GAVIN!!!

This is Aunt Mandy – I have commandeered this blog for the time being. I figured all you loyal readers would like to know that Gavin was born this morning, sometime between 8:00 and 8:18 I do believe. I am sure Lindsey will be back soon giving you all the juicy details, but for now I can give you the basics.


Gavin Edward Holt
12/12/08
8lbs 15.5ozs and 22in long

40 Week Checkup

The 9th was the big day, but Gavin somehow did not get the message. Apparently he is quite comfortable in there. I went for another visit to the doctor today, and unfortunately have not made any progress. I am still dialated at 2 centimeters, and my stomach is measuring between 38 and 39 centimeters. Gavin just keeps growing in there, but is just not ready to come out. If he does not make an appearance before Monday I will be induced on Tuesday. As for now that is all the news.

Ring in the Christmas Season!

Gavin's Room

This past weekend when Mandy was here visiting she helped me with this little project for Gavin's room. I just wanted to thank Mandy again for all the tedious hours of painting the frames, arranging and rearranging, and then meticulously measuring and leveling the pictures on the wall. THANK YOU so much Mandy. And here are a few pictures of our handiwork.

39 Week Checkup

So today we have some good news, progess! Lets start with the basics, first things first; somehow my over the long weekend while we all ate way too much, including me, I lost one pound. Nothing to worry about really just funny. And the really exciting news, I am now at 1 centimeter and an 80th, so basically 2 centimeters. Yah!! My doctor said that we could have a little by the weekend, so we shall see.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Well the Thanksgiving weekend started off for us with a little concert. Kevin and I got the chance to go see Cold Play, Kevin's all-time favorite groups. We had a wonderful evening and the concert was amazing. And the best part was we had great seats, that had an aisle on the left side, also the stage side, that allowed us to sit and enjoy the concert most of the night, perfect for a 9 month pregnant woman.







Shortly after we made it home from the concert Mandy and Jake arrived for the weekend. Thursday morning Kevin went and joined some friends from church to partake in a game of football, while the rest of us enjoyed a little relaxing. We spent the day at the Schell's, some friends from Kevin and I's sunday school class. We had a wonderful time with friends and family eating way too much food, and enjoying Kevin's first ever bbq dr. pepper turkey. Which I have to say was the talk of Thanksgiving and everyone loved it, it lived up to its expectations.







The rest of the weekend consisted of relaxing, a little shopping, golfing for the boys, preparing Gavin's room, an old western town, Glendale Glitters Specatacular, a new pizza joint, oh and what would Thanksgiving weekend be without ringing in the new year with some "Elf" and "Home Alone."
