Graham with friends and fam...

Once again these pics are completely out of order, but oh well!!









My sweet sister flew across the globe from the Middle East to spend the week with us. (And she is 14 weeks prego herself if you didn't know already!!) She slept on the couch and was the 2 extra hands I needed! Precious time for all of us!



Sarah and Harper came to play.
Graham's great-great- aunt Rosie.




Honey and G
Anna Lou having fun in the tub.



Julie and David brought treats for Graham and Anna! So thoughtful!



Janet and Kate came to visit.

Emerson Ramsey and Graham...buddies already!
Amanda and her sweet family came by.

Graham is coming!

I went to the doctor today for my last check-up before my scheduled induction on Monday, Oct 19th. Well...when I went in today things had really progressed with me and my doctor thought we should move forward. We did a another sonogram to check a few things. She was slightly concerned with Graham's size and the amount of fluid around him. Next thing I knew she was asking me what I was doing tomorrow and had scheduled me to be induced at 8a.m. She thought I would probably go into labor on my own in the next few days. Also, my doctor would not be able to deliver on Thursday or this weekend, so my chances of having her were slim. Like all women, I really hoped that my doctor would be available for my baby's delivery. I am so glad she was so thoughtful knowing I would really want her to be there.
We are obviously so excited for tomorrow, October 14th, our little Graham's birthday! Much of our family is graciously changing their plans and making a trip to be here with us. The only disappointing thing about changing our date of induction is that my sister won't be able to be here. Wendi had plans to fly in the weekend for our original plan of Monday. She is still coming in this weekend and will spend most of next week with us. It will absolutely not be the same without her tomorrow, but I am beyond excited to see her this weekend and introduce Graham to his Aunt! Only Wendi would fly literally across the globe to be here for me and to meet her new nephew!
The next few days will be hectic, but as soon as I have a chance, I will post an update of pics and info about Graham. Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers as we bring little Graham into this world. Thank you Lord for this indescribable gift!

New rooms...

We moved Anna Lou into a new room so that Graham could go into the nursery. She kept her same bedding and most of the same decor, but has a different crib and furniture. The room is very pale pink, but looks white in most of these pics. I never thought I would choose to have a pink room, but it fits her perfectly. These pics are not very good at all, but you get the idea.



This pic is horrible with the lighting and the shade halfway pulled down on her window. But a huge thanks to Honey for new curtains and much decorating help, and Papa for building a new cornice board over the window. Graham's simple room is just blue and white with a little football decor here and there.
Boys are so easy!
Need a few more things for the shelves. Those are stand up pics of Dave's dad and grandfather playing football that we found at his grandmother's house.

Pics of Dave, his Dad, his Grandfather and my dad during their football days.
Now we just need a little peanut to come live in this room!
