Less than 3 weeks left till baby due date

Well I have less than three weeks left till my due date but I am sure I will not last that long. I had my Dr Apt yesterday and I am 2 cm dialated. He is head down and waiting to head towards the light soon. Dr. Zanders gave me another ultrasound yesterday to make sure Gabriel was in the right position. He was and I got to see how chubby his cheeks were. He weighs about 7lbs she is guessing. Nathaniel weighed that at 40 weeks and 1 day. Octoer 4th is the full moon and my friend Barbara Kelley says he will be here then. I think she is right. I am excited and nervous at the same time but it will all work out. Nathaniel likes to feel the baby move and talks about him. I hope he does alright when he gets here too. All of our dear friends are ready and on standby to help out when the time comes. We are so blessed with our many friends.



My best friend Arcalee took my maternity pics last Sunday and I will post a few. They turned out awesome.



Last Sat. we celebrated Nathaniel's 3rd birthday party at the house even though he actual birhtday is not until October 9th. All of our friends came ad Adam's mom. It was a lot of fun. We had a moonwalk, pizza, and cake. We also brought out the kiddy pool for cooling off. I can not thank all my friends enough for coming to the party.



Last Sat. night Adam did my belly cast while GG played with Nathaniel. It turned out really cool. It is neat to compare it to the one we did when I was pregnant with Nathaniel. I will post pics too.



I will try to keep up my blog so stay tuned.



Have a wonderful day.

Chasity and Olivia's visit

Well it has been busy around here. Last friday we met Caitlin in Humble to pick Chasity and Olivia up for a two week stay at our house. Saturday we went to Schlitterbahn in Galveston for the day. We met my Aunt Mindy, Uncle Ken, Brandon and girlfriend, Cody, Christen and her friend. Nathaniel had a blast and no fear of a single thing. It was a great day. We took lots of pictures and video. Sunday was my 34th birthday and we met Uncle David, Scott, Mary at LaFinca in Katy for a late lunch. We were meeting to celebrate David's birthday but it turned out to be a joint celebration. It was lot's of fun and David says he will get me back next year but I doubt it. Monday the girls left with Mrs Arcalee and her family to go to San Antonio for 3 days. I can not wait to see the pics when they get back. I wish I could have gone but am very thankful to have friends like Arcalee to take my neices on vacation with them. I am enjoying watching their dogs while they are gone. They are very sweet. We have a lot planned while they are here and it's going to be fun. I will need a vaction when we are finished at the end of two weeks but I would not change a thing. It is my favorite time of summer when I get the girls. Until our next update have a great day.

Some Family Fun Time

Well it has been a nice week other than the heat here in TX. I went to the Dr for my 25 week check up and it went very well. I have been trying to do everything right. I grew 7 weeks worth in 4 weeks time. WOW! Not too bad since I am running a little behind schedule. The heart beat was grat ans always good to hear. I got registered for HCC to hopefuliy start next wek if not next semester. I am excited and nervous but have a lot of support from my family and friends to which I am thankful for.

We start potty training Nathaniel this weekend and that will be interesting. He is ready b/c he can take his clothes off and play on the toilet when he wants to. He is growing up so fast and says things that crack us up. We asked him what he wanted to do when he went outside and his response "I am just going to walk around". He like to say"That's not Fair" and " I'm a big boy and Momma is a big girl". I think that is funny considering I am a big girl right now.

On the 4th of July we spent it in Huntington TX and I am posting some pics from that visit. It was a good one. By the way today is my little brother's 30th birthday and I hope he has the best one especially being the Husband, Dad, Brother, and Uncle, and Grandson that he is. I am very proud of him and love him very much.

4th of July Update

Well we had a nice July 4th. We went to Granny and Pa's in Huntington. Granny had recovered from a dehydration spell on Wed and was able to go to her little sisters 70th birthday party in Houston Sat. I stayed and took care of my mother who lives with them. My little brother his wife and daughter spent a lot of time over visiting with us. We had a great time. Our children are pretty funny around each other. My son is jealous as is Jade. We popped some fireworks ate dinner that my cousin Caitlin cooked for us which was great. It was very low key but lots of fun. Nathaniel got a hair cut by Aunt SueAnn. Granny and Pa came home Sunday evening and Nathaniel and I stayed until Monday. We hated to leave but needed to get home and take care of stuff there. We missed daddy too. I do love my family very much. I hope everyone had a great 4th of July.

Fireworks with Daddy and GG

What a fun weekend...

We had a great weekend. GG and Nathaniel had a great time playing together. Lots of pool time. We all got in the pool for a little while. It was a nice break from the heat. We went to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner and then some Fireworks fun at the house. We bought sparklers, flying saucers, and some cone works. Nathaniel thought it was so cool. No arial fireworks due to the ban in almost all counties b/c of no rain. I will post some video. Sunday Nathaniel and GG got in the pool by 9am. I cooked brunch and served it to them pool side. They got out about noon. Nathaniel was very sad to see his GG go home but we look forward to going to her house in a couple of weeks to visit the water park in the Woodlands.



Today Nathaniel had his first dentist appointment. He did great. He has 20 teeth total and they were very clean and in good shape. We learned how to floss his teeth together and he really like the people there. A good dentist visit is a good thing. We will go back in December for another cleaning. Now we are going to play school and take a knapp. Yes, hopefully the both of us.



Today I am also 24 weeks into my pregnancy. Wow it is going fast and I am getting big. This little boy is getting stonger every week. I can tell b/c he has a very strong kick and I think he might be a soccer or football player. He gets plenty of practice right now. I love being a mom the most and look forward to every day with my children.



Have a great day!

The Richardson Family in Texas

Today I decided to try and start this blog. I am very proud to be apart of such a great family. I have a great husband, Adam and an awesome son, Nathaniel. We are expecting our next son on October 20 this year. Our family will be complete then. Today is going to be Hot but we are going to have lots of fun. Adam's mom is coming over to spend the day and night. We are going to play in the pool, have a picnic probably and do sparklers tonight. Nathaniel gets very excited to see his GG. I am thankful he gets to spend time with at least one of Adam's family members. They do not live close to here. I try very hard to raise my son to be family oriented. Family may be crazy sometimes but they are usually all ways there when you need them. We are also excited to be going to my grandparents for the 4th of July.
