3-D Ultrasound

Today I had my 32 weeks Dr. visit...all went well and everything is right on track. After the Dr. appointment we had an appointment to get a 3-D ultrasound done to see what our little girl looks like. I was a little worried that she might not cooperate but she did great! Although most of the time she kept her hands in front of her face we were still able to get a few peeks. She definitely loves to suck her thumb already....we caught her several times with her thumb in her mouth just sucking away! It was too cute! Looks like she's going to be a chunk....she's weighing about 5 pounds give or take a few ounces and you can see she's got some chunky cheeks going on. I just can't wait to kiss those fat cheeks! Hope you enjoy the pics! Have a great weekend!






She's thinking really hard on this one with her hand on her forehead : )

Blessed

Ryan and I are truly blessed to have so many friends and family that love us and care for us. I was humbled and absolutely amazed at everyone's generosity who came to the baby shower on Sunday that was given for us. We received more gifts than any one little girl could ever need! I will say that she'll definitely be the BEST dressed gal in TN, that's for sure! Melissa, Aunt Cathy, Aunt Connie, Aunt Bonnie and Granny Guthrie all hosted it for us and they did a fabulous job! Thanks for everything...you all are the BEST!

Melissa made the cutest diaper cake!

The cake was patterned after my nursery bedding.

It turned out so good and was delicious!

Ryan came to pick up all of the gifts so we could get on the road.

Isn't he too cute! : )

I think we finally got home around 11:00 pm Sunday night. We were both so tired and just ready to be home. Ryan drove the whole way which I really appreciated! What can I say...he's the best!

This is what the nursery looked like after unloading all of the gifts from the truck. There was hardly any room to walk around! I had fun sorting through all of the goodies and getting things organized...now all we need is a little girl! I know she'll be here before we know it! Only 9 weeks to go!

Weekend in Valdosta

Last Thursday afternoon I had my 30 week Dr. appointment. It went well and everything seems to be right on track. We're going back every 2 weeks now so we'll go back again next Friday. I can't believe we've just got a few more weeks left! After we finished up at the dr's office we got on the road and headed to Valdosta for the weekend. Friday morning Ryan was itching to get to the pond so he fished for most of the morning while me and Melissa shopped some. Friday night I went to Lindsay and Willis' wedding which was absoluetly beautiful! It was good to see lots of people I that haven't seen in a long time and get to catch up. Ryan decided to hang out with John instead of going to the wedding, who knows what they got in to!

Saturday I spent the day with mom and we did some more shopping and looked for some baby things. I always enjoy getting to spend time with her especially since we live so far apart! We got together with family and friends at a cookout Saturday afternoon in honor of Janey. I can't believe it's already been a year since she was with us. What a special little girl that touched so many lives in her short time. We love you Janey and can't wait to see you again someday!! Uncle Jim and John made a slip and slide for the kiddos which they absolutely loved! Shephard and Kayden couldn't get enough of it!

Below are some pictures of our fun times!!

Kayden and Shephard waiting to go!

This picture was too funny not to post....Ryan keeping the tarp wet. I believe he's holding the water hose...at least I hope so!

Weekend with the Girls!

Friday I worked half a day and then hit the road for a weekend with the girls in Searcy. One of my roommates from Harding is getting married so we had a lingerie shower for her and I figured it would be the last time I would be able to see them before our baby girl comes. It was so good to see them all and get to catch up. They are so much fun and most of the time we just sit around and laugh. God has truly blessed my life with them and I could not thank Him enough for the friendships that we share. They all surprised me and had a laundry basket full of baby things which was much appreciated! I couldn't even begin to list everything because there was so many goodies! Thanks guys! You're the best!

Not only did I get to see great friends but some of my favorite family too! Ashley treated me and Terri to Chili's on Friday night...what a sweet brother! And Terri was gracious to let me stay with her all weekend and as usual I enjoyed the visit.


While I was off for the weekend Ryan stayed here and worked on the nursery. My in-laws Steve and Patsy picked up our baby furniture Friday afternoon and delivered it to the house. They stayed Friday night and Steve helped Ryan on Saturday put the white wainscoting and trim around the bottom of the nursery then they put the furniture together and got the room all set up. Needless to say I was surprised when I got home last night to find a nursery!! Now all we need is a little girl!! I've still got some decorating to do but when I get it done then I'll put some pictures up.
