West Lakes Floods

We had some bad weather last night and woke up to a flooded neighborhood.  We have never had this much water around our house

This is the street along the side of our house.

Lacye and Chris woke up to find her car flooded but Carson was having a blast in his new boots.

He wanted the dogs to come out and play with him.

Olla Baby Shower

Stihl's baby shower in Olla was today!  Natalie had some really fun games put together for us all to play.  Our baby food knowledge was put to the test and we had to watch out for the b-word, Baby.

The cake was so cute and very good!

I had lots of help opening presents. Tori, Ava, Cason, and Brianne all helped out.

The hostesses: Natalie, Songia, Carly, Renee', and Cindy

Renee' made this great diaper cake.

Baby Shower Time

This saturday was my first baby shower and boy was it exhausting.  Opening presents is very tiring when you have limited lap room.  We had a really good turn out and I was very excited to see some old friends and their little ones too.

Whats been going on in the Workman household?

Since Stephen was home for the past two weeks, he did a lot in Stihl's room.  He painted a chest, hung up some shelves, and we got new carpet put down.  The carpet had to be replaced due to a leaky faucet in the hall bathroom, so that was an unexpected task.  We also got Stihl's letters painted, decorated, and displayed!  Now all we need for the room is my glider and ottoman, which should be in this week. 

This past weekend I attended a childbirth class at Cabrini Hospital.  I learned a lot and realize that Stephen has a lot of responsibility during the laboring process.  Yesterday I went and looked at our maternity picture proofs and they were great.  I loved them all, it was really hard to choose my favorites.  Lori Brian did a fabulous job and they turned out even better than I had imagined.  I explained some shots to her that I saw in a magazine and then she put her on twist to them and they turned out just like what I wanted.

GROWING BABY, EXCITING PARENTS-TO-BE

This afternoon we took our maternity pictures with Lori Brian.  This photo shoot was all about the belly and our growing baby.  Stephen and I took pictures for almost two hours.  We brought a pair of Stihl's shoes, a bucket I painted with Stihl's name on it, and blocks that spelled his name too, all to have in the pictures.  We will get to look at the proofs next week!

After the pictures we headed to the doctor's office for our check up and 30 week growth sonogram.  He is now weighing in at 3 pounds and 8 ounces with a heart rate of 143 bpm.  He is right on track and looking good.  We go back in three weeks to check in on our little man again.

Stihl is moving around all the time now. They say he should have some sort of sleep pattern but I haven’t figured his out just yet. He flops when I first move in the morning, all during the day I get kicks and punches here and there, at night when I am going to bed I watch my belly move, and even when I wake up in the middle of the night for my usually potty breaks I feel him dancing. His dancing around never keeps me from my beauty sleep and I really enjoy counting kicks. Does he ever sleep? Oh Lord, please let him sleep when he comes into this world.
