I feel like I havent updated in a while. Things have just been so crazy busy since we are in the last month of school. Last week was super busy and chaotic. Right now I am in Port Neches with Taylors parents but no Taylor. He drove back home yesterday to go to class. I was lucky that my Wednesday class was cancelled and I am able to miss my Tuesday class. I decided to not go back because the drive is harsh on my back, and we would have driven here three times in a row! This past weekend was out PN baby shower. Of coarse it was gorgeous and Taylor drove home with another car filled with gracious gifts. Besides what we got, Taylor and I are so overwhelmingly blessed to have an amazing support system. Both sides of our family and friends have been loving and supportive and we couldnt have asked for better. We now have everything we could possibly need for Landon's arrival, plus some. Landon even recieved his first iPod from the Moore family (Chris is the godfather)!!! Jenny put a bunch of really sweet lullabys, childrens songs and nice instrumental music for Landons first year. We got our top of the line baby monitor, our stroller and car seat set, a pack and play, tons of clothes, diapers, sippy cups, toys, and everything else you can think of! Everyone was so nice and welcoming. I finally feel like I am becoming part of this family, which is scary but really nice at the same time. Taylors parents have been really open and welcoming toward me. It was really nice of them to let me stay here while Taylor had to go back to school. I really miss him!!!! This is the longest we have been away from each other for sometime, but only a few more days and we get to see each other again! I am glad I am getting along with his family too. That is definitely something I was scared of when this whole thing first happened but everything has turned out even better than I expected. Its funny how God works. I know I have mentioned this before but I just cant believe that God has answered my prayers in this way. Its extremely ironic because when I first saw the two lines on my pregnancy test I thought my life was over. And in a way it was. Old things end so new and even better things can begin. I really couldnt ask for anything better right now. :)
Now onto Landon... It is crazy to think that he will be here in less than 12 weeks!!!! He is growing so fast and moving so much! He currently weighs about 2.5 pounds and can see light from inside the womb. He is also able to distinguish my voice from others. This means Taylor needs to talk to him a lot so he can get used to his voice too! I cant believe he will grow another 4-6 pounds in the next few months! I already feel really big I can only imagine what I will look like on delivery day. I keep having dreams about him. Mostly about me being unprepared. Last night I saw his face in my dream and he smiled at me. He had dark hair and a super cute smile. I cant wait to see him! I hope he looks like Taylor! Now that we have all of our stuff I am ready to start putting the baby room together. We need to paint, which I want to do the first weekend of December. It really just depends on how much time we have because we will be busy getting ready for finals. December will be another busy month but at least I dont have to worry about school for much longer. I am still contemplating on when I should quit my job. I know Taylor and I have talked about doing a lot of family travel during the holidays because once Landon is here we wont be able to travel much. I am not sure I will even be able to travel much in December. It all depends on how I am feeling.
I had a doctors appt last Tuesday and I had to get a glucose test done to check if I have gestational diabetes. They said they would call if the results came out positive and so far I havent gotten a phone call. Dr. Serrano went really fast with the ultrasound and I didnt get to see Landon much but the next time I go I will see the specialized sono technician so hopefully we can get updated pictures of Landon!! I am off on my weekly photos of my baby bump but I will take one soon and post it asap!
Hope everyon has a Happy Thanksgiving! I am looking forward to eating and not looking bloated this year! :)
Love,
Alyssa, Taylor and Landon
