Shower Time

I have had one shower so far that Ezekiel's Grandma(Chris' Mom) threw for me. It was such a sweet shower with just family. I loved it. We got some really good stuff..like our crib:)...cute cute clothes and lots of diapers (Which I know we will use)!
Last night I came home from my last Jazzercise class until Zeke comes and Chris had dinner all ready for me to devouer!! He is so amazing...I love him! I was eating and he told me that Christina called for me and wants me to call her back about her throwing me a shower at Parkwood Baptist Church. Yay, I'm sooo excited!! Another shower to get stuff we need for our little Churro!

My best friend/sister Brittny Messer, soon to be Mrs. Mayerlen :), and her mom (who is my second mom) Jen Polk are throwing me a shower July 11th. I thought that was going to be it for the showers but I was wrong and I like being wrong this time. I am going to be showered with love! I'm so blessed to have all of these people in my life that love me. I love them soo big!

As big as a....WHAT?!?!

I get these emails each week that update me on my pregnancy and how the baby is doing/growing. I love it because I learn something new each week. Also, when I start to feel something different then I did before in my pregnancy, it usually says something about my symptoms! This week on my 30 week email it talks about Zeke's brain growth and how it's not flat and round anymore. It's starting to look like a real brain with grooves in it. That's cool right. It goes on with some more updates on him and at the end of each email it says how much he weighs and how big he is. One time, I think two weeks ago, it said he was 2.5 pounds and the size of a Churro!! I laughed so hard when I read it and now I call him my little churro:) This week it said he was 3.5 to 4 pounds and was the size of a Chihuahua! That's right..a Chihuahua!!
Here's a picture of my favorite Chihuahua..Snickerdoodle!


It's kinda crazy when you think about having a dog inside of you. What's even crazier, is when I think about something like that coming out of me. I know...I know...I am going to be pushing something far bigger then a chihuahua out of me...but it's still weird.


I couldn't resit putting this awesome picture up.


Don't you just want to squeeze it!!

Bellybutton Laugh

We discovered tonight that my bellybutton pokes out when I laugh. So of course we had to film it!! I hope you enjoy.

Here's the link to our Youtube account.

30 weeks!

We have made it to 30 weeks.....10 more to go! I keep saying that time is going by so fast and it's not slowing down. It still hasn't slowed down at all. People always say the last month is the longest and I'm ok with that. I love being pregnant! I am so thankful to have this little man growing inside of me.

Here's a picture of the 30 week belly


Uncle Mike also got Ezekiel a Braves Jersey! It is super nice.




Until next time...The Bryants :)

Final Trimester

We have made it to our last and final trimester! As you can see we are super excited about becoming parents and just knowing that we are almost there is simply amazing. Have a couple updates we can share with all of you lovely people!

::UPDATES::

1- We bought a video camera that we have been wanting for the past 4 months. Chris is super excited about this because it's an HD Camcorder with an internal harddrive. ( You tell me what you think about that!!) haha pretty much it has everything he wanted in it! I just wanted the thing to record! :) We want this video camera for a couple reasons:
Number 1) We want to record the birth..Yes the whole thing. Clips of me laboring and looking amazing:) Plus the birth. Our first moments with our first son are going to be so emotional that I want to get it all on film so we can look back and remember what a blessing he is! I am sure it will be so crazy right after he's born that we wont remember everything so that why as well.
Number 2) To record him growing up! I think of the Areosmith song" ...and I don't want to miss a thing." Haha I know I am a dork and seem to relate everything to song. I want to get his smiles, laughs, cries, pee pee all over daddy the first time he changes him and bath times. P.S. Chris has never...I repeat never...changed a diaper before so I am excited to see what will happen!


2- I'm going to be 30 weeks pregnant in three days! How crazy is that. Time is going fast and I like it. The past 10 weeks flew by so I can only imagine what the last 10 will be like. A lot of people ask me how far I am and how much longer I have. I tell them 7 and 1/2 months and I have 10 weeks to go. Some people say well you might not have 10 weeks it could be shorter. True but I am not counting on it. First time moms usually go a little longer baking there little ones. I am kinda planning on going longer so if that happens I will be ok with waiting a little longer for my little Churro to come out!!

3- Birth class starts in two weeks!!!! I am super stoked about that. We are taking them with Kristen, who is the cha cha feeding queen! The class is for 6 weeks every Monday night. It will end about three weeks before my due date. So I know the next 6 weeks will fly by:)


I think that is it for the updates. If I think of any more I will post again.
Thanks for reading!

Oh ya..I have my new belly pictures for the week that I have to post. Coming shortly!

We can bring him home!

Ezekiel's Uncle Mike and Aunt Kristy have really blessed us with some great things. They were in town this weekend and gave us some amazing gifts!! We are so thankful for them! :)
They got us our car seat and stroller combo..(with cheese please)

We love it!! I am so excited now we can bring him home!
This is me just waiting to bring him home. Soon he will not be in my belly but in the seat:)

I tried to do a catalog shot for ya. When I look at the stroller I want to sing that one song" They see me rollin' " haha

Just the car seat.

and this is the stroller and car seat attached.


Also, they got us some more goodies. This is just SOME of what they got us.
They got us diapers(always good), lots and lots of wipes, receiving blankets, sleeping outfits, onesies, and these cute little newborn shoes.


Here I am with the cute little shoes. I want to squeeze them!


Thank you so much Uncle Mike and Aunt Kristy! We're so thankful for EVERYTHING! Zeke will love all of his goodies...maybe as much as I do;)

Rock-a-bye Baby

So here is a picture of Zeke's Cradle that my step dad Armond is building from scratch. Chris took this picture on his phone with not the best lighting. It's almost done so when it is we will post more pics! I'm excited to have something that we can pass down from generation to generation. I think we're going to get the smaller side of the cradle engraved with our last name. Sweetness..I am so excited!




Also there are some pictures of Zeke's amazing crib that his grandparents, aunts and uncles got for him. We love it. It has a trundle storage unit under the bed, changing table attached at the end, laundry basket and more shelving at the end!!! It has everything we'll need to put little Zeke to sleep!







We love it:)

Get in my belly!

Here are my belly pictures from 12 weeks to now (27 weeks)! I can not believe our little gator will be here in 13 weeks...91 days if you want to get technical ;) The time has gone by quickly so far and I just want to cherish every moment of being pregnant. I feel so blessed and honored to be caring this God created human being in my belly. Chris and I pray for our little man to be the man God created him to be. I know he has a purpose in this crazy world. We both come from jacked up families and backgrounds, who doesn't right? We pray that he will know God's AMAZING GRACE and knows that no matter what happens or decisions he makes....God's Love Never Fails!
