Yep, so the day is quickly approaching when we will get to meet our son. This week it got really real, really quick. We had our hospital tour last week, childbirth class twice this week and our last ultrasound on Thursday. Everything looked great on the ultrasound and the major news it that at 36 weeks, he weighed close to 7 pounds... Yep, pretty big boy apparently. Could he be headed to the Big House to play for Michigan instead of catching for the Baltimore Orioles??? Only time will tell, either one will be OK though. I have already practiced announcing his name, number and position though. Both career paths sound pretty good.
I really can't describe the feeling of looking at a tv screen and seeing Brady moving inside of Carly's stomach. We found out that he really likes to hear his own heartbeat too... I have so many emotions going through my head right now. The main one is excited though. Scared is also in there but I'm thinking that particular emotion is always in a first time parent's mind. I just can't wait till he's here. Maybe it will be sooner than we first thought too!

So I don't forget...
Small, funny story for everyone...
On Friday when I first got to school, I saw one of my students (now in 9th grade and about 6 foot 4) that I taught my first year down here. I shook his hand and talked about dumb stuff. He's a wide receiver on his high school team. It's pretty awesome to keep up with different kids that I have taught in the past. Anyway, when I got down to my office I couldn't stop thinking that something just didn't seem right about our conversation. For about 5 minutes, I couldn't figure it out. Then out of nowhere, it hit me. I immediately got up from my desk and went to the front to see if he was still sitting there, he was and here's where the fun began...
I asked him where he got his sweatshirt. It was the first one of its kind that I have EVER see anyone wear in Houston, Texas. This is because it said FROSTBURG STATE UNIVERSITY on it. Yep, that Frostburg. (The one in the mountains of Western Maryland. The one where I played baseball. The one where I met my wife. The one were it snows 9 months a year!) He looked at me puzzled for about 5 seconds and then he knew that I had him. This kid was actually wearing a Frostburg State University sweatshirt, with camo lettering, in front of me, back to the place where he had originally stolen it 5 years ago, FROM ME and I caught him. His reply to me was, "My uncle gave it to me." That's when I decided to have a little fun. The following is an exact transcript to our conversation, well close:
-How did your uncle get it?
-I'm not sure...
-It weird cause that's where I went to college!
-Really???
-Yes. I played baseball there.
-Cool.
-Do you know where Frostburg is?
-No, where?
-Maryland.
-Oh.
-I'm from Maryland.
-Cool.
-I met my wife there.
-Wow. Is it cold there? (smiles)
-Yes it is (straight face... no smiling)
-Cool.
-Well, it's just weird cause there's not many people that live here that went to Frostburg. Two of them live in my house! (3 if you count Camden)
-Yeah.
-Well, you have a nice day man. I really like your hoodie.
-Thanks Mr. Baugher.
I was blown away by this exchange. By the look of the sweatshirt, I'm surprised I didn't catch him sooner. It appeared as if he only took it off one day a week to be washed. As a parent, when your child brings home a piece of clothing that's not theirs, wouldn't you say something?
Friday morning was hilarious.
Big game today in Baltimore. I know a LOT of Ravens fans so, take it easy on us today and Go Texans!

This year is going to be GREAT
Yep, it's 2012. 2011 was pretty good to the Baugher family however, 2012 is going to be pretty special. In just over a month, Carly and I will welcome someone new into the family. We can not wait for him to get here! Not that I know for sure, but I think we're as ready as we can be for him! I'm sure other great stuff will happen this year too, but for now, I can't get baby off my mind.
What has happened since I was on here last, a lot! Let's see if I can highlight some of what has been going on...
Well, I got a gun safe (Merry Christmas)
We got a new car (Merry Christmas, thanks new baby)
We drove to MD (Merry Christmas, LONG DRIVE)
I dropped a cupcake in the new car (Almost got thrown out of the moving car by my wife)
Went to Frederick first
Had a great week in Frederick with the Baughers
Went to Owings
Had a great week in Owings with the McDonalds
Drove from MD to Swamp People town in a day (Ate Taco Bell on New Years Eve and were asleep by 9:30 in the hotel room)
Made it back to Houston on Sunday afternoon
Neighbors gave us some Holiday Dark Choclate
Camden ate whole bag of dark choclate
Went to the animal ER, Camden is fine
Camden ate his memory foam bed (Really???)
Went back to work and counting down the days till spring break already
So as you can see, Holidays = Busy time for us. So thankful for the time spent with our families and so glad we got to see so many friends. As always, there is never enough time. I'll leave you with a few pics. Have a great 2012 folks!

holiday time
Just wanted to do a quick little post before we're outta MD and back to reality. Another post will come with a bunch of stuff that we did over the holiday soon, that said, it was so great seeing the people that we have been able to see and getting to spend so much quality time with our families! We miss and love them so much. It's strange to think that the next time we're in MD, we will have a son! I am so excited to be a father and so excited to be parents with (I'm bias) the best soon-to-be mother in the world. So much is going to change in 2012. Bring it on, I'm ready for the ride of my life.

THUNDERSTORMS
It has taken me a couple days to feel as if I can write about this. I think I'm ready now...
On Sunday night, Carly and I did some work in Brady's room (pictures to follow soon and it is AWESOME), watched Homeland and went to bed. Per my usual, after about 3 or 4 minutes (during Dexter even), I was asleep. Then out of nowhere, around 2:00 in the morning I was woken up. I saw a 41 pound beagle lab standing on my head. He was literally doing this. Front legs on the right of my head, back legs on the left of my head. He immediately started licking me and for me to say that he had morning breath would be an enormous understatement. I was so confused as to what in the hell Camden was doing, then I got it. I heard thunder outside and heard the rain hitting the window. Camden was scared of the thunderstorm. He has always hated thunderstorms but apparently he got soft due to the lack of rain in Houston this summer. He was a wreck. I was pissed. How dare he wake me from my deep sleep on my Target memory foam pillow! Then I laughed because it was kinda funny looking at him shaking and panting because of the storm. I suppose I better get used to the 2:00 am wake up calls with a little boy on the way. Maybe I can convince Carly to take those, I'll take the 5:00 am ones...

The day of giving thanks
Today is Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Today instead of fixing or own meal, Carly and I went to Brittany's grandma's house. We are so grateful that Brit's family allowed us to hang out with them today for Thanksgiving. The food was flat out amazing and I'm 100% sure that I gained around 8 or 9 pounds today. Carly and I are so lucky to have such great friends. It can be hard around that Holidays without our family close by. That said, I truly feel as if we are welcomed in a lot of places down here as if we were family. Maybe third or fourth cousins but still family. Long story short, Carly and I are very LUCKY.
OK, so Carly made crab dip today to bring a little "Maryland" to the Texas Thanksgiving feast... That wasn't good. Well, it tasted good. It wasn't good because of how much of it I ate after we got home. I kinda feel as if I keep getting pinched in my stomach by the 3 or 4 crabs that are crawling around in there. I miss Maryland Crabs.
Rewind to yesterday, I went hunting again. I was unsuccessful again. Sitting in your treestand for 9 hours makes for a LONG day when you see 6 squirrels all day long. At around 3:00, I looked through my scope at a bush because I swear it was moving. I knew it wasn't honestly, I just wanted it to be a deer. I did however catch a bass at the cabin during lunch. Yippee!
Tomorrow is only FRIDAY. This is great news. This means that we still got a 3 day weekend left! I will NOT be going shopping tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to buy everything online again this year like I did last year. If I can't, sorry people. You ain't getting nothing for Christmas...
Oh yeah, we are in the 3rd trimester of Baby Baugher's life. Carly is still feeling pretty good I think. It's getting a little harder for her to get comfortable but all things considered, she's rolling right along. She's kinda kickin this pregnancy things butt. I can really feel him moving a lot too now! It's a pretty amazing feeling. Pretty amazing is somewhat scary though when Carly yells "Ouch!" cause he's kicking her in the ribs. I'm thinking about letting her kick me every time the baby kicks her but there's no way for my to know if she's telling me the truth or not. Plus I'd cry cause I'm kinda a wuss...
Saturday is the day that we've all waited for for a year. It's the day that Michigan plays Ohio State. I really can't believe that it's been 7 years since we beat Ohio State last. Good Lord, I was 21. I definitely had less gray hair and I was probably around 250 pounds lighter (OK 185 pounds). I blame all 7 years on Rich Rodriguez even though he was only there 3 years. Good luck at Arizona you big butt head. I'll put a victory dance on here on Saturday night HOPEFULLY. Till then Happy Thanksgiving, Go Blue and God Bless America.
