Totalled...

So sad... Last Thursday Mike was getting on the freeway and someone hit him from behind! It totalled our old grey 'grandma' car but he was okay and walked away without a scratch! We were so thankful that he survived let alone walked away unscathed. The other guy had five kids in his minivan one of them ended up with a broken collar bone from the seat belt, but the report is that she is doing fine now.
He was parked at a dead stop at one of those meter lights on the freeway, the guy behind him didn't stop and hit him going about 50 mph! The car crumpled in all of the right places, the inside of the car was in perfect shape. The papa instinct kicked in and one of Mike's firsts thoughts was..."if a car seat were in the back, he would have been fine!" Now we're just trying to figure out what to do, buy another car (we're still paying on Mike's) or use an "oldy but goody" for awhile. We are just thankful that he was ok! Other than that we are doing just great. My belly just keeps getting bigger and baby is getting closer and closer. We can feel him rolling around in there, especially at night. I can't believe that it is only six weeks away until we are officially his mama and dad. We will keep you updated and let you know when he arrives!!

Counting Down...

I can't believe that we are only 9 weeks away!! Mike says we're down to the wire, we're in the single digits now on our weekly countdown. For our anniversary my parents gave us a gift certificate to fetal foto and we got to see pics of our little man. He was folded in half with a foot up by his head and as far as we can tell he has big cheeks like me.

I love this picture because you can see his toes (all five of them) and his big toe is sticking out like he was sucking on it! I hate feet so I think it is a little gross but somehow it's cute when he does it.

I think that this pic is great too because he looks upset, I think that it is his wake-up face. You can really see his nose and cheeks on this one though. I wonder if he is going to look like Mike or me...only time will tell. Do you know that he already has his own fingerprints? And he opens his eyes and looks around now, his irises are blue but I'm hoping that they will change color and be like his dad's big brown eyes.

Mike is getting ready for him. He was up until 5:30 in the morning setting up the room, painting and putting together the dresser/changing table. It is all going to come together over the next few weeks and I just can't believe that it's here. Every time we walk past the room, we just smile. It's wild to believe that we are going to have a little guy to put in there. We are rearranging the whole house for him. The living room is getting reorganized so that we can fit in the swing and a place to house the car seat, our bedroom is next...need to make space for the bassinet that Mike's dad is making for him. Things are coming together well, I think they call this nesting...

We just can't wait for him to get here!
