A last look...
So today we had a follow up 3D ultrasound, our last one before expected arrival date. Darrian was about the same, not wanting his picture taken. You can for sure tell that some of this weight is going towards him! He is getting big, which is good. Heartbeat was strong too.
I have a couple pictures to post here, the rest really were not that great but I will take another look. It is odd to see some things in the ultrasounds from Keith and I, to me he looks a lot like Keith in the pictures. Of course we could be wrong but for sure I think he has daddy's nose.. Keith is very excited to have a mini me so we will see how it all turns out. Looks like he has some chubby cheeks too!

Spelling with Flickr
While I am trolling the sites of baby stuff I ran across this cool thing on one of the cool sites I go to called Nested ( http://nested.typepad.com/blog/ ), which is a blog by another person about baby stuff, I saw a posting about a cool site called Spelling with Flickr where you can put in a name and they pull pictures of letters to spell up the word. I put in our babies name and here is what they came up with below, if you don't like the letter than you can scroll through more on Flickr and pick new ones.

Go here to play!! :)
Where has the summer gone?? ....
I have been meaning to update more, at least try and update once a week but I am sort of failing at it. I can't believe it has been 3 weeks since I last wrote here, at any rate here is an idea of what is going on..
Keith's mom: It has been a long month plus for her, and for her family. There have been many times where we thought she for sure was not going to make it. I will say she has hung in there and she is alert at this time. They took her out of sedation and she began to be aware of where she was on Saturday night, Sunday. I am sure it is hard for her to wake up and be in the state that she is in. We can't hear her because of the trek but she does seem to try and talk. She is not able to write right now because the drugs are wearing off in her body. We really don't know what the future will hold. She still has the cancer and they will not treat it anymore because the time that she has had in the hospital her immune system could not handle chemo right now so she would not be able to be treated for it. We are hoping it will all work out, that is all we can do at this point.
Baby news: I am 31 weeks, can't believe how fast time has gone. Keith and I are super excited to meet our little guy. The baby's room is pretty much done except we got the closets redone and the way we did them now we have to get new closets doors (always something) so we are working on that. The crib is on it's way but not suppose to be here till next Monday. I can't wait to get the bedding on and get that set up. We have gotten (via gifts from my mom) the stroller, car seat, and the bassinet pack and play. We got the bedding that I am in love with. Everything matches brown and baby blue. He even got his first pair of shoes :). He is moving a lot which I love feeling, and responds to daddy a lot and to music. The shower is planned for 9/16 and I am excited hoping you all can make it!
Over the past month we have done two more weddings, one was in Monterey that Niki helped me with so K could be close to his mom. Then I had another one on the 18th in San Jose. We also celebrated a lot of birthdays! 8/6 was my mom's and we took her to Bing Crosby's in Walnut Creek, 8/8 was Keith's birthday and my mom and I got him the new iphone !!! he was super surprised because he was not expecting it at all and since then I have not seen him because he is always downloading thing onto it. We also took him to dinner at Lark Creek in Walnut Creek. Then on 8/11 was Devyn's birthday and I took her to the Giants game, it was a lot of fun even if the giants lost by a bunch! Natalie came into town for another week on 8/12, I hate seeing her go. We went to the niner game on 8/13 with Nicole, her brother has really nice tickets! 8/14 was dinner at her mom's house and K and I went to that. Then we went to the city for shopping and back to walnut creek for dinner on 8/15. I stayed in at night but Nat went out to SF, 8/16 her friends band Xanimo were in town for a show in Berkeley that we all went to. I had the Friday 8/17 off because my mom and I went to Gemma and Ryan's wedding in Auburn, then came home early 8/18 for a wedding I had to do in San Jose that Keith helped me with! Are you tired yet? I am.. Sunday Chris and Julie and the two cutest girls came over and we went to build a bear and to Pyramid for K's bday lunch. It was fun, and we made a bear for the baby. It is dressed like Keith and although K won't show it I think he thinks it is pretty cute!! I am going to post pictures of all of the above later I promise!
This week we don't have too much going on, I have to go to an appt. in SF this week and I have a rehearsal and birthday party on Thursday and a wedding on Sunday. The wedding Sunday is pretty easy, it is in Moraga and a day wedding from 10 am to 2pm! I am excited for an easy one..
That is all that is going on with us right now, I will update more with pictures soon!
