28 1/2 Weeks!

HE MIGHT BE HERE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (How much would he kill me if I dressed him in this to come home from the hospital)!!!!!!

Time is really flying! We went to our 28 week appointment yesterday and it went great! Davis weighs 2 lbs and 13 ozs! Jason and I were able to see him but it is getting harder to tell what is what now! He is getting so big that he is a little more smushed in there!

The doctor said that he looks healthy and I am actually measuring 5 days ahead of my due date. After discussion with the doctor it looks like if Davis doesn't come on his own before the 39th week we will induce if he looks healthy!

I told the doctor I was concerned about his amount of movement because of course, before the visit he was so quiet for a couple of days. Then we get home last night and he won't stop moving-and now even as I type this he is moving all around and doing summersaults! The torture of his mother has begun already! He was breach yesterday when we saw him--which also made me laugh because up until this visit he has always been head down. So now that we are getting closer he wants to make things difficult!

We will continue to pray for healthy grow for little one and his quickly approaching arrival!

26 Weeks!

Davis,

I did not know it would be possible to love someone so much that I have never actually met! Today we are 26 weeks along! Not far off from the third trimester. So far every single day has been better than the last--I cannot believe what a blessing you already are! You are still not as active as I would like but you you are moving. You enjoy moving at night when I lay flat on my back or in the morning when I first get to work and sit down for the first time in my chair. You enjoy tricking your dad into thinking you will kick--the minute he puts his hand on my belly you stop moving--I can already tell we are going to make a good team! You have already made my stomach stick out so far that I can no longer paint my own toe nails--and I love every single second but I am a little sick of people asking if I am sure it's not twins or if I am sure about the December due date!

We finally bought your crib and dresser but still need to decide on your rocking chair. Dad suprised me and had your room painted while I was in NYC with Moo Moo. There is still so much to do so please continue to bake a little longer! I can't wait for my Christmas present this year,

Love, Your Mom

P.S. Your cousin Stephanie took this picture. She is starting up her own business and is so talented!

20 Weeks

Here I am with Davis Parker Knecht in NYC! Mom and I had a blast shopping and hanging out. It was a little harder for me to walk this time but we did not let that slow us down. I will update later with some more recent pics--I cannot believe I am already 25 weeks!

IT'S A BOY!

After waiting 20 weeks to have a final decision on what Baby Knecht is--we got it yesterday! The 20 week appointment could not have gone better! And we are SO thrilled to announce that we are having a baby boy! And already he is the cutest boy I have ever seen! He was so active in the ultrasound yesterday that the tech could not get a good picture of his heart for over an hour. Unlike the last two ultrasounds where he would NOT move, and sucked his thumb the entire time, this time he was so active (just like his Daddy already). It's confirmed!

Jason was totally freaked out by the 3d/4d images-but I think they are so cool! Here is a face shot (I told you he was good looking) and an arm up by his face. He had no problem showing us that he is all boy--but refused to move his hands away from his face so we could see a full on profile--already he is sick of the paparazzi!

A profile shot!

The most important thing is that the doctor says that he looks great--healthy already. She said if she didn't know my due date was December 27th she would have told me it was December 28th. I also asked her to search in my right rib cage area--something is going on up there--and sure enough--we found two cute feet! So his feet are already kicking me--we have a soccer player, sigh, on our hands!

Bible Study Night Out!

Last weekend was so much fun! Friday night we went as a bible study to the Astros game. We even allowed our spouses, fiancees, boyfriends to join us! Not all of us could make it but as you can see we had a good turn out!
Saturday Tonya and I had a girls day! I feel so blessed that I have Tonya for a neighbor and a friend! We went to see "The Ugly Truth" at the Movie Studio Grill--it was great because we enjoyed lunch while we watched the movie. Let me add that if you ever go--get the chocholate chip cookies--they are fantastic! After the movie we went to the Galleria and then to get mani/pedis--we had to get ready for our date night! We met up with our husbands at Artista, had a great dinner and then saw Phantom of the Opera. It was excellent--probably the best show we have seen since living in Houston!
This weekend we head over to San Antonio--eat good mexican food and relax by the pool!
The countdown has begun for confirmation on baby Knecht. The tech on our last visit was 85% sure it was a boy--but we will know for sure on August 11th! So stay tuned!

VOTE....TODAY IS THE BIG DAY

Hopefully today will be the big reveal if Baby Knecht cooperates. So please vote:
Boy or Girl!

Master bedroom Remodel!

It is finally finished! Well, pretty finished! We might add a roll top desk or a bench but for now the master bedroom redesign is done! The highlight, in my opinion, are the curtains which my favorite mother-in-law made! Can you believe it?! She is very talented but don't get any ideas about hiring her because I have a list for her!

New Bedding

New wall color

Chair recovered!

New seating area--with silk cover that my mother-in-law also made!
