Cruisin'


Briley has been cruising the streets the past few months in this sweet ride (haha). We tried to instill patients in our 18 mo old as she circled her daddy waiting for him to finish putting together the "simple" assembly. Once inside she had a blast. She goes on rides regularly with her Ya Ya (my mother) and they collect all sorts of neat stuff like acorns, rocks and leaves. Oh to be little and so fascinated by the simple things in life. Here's to fall and hopefully some cooler weather (although it was almost 90 degrees today).

Pregnancy Update?
Gestational Age: 36 weeks (woop woop)
Estimated Weight: LARGE! for both of us (hahah) He hasn't been weighed since 33 weeks, so we'll see, but i'm betting he's on the rather large size.
Important News: C-section is officially scheduled for Nov. 16 at noon (say a prayer for us) However, I have a feeling when I go off my meds next week we'll be seeing this little guy within 24 hours.
Cravings: Nothing really at this point. I'm so uncomfortable that eating and sleeping have become more of a chore than a pleasure. But that's okay...I"ll trade this any day for a 27 week delivery.
BK's thoughts on the Baby: She thinks that Colton sounds like "cold" so every time we say show us where Colton is she laughs and says "BURRR" Every single time. One day very soon she will learn that her brother is a human and not a piece of ice.

34 weeks!!




So we've reached a HUGE milestone this week!!! Our doctor said that 34 weeks was really the goal, and after that every week is a bonus. So here we are! We're just praying that his little lungs continue to develope and that whenever he decides to make his debut he will be well equipped for life on the outside! So hang in there Colton...Mommy and Daddy are eager to meet you but not just yet! BK also hit a milestone last week...she is 18 mo old!!! Our other miracle baby! She weighed 20 lbs 8 ounces (a petite little thing) and is 32 inches tall. Every day she learns something new and teaches us how to embrace life more. She's amazing and I can't wait to see what God has planned for her! We love you Briley Kate!!

Sprinklers

Just a few pictures of what daddy and BK have been up to while mommy grows a baby...

But here's a little update on how Colton is doing!

Gestational Age: 32 weeks and 3 days (yay!!!!)
Estimated Weight: 4 lbs and 11 oz
Number of weeks on bed rest : 10 weeks (yikes!)
- Only had to go into the hospital once so far (this is compared to 6 times during the last pregnancy)
- we've made it 5 weeks further than when BK was born
Cravings: Icees (poor Brian has to drive a good distance away just to find one...my husband loves me :)
BK's thoughts on the matter this week: I refuse to sleep...I am only doing this to prepare you for the new baby. Please do not be angry.

Game Day



It's no secret around my house that i'm not really an avid football fan. But I do try to get in the spirit. While I don't really understand the game, and I rarely care who wins or loses (I feel like its a sin to say that and be from the south!) I really do love this time of year. Brian's heart belongs to Ole Miss so we cheer for them (although BK does have a cow bell she likes to ring thanks to Aunt Linny). So get your cheer on!

And He Shall Be Called...

COLTON JOSEPH PETTWAY!

Yes we asked ourselves, why are we keeping the name a secret? We've loved so many names that its been hard to pick but this one feels right...it's hard to explain. I just love finally being able to say his name out loud. My sons name. Not just baby boy or "beebo" but the name my son will have throughout his entire life.

Pregnancy Post

Gestational Age: 30 weeks
Baby's Estimated Weight: 3 lbs 12 ounces
Cravings: Macaroni and Cheese...terrible for me, I know
Belly size: LARGE
Baby's Name: We have FINALLY agreed on a name but aren't ready to share it just yet!
Sleeping: not really well, bigger = more uncomfortable = pillow nest just to get to sleep
Best part: besides the fact that we've made it this far...feeling this little guy move!! Knowing that the miracle of life is growing inside of me! Truly an indescribable feeling.
BK's thoughts on the matter: "bubee" what's a baby besides a really large stomach that grows on a mommy? Do I have to share my toys? Do I need to learn to potty train by 2 years old? Must I really hold my own bottle? YES!!

Stock the Bar Party!

So my dearest and youngest cousin, Lauren, is getting married Nov. 6 to a sweet guy that we all love! We had planned on having some sort of shower/party for her and Paul but bed rest had me spinning. So it finally happened and it was so much fun! Luckily I have a super creative sister who worked her little booty off getting everything ready...I helped direct from the couch but mainly felt super bossy because I couldn't really help. So thank you Katie and Lindsey for putting together a wonderful party!!! And congrats to Lauren and Paul....we can't wait to celebrate with yall in a few short months (baby...you better stay in till then!)
