Induction to be scheduled!

Update on the baby front:

Dr. Davis is trying to get me in to the hospital to induce on 09-09-09! Cool Birthday huh?? But this would give David time to be here IF Matthew decides to wait until that long and David's training doesn't get postponed!. Dr. Davis has me wondering the way he talked if I will go early again (Jackson was 3 1/2 weeks early). In fact he has me a little nervous that I will go again early???

I go again in 2 weeks and that starts my weekly appointments. And he should start checking me then to see if there is any progress being made! Hopefully little boy will hold off until his Daddy can be here!

Random Pics

Here are some random pictures of Jackson over the last couple weeks! I can't believe in just a few short weeks I won't have all my attention on him - how do you split the time between 2 sweet boys without feeling guilty??? I makes me sad (or maybe it is just the hormones talking) sometimes that my time is drawing near with just Jackson as the baby and wondering how he is going to accept the change and challenge of becoming a BIG BROTHER??!! But he will ALWAYS be my baby - no matter what!






Memaw was making biscuits and Jackson got to make one too!

A fishing we will go

Jackson had quite the time visiting Dee Dee at work today.....they even got in some rod and reel action!

When in the Mountains, you are a little closer to heaven!

This weekend I decided last minute to go to the Mountain house with my parents. It would be the last weekend to travel since this Saturday I will be 6 weeks out (and my track record with going full term is not so good). So I was crazy enough to pack up myself, Jackson, and yes Bailey and Harley. We had a wonderful time and the weather was SO much cooler up there.

Jackson had the time of his life...we got there about 11:45 Friday night and he was so excited. It was really sweet to see the excitement through the eyes of a 2 year old. I think it took him til almost 1 to finally fall asleep and he was up and at em at 6:30 the next morning. He slept in the bed with me which confirmed 2 things for me! 1- we NEVER let Jackson sleep with us thank goodness and 2- we are not ready for a big boy bed quite yet!

The next day we went into town and luck would have it they were having a festival - selling crafts, baked goods, and what not. So we walked through that and Jackson had the best time. He played the game where you pick up the duck to find out what prize you win, which he could have played all day! He won a match box car and this HUGE frog stuffed animal! After a snow cone we decided to head back to the house and enjoy the piece and quiet of Mountain Life.

We all hated to come home Sunday, but someone around here has to work - right?? lol


Here is Jackson at the festival!

Here is my parents home away from home!

Jackson watching cartoons in the rocking chair that use to be my Dad's!

Mom is finally getting the log furniture for all the rooms that she wants- it's only been 20 years worth of hand me downs! :) I think she deserves it!

WCU

Cristie and I stopped by our old college on the way home from Misty's house - Western Carolina University. We had such a good time talking about the good ole days and seeing all the new changes. It has been 6 years....seriously where has the time gone???

Here is the Alumni Tower that sits in the middle of campus

Had to have our pics taken under the tower!

This is David's old dorm - Benton

This is Moore Hall where all my classes were for HIM....they say it is haunted??

Cristie and I outside of Moore Hall

This is the building I use to work in - David too actually!

This is the Tuck River that is right by where I use to live. David loved fishing in this river.

And here is my old house....lived there with Kelly and Chris until they graduated and then Cristie, Jennifer and Mary the last year!

We have a name!

David and I have finally decided on a name for this little guy!
Matthew Glenn Akins

Both are after family - Matthew is David's middle name and Glenn is David's dads middle name!

Let the monogramming begin! :)

Meeting Baby Reid!

We made it to meet Baby Reid this weekend....after Misty being home only 1 day. Sorry about that- I don't think she minded though. I only have about 1 more week where I can travel and then they want me Fayetteville bound. :(
Reid is the sweetest baby and he is SO good! She couldn't ask for more. He wakes up every 3 hrs to eat, eats quickly w/ no spit up and then right back to bed. Oh how I wish I had it like that with Jackson and how I really hope my next one is that good!

He looks a lot like his Daddy to me!

It all came back to me! He is SO SWEET!

Poor Buster was out on the porch a lot.....

Misty, Cristie and myself! The 3 Amigos!
