Jacquelyn - One Week Old

This week has been full of excitement and numerous milestones for our little one.  Today Jacquelyn turned One Week Old.  Mark and I are taking pictures like Japanese tourists and already have a rather large collection.  We know how anxious everyone is to see pictures so we thought today would be a great day to share a few with you.

Happy One Week Birthday
She had an exciting afternoon of eating from a bottle and wore herself out.

Baby Watch 2010: Day 30

Good News Today………… I get wheelchair privileges!!!!!

After 30 days in lock up I have been granted 10 minutes of wheelchair privileges a day because my cervix has been on good behavior. For my first spin I plan to take a trip outside, breathe some fresh air and feel the sun on my skin. I am so excited! I will say it is the little things that keep me going and get me through each day.

With only one more day until week 32 begins I am really getting excited about meeting Baby Eaton. I spend most of my day, when I am not napping; wondering if baby will be a boy or a girl and day dreaming about the bright future that is ahead of him/her.

Luckily Mark and I were a little ahead of the game at home and had already painted the babies’ room, bought furniture, and decided what our little bundle of joy was going to be wearing home from the hospital for all of those wonderful photo opportunities. You might think picking out an outfit would be a hard decision since we don’t know the sex of the baby but this was probably the easiest decision we ever made together and it was unanimous.


Thank you Lise for sending us the perfect outfit for Baby Eaton. Mark and I have decided that outfit will create the perfect for his/her graduation invitation from Texas A&M University in 2033.

To make sure Baby Eaton realizes there is no other school and stays focused on the prize, we have also started a college fund that will sit on the dresser as a constant reminder of where he/she belongs.


Yes we realize that we are super fans and a little over the top with our school sprit at times, but hey who cares. Some people have NASCAR we have all things Texas A&M.

Baby Watch 2010: Day 23


Everything here is still status quo, so I thought I would take the time to post some belly pictures.  Kelly, Rebecca and Megan will be very happy since they have been asking to see some for months.  I found these adorable mommy stickers from Picky Sticky that show how far along I am. 

I am excited to say my belly is still getting bigger and I am looking forward to taking pictures at week 32, 36, and 40.
