Inspired by my sis

So after reading Serena's blog this morning I realized that I too have been hiding in the dark from posting.

So for a few updates:

Shelby has been doing great with our baby.  She's finally gotten over the nausea that so many accompany with the 1st trimester, but with her it lasted straight through the 2nd too.  As of today she's in her 29th week. About a week ago during our last doctors visit we learned that our baby boy is a little small for his age and was placed in the 11th percentile.  (Sadly we also learned that he previous week he was only in the 3rd percentile, but weren't ever told!) We've since adjusted her diet to whatever she can put down so that baby will grow! Here's her latest glamour shots.

As for the move to Houston, I believe we're moving right along.  This past weekend, Pam (Shelby's mom) came through from Houston on her way back to Amarillo and loaded up a bedroom set and hauled it off.  One whole room has been dedicated to boxes, which is slowly filling up to the ceiling.  All the other rooms are starting to look really bare since no pictures, artwork, or colored paint is on any wall.  The official move date is set for Friday, July 23 where we'll load up the Uhaul in the morning, clean up and turn in our keys.  We'll then drive down to Tomball and stay with Meemaw since we don't want to overdue it and have a heat stroke in the middle of July.  Eaaarly Saturday morning we'll head down to the Promenade at Hermann Park (our new home) and start unloading.  What kind of stinks is that since everyone parks in a garage our Uhaul won't be able to drive right up to our apartment.  We'll have to park it near the opening of the garage and just haul everything in by hand (about a 30 meter walk across the garage).  

Parker and Casey I think are getting really excited about the move and the baby.  Parker just can't get enough of the toys, furniture, and accessories that the baby is accumulating.  You know at any point while packing up you can turn around and Parker will be right at your heels, sniffing away.  Casey is much more wiser and chooses simply not to be around while we pack (she prefers napping).
