25 weeks and counting...

Oh the joys of registering...again

Well here we are about 2 years later registering again.

I must say that I loved registering for wedding gifts but baby stuff is a different story. I am very grateful that friends and family are going to help us prepare for Wyatt's arrival but let me just fill you in.

The ins and outs of Wyatts registry...

First of all, how many bottles can they possibly come up with? I mean really. Every single one says "help reduce colic". Then you have you BPA free bottles, glass bottles, wide neck bottles, natural flow, fast feeders, slow flow, breast milk bottles, medical grade silicone, and I am already getting overwhelmed again. Really, have you ever heard a newborn specify which bottle they want? So how did I decide? I chose a really simple one...Dr. Brown's, help reduce colic, standard, BPA free, glass bottles! I know you just had to gasp for air. Glass bottles? Yes, I did, I chose glass bottles. I don't really have a perfectly good reason other than all of this plastic talk. You know, plastic causes cancer and I must have the best for my little man. I have faced reality and I am also registered for plastic for practical reasons such as football games and eating out and wherever I find myself toting this little guy around.

Car seats, strollers and travel systems, OH MY! Do you buy these a separate car seat and stroller or do you buy a combined set better known as a travel system? Do you buy the cute trendy one that is gender perfect or do you think ahead and get a non gender specific one? Don't worry Wyatt will be strolling around in the Chicco Cortina Keyfit 30 travel system, in red!

What are you thoughts on this product? This is the Summer Infant Soothing Spa and Shower.

This is babiesRus description:
"For parents wanting to give their baby the very best experience during bath time there's the Summer Infant Soothing Spa & Shower. Not only can you rinse your little one with clean, warm water with the motorized shower but your baby can experience their very own whirlpool bath. From birth and up the Summer Infant Soothing Spa & Shower has everything you need to bathe baby comfortably and safely."

Do you think Wyatt will one day feel neglected since I didn't choose to provide him with the ultimate spa treatment for bath time?

Then we get into the baby entertainment and little boy clothing. I am not even going to go there. Way to many decisions or lack there of! :)

After all the pro and conning, I think we have picked out some perfect stuff for a perfect little man! I can't wait to actually get to use my glass bottles and wheel him around in that Rebel stroller!

By the way, Zach was not along for this last registering trip. He would have never survived! My mom was even begging to leave!

Ole Miss vs. Southeastern Lousianna

Saturday was the first home game for our Rebels. Due to a daily flood for the last week, we decided we would grove at home and watch the UT vs. Florida game with our Memphis friends. We had a few tasty treats and enjoyed the game!

It was a great night for Ole Miss football as the rain held off and we were teased with the not so frequent breeze. The Rebels played on the new field which I might add is A-MAZING!

If you are not aware, every game start with a surprise "Are you ready" done by a movie start, athlete or someone that is special to Ole Miss. Enjoy week 1.

OVER IT!

So are you sick of the babycenter updates? I am kinda over them myself. So here is the King update!



We are at week 23 and have a lot going on! I finally decided on Wyatt's bedding and it is currently being made. Therefore I had to decide on a paint color. This brings me to a whole new can of worms. First of all what is the point of a color chart if when you paint it looks nothing like it. I mean, that kinda happened. Here is the truth. I wanted apple green. So Zach and I debated and debated and finally decided on the perfect green. After Zach purchased the perfect green I found a green I liked better. Well, there was no making changes at this point. My green was dull and I wanted bright. Oh well, I got over it. We primed the room and we painted. The more we painted the brighter it got! So it all worked out for the best. We have a bright apple green room. I know it sounds heinous but its cute and will look perfect! I can't imagine what I would be typing if I had bought the brighter green to start with, I might be in tears. I am withholding any pictures until the room is complete so you wont think I am a nut! The bed is on order and will be arriving within the next month! So hopefully before to long we will have a baby room that is ready to go...



Wait, have I told you the baby name? I don't think so. . .Wyatt Leeton. Clearly you get the Wyatt. Leeton is a family name on Zach's side. Isn't it the cutest name you have ever heard? :)



As for me and Wyatt: We are growing. And growing. It is amazing how pregnant I have become in just a few days. He is a wiggle worm at all times except when he is getting an ultrasound. He really likes to move at 6:00 in the am. That is perfectly fine with me on work days but on my rest days it would be nice if he would let me do just that...rest! Who am I kidding, I love feeling that little prince move around!



Oops, I forgot to post about my Dr. Appt last Tuesday. Zach and I went bright and early for an ultrasound to check the little mans heart out. We saw all four chambers and everything was just fine! What a blessing. He of course did not want to budge at all. Finally he moved just enough that the ultrasound tech could check him out. He weighs 1 lb and 3 oz. Yes, my friends, he is over weight! After she told Zach that bit of info she also informed him that before to long I will be gaining a half of a pound a week and he quickly did the math. "We are going to have a 10 lb baby," he calmly said. I on the other hand, very uncalmly said, "OH NO! We will be doing something before it gets to that point"! 10 lbs, I mean that is like delivering a 6 week old and that is not cool. We will see....My doctor took a look at everything and it all seems to be progressing right along.


Look for a belly picture later this week...

Ole Miss vs. Memphis

I do realize I am a week late. Hey, at this point I am doing good just to post.

Last Sunday we went to the Liberty Bowl Stadium for the final time as regular season Rebel fans. The day started out with a pep rally on Beale Street. It was really neat to see all the Ole Miss fans come together on historic Beale for some entertainment to get everyone fired up for a great season. It was a sunny and hot day as you can imagine.

We found ourselves on the Solberg's doorstep where we munched on some good Sonic cheddar Peppers, a few chicken tenders...okay 100 of them, and some other tasty snacks! After settling our hunger pains we started the trek to the stadium...HA! What a task for a pregnant chick in cute sandals.

Finally at the game we got comfy in our seats and were ready to cheer on our rebs! I was amazed at the people that we sporting "bust a nutt" tshirts and the classy fans Memphis fans we came across. After a rough start to Rebel football and the extremely hot conditions, I got a phone call from Rhonda. She was highly suggesting that I leave the game. It did not take much twisting my arm because I was kinda worried I might get dehydrated.

The Rebels pulled off a big win and I had a great chat with my favorite cousin! :)

I hate that next year the Tigers wont be able to try a new nutt cracker on our Rebels but all I can say is, Keep it classy Memphis!

22 weeks

I can not believe how fast time is flying as we prepare for Wyatt. We are staying pretty busy trying to get the fabric for baby bedding, registering while in Memphis and getting the room just right. Zach plans to start the painting process today.

From Baby Center:
At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.

We will keep you updated.

Its all about being a Rebel Nutt!!

Its football time in Oxford...

And, Its great to be a Rebel, finally! We have been through some tough times as Rebel fans the last 6 or so years. Maybe, just maybe, this is OUR year! The funny thing is several years ago when I knew I would marry Zach one day we had a very serious football talk. Zach is a die hard fan. On game day there is only one concern or thought process and it is OLE MISS FOOTBALL. So we were chatting about how this would play out in our marriage. I don't remember exactly how it ended other than me coming to the realization that I might as well just become as die hard as he is so we are both happy on game day. My last comment to him was very vivid. "Zach, one day I am going to plan to have a baby due on the biggest game of the year so you have to choose me over football". He laugh and said yeah right. Here we are several years down the road and expecting our first baby. No I did not plan this pregnancy around football but the Lord did. January 10th 2010 is when Baby King is due to make his grand entrance and the SEC Championship game is December 4, 2010. All the BCS bowl games will take place Jan. 1-7, 2010. If you are catching on, the Kings will not be able to attend any of these, to close to delivery...Oh the Lord works in mysterious ways Zach King! ***If in any of these games and in Labor expect to visit me in the delivery room watching its on the TV****


So with all that said, HOTTY TODDY to a winning year Rebs!

Oh, take a look at who all is in the top 20...where is good ol Auburn?
