Diaper Showers for Jake

Yesterday was a great day for the Jackson Family! We started off our morning with a diaper shower given to us by our Sunday School Class at First Baptist Dallas and then from 2-4, my best friend, Wanissa and my sister, DeAnn gave me a diaper shower at DeAnn's house.

We are so grateful for everyone that came and gave us such wonderful gifts. You can never have enough diapers!! I took a picture of Jake's closet to show you how stocked we are at the moment with diapers and wipes.

DeAnn did a great job of decorating....as usual. We had some great food and just a good time of enjoying each others company. Not only did I get plenty of diapers but also a good amount of babies r us gift cards, wipes, ointments, a play gym, and a few clothes for my new little man.

The only thing missing....Jake. I'm ready so you can make your entrance at any time.....seriously! Thanks again to everyone! Jeremy and I are so blessed to have such wonderful families and friends! Until next time, we'll keep you posted!

36 Weeks Pregnant...Are we done yet?

I thought I would finally show myself and believe me, there is plenty to show! I am 36 weeks pregnant today and soooo ready for this little boy to get here. I have finally hit that point of being done with this pregnancy. I'm uncomfortable, I can't sleep and my lower back is killing me.

This pregnancy has been totally different from my first and has been great up until about a week ago. Jax was breach - head up and planned c-section but this little guy is head down and I have so much pressure that I didn't experience before. I've put on about the same amount of weight but haven't had any swelling or high blood pressure this time....which is a blessing!

I had a doctor appointment today and everything is looking good. We are just waiting to see how Jake is going to get here....c-section on april 9th or VBAC when he decides he's ready. I'm just taking one day at a time....time will tell.

I got some great sono pics today of Jakes face. He was laying on his side. He has cheeks and a chin like Jax. The second pic shows his nose and lips. He's a bit smashed in that pic.

So everything is coming along well. I've tried to get a couple of pictures of Jax kissing my belly or talking to my belly but when he sees the camera he thinks he's suppose to say cheese or pose so those pictures haven't happened. This pic - I just love. It was one morning and he had his hand on my belly just taping his fingers....precious. He tells Jake night night and love you and Hi Jake....I hope it goes this well when he gets here!

These last couple of pictures are just of Jax hamming it up. He pulled down his diaper one night and was running around laughing at himself and of course stopped to say cheese in the process. As he says..."what a mess". Enjoy and we'll keep you posted!

Sesame Street with Grumpa and Grammy

OK, so its been 2 weeks since this event actually took place but at least I finally got some time to sit down and write about it. I'm so tired right now - all I want to do is sleep and lay around but I don't think that will happen until this child makes his entrance and even then...how much rest am I really going to get :) Gotta love it.

Anyways, on to the big adventure. Jax got to go with Grumpa and Grammy to Sesame Street Live at Nokia theater a couple of weeks ago. They said he watched so intently and loved every minute.....I knew he would. He's always loved elmo but now he also likes ernie and is getting into the other characters of sesame street. He gets so excited when they come on. I've included a few pictures that Grammy took of the night. Enjoy and we'll keep you posted!
