Hello world...
36 weeks & counting!!!

Thursday night we watched the Jags and Indy play and that was such a great game!!! The Jags almost pulled out an upset and beat the undefeated Colts. How awesome would THAT have been!?!?!?!?!
We had another dr appointment on Friday for an ultrasound (BPP) and follow up with Dr. Brown. We hadn't met Dr. Brown yet, and he was the last dr in the practice that Dr. Lipsitz wanted us to visit with. Dr. Brown is actually the person that brought the dr's in this practice together. He seems very laid back and "old school" plus he's the only male doctor in the office, so I'm sure that adds to his mellow-ness. The BPP looked good and the little man is still measuring 8 for 8 (meaning that he's doing everything he should be doing - practice breathing, measuring just right, amniotic fluid is good, heart and lungs look good). He's around 7lbs 5oz right now, give or take a few ounces... He's a big boy that's for sure!! Yea - chubby baby!!!
At 36 weeks, the little guy is still packing on weight, about an ounce a day, give or take. He should weigh approximately 6lbs, is more than 18 1/2 inches long and is shedding most of the down hair covering his body. At the end of the 36th week, the baby is considered full term and is most likely in a head-down position. Still no problems with sleeping, or eating or getting around, but the ankles are starting to swell just a little and we're drinking LOTS of water!! Here's a pic of what he might look like at 36 weeks.


Dad, Mom & Cason (AKA Lil Duck)
Happy Thanksgiving!!!

(Auntie Carol was taking the picture!!)


After ICE! we walked over to the Opryland Hotel and walked for a while looking at all the spectacular lights. Waaaaaay too many to try to count!!! But it really puts you in the Christmas spirit to see them all. "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you goooooooo".... hehehe...... We left Opryland Hotel and drove to Longhorn for dinner and had a yummy meal, then headed home to get some rest... we were pooped from all of our activities of the day, but it was soooo worth it!! Fun exhaustion is the best!! =o)
Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, was awesome because the house smelled like FOOD all day long!! Gaga cooked a turkey and we had ham, green beans, sweet potatoes, mac-n-cheese, and rolls.... I know we had more, but I guess I'm still "turkey drunk" and can't remember... hahaha. Oh and pies - Apple and Pumpkin Pies.... YUM!! To say we ate like kings would be an understatement!! hahaha...
Friday morning (Black Friday) was NOT an early one in our house. We had planned to do a little shopping, but I wasn't going to be able to be one of those "at the stores at 3 am waiting in line" folks this year. I HAD to get some sleep after spending all day eating the day before! haha. Gamma, Auntie Carol and I did venture out later on though, probably around 1 or 2, and we were back by 5 (I think). We hit about 4 or 5 stores, but after being out in the crowds and traffic, it just takes too much out of you, energy-wise, so we decided to call it a day... We had gotten some pretty darn good bargains too, so it was a very productive trip! =o)
The rest of the weekend was spent watching LOTS of football, and finishing up the leftovers! What's so nice about the long Thanksgiving weekend is you have two days to eat and go-go-go, then you still have the actual weekend to lay around and be lazy and recover!!! Plus it helps to have a houseful to help clean out the fridge!! hehe.
Monday the 30th we had to head back to work (boo!) and Gamma, Gaga, Auntie Carol and Oakley had to head home. We were sad to see them go because we love having them come visit. Maybe sometime soon we'll have more comfortable furniture that doesn't swallow each person when they sit down on it!! hahaha. Gamma needed just as much help getting up off the couch and I did!! haha. Plus it was so nice to have Oakley there - there's nothing like Puppy Lovin'!!

By Week 35, he's running out of room in there!!! Rolling around and moving is getting a little more difficult for him. He should be tipping the scales at around 5 1/4 lbs ( the size of a honeydew melon) and a little over 18 inches. He's kicking up a storm, but the somersaults aren't as frequent because the space is limited. His kidneys are fully developed now and his liver can process some waste products. Most of his basic physical development is now complete!! Now we just wait, pray and wonder!! This is a likeness of what he might look like at 35 weeks. 
Time is getting short.... He'll be here before we know it!! God is Great and we can't thank HIM enough for the wonderful opportunity to be parents. Not a day goes by that I'm not reminded of how great He is and how blessed WE are!!!
Until next time.... Love, love, love,
Cason's on his way....










We are so blessed, and are overwhelmed at times with the love that everyone has shown and the support that everyone has given us!! We are truly lucky to have so many wonderful people in our lives!! Thank you so much.
Be sure to check back soon... we're getting close to our special day and can't wait for the holidays!!
Love, love, love,
Mommy
We've got a name...
This is Dad here, I know ya'll haven't heard from me in a while so I thought I'd take the time to announce the GRAND NAMING!
After much debating we are 99% sure that we have agreed on his name. Just in case he gets here and doesn't look like a Cason OR a Scott, being his parents, we reserve the right to change that at BIRTH!
About 2 months ago Mom, BEING MOM, was worrying a little about the fact that we didn't have a name for him yet. We were throwing names out left and right and nothing seemed to jump out at us. One morning while driving in to work I was having my morning "think time" just thinking about names and trying to come up with something that you didn't see on the top 100 most commonly used names. We had talked the night before about some names and I think she was starting to get ME frustrated with the fact we didn't have a name for him either. We were listening to the radio and I heard a couple of names that we had thought about but they were on the "TOP 100". I have no idea where it came from, but I just looked at her and said, "what do you think about Cason". Not really expecting the reaction I got, she looked at me and said "I LOVE IT!" You could tell it was one that had the WOW factor that we were looking for when we heard it, but I don't think either of us were ready to officially name him that just yet. The more and more we talked about names we kept coming back to Cason and using that as a first name trying to come up with a middle name. When someone would ask if we had a name picked out we kept telling them we think we are gonna use Cason just don't have a middle name yet. The more we said that it became evident that was going to be his first name. NOW on to the middle name.
When Missy and I started talking about having children I used to think I wanted a Jr. and we would just call him DJ. After talking to a few friends who are Jr's they steered me away from it asking us to give the little guy his own identity. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be to give up the DJ name. Besides, we have some friends who already have a DJ and he's one of a kind for sure [shouting out to ya Wayne and Rhonda]! With the middle name there were MANY MORE that we liked and it seemed like they all had the wow factor. Some of the girls that Missy works with asked "what's Donald's middle name", when she told them Scott, I think they gave our Son his middle name at that time. A buddy of mine at work, Stanley (who is one of the Jr's that warned me about having a Jr.) also suggested using that name.
Missy started testing the full name out by going into his room and saying "CASON SCOTT you need to clean your room up now!" The first time I heard her do that we looked at each other and realized we have named our Son. SO, there you have it! Cason Scott Knight should be here no later than January 5th, 2010.
I want to take this time and thank everyone in our lives who have blessed us with shower gifts, but most of all for the thoughts and prayers that we know you all are sending our way. I think everyone knows how truly lucky and blessed we are to be given the gift of a child, and it means the world to both Missy and I that you all are so wonderful and thoughtful. I am having a hard time expressing in words just how much I appreciate everyone in our lives!
Bye for now! I think Mom will be updating everyone on last weeks events as soon as she can!
Hello World!
Cason Scott Knight has arrived!!
