More of Gavin

Gavin Ross

9lbs 9oz 21 1/4 inches long hair and adorable. He looks just like daddy.

Week 37 going on 38

The newest information. I had a doctors appointment Wednesday everything is great. I am measuring the size of a women carrying twins according to the doctor. She said it isn't too often that we see a women carrying one measuring this size. GREAT. We thought quarterback I think line backer now. One way or another Gavin will be here by 9:30 am on February 27. That day is my c-section if he doesn't come in to the world before then. Things seem to be that much more real now. I do not feel so much like I am going to go to the hospital and just pick him up. He won't be in my stomach any more. It is almost scary, he has become a part of me now.

The final on Gavin's Room

His comforter finally arrived today. So, here it is. The last item that needed to be added. Some special touches I would like to point out. Shannon made Gavin's name out of sand dollars. My sister Becky made the pictures of the wall hangings as well as recovered the gliding chair. Thank you Mom and Dad for kicking us in to gear and for all the support in getting it together. Thank you to husband, Dad and Bryan for working on getting the final things hammered out, literally. Thank you very much to all my family and friends for the wonderful support and gifts. I know that Gavin will be showered with all the love a little boy needs to grow up and become a wonderful man.

Gavin's Blanket from a customer

I helped a customer with a couple questions they had on their mortgage. It really was not so much a problem as they wanted to set up somethings on their account. It has been a month or so and today she brought in the most beautiful blanket that she knitted for him..

Gavin's room is complete.. Go Mommy & Daddy!

Ok so I still haven't packed the bag yet. Grandma, Grandpa, Kenney and I put our hands to work and finished the room. Go me! I put together the crib and dresser.. Yes, big ole' pregnant me put the crib and dresser together. Kenney and Grandpa finished the trim and closet doors. Grandma cleaned and helped put the room together. Thought I would post some proud pictures.

Week to Week

Things are going by very fast. Am I am ready? I think at this point I could make due. This weekend we are setting up the furniture and getting organized. Funny I say organized because I think I have said I was working on that since I found out I was pregnant. NICE! But we are so close. I have not packed the all famous "bag" yet but I will in the next couple days (I keep saying that too). I am getting a little weaker here and there.. It is hard to make it a whole day. Mainly walking carry almost 30 pounds out in front of me is killing my back.. Not to mention walking around usually brings on the braxton hicks contractions which are getting a little more uncomfortable (I use painful lightly as to not jinx myself). Bekah having Ethan has really opened my eyes that this life changing exprience is not to far off for Kenney and me. Cath ya laters. Once Gavin is born I am going to create a blog with things that work and don't work including tips that I have found helpful and products that do wonders.
