Lance's Ring Dunk: Team Snider!

Phew, I didn't think I was ever going to finish uploading pictures! So after all that uploading, I will let the pictures do the talking. We had a great time with everyone at the ring dunk and Lance did, well not so great. But that's ok, I think he still beat Darrin's time. Reagan had fun at her very first college party and stayed up until past midnight!







I love this one









and this one







and I really love this one!






































































More pictures to come from the game, I think I have hit my max today for uploading pictures!

Officially Texans Again! For a Little While At Least.

Well we finally made it! I am SO, so glad that is over. I never, ever want to move again! That was the first time we have ever had to make such a big move and it was really hard work, especially since I am 7 months pregnant.

I think for about 2 weeks strait I spent most of my time packing, organizing, cleaning, throwing things away, labeling, etc. We have way to much stuff, but every time I thought about throwing something away, I would think "but I might need that for baby #2, or what if we have a third and she is a girl, or we will need that once we have a house."However, we got it all loaded up in the UHaul truck on Sunday and spent Monday and Tuesday night sleeping on a foam mattress. The only things we had left in the apartment were a TV, computer, and a few of Reagan's favorite toys. Darrin hooked up a trailer to the back of the UHaul to carry my car and drove it all the way from San Diego to Austin (to drop off a friend who rode with him) then to Dallas. Reagan and I stayed the night with my friend Tache, she took us to the airport this morning and we landed tonight around 10pm.

Reagan did GREAT on the flight here. I was worried it would be a long day with her. Its been a while since I have had to travel with her alone, but she could not have been any better. As soon as we boarded, I got to board disabilities since I am pregnant (WHOOP, we were sitting front row with great seats) and before the flight attendant brought out drinks she was asleep. She slept for almost 2 hours until about 20 min before we land in San Antonio. Once we landed we did not have to switch planes, and once we got up in the air, we were back down again.

So we are here! Now we just have to get everything unloaded into storage. We have a few days with Darrin and then he will go back to Tijuana until Chrsitmas, and then he will be done with that job. Wish us luck, we are off to College Station in the morning to watch Uncle Lance dunk his ring and see the Aggies BTHO Nebraska!!

26 Weeks

I had my last ultrasound today with my doctor here. I have been going every 4 weeks just to check the placenta and the growth of the baby. Everything looked great and the placenta has moved up, so no more needing a C-section. He is growing great and measuring a week ahead! (not surprised one bit, if you remember my first child was 8lbs 9 oz!)

Here are 2 pictures she printed off. She gave them to Reagan and Reagan put them in her purse. She told the doctor it was her baby brother. :) So sweet.



It's still a boy!
