Just because...

Just because I'm absolutely obsessed with this little guy...

and because his grandparents haven't seen him in forever...

Our cute little man

As most of you have probably heard, Aiden Edward Weekes was welcomed into our family on May 18th at 5:30 a.m. 

He was 2 1/2 weeks early! 

He weighed 5.11 and was 19 1/4 inches long. 

We LOVE everything about him. 

It is so fun to see his little personality-he is so easy to love!

Here are the proud grandparents:

*Note to self: I need to get a good picture of Aiden with Tyson's parents! This is all  I had!



Here are just some random ones that weren't posted on Facebook:

He pulls the funniest poses sometimes! He fell asleep like this!

We are so grateful that Aiden was sent to our family. We love him so much and are so grateful he is ours forever!

Our family

Here are just some silly pictures that my sister Heidi took of us this last weekend. I am 35 weeks along here! GETTING CLOSE! yay!

Our cute little man

(Ok-not the best picture. I need to get Tyson to take one.)

So, as you can see, I have a very small belly for 31 weeks. This has been kind of stressful because every time I go into the doctor, the nurse makes a big deal about how they need to watch me really close because the baby might not be growing right etc. 

Well, I just had an appointment today and I am still really small. So the nurse talks to the doctor and the doctor has a nurse practitioner come in and re-measure me and afterward she says, "You are pretty small. I think it would be a good idea to get an ultrasound." Of course I start freaking out inside and saying lots of prayers!

So, the ultrasound tech comes in and starts the ultrasound...

After a looong couple of minutes of her measuring different parts of his body,  I'm happy to report that everything is good and normal. phew! In fact, he is in the 64th percentile. He is a bigger than average baby. Which blows my mind!

After the stress was over, this ended up being the BEST ULTRASOUND EVER!!!!!!!

She zoomed right into his face, which you could see pretty clear. AND IT WAS ADORABLE. I was pretty much squealing like a little girl the whole time. lol I couldn't help it. 

His little eyes were closed and at one point he opened and closed his mouth a couple of times and stuck his tongue out! She also showed me that he has a bunch of peach fuss on his head. He is probably going to have a lot of hair! I couldn't believe how cramped he is in there too. The ultrasound tech said that I am probably carrying him either really low and/or back further because I am hiding him really well. 

What a relief it was and an answer to my prayers! I can't wait to meet him in person! He is going to be so dang cute! :)

Tyson has been doing an internship at Cooper Norman (accounting firm) this tax season and works so much! I hate not seeing him so much. The days are so long and there are many nights he comes home and goes straight to bed. He is loving the work. Which is great! But the long days and weeks are really taking a toll on us...especially me. 

So, we have been trying to make date night EXTRA special. Tyson always tries to get off early on Friday nights so that we can have a good night together. Here are some recent dates we had:

1. CAMPING in the house:

When Tyson came home from work, I had a note and a backpack waiting for him on the front porch. Here is the note: (It's a spin off the movie "UP")

Good Afternoon Wilderness Explorer!

     Evening

Are you ready to become SENIOR wilderness explorer? It will be dangerous! But muster your courage because you are about to have the time of your life!

In order to take on the honorable title of ‘SENIOR WILDERNESS EXPLORER’, you will need to accomplish certain tasks:

1.    Get your gear ON and READY! You’ll find them in the backpack. (What is that? You just came from work and have work clothes on? NO EXCUSES! Put them on over top!!! This is serious business!!! And don’t forget to put the backpack on when you are done.)

2.  Find a wilderness (You’re in LUCK! There is one right through the door you are facing!)

3.  Light the fire (grill) because NO senior wilderness explorer will allow himself to freeze…or starve.

4.  Knock on the door once and ring twice for further instructions.

GOOD LUCK!

“THE WILDERNESS MUST BE EXPLORED! KA KA RAAAWR!!!”

It was way funny. He did according to the note and when I let him in. I quickly snapped a picture: 

When he walked in, there was camping sounds playing on itunes in the background. haha (I am SUPER silly but it was so fun!) 

 

We grilled hot dogs and had potato salad, etc... (notice girl scout cookies, YUM!)

THEN we built a fort/tent:

It was super sweet... :)

Once it was up, we snuggled up inside and did a really fun crossword puzzle about camping and watched a movie. 

Super silly date but those make the BEST ones. We had a blast!!!

2. Play Dough Date

For this date, we made homemade play dough. We blind folded each other and then sculpted each other! Here is what we came up with...

I just can't get enough of Tyson's attempt at my pregnant belly, so here is the side view:

 LOL. He is such an artist! 

I love being married to Tyson! We have so much fun together and LOVE being together. I guess that is why I miss him so badly during those long days.

 

It's a BOY

We just had our ultrasound today! We are having a boy!

I'm just so super excited because...

I'm expecting!!!!!!!!! 

June 6th is the big day.
