48 Hours

48 hours is not much time.
In that amount of time we will be a family of 4.
Yesterday we rearranged some of the furniture to get the swing and other infant stuff out. It's funny to see Davis walk up to a swing that he used to fit in and now dwarf it, just a visible reminder of how quickly Davis is growing.
Things to pray for over the next 2 days:
- Nurses at the hospital
- Doctors, Dr. Myers doing the C section, the anesthesiologist, etc...
- Katie's health
- Davis and his sweet spirit.
- Rest

48 hours doesn't seem like much time, until I realize that jack bauer could save the world TWICE, before Annie arrives- I'm so lame.

Final Friday Breakfast

We finished our final Friday Family breakfast as a family of 3.
We chose Gourmet Market for a couple of reasons:
1. One of the few places in Knoxville that doesn't "feel" like Knoxville.
2. Amazing coffee
3. Goat Cheese Eggs
4. Coffee is good
5. Hadn't been in a while
6. Davis asked for it.

One of those is not true, but the rest are.

We went to Wasabi with my parents last night for Mothers Day because they are going to Kansas for the weekend to be with Kristin. Isn't Wasabi where everyone goes for Mothers Day?
Little inside info- you can sit at the Sushi bar and order the full menu. Same great food, but you don't have to wait on all the show.
We found out that Davis likes Sushi. I mean he was killing it! We did take out the shrimp on the inside because he isn't supposed to have shellfish yet, but the rice, seaweed, fish eggs, salmon he was destroying. We love that Davis likes all kinds of food. We definitely don't think he will be one of those kids that will only eat cheese pizza or burgers. Davis will take the sushi.




I've decided that I am a yo yo. Up and Down. Up and Down. Or perhaps that is how the body works.
Anyway this week I was down 2 pounds! I didn't exactly meet my goal of 10 pounds before Annie comes, unless of course I lose 4 pounds this week, but I am still happy about this week.
This is probably the last BabyFat update since Annie comes next week.
Since BabyFat began in October I went down 36 pounds and I am happy that it was a slow, hopefully maintainable, loss.

Have a great weekend.

Happy Baby

So one week to go! Unbelievable.

Katie had a doctor's appointment this morning and at the end he said, " Ok, we'll see you in a week and have this baby, unless she comes early."
It is so hard to believe. There is no doubt that this pregnancy has flown by compared to Davis.
Last night we went to Big Ed's pizza, delicious, with Katie's ladies small group. Afterwards we went to Devon and Erin's house where the group had a surprise baby shower for Annie. We got some really cute stuff.
Tonight the Pastor's wives here at Fellowship are taking Katie to dinner for a shower as well. It is so great to be surrounded in so many different communities that love us so well.
I saw this video on Facebook and only hope that Annie is this light hearted.

Loving Life

Needless to say much more than, "Davis was loving life at this point."

Note: Dad/JC was not home when this happened. But I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have stopped him anyway!

Rain...Rain...

Rain.
I believe Milli Vanilli said it best when they said, "Blame it on the rain". If you haven't listened to Milli Vanilli in a while, shame on you. Sure they are famous for lip sync, but still a "classic" late 80s band. (I use the word "classic" loosely, like MC Hammer pants).
LOTS of rain in Knoxville.
But it couldn't have come at a better time. We did get some plants on Friday and got them in the ground and then it rained for 3 days. That's beautiful, couldn't ask for better weather for fresh plants.
Very low key weekend for us after planting the flowers.
I did have a Mexico reunion on Saturday evening. It is amazing to reunite with a group of people that you served with and see how quickly you begin remembering and reflecting on what happened on the trip. I am so fortunate to work alongside some amazing volunteers and college students. These are not college students who were just looking for a place to go over spring break, but really young adults who wanted to give their life away for the sake of the gospel for a week.
While I was at the reunion Davis and Katie were at Christian's 14th Birthday party. Unbelievable that he is already 14. Happy Birthday to him.

It's hard to believe, but we have begun our last full week as a family of 3.
Gonna eat up a lot of Davis time this week!

How to make a baby

Saw this on another blog I read and thought it very fitting for Katie and I.

We ain't no dummies.

We making babies.

Phone update

I'm not getting a new phone, but rather making this update via phone.
We are panera for our Friday morning family breakfast. We are trying to figure out how quickly Annie will be able to join us. It may just be Davis and one parent for a couple of weeks.
BabyFat.
Well I went down .5 pounds. I was a little disappointed but attribute a lot of it to p90x. It's a big "muscle" week. But I'll take the half pound.
Hopefully getting some flowers this weekend.
