Doctor's Visit and Daddy's Home

On Tuesday, I went to see the doctor with my Mommy and Daddy. I'm really glad they went with me! I don't like going to the doctor, even though she seems to be a nice person and all, she still frightens me. She asks a lot of questions and pokes me in funny places.

The doctor said everything is okay and I am doing just fine. I'm growing and definitely getting bigger inside my Mommy. Mommy still tells everybody how much I kick and poke her and give her heartburn. Sorry Mommy, I don't mean to do that, but it is getting very crowded in here!

My Mommy had to have a shot given to her at the doctor's office. Let's just say, from where I am, I couldn't see where they gave her the shot, but she said that was the first time she had had a shot there. She didn't cry or anything. Daddy said the needle was very big. I think I would have cried myself. But, my Mommy is a brave person! Plus, she had Daddy close by to help if needed. I do think Daddy closed his eyes though as the nurse gave the shot.

My Mommy also had to have a flu shot on Tuesday. This time, the needle was put into her arm and is supposed to keep her from getting the flu. Daddy had already had his shot a few weeks earlier, before I started blogging. I'm sure he would have loved for me to blog about his shot. I didn't tell you, but Daddy says he is allergic to shots and pain. I haven't been born yet, but he already sounds like a smart man to me!

On Wednesday, Daddy flew on an airplane to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Why would they name a city after the state like that? It's a little confusing if you ask me, and they are big words to spell too! He had some kind of meeting to go to on Wednesday and Thursday. But Mommy promised me he would be home late Thursday night--and he was! I decided to do a few flips inside my Mommy after he got home, I was so excited to have the old man back!

Mommy, Peanut, and I all slept better because Daddy was home. We don't like for him to be gone for too long. He helps to chase away the monsters and bad sounds that go bump in the night. Fortunately, Mommy shuts and locks all the doors when he is gone and tries really hard to keep Peanut and me safe and to keep us from worrying. She tries hard, but I don't think she really feels safe without my Daddy.

Okay, I've got to go back to school. You do know that I help my Mommy teach third grade, don't you? It is so much fun--even though those children don't always listen to Mommy and they make so much noise! I promise I'll never be like that! :)

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad! Thank you for being my very special parents!

Thanksgiving Vacation

Hello Everyone...

If vacations are this much fun before I am born, I can only imagine how fun they are going to be after I am born!

My parents took me to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, for a few days of rest and relaxation, and of course, some very good eating! Wow! We had a great time! I loved riding in the car--it really relaxes me and makes me sleep even more. My mommy said she is going to remember that after I am born. I'm not sure what she meant by that. Do you have any idea?

My parents did all the things parents like to do in Gatlinburg--they went shopping, walked through downtown, took in a show, and ate some good food. My mom especially liked the Thanksgiving turkey and dressing! She actually had that twice over the weekend. Me? I liked it okay, but I reminded mom that I'm still pretty much in control by giving her almost constant heartburn. I don't mean to be causing her a problem, but I'm running out of room in here! So, all I know to do is to kick and punch and squeeze out a little more room--thereby causing the heartburn. Sorry Mom! I love you!

As you can tell from the floating image on the righthand side of this page, I am growing! I can hardly wait to get here, wherever here is!

My Mom and Dad go to the doctor tomorrow. She's a nice lady--not too sure about the nurse though. She has a hard time finding me each month. How hard can it be? I'm right here!

I'll update you after my doctor's visit tomorrow. Please keep reading my blog!

My First Picture

Here I am at my first doctor's visit. I'm a little small here; I know that; but I've really grown since then. The doctor tells me I am now about 16 inches long and weigh between 3 1/2 and 4 lbs.

Hello World!

Hello Everyone!

My name is Evan. Well, that’s not quite true yet; because I haven’t been born yet. If the doctor knows her stuff, then I should be here on February 13, 2008.

My mommy and daddy tell me that my name will be Evan. I like that name. I hear them using it quite often as they talk about me kicking and moving and poking around inside my mommy. My daddy says I am looking for a way out. My mommy says she sure hopes not, because I’m not done yet—I’m not sure what that means, but I guess my mommy knows what she is talking about. After all, she’s done a good job of keeping me safe and warm in here for the past few months.

My parents have been very busy getting my room ready. I’m not sure why they are getting a room ready for me, I’d rather just sleep with them—that’s the only place I’ve slept before. And if it is good enough now, it should be good enough later. By my mommy and daddy are convinced that life would be far better if I had my own room. I wonder who life will be better for?

I do like my new room. It is filled with all kinds of baseball things—pictures and bats and bobbleheads and cars...just about everything you can think of that has baseballs on it! I like that! And I can hardly wait to play with it all—once I figure out how to climb up to that high shelf and get it all down. I’m sure I’ll find a way. Maybe Peanut, our dog, will help me!

I’m getting tired now and need to go back to sleep. I’ll type more as I get more “done” inside my mommy.

My Parent’s Little Angel,

Evan
