Cankles For Sale

Real cheap. Buy one get one free.

For some odd reason, elevating my feet is not helping my cankle situation. I think now is the time to invest in that Rascal I've been eyeing....

Little bookworm

Reagan's Uncle and Aunt, Scotty and B, and cousins, Jack and Evie, gave us a beautiful Dollhouse bookcase for Reagan!

It is my hope that Reagan will share the same love for reading that I have and I hope to overflow her bookcase with so many fun and interesting books! Here is just a start!

Reagan is feeling the LOVE!

On Sunday, Reagan and I were treated to a beautiful shower hosted by Andy's mom's BFF's~ the Yahtzee girls!

What a perfect day for a shower! The weather cooperated and we were served a delicious lunch poolside. Then the gift opening began and let's just say, Reagan was very spoiled! My mom even joked- instead of a feeding schedule, Reagan will be on a wardrobe schedule!

We are so amazingly blessed to have so many gracious friends and family to help us welcome Lil P! We couldn't have asked for anything more!

Exhausted but happy!

34 Weeks, 2 days and counting...

Today Lil P is measuring 34 weeks, 2 days and counting... our deadline is getting closer!

I had a foll0w-up Dr. appt. yesterday and all looks healthy! My blood pressure is good, weight is okay, baby looks healthy and had a great heart rate. I am going for a follow-up ultrasound the week after next so that my Dr. can compare from my previous one.

If Lil P is measuring big, I'm sure they'll just monitor me and baby every week in October- my Dr. said possible c-section for the end of October? At this point, I'm putting faith in my Dr. to make the right medical decisions for us and praying every day that we are on the right path and doing exactly what we should be.

My Dr. was also happy to hear that I was headed on vacation next week- splendid! So here's to relaxing by the lake with a good book and a virgin pina colada!

Here is my 34 week belly pic:

See you in a couple weeks! xo

The end of an era...

How many of us wished we could be 'baby' so many years ago?

33 Weeks, 2 days and counting...

Today, Lil P is measuring 33 weeks, 2 days and counting... hard to imagine I only have a few weeks left to title my posts this way!

Last night I must have had a nesting instinct kick in- I took off all the tags on the 0-3 months clothes, blankets, burp rags and bibs and did 3 loads of baby laundry. It was surreal to see tiny baby socks in the washer! But felt good to get her clothes washed and put away.

Andy and I have our 2nd baby class tonight. I have to admit, I didn't really learn all that much in the first class so hoping this one is more informative. I basically just need to know 2 things: when do the drugs come and when do the drugs come?! Just kidding... I also need to know if I get a steak dinner after I deliver. Ha! Seriously though, I'm a little scared for the videos- but I also know that knowledge is power. And I'm ready for the power to get through labor and delivery!

Here is my 33 week belly shot, definitely growing~

Until next week! xo

September 11th~ May We Never Forget

God bless America, land that I love...

God bless those who fight for our lives and our freedoms, every single day without asking for our thanks. Remember when almost every household displayed the flag after 9/11? I would love to see that again. May we never forget...
