12 weeks and counting!

Well I have officially hit the 3rd trimester and my can I say that this pregnancy has been COMPLETELY different than Cauy! I knew it was going to be different by I had no idea that it would be a complete 180-degree turn than last time. Westen is a mover & and shaker and is always on the go! I guess he gets that from his mommy. :)

Progress is being made at the Blevins' household with regard to getting all rooms and things in order. My Mom and Just Bob came over last night and "helped" me put the crib together. They really did all the work, I just kind of "supervised". I do have to say, I really like it much more than the picture from which I picked it out. I am very happy with the purchase and it is going to look great in the room. Now to get the rest of the furniture moved in and decorated and then pictures can be posted!

Cauy is loving his new room too and once I get the nursery done, I can then finish going through all of his toys and books and getting rid of things that will never get played with again or more things taken to storage. I have already gotten 2 boxes packed and stored and it honestly appears to not even put a dent in things. Thus the life of a spoiled Cauy boy! :)

A few facts about Westen to mark the start of my downhill slide toward meeting this little boy:

  • He weighs about 2 1/4 lbs and measures about 14.8 inches
  • He can blink his eyes which now have eye lashes
  • He has already put himself on a schedule, which is not too bad and one that I think we can live with. :)

Time to get back to work! Have a great day!

Wow - has it been that long since I updated?

I can't believe it has been since 2007 since I updated this Blog, but I guess now is as a good as time as ever to get back into the swing of things.

Cauy is now 6 years old! I know...I know...I can't believe it either. It just seems like yesterday he was a little tiny baby boy and now is has graduated Kindergarten and will start the 1st grade on August 13th! Here he is at 4 months old at Mrs. Marti's house and now Graduation Day on May 25th at almost 6 years old. *sniff sniff* They grow up WAY TOO FAST!


Also, Michael and I are happy to say that we are expecting our 2nd child due in September and Cauy cannot be happier to be a big brother!



Westen Matthew Blevins is due to arrive around September 20th and we are all very excited. I can probably say that Cauy is the most excited. He keeps asking me when "his" baby is going to be here. :) He is going to be an awesome big brother!


Here is Westen Matthew's first "official" picture. Look at that sweet button nose! :)


We are in the process of working on the nursery and getting Cauy moved to his new bedroom. The spare bedroom is all cleared out and just needs to be painted and all of Cauy's furniture moved to his new room. Then we can start getting the crib together and everything in order before Westen makes his arrival.

I will do my best to try to post pictures of the progression, but I can't promise anything! :)
