Countdown to #3

Well it is t-minus 5 days till baby Waller #3 arrives or sooner. If I haven't had the baby by Monday my doctor is going to see me for his first appointment on Monday and then probably send me on down to the hospital to deliver. Right now I am 3 1/2 + dilated and 80% effaced. I feel like a ticking time bomb walking around. We are really excited and can't wait to find out if we are having a little girl or little boy. Stay tuned.....

Stafford's Doctor Report 2010

This is the only picture I took at his appointment because I get sidetracked talking to the doctor. I really wanted to get a picture with him and Dr. Baker because we love her so much.

Anyway, on to the great report we received at his yearly urologist appoinment at Childrens at Dallas. Dr. Baker said it looks like Stafford's one kidney is growing with him and his hydronophrosis as gone down some more in kidney, which is great news. His kidney functioning levels continue to be at normal levels and he has not had any kidney infections since being off his antibotic which he had been on since he was born. All are wonderful news and words we thought we would never hear from the prognosis he was given before he was born. I absolutely believe he is a miracle and thank God for him everyday. We pray now this little guy keeps it up and his kidney keeps on growing and staying healthy.

Stafford's Room

I realized that I hadn't put up the pictures from Stafford's room after I finished it and of course when I was taking pictures last night of Reese's room, Stafford had to have his picture taken too. I am so happy with how it turned out and Stafford loves it too.

I bought the iron bed off craigslist for a deal and painted it and then it was on for a search for all the letters for the alphabet on his wall. Also, lots of trips to flea markets for great old toys. I really just love it and also my mom did the bedding for Stafford's room too.

Reese's Big Girl Room

We made the transtion from crib to big girl bed for Reese a couple weeks ago and she is doing great! We decided to do it before baby #3 arrives in a couple of weeks. We decided to put the babies bed in the room with her for now. We are hoping to sell our house so I was trying to do something simple, but at the sametime make it look like a finished room. Besides the baby will probably be in our room for the first 3 months anyway.

I just love the way it turned out. My mom did all the bedding and curtains and the antique twin bed was my Great Aunts. If you know me I love something old and expecially with a story. I love it as much as my Big Girl Reese does.

Swim Ranch

The kids completed their 2nd year of swim ranch this summer and did great. Ms. Kim was their teacher this year and she was great with all the kids. Stafford and Reese have improved so much from last year and are really swimming in the pool with their swim buoys around their waist. Ms. Kim has almost completely taken all the air out of Stafford's swim buoy.

So we have really been trying to practice all we can to get the kids really comfortable with the water. I can't wait till next year because Stafford gets to move up to Beginners lane. What a fun week and Daddy was even able to come and help all week with both of them, which the kids loved.

Almost forgot to mention that we were able to enjoy this week with our friend Cy, Caroline, and Cole. That always makes it fun to be able to swim with friends.

Reese's First Dance Class

We have started Reese in her first Dance class this summer. It is a 6 week program and I thought it would be a great opportunity to see if she would be interested in it or not. Well it looks like she loves it. So far, every week she is so excited to go and she listens so well and tries to do whatever the teacher ask of her. So now we will have to decide in the fall if we will do gymnastics or dance. She loved gymnastics so much too. By the way, how cute is she???

Mommy's Birthday

Well I turned the big 31 and had a little family celebration. I have soon realized that

Mommy and Daddy's birthday's aren't that big of a deal anymore, but I do make sure you have a birthday cake. This is a must and I did have my favorite!! However, I do enjoy having the little family celebrations, it is pretty sweet.
