He's Here!... Peter's Birthday

Peter Allen Reynders joined our family June 9th at 6:51 am. He came into this world at 7 pounds 14 ounces and 20 inches long. He is perfect in every way. We love him so much!

Still Waiting...

Here's a little sneak peak at our son's room. His name is not noodle, that's a little inside joke between David and I, but when we name him we plan to place his name in wooden blocks over his crib. We are getting more and more anxious for him to come. Our doctor had us thinking that he would be here by now, but we are still waiting. His due date is this coming Saturday, June 12th... but we are sure hoping he comes before then. We are anxious to meet our new son and start on our journey as parents.

Maternity Shoot

HELLO!

The post above are some pictures that Gwen Hawkins took for us, she had never done a maternity shoot before and wanted some practice, so we gladly allowed her to...

Well It has been a while since we last wrote... life has been busy! This week is finals week for both of us at Fresno State, so we are at the end! We can see the light, summer here we come! We are also getting very close to our son's due date :) We are now at 36 weeks and 3 days! This means only 3 weeks and 4 days to go! June 12th is right around the corner... and who knows, he could come early... We are excited for his arrival to our family. We are still preparing ourselves in every aspect. We feel so blessed to be able to be parents.

We are also anxiously awaiting the homecoming of Sister Kate Reynders! We can't wait to see her again and hang out with her every day till she leaves for school. She is great and we are exited for her to come home. Also, this means that Paige, Robert, Reagan, Annie, Adam, Ryan, and Natalie will all be visiting us in Fresno! We are going to have a blast next weekend!

The Baby Bump is Here!

David and I are getting more and more excited about our little boy on the way. We are now in the 26th week! Our boy is jumping and moving around all over the place, it is sure fun... David got to feel him from the outside for the first time one week ago today. He is getting bigger and stronger. It is so fun!

We had an ultrasound done on Friday and we actually got to see how big our son is getting. They did all the standard measurements; the circumference of the head, the abdomen, and then the length of the femur bone (the thigh bone). When she measured the femur, she was shocked at how long it was... she told us that our boy is going to be tall, then she looked over at us and said, "Well, I can see why. You were probably expecting him to be tall." Which I guess we were... We think it is so neat how advanced technology has become. She also showed us that he has a lot of meat on him. He already has chubby legs. We also got to see the four little chambers of our baby's heart beating and working together! This is definitely an exciting time!

School Is In Session

Hey everyone! School is in session! We are busy, busy, busy! Work, school, and church sure keep our minds and time occupied... It looks like this is going to be a tough semester for both of us. But it will also be fun!

Well, we are now in the 20th week and the baby is moving a little, it is fun to feel him move around. The belly is not too big yet, you can see a little baby bump, but mostly I just look fat! I am right on schedule as far as the recommended weight gain goes, but since I have such a long torso the baby can hide and spread out a little more.

We still have a lot to do to prepare for the baby... We have cleaned out our second bedroom for the baby. We organized the closet and put boxes away into our little storage closet outside. We are so excited, it is sometimes hard to concentrate on our school work!

We sure love all of ya ;)
