Ahh....smell the roses...

or the little yellow field of flowers.

I had to post this pic of Big brother to be,

Stogey Bones.

While my Brother and Leigh were in town we found the largest and most

beautiful field of yellow flowers. Stogey was frolicking at the speed of lightening through them.

It was so adorable. Poor guy--I made him stop to pose for this picture. :)

31 week preggo maternity dress designer....

Well, here I am at 31 weeks preggo. This is Kelley and Tommy's Wedding day

and such a blast. I had to create my dress b/c maternity formal wear is soooo ugly! Luckily it worked out well and matched the other bridesmaids. Swoooh-what a relief. I had not seen the other dresses before I created this one.

Getting closer....

Well, last week I was feeling some pains and went to the Dr. I found out that I was having very mild contractions and have dilated 1 cm. I did not expect to hear that! It appears that I could be at the stage for quite a while. I did get another ultrasound out of the whole deal so that was exciting. Baby girl is measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule at 4lbs 9 oz. Also, we found out that she has a head full of hair. Something I never expected to hear as I was a baldy. DJ stated that he can't wait to style her hair like Pebbles Flintstone. Well, we are counting down the weeks now and can't hardly wait to meet her. Talk to everyone soon!!!

PASSED!

Well, I had to go for round 2 in testing for Gestational Diabetes and found out today I passed. One less thing to worry about. Especially after finding out during the first call that I had failed a portion and would have to come back for more testing. Thank goodness they called back and stated there was a mix up w/my blood work in the lab. All is good now! Well, baby girl is moving like crazy these days and I'm loving every second of it. I can't wait to meet her and it is only about 9 weeks away if everything goes according to schedule. My bro is in town this weekend and I can't wait to spend it w/him. DJ will be home one night next week. A long awaited return. Life is good. Happy Mommies day to all the Mothers out there. Talk to ya soon!

Well, here it is--The big belly bump and growing!

28 weeks preggo and growing

I can feel baby girl kicking me all the time now.

I received my first blow to the ribs last Friday. What a bizarre feeling!

I'm definitely hitting the stage where I want everything done and ready for the Baby. Although, there is no time to get things done right now. May is so jam packed w/fun things to do every weekend. It looks like I won't have a free weekend until the end of June. I hope that is enough time to get the nursery done.

I'll try to take some better pics for the site, but I did not want to leave you guys hanging. Talk to everyone soon! Peace and Love.

Oh, the miracle of PRAYER!!!

THANKS TO EVERYONE'S PRAYERS--THEY HAVE BEEN ANSWERED. Baby Girl is well and her skull is forming as normal. The indentations are gone! All of my blood work came back fine and the Dr. stated that everything looks great!

It was great having Mom and Dad there with me for support and to share in the incredible video of her moving around in my belly. It is so friggin' cute! She had her arms stretched way above her head in touchdown motion and had her feet above her head. She could touch her nose to her knee (see photo). It is amazing how flexible they are.

Thanks again everyone-we love you.

ONE POUNDER....

Well, all the books state our lil' girl weighs about a pound now and let me tell you...She is strong!!! Today I had my hand resting on my stomach when all of the sudden it was pushed into the air. I could not believe how hard she had kicked. It is such an amazing feeling. I checked out the belly and I could actually see her pressing against it. So wild!
Oh, and at some point today while at work I split the rear of my pants! ha! I guess it is time to start wearing those stretchy pants. Everyone at work got a good laugh. This is all so funny.
P.S.
We have our follow up ultrasound on Tuesday. Hopefully, we will hear great news. I will post an update once we have one.
