of you are pretty clever and figured that out by the blue ticker. Good job. He's already got some built-in friends, which is very exciting. Don't have a name picked out yet, but we've still got time, right? Mom and baby are healthy...and we've got a pretty proud daddy, too.

My main excuse for being so quiet is because we've been traveling and hosting visitors consistently over the last few months. In chronological order, here's what we've been doing...

  1. Dublin, Ireland
  2. Amsterdam, The Netherlands
  3. Prague, Czech Republic
  4. Paris/Normandy, France
  5. Athens, Greece
  6. Henderson parental units visit
  7. Wimbledon
  8. Tsai Meu Chong visit
  9. Leavitt parental unit visit
  10. Stonehenge/Lake District, England
  11. Norton visit

We've had so many once-in-a-lifetime experiences! It's been fun, exciting, and tiring. If anything, I've been distracted from any pregnancy discomforts. This baby is definitely well-traveled!

Just one more week of work here and then we're off for a 2-week whirlwind tour of Europe. We can not wait! Start in Barcelona, on to Nice/Marseilles/Monaco, then Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, and end in Germany. That's just a rough estimate...we're pretty much going to wing it. Adventure, here we come!

Then we fly back to the UK and on out to the States. YAY HOME! We miss everyone and everything a lot...we're ready for this next stage of our lives. Prayers for our travels and wisdom in raising this child would be greatly appreciated.

I'll let you get back to whatever you're doing. Maybe if I actually updated more my posts wouldn't have to be so long! Silly me.

bjcrumpton

32 weeks! Not too much farther. :)

 
potatoprincess

Oh I know! I have been thinking a lot about our days at F.C. too and all the fun we used to have together! You girls were the BEST roomies! I miss you and Chantel, and Jess so much! I am so glad to be a part of pleo cause already we have "talked" more in the last week than we have in three years!!!!! It is funny you mentioned the 4 of us getting together because yesterday while I was sitting at my desk at work, supposed to be working on credit card declines, I found myself in a daydream thinking about the day we all re-unite! We should plan something!

 
thecharlie

Hey according to your above schedule you should be back in the states right now, but I thought you might be able to give me some information about a church in London for this weekend 9/22/08. If you get a minute to give me some info you can call me at (770)310-4188. I'm sure you're busy with this baby coming any minute, but any information you could provide would be appreciated. I hope things are going well in Dallas.
