3 Years ago

I know it is crazy to believe, but 3 years ago today Paige and I ran outside the doors of Mesa First Assembly in Arizona as a newly married couple. It is funny how as kids we understand how smart our parents are… then as high school and college students we think we know everything… then once married we come to a shocking realization that we know nothing. Now that Zander is on the way I am starting to accept that I have even less of a clue what I am doing or what all this baby stuff does or even is. However, in the midst of realizing that I know nothing there are three things I am sure of…

1. Getting Married to Paige is the best decision I could have ever made and I am so thankful to have my best friend as my wife and my hero – I love you Paige.
2. Having Zander has been an amazing experience and he isn’t even here yet – I can’t wait till he is actually here and we get to see what he looks like.
3. Paige and I have been surrounded with best family a couple could ask for and we love you all.

Here is Zander’s nursery…it’s pretty stinkin’ adorable…in our opinion anyways.

32 weeks!

how big is zander?

30 weeks pregnant!

By the end of this week, your baby is now 15.7 inches long and weighs 2.91 pounds.

Toenails are entering their final growth stage.

Bone marrow is now in charge of red blood cell production. These red blood cells will continue to service your child’s body by transporting oxygen and removing the wastes (carbon monoxide and other gases).

Your baby has the capability now to produce tears — yes, within the womb.

sorry about the uncensored photo…

nursery prep

Here we are getting Zander’s room all ready…Tyler is so handy…he put together the crib and it actually works!

crazy karate baby

last night tyler and I went to see the movie “Ironman” at the cheap-o theatre and somewhere in the middle the baby started moving around like crazy. tyler put his hand over on my tummy and then Zander seriously karate chopped his hand. he kicked so hard I thought he was going to bust out. we started laughing so hard right in the middle of the movie…it was pretty amazing…he is getting so strong.

(i know this is such a creepy picture…)

baby shower planned

here’s the invites for our baby shower…they are super cute.

27 weeks pregnant

Inside the womb, the formation of tiny capillaries is giving baby a healthy pink glow. Baby’s also soaking up your antibodies, getting the immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and baby will soon perfect the blink — perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.

26 weeks pregnant

By this time, your baby’s brain wave patterns are similar to those of a full-term baby at birth. Activity is beginning in the portions of the brain that process visual and auditory information.
