34 Weeks as of Sunday
"Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies."

33 Weeks
"This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds and has passed the 17-inch mark. He's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is hardening. The bones in his skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for him to fit through the birth canal. (The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that many babies are born with a conehead-like appearance.) These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as his brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood."

All my bags are packed...
...and I'm ready to go. Not really though! It is finally official. We are moving, and have been packing the last few days. Michael is heading out tomorrow with a Uhaul, and I am flying out on Saturday so that I can spend a little more time with my family. Friday night we ate some BBQ with friends and said some goodbyes. I have not lost it yet, but I know it will come. Those tears are just waiting to be shed. I am excited about our new big adventure, but sad to leave what we have here- such great friends and community and of course our amazing families. We will miss you and expect all of you to visit- seriously! It is a great vacation spot! :-)

A Weekend of Parties!
Kids parties, that is! My husband was a trooper hanging out with lots of kidos this weekend! Friday night we went to dinner with a friend of his from Texarakana and his wife and kids. His poor wife did not get to eat a bite of dinner as their 4 month old was a bit tired and could not be comforted! "Michael are you ready for this?" :-) Saturday we went to Jenna's Elmo party. I used to take care of Jenna. Elmo was a bit, hmmmmmm.... lets say creepy! My niece Kylie loved him, but it took the other kids some time to warm up to him. The adults were laughing at him, maybe a little too loud! Fun times! Happy Birthday Jenna! We love you sweet girl! On Sunday, we went to Maya's birthday party, our niece. It was some great family time! I can't believe she is one! Love you doodle bug! Here are some pics...

32 Weeks
This week...
"By now, your baby is just shy of 4 pounds and is nearly 17 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, he'll gain a third to half of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he fattens up for survival outside the womb. He now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). His skin is becoming soft and smooth as he plumps up in preparation for birth."

Little look at Trevin...
This morning we went and did a 3D/4D sonogram at Window in the Womb. It was so sweet to see him... of course he did decide to take a little nap right when we got there. We did not get really great pictures because he was looking down, but they are still sweet none the less. He sucked on his hands a lot and even gave us a little smile! Robyn and Bryan went with us- they were VIP all access. They even had very official badges of honor! All 10 fingers were there... could not see his feet because he liked to stick them way up in my ribs :-) Here are a few pics of our very special morning.
His boxing fists...
Sucking on the back of his hand...
His sweet face :-)
Melt my heart already... a smile!

Sweet Surprise!
Michael and I went to this presentation this morning about a time share in hopes to win one of their "guaranteed" prizes. Turns out we did not win much and wasted 2 hours of our time, but we did not have high hopes to begin with so it was okay.
Then I went to pick up my check at the office where I worked these past few months- Mom's Best Friend. They had a little surprise party for me- it was sooooo sweet! I have really enjoyed working there, and they will be missed and my paycheck will be missed by my husband :-) Thanks girls for everything! Y'all are awesome! If you are in need of a nanny or a babysitter or want to be a nanny or professinal babysitter- check them out- they have my professional stamp of approval :-) www.momsbestfriend.com.
The MBF girls and me...
The very cute cake!

31 Weeks
"This week, your baby measures about 16 inches long. He weighs a little over 3 pounds and is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy."
We saw a new Dr. yesterday in Scottsdale. She was great! We both really liked her. So now I have two scheduled appointments, one here and one there and I will cancel the one I do not need depending on if Michael's project is approved on the 24th. She said that I am measuring exactly at 31 weeks where I should be.
We found a great house and it is all set to go, well, assuming they officially accept our offer. We will know for sure by tomorrow. The plan is to move Saturday, September 1. So, a little less than three weeks left here in Texas. It always is a wakeup call to realize the plans you have for yourself don't match what the Lord has planned for us. I know this is a good thing! If my life thus far had been what I wanted it to be at a certain time- whoa! I would be in a totally different place, and not a good place at that. Praise God for his guidance, and we both feel the Lord wants us in Scottsdale. So, we shall see...

I've been tagged!
I have been tagged by the sweet Mrs. Corso, thanks Kim :-)!
The Rules:
1. Post the rules
2. List 8 random facts or habits about yourself.
3. If you are tagged, then you must Post the rules and list 8 random facts or habits about yourself.
4. After you post, tag 8 people and let them know they must read your blog for the rules.
Hmmmmm... let me think!
1. I have broken both my legs, not at the same time. The right one, I fractured in the first grade when I jumped off a swing. The left one, a much worse break, occured while attempting to land a front tuck in gymnastics when I was in the third grade. I had a cast most of my third grade year- it stunk literally and figuratively. A picture...
2. I grew up on a lake in Missouri. I learned to ski at the age of 6 and began skiing in the local annual ski show. At the age of about 12, I did some traveling shows and competitions, but stopped when we moved to Texas when I was 14. I mainly did what they call doubles acts- it is like cheerleading stunts on water with a male base. It was not that I was all that talented, it was just that I was small and I could be tossed around easily. I also climbed pyramids. Fun times, and some scary crash moments. A picture... and yes that pout face has been perfected!
3. When I was 5, my friend and I decided to cut eachothers hair. I had really long hair and ended up having to get a really short bowl cut at an attempt to fix it. A picture...
4. I was a reporter for my high school newspaper. It was great! We had off campus passes and could roam the halls without question.
5. I took tap, ballet, and jazz until I was in the 8th grade. I have always regreted quitting because I love to dance. I am not sure why I quit, but I guess I got tired of it at the time. A pic...
6. It has always been my dream to marry the man of my dreams and be a mom, and I am blessed to say that I have married that man and I am about to be a mommy.
7. I have always loved children and I knew I would work with them in some capacity. I was a Child Development major, and I have done a variety of jobs during and since college and they all involve little ones. I love their impressionable spirits and their innocence. To me, a child's laughter is the greatest sound on earth- a testiment of God's love for his children.
8. Waco is the farthest I have ever lived from home. Scottsdale will be an interesting and very new adventure for me and my new family :-)

Weekend of weddings
Friday night we went to one of my high school friend's wedding. It was so fun to see some people that I had not seen in a while- especially my old youth minister who officiated the ceremony. Good times... Brad I can't believe you are married! The bride was beautiful- Brad you are a blessed man. Congrats to Brad and Amy Stroup! Here are some pics...
Saturday night we went to David and DeVonna's wedding. It was also a lot of fun to hang out with friends and celebrate such a special time of their lives. DeVonna was a gorgeous bride! We love you guys and wish you so much joy :-) Congrats to the new Keirsey's! Here are some pics...

30 Weeks! 10 more to go... 7 or 8 would be good :-)
This week...
"Your baby's a bit more than 15 1/2 inches long now, and he weighs almost 3 pounds. A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds him, but that volume will decrease as he gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. His eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after he's born, he'll keep his eyes closed for a good part of the day. When he does open them, he'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means he can only make out objects a few inches from his face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)"
A few suggestions: :-)
Please don't say to me that I look like I am having twins, that you were my size at full term, or that you think my Dr. got the due date wrong. It does not help- I know my tummy is big, and it is going to get bigger. No, I am not having twins, I am just short. You may have been my size at full term, but you are more than likely taller than I am, and my due date is correct- it has to be. Thank you :-) Love you!

Few more vacation pics
We are home, well I am. Michael left this morning for Scottsdale. He will be back tomorrow. We had a great vacation, and now have lots to do here at the house. We are planning to move September 1, but will not know for sure until August 23rd. So, we are going to look at some housing options there, and get all our ducks in a row and be ready to go if that is the case. We decided that if the project passes, it is best for us to go ahead and get out there before the baby is born. I really want to get things set up and settled before our lives are turned upside down. Your continued prayers in all this are appreciated!
29 Weeks
This week...
"Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. To meet his increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because his bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening skeleton each day."
Trying to get lots of calcium :-) We want strong bones.

Vacation flies by...
Out time here is almost to an end. We can't believe we have been here for a week now. The time has flown by. I have gotten some great sleep the last couple of nights, and I am so thankful for that blessing. Today is Annual Meeting- they have a annual meeting about the club and then there are lots of festivities that take place. The boys are really excited to compete in some relays and games. Here are a few pics from the week...

Jamie Rogers took my maternity pictures last week. We had a great time playing around and taking some really sweet pictures. My favorites are not ones that I can share on the internet, but here are a few that are safe for viewing by all. Thank you so much Jamie- you are the best!!! Check her out and book her for your children and maternity pictures- she is on my link list!

28 Weeks
This week...
"By this week, your baby weighs a little over 2 pounds and measures almost 15 inches from the top of his head to his heels. He can blink his eyes, which now sport lashes. With his eyesight developing, he may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. He's also developing billions of neurons in his brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world."
His movements continue to get bigger and stronger, but they still feel a bit boney. He needs some time to get some meat on his bones. My back has been hurting pretty bad, and I am not getting much sleep at night because of it... preperation for less sleep, or so I am told :-) But all in all still feelin' pretty good, just uncomfortable.

Sweet Time
We are on vacation! It is 6:45 a.m. and Michael and I just watched the sunrise together sippin on some coffee. For once, I was actually awake before Michael this morning. We got here friday- here is Sequanota in Charlevoix, Michigan. I know you must be thinking, Michigan for vacation-why? Well, I would have been thinking that too and I grew up coming to Michigan, but this place is AMAZING. Sequanota is a little private club on Lake Charlevoix that Michael's family has been coming to for over 75 years. They have a house here that has an amazing view. You can just sit out on the porch and stare out at God's magnificent creation. Michael's family comes every summer for about 2 weeks, and I am so thankful that our kids will have a place like this to visit when growing up. Everyone knows everyone because they have all been coming for many many years. The parents and the kids grew up together here in the summers.
Yesterday we relaxed on the beach. I read some magazines and tried to tan little Trev. I used lots of sunscreen though :-) Last night we went to a picnic on the beach on Lake Michigan. It is what you do here at Sequanota on a Sunday evening. They build a big fire and everyone brings hot dogs and smores! It is great! The weather is perfect. Mid 80's-90's during the day and very cool at night.
Here are some pics so far.

VACATION and prayer needed
We head out tomorrow morning to Michigan for 10 days. We are so excited for a vacation- our little babymoon. Michael's family has a lakehouse on Lake Charlevoix that feeds into Lake Michigan, and it is absolutely awesome! We will join his family there, minus sister Laura who has to stay here for school- we will miss her!
Upon our return, we have some big decisions regarding our move to Scottsdale to make and start acting on. Please pray for us as we make the decision to move before or after baby. I am being stretched for patience and peace with this decision, and I know the Lord has it all taken care of already, but I have a hard time not knowing. :-) It just does not seem ideal either way, but who am I kidding. Is life ideal, to our standards anyway? I am just getting very anxious at the thought of our little guy entering this world and everything being okay. I know that I need not worry, but I can't seem to really hold onto that! I am a worrier and a planner, and I am doing better with that but it is a constant struggle. I need to really grasp a hold of His word that I have read oh so many times...
"So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

Baby Shower
We had a wonderful time celebrating with friends and family! Thank you so much to our sweet friends who worked so hard to make it so special! My camera died so I did not get many pictures, but this is what I have. We got so many sweet little things, and it makes me so excited for his arrival. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
27 Weeks! Yay for Timester 3!
This week...
"This week your baby weighs almost 2 pounds and is about 14.4 inches long with his legs extended. He can now open and close his eyes, and he sleeps and wakes at regular intervals. He may suck his fingers, and although his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with assistance — if he were to be born prematurely. Chalk up any rhythmic movement you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and isn't bothersome to him, so enjoy the tickle. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. Wonder what he's thinking?"
We went to the Dr. yesterday and everything is looking good! He continues to be quite active, and I can really tell that he is growing, as my belly is also :-) He has dropped down in the last week and is sittin low. My back is hurting from the weight and my hands and feet are swollen, but all in all I still feel pretty good. Three months to go... :-)

A proud mama...
I just have to brag on my dog Bagby for a sec. If you know him, you know he has quite a personality. He is very funny- he reminds us of the donkey on Shreck- annoying but cute! He has this problem of running off outside- my fault in his early training or lack there of :-) Well, we were working in the yard this last weekend and Bagby sat in the yard for hours without running off. He listens to Michael a lot better than me- surprise surprise. I was so proud of him for being such a good boy. This was a really big deal for him! He is such a good dog, and I hope and pray that he is good with the baby. He likes kids-hopefully he will adjust okay. Here are some pics of his front yard freedom!
Another year
I had a pretty nice birthday all in all! Although, I ruined most of my husband's plans for the day... He was trying to stick little happy birthday notes around the house before he left for work, but I woke up and came out. Sorry babe! I baked some cinnamon rolls (this was at 5:30 am), read a little, and went back to sleep for an hour. I went and worked out and then I had to go to the ENT Dr. to get something checked out in my nose- I have a problem in my sinus. If you could be praying for that I would really appreciate it. Basically, I have a polyp in my sinus (yuck) and have to have a CT scan after the baby comes to see how big it is and to make sure it is benign. It is quite possible that I will have to have surgery to have it removed. Little unnerving! Happy Birthday me :-)
My sister in law Micki baked me a cake and brought it over- very sweet! My niece, Kylie, sang Happy birthday to me for the 5th time that day - she loves birthdays, well really birthday cake! She left me a message that morning that was soooooo precious. Gosh I love that girl!
Then I went shopping the rest of the afternoon with some gift cards I got. Michael tried to plan a surprise birthday dinner, but I kind of figured it out. Several things were a bit odd to me, and I assumed that there would be people there.
Aside, from the news at the Dr., it was a very nice day. Thanks to my sweet husband, and all my friends and family for your kind words and wishes! I love you more than you know!
Michael wrote on our mirror! :-)

And his name shall be....
TREVIN MATTHEW KERSEY!
"The boy's name Trevin \t-re-vin\ is pronounced TREV-in. It is of Old English origin, and its meaning is "fair town"."
Matthew is for Michael's big brother that passed away when Michael was in college. He is most definately missed and never forgotten!
Trevin is a name that is growing in popularity, but I had never heard it before. We both like it- it is different but does not sound way out there!
This was a hard thing for us to decide on... not that we had very many disagreements. It is just that his name is such a big thing to decide- it is a permanent part of his life here on earth. PRESSURE! But what an awesome privilege! We can't promise that we won't change our minds, but I think we have the winner. Little TK will be a stud!

26 Weeks!
This week...
"Your baby now weighs a little under 2 pounds and measures about 14 inches, from head to heel. The nerve pathways in his ears are developing, which means his response to sounds is growing more consistent. His lungs are developing now, too, as he continues to take small breaths of amniotic fluid — good practice for when he's born and takes that first breath of air. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days."
The growth of our little boy (i thought i had a belly at 10 weeks :-)- i can only imagine what i will look like 3 months from now)...
10 weeks.
14 weeks.
18 weeks.
22 weeks.
26 weeks.
He continues to be quite active most days. His movements are getting so much bigger, and starting to be a "little" unpleasant at times. It truly is incredible! I am very thankful to feel his movements... it keeps my mind more at ease! We are very excited to celebrate this next weekend with friends and family at our baby shower.
