Since the last baby post, we have had two more great appointments. I am now going weekly, which means we are getting close!! Each appointment has had great reports, with more and more discussions of what is to come. (Or should I say "how"???) Baby Daniels continues to grow as it should (which means mom is, too!!) and is still head-down! We are really starting to prep the house for the new arrival, as well as our minds. It will be a change, for sure, but one that we are very excited for. The to-do list gets updated daily and we try to scratch off something just as soon as we add something else.
The rest of the family is doing great and is preparing for the arrival just as we are. But, we have had a very sad and unfortunate thing happen on my dad's side of the family. We lost an uncle very suddenly last week. My mom and dad flew to Texas immediately to be with our family. Despite the very sad outcome, they got to spend a lot of wonderful quality time with uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, and of course, Grandpa and Grandma. Prayers of support are always welcome. Thank you to those who have already expressed their condolences. Here is a link to a wonderful website that was put together in his memory: www.lavelljordan.com
On a much happier note, Tim's brother, Jordan, has moved back to Atlanta!!! We couldn't be more excited. He is ready to take on some great bonding time with his little buddy, Tyler, as well as the new baby. He'll be living with Judy for the time-being and will work at a local restaurant as he looks for that awesome position as a chef. Welcome home, Jordan!!

Tyler's First Dentist Appointment
Today, Tyler had his first dental cleaning! With his 3rd birthday in just a few days, we figured this was a perfect opportunity to get a new habit in place. He has always been pretty good about brushing (and even flossing), but it was time to get a professional touch added to his hygiene. He was such a good boy and was on his BEST behavior!! They took an x-ray, cleaned and flossed his teeth, and did a flouride treatment. He was so still and did exactly as the hygienist asked. Then, he saw the dentist and he said everything looked perfect! Here are some pictures from his appointment...

Baby Update - 32 Weeks
Whew! Could these weeks fly by any faster?? Another great appointment down in the books. Everything is checking out great and to top it off - baby is STILL head down!!! A vbac delivery is definitely a good possibility. I go back for another check-up in two weeks, and then I start going every week!
At home, we are doing various things to prepare for our new little one's arrival. Tim painted the nursery a taupe color while I was in Phoenix and it looks fabulous. The room is so warm and comforting. We are using some of the same stuff that Tyler had as a baby, and will fill in the rest with gender-related decor once he/she is born. I have started to pull out some of Tyler's newborn clothes and accessories and will begin washing and organizing to make sure we are completely prepared this time.
Tyler is getting more and more excited, as well. At least, for as much as he understands!! We've been reading books and visiting friends with little ones hoping he'll begin to realize that he, too, will have a new baby at home. We think it will be a bit of an adjustment, but that he will relish in his new responsibilites as a big brother.
Mom and Dad are getting excited, constantly talking about what we think it is, what it will look like, what we will name it, etc. We just can't wait to bring this baby home, and increase our family by one more! Time to continue on with our long "to-do" list. Stay tuned for more updates!
