Band & Baptism!!

The title could be an alliteration! I thought I'd post a picture of my niece Ori during her first home game marching performance! We've got it on video as well just haven't figured out how to upload the camcorder yet. On a different note we had Dj's Baptism this past Saturday! It was wonderful...very short and sweet! We couldn't ask for a more supportive family...Thank you all for coming! Dj looked like so handsome and like such a big boy in his baptismal outfit. Tino & Carol chose a very cute outfit.

We filled our tummies with yummy food. Tino had the brisket smoked and we had potato salad, rice, beans, salad and of course...CAKE and CHOCOLATE(spanish)! It was nice sharing a wonderful meal with everyone.

This week is a usual week for us except for AHS HOMECOMING this Friday...which hopefully as long as the weather is nice will be DJ's first home game!

Busy Busy Busy...

I can honestly say that between work...home...and family! We've been BUSY! Dj is 10 weeks today and a very "healthy" boy! He is currently sleeping with us because he'll sleep straight through the night with us so mommy & daddy can both sleep! If we put him in his crib we might get 5 hrs max! He attended his first live Fantasy Football Draft party on Labor Day weekend! That was us being out of the house for more than 2 hrs...it was kinda nice...yet I was a bit nervous at the same time. We went in seperate cars just in case! Aside from that we've been busy being parents...and enjoying every new experience Dj gives us. This week is the last week of the Fair & Rodeo and Im really looking forward to going and getting to eat some YUMMY food! We only go once and its to grab some dinner and head home...this year same routine just not sure when as we'll be dropping DJ off so that he's not exposed to all those people or the heat.
Tomorrow we're going to the AHS vs. Plant football game..yes on a Thursday..but if it gets to be too much we'll just head home and watch it on TV. ESPN is hosting the event so they are televising it. Dj again will be with someone..not sure who yet!
Well his Baptism is fast approaching and the paper goods have been ordered and are here already just now to get all the food finalized...cake ordered...invitations sent out..and get everything else together! He & I have been going to church and I can say he's been GREAT...stays calm during the 1 hr service an after while people are looking at him.

One quick post...

well...Dj and I survived my first week back at work. Daddy survived too since he didn't have us around to bother him all day! Tomorrow is my first day of school and hopefully everything goes well and the year starts off great! I've been trying to soak up as much DJ time as I can this weekend...all we did was hang out at home and go to Tim's bday party Saturday night! Its nice to hang out with family. Well about to start getting all our stuff ready for the week and feed DJ!

Our 1st Month & Football!

We can offically say that our first month has FLOWN by! Here is a picture of Dj at 1 week before we left for our first doctors appointment. After this appointment we learned that he will be going to his appointments in easier clothes to get on and off fast! We had a good first appointment and went back at 2 weeks for a weight check and he'd gained so that he was back to birth weight.
We originally had some problems with nursing but we're slowly making better progress! I think we can offically say we do have a bit of a chunker. David and my sister have been very supportive of my nursing struggles they keep me very positive when its getting hard. Friday we went to school to move my classroom furiniture which was a slap of reality as I'll be going back in a week. My plan is to spend as much time as possible with him this week and cherious every minute!
Yesterday was his 1 month birthday! Can't believe its gone that fast! Today is the first pre-season game for the Cowboys and thanks to Uncle Trey Dj and Dad have GEAR!! Something tells me this is what I'll be seeing every Thursday or Sunday depending on when the Cowboys play! I'll end this with a pic of him in his outfit!

Dj's Hospital Pictures!!

Here is a link to DJ's Hospital Pictures!!

Lego, JVC & Netflix and DJ!

Well...I haven't blogged in a while...since I can't be online while Davids working I've just been getting things ready or packed around the house. My mom has been coming by once a week to help me clean up which has been wonderful! Aside from that I've been keeping up with all our laundry so that when we come home from the hospital there isn't much to do! Speaking of...Dj's bag is packed...our bag is packed...camera bag is ready to go...and today we got our newest addition to camera's a CAMCORDER!! We got the black one so that we could capture all our first moments with DJ!

Aside from this we also purchased a deep freezer last week so that we could stock up on groceries and not need to go to the store so often. So far it has been wonderful! Its working great outside and we certainly couldn't of gotten it without David's dad's help! Thank You for helping us bring it home! As most know David finished GTA so for Father's Day he wanted a 2nd controller to his PS3. So we bought this combo kit that had Kill Zone 2 and the controller! We also got Lego Batman....mainly for me because Im not the best at video games and in Lego you don't die.

On the Dj home front...my stitch is OUT! So now its just whenever DJ wants to bless us with his presence! I can honestly say we're ready...just wondering and anxious of when and how it'll all happen! I finished up his nursery this week...put all but a couple finishing details. Today is 37 weeks and we're offically FULL TERM!! Its such a blessing to know we made it this far! Well I am going to get off and help David do some picking up to the house...and we're going to watch Up on Netflix....we just finished watching Fluffy: Gabriel Iglesias....let me say HILARIOUS!!

It's Been Awhile!

Wow its practically been 1 month since I've updated the blog...in the past month we had a Diaper shower for David, Diaper shower at work, worked on the nursery and David & Trey built a custom cube/bench unit for DJ's room.

We had a Diaper Shower for David here at the house! It was lots of fun...pizza, snacks, diapers, video games and a simple guys night! David's dad, uncle and friends came over...an it was awesome that Finke and Shaft were even able to make it in from Lubbock.

After David's shower work had a diaper shower for me too! It was loads of fun! Here is a video slideshow of my work and family baby shower pics!

We've done lots of work on the nursery...I'll have those pics up later. I haven't gotten them all uploaded to the computer. We have an appointment with Dr. Bass tomorrow and we'll most likely have our true time frame set tomorrow. We're thinking we have about 1 week till the stitches come out an also Dr. Maberry said that Dj is weighing in at 5.5 lbs!! and by birth should be around 7 lbs!!
