Here are a few pics of our little man! Born May 27, 2010 at 11:06am. 7lbs 10oz 20 inches and perfect!!!!!! We couldn't love him more!!!!!

No pics yet......sorry!

Just real quick, I wanted to update. Our little Sam Michael got here on May 27 at 11:06am just perfect!! Things have been a little hectic though, because I got pnemonia the day after I got out of the hospital. Hence.....no pictures yet. Soon though, I promise!!!! He is so precious!!!!

Babycakes

I just wanted to write really quick to let you all know.....I had an amniocentisis today and our little guy's lungs are develpoed so we are having a baby tomorrow!!!!!!! YEA!!!! So wait for pics to come!!!!!!

The post you all have been waiting for........

Me.....yesterday. 28 1/2 weeks!

Again.......I know, I'm having a huge kid. I've had a few lovely people ask me if I'm about to pop because I'm HUGE! Thanks......but I have a couple more months. But thanks for asking....jerk. ha ha

My cute baby boy!!!!! I got these 3D images 3 days ago. At first he was being stubborn and hiding his face, but I poked him for a while and he turned right to the camera for us! Mark and I think he looks like my brother Aaron. It's funny because whenever I see ultrasound pics for other people I'm like, "oh that's nice (I know I'm so sweet) but once I saw these pics of our kid, I was sooooo excited! I'm in Love!!!!!

Stinkin' Cute!!!

Here is the one where he was being stubborn! Oh and look at that buff bicep!!! ha ha.

Okay so here is the update!!!! I am officially 29 weeks on Monday! (in 2 days). That is 3 weeks further than I got with Miles and things have been going absolutely perfect!!!!! Sometimes I think it's too good to be true. The only bad part is because when I had Miles they had to cut me open like an upside down T and I have hardly any stomach muscles, so I carry the weight in my back and pelvis. Sometimes it can be excruciating. But lucky for me I have an awesome brother in law who is a chiropractor (Dr. Clint Huston at Desert Mountain Chiropractic in Queen Creek.....go to him, he's amazing!). That helps me a ton.

Also, I am going to have a planned C-section at 36-37 weeks. So that means I only have 7-8 weeks left!!! YEA!!! At 36 weeks they are planning on doing an amniosentisis to see if the baby's lungs are developed, and if they are, then they will deliver me the next day. And if they aren't, they will deliver me a week later at 37 weeks. So the end of May......here we come!!!! I am getting very excited!

As for names.....it's been funny, Mark and I can't agree. But finally we have! His name will be Sam Michael Huston. Sam-for my dad, Michael-for Mark's dad. Mark isn't wild about the name Sam, but after lots of begging and pointing out that he named Miles and I'm the one who has been pregnant with him, and he is getting cut out of my stomach, he relented. He keeps saying he is going to just call him Buddy or Sammy Whammy. Either is fine with me. I liked several other names, but none seemed right, and I feel good about the name Sam. Even if he has the same name as the guy who helped the Texans win at the Alamo.....but who even knows that right? ha ha. PLus that guys name is Samuel and his last name is spelled different.

So that's my pregnancy in a nutshell. Honestly, I don't love being pregnant and it's really uncomfortable, but it will be totally worth it. I watch the Baby Story a lot and every time they hand the baby to the mom I cry! I cant wait for that moment!!

Mark and I with Sis. Iverson. Mark and his companion would stay with her and her husband before they got an apartment.

Us with Alejandra and her kids...Mark taught them and she makes the BEST flautas!

Us with Bro. Winder (who we stayed with) and the Cavazo's. Mark taught this fam too and they are getting ready to get their Patriarchal blessings!

Dinner at Gustavo and Ernestina's house. They are one of the couples who got sealed!!! The other couple on the right, Marco and Aide are the other couple who got sealed. Along with all their kids too!

Last weekend, Mark and I had the opportunity to go to Washington to be there when 2 families he taught on his mission were sealed in the Columbia River temple. We had a great time!!!!! It was really neat to be there for that experience. I told Mark he was very lucky to see that because most missionaries don't get that experience! Both the families are amazing and it is so cool to see how much they have embraced the gospel!!!!!

Mark's new plan!

I am very happy to tell everyone this!!!! About 2 months ago, my cute husband decided he wanted to go to Law School! After lots of praying and researching, talking to lawyers, his advisor, etc. he is going to do it!!!! He has it all figured out how he can gratuate with his Social work degree in May 2011 and hopefully start Law school that fall. It will be a lot of work taking LSAT prep classes, taking the LSAT, going to school more than full time, etc, but I have no doubt that Mark will get accepted. We are not sure where we will go yet for school, but we are excited!!!! It just all seems right and Mark seems more excited now. I am so sure Mark will be a great lawyer and will do great in Law school. So far College has not really been hard for him at all. Without hardly trying he gets all A's. (sickning, I know). SO it will be great for him to go to law school!!! I am so excited and so proud of Mark!!

Disneyland!!!!!

Our nephew Bryant got picked to be trained as a Jedi knight! Here he is fighting Darth Vader. He was so cute doing all the moves!!!

Me and Mark on Autopia. One of the few rides I went on.

For Christmas, Mark's parents took the family to Disneyland!!!! IT was so much fun. I couldn't go on most of the rides, but we still had a great time. By the end of the day I was so exhausted, but it was so worth it!!!!! These are all the pics I took......unfortunately.
