A few Pre-Christmas Pics

1st Pic with Santa

Growing like a Weed! Good Weed

My little man is growing up to fast. He is a little mover in his walker. He seems to like to be right at my feet when I am cooking dinner. He is pulling up on stuff and trying to stand up with out support. We had a good time over the weekend with Fall Festivals and Treats on the Streets. Caleb dressed up like a Lion. He was soo Cute! Below are a few pics we took a month ago. The group shot is of all the Isbell grand kids.

Caleb loves his Ernie, that would be Lauren

Crawling

Well I don't think it will be too long and Caleb will be crawling. He's been working at it for a little while now but Sat he finally got his arms to move opposite his knees. He is growing sooo fast and I hate that I am missing out on a lot that goes on during the day. We have talked about me staying home and we continue to pray about it. These times I will never get back.

Here are a few of his 3 mth pics.

Caleb

Been too long

Well I haven't blogged in a long time. Had my hands full for the last few months. Caleb is 12 weeks today. This time on Feb 24th I was trying to push the little man out. I enjoyed the time off with Caleb and Nathan, but now I am back to work. I'm not liking it at all. I get here and count down till I get to go home. They say that is will get better but I don't think it will. I really don't want it to get better. I want be at home with my baby! Nathan is keeping him this week. Our parents are going to help out this summer. Nathan and I have talked about letting me stay at home. We are really praying about it. Hope God gives us an answer soon.

I will post some pics later today. Well I off to lunch with Brandy(no fair she now a stay at home mom) and Saylor!

And 2 became 3, 2/24/2010

2/24/2010 is a day that I will never forget. God blessed Nathan and I will a prefect little boy. Delivery wasn't what I had planned but we made it through. I ended up having to have a C-section because he was turned. Recovery hasn't been as bad as I was thinking. I'm two weeks into it and I feel really good. Here are a few pics from that GREAT day.

UGGG!

Well I went to the Dr today. She said that I am still at 1 cm. I was hoping for a much bigger number! Caleb will be here Wed 24th unless he comes on his own. My due date is actually Monday. Not sure what he is thinking. Is he like his Daddy and doesn't like the cold weather, so he'd rather stay in Mommy? Does he think that he is better off where he is? (I don't think I'll be a bad Mommy). Is he scared of all his rowdy cousins that can't wait for him to get here? Who knows.

I'm still working and said I would until I deliver, but I'm rethinking that. I think if I make it to Friday then that will be my last day. That way I can take it easy those last few days.

I hope my next post will be pics of Caleb but we will have to see.

Count Down Begins

We are starting to count down! Only 11 days till my due date. I still don't think I will make it but who knows. I went to the dr yesterday and there is a little progress. I'm not feeling that good today but I don't know if that means anything. I'm ready for him now but I can wait a few more days.

Caleb's room is ready! I will take some pics tonight and post tomorrow.

Caleb's Things

Here are just a few of the gifts made just for Caleb. The little cowboy sign I purchased at the Mushroom Festival.

I see the light!

So today I'm 36 wks. I finally see the light at the end of a long tunnel. I think we have everything ready for Caleb's arrival. Yes that's right we finally have a name! Caleb Hoke. We have the room pretty much ready and have completed child birthing 101. I guess I will have to give Nathan an A+ since he did sit through the whole thing with little complaining. I have had several showers and have gotten a lot of great gifts. I will post a few of the pics later.

I'm on weekly Dr's visits now and go back Friday. I hope to have more info to post after that apt.

More Meredith

I have a few more pics of the little diva. A few are from her leaving the hospital and some are from New Year's Eve. She is getting so big so fast.
