Hospital Tour

We are having a baby.... soon.
Tonight we got a tour of the hospital where we are planning on having our baby.
It was exciting and fun to see the rooms.... and I am starting to get scared.
James is already planning on where he is going to put the air mattress.
My husband is so clever.
We watched a newborn baby get his first T-shirt put on.
He was so small.
I am still so amazed that a little baby is growing in my belly.
Getting excited.

Lucky 13

Today is our 4 year anniversary. We got married on Nov 13 2004, thus the lucky 13.
AAAHHH wedded bliss. I am happy to report that I love my husband deeply and I am so blessed every day to be in this marriage.
God really did know what he was doing :). I am the luckiest girl alive!!! and I never exaggerate.
This was taken last week at the wedding of one of my co-workers.
I can't believe we have been married for 4 years already! It feels like it has just flown by!

Belly Update

Wow 34 weeks!!! Should I start counting down? I like having an excuse to eat whatever I want :P

I am always Hungry

Even before I came downstairs and we began the discussion about where we were going to eat James had started making breakfast. He is so sweet! We had waffles. YUMMMMY
notice the small part of California in this picture?

Fall is here

I love Atlanta in the fall. Palm trees don't change into beautiful reds and yellows. It is so beautiful here! Don't you think...
Here are some pictures we took at the park down the street.

James' favorite is over

So we spent yesterday taking down the Halloween decorations and I had a realization... we don't have any Christmas decorations :/. How sad is that! Here is the video I took on Halloween of our yard. We had so much fun!

Belly Update

33 weeks
I know that I missed last week, but I will post a bunch of our maternity pictures soon.
This week I really started to feel pregnant. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I have been super busy at work!!!! I am feeling so tired. I took a nap today and all we did was go to breakfast and to target and run some errands. It is so weird! I was telling James that I don't like this tired feeling because I just don't feel like myself. BUT I slept anyway! I am trying to take everyone's advice and sleep while I still can.
Thanks for loving and following our story.

Happy Halloween

Today started with lots of fun!! I have the brilliant ideas and James makes them all happen. I love to see the smiling faces on my patients on Halloween when I am wearing a ridiculous costume and this year I had to get creative. I decided to be a cat and my belly served as the fish bowl. Notice that the fish are scared of the big cat. James painted this on my belly the night before. Lots of people had a great laugh at work today.


Then we came home and had a quick costume change to Jack and Sally.... James' favorite Halloween movie characters :)


Our neighborhood has a parade and pizza party. After we were visited by the Statham's..... Superman (Mike had to wear James' costume!), a little frog, a fireman and a princess. So cute!


even the Stuckey's brought Pizza and hung out waiting to see James scare some older kids.

I got into the decorating this year and carved a pumpkin. Mine is the happy bat. James did all the rest. Isn't my husband so amazing, I can't believe he did that house free handed!!


HAPPY HALLOWEEN FRIENDS!

Is this nesting?

My nesting means that James is busy. He was being such a great husband and putting together all of the stuff I can not get on the floor to do. Then he had a realization, "I just know that this is going to be my whole life now... putting together baby stuff. Then it will be bikes and kid stuff." Just another reason why I love my husband.

We got a pack-and-play and a swing for James to assemble.


Thanks to everyone that loved us and donated to the Culin Baby Fund!

Full day of CA fun

Being that our weekend was so action packed we met for breakfast at Ihop...

The off to Dr Koning's office for a 4D ultrasound. This is just a bad angle, but it makes my belly look so big! :)

We crammed 9 people in that little room. One big happy family.

We got to see his little feet... finally seeing what is kicking me all of the time.

Our boy is not shy. Again in his full glory! At least we know for sure that it is a boy and I am buying the right color clothes.

And his little face. This one is a little harder to see, but the dark spot on the left is his eye, then below it is his profile with a nose and his lips. His arm is wrapped around his neck. I think that he has my nose. Oh the wonders of technology!

Special thanks to the Konings.... for your love and generosity! You are such a blessing to us!

Then off to Del Taco for lunch...mmmm.. chicken soft tacos.

Then off to get my toes done at my favorite place in Huntington Beach.

We saw the Imai family> Baby evan is so tiny! And saw my brother's new house!! (reminding me that many things have changed since we left and life in Riverside is going on without us.

And finally to the Tonggs for a game of settlers and some BJ's pizza (thanks ev and Jeff) just for old times.
