Baby Shower

So we made it to the baby shower. As some as you know...we may be having the baby earlier than expected. The last appt the doctor found out that the baby is not growing properly and there may be something wrong with the umbilical cord. Brent and I am going to go to see a Perinatologist on Monday (tomorrow) to get a second opinion before we allow them to induce me tomorrow afternoon or sometime shortly there after. Thank you for all of your prayers. Keep them coming. It may be a long road ahead of us with the appt and the birth. We pray that the baby is healthy whenever he comes into this world. Anyways...we did make it to the babyshower. It was a great time. We had a good turnout with great friends and we got a lot of really great things. I am going to keep this short. Tomorrow is going to be a really long day and I still have to pack a bag just in case. I have included some pics of the baby shower, the boyz rooms and future razorback shirt that I had from when I was pregnant with Dylan. Please once again...keep the prayers coming. We will let you all know as soon as we know something. Hope all is well with you all. Love, Crystal and the Boyz

School has Started..YA HOO

Hey everyone. So not a lot has been going on...but here is where we are. The baby and I have made it farther than Dylan and I did. We are now 36weeks and 4 days today! I have been feeling quite a bit more tired...but otherwise pretty good. I am still working full time...although everyone at work treats me with white gloves and baby's me wayyyyyy too much. The baby has dropped quite a bit...but I still hope and think we have a while to go. Next weekend is my baby shower thrown by a girl at work that I am friends with. She has threatened me that I have to wait until that is over to have this baby. I hope he doesn't try to get me into trouble. HA HA.
So this week has been pretty good. Brent is still on First Shirt duty..even though they said he would be done on Wed. They are now saying that this coming Friday is the last day. I sure hope so. He took Thurs and Friday off to site his gun and go hunting for deer. He didn't get anything...but he is also staying close to town...just in case. I think he just needed a break from work and such. Dylan started 3rd grade on Thurs. WOW! Where did the time go? He really seems to like his teacher...she told him to wait a few weeks until he decided. HA HA. I am not very happy that they have 28 students in the class. They have cut the budget so bad here. I guess education is not very important in California. But Dylan's teacher seems to have things under control and we just have to hope and pray that he will get what he needs out of this year!
My favorite thing that we did this week was to go and get family pics done with the baby bump. I wished we would have done it a bit sooner. My face and ankles/feet have really swollen in the past week or two...but I am just glad that we got it done. It was such a beautiful experience and I have to admit...I cried a bit when I saw the pics...but then again...the photographer and one of the other girls there also teared up a bit too! I posted the pics that we had to chose from...Grandparents...we have some in frames coming to you all with the extras in a book. Don't try to download off of here please. We also have a CD and we can get reprints or more prints ordered very easy if we need/want. Siblings...we have some coming for you also...whether you want them or not. HA HA. Anyways...hope you all enjoy them. I am so excited to take the baby back to these people when he comes to have more. They did such a fantastic job! The photographer has already started planning the next pics. Anyways...I best get going. Hope you enjoy the pics and I pray that you all are just as happy and blessed as we feel right now! Love to all

Getting Closer

I know it has been a bit of time since I have blogged AGAIN! Sorry. Things are just going so well. I have been working and so has Brent. Dylan is enjoying his summer at the Youth Center. He has gone on two movie field trips, two hiking field trips for his "ology" club that his is in. That is a club about pretty much the outdoors...so you know he LOVES it. They went to Mt Diablo and to a Rock Center where they had fossils and rocks and such. Then he has gone to a museum and he is going to another one next week. They have really kept him busy. He starts back to school I believe on Aug 20th. We have been staying busy getting the room set up for guests and the baby. We have gotten the baby's crib set and stroller/carseat combo. The girls at work are throwing me a baby shower on the 29th of Aug. They keep telling me that I better not have the baby before that...ha ha. The weather has been just wonderful. It has rarely hit 100 degrees this summer, which makes it nice for me to be able to get out and have some fun. We spent all of the 4th of July running around. We went to the parade in the morning, then over to the fair, then home for a nap, then to the Demolition Derby. Dylan LOVED that. I have always liked to go and Brent and I wanted to share that with him. He was screaming....he couldn't believe that they were actually hitting each other on purpose! It was so cool to watch him watch that! Then we made it to Suisun City to the Harbor just in time for fireworks. It was a really nice family day! Since then we have gone to see Frank and Lynette, we went to Santa Cruz to ride the steam train at Roaring Camp thru the Redwood Forest and then off to the boardwalk for dinner and games. We have been shopping quite a bit when Brent has to stay close...or I sleep a lot on the weekends to catch up from the busy weeks! This past Friday we went to Redwood City to sit with Frank's family while Tina, his mom, had open heart surgery. She did wonderfully and is on the road to recovery. Thank you to all of you who prayed for her...I know it helped! Well I guess that is it...pretty much. The baby is getting bigger...as am I. We are really excited to see him and hold him. The doctors say that everything is going very well. I will have an appt this Wed. to check on the baby and myself...but I suspect it will be just as quick as the last visit was. This little man is in no hurry to come into this world...I think he thinks he will just take up permanent residence...ha ha. Oh well...all in good time. Best get going. Hope all is well with everyone. Hugs to you and yours!
