And look what came in today!

What a fun afternoon- diaper bag, flower clips, headbands, and leg warmers!

Favorites... and Not so Favorites

So today someone asked me what foods have been my favorite during this pregnancy... Made me start thinking about all of the 'odd' things that have been favorites and 'yuk' the past 7 1/2 months... let's see

Favorites:

-milk

-Cherrios with banana

-cucumber (Aunt Bonnie had it for Thanksgiving and I think I ate it all, since then I can't get enough of it)

- Coke Icees (my new Friday treat)

-toast

-pimento cheese (has to be Price's brand!)

-hummus! (homemade by Nana with candied jalepenos)

-hot dogs

-Whopper Jr. (with cheese)

Major Yuk

- too much meat (a few bites are ok, but then it makes me want to gag)

-anything really acidic

-so... I guess that I haven't been too picky!

29 weeks

Lauryn, Wow! You are growing! You are moving around more and more in my tummy. When I takes a bath, the water ripples when you move. It is crazy. My belly button is almost completely flat (not to mention kinda hairy!) so you are really growing fast now. You really like the music at church- you dance all around when the choir starts singing. I went to a craft show this weekend and bought you new bows. I met a woman who told me about leg warmers and a website where I could buy them. Of course, I came home and ordered you 10 pairs of leg warmers, 17 headbands, and 12 flowers. I still wonder if you will have hair??? Your room is almost complete. I love sitting on your rocking chair and reading you a book. Dad talks to you everynight and you jump all around. On a funny note.... one of my students asked me, "How did that baby get in there? (and pointed to my stomach) then he said "did you eat it?" I couldn't help but laught... kids say the darndest things. I am so proud of you my little miracle! Dad and I cannot wait to meet you!

Meet Little Lauryn

Touching my face!

Playing with my hands!

Look at my smile!

Maybe I will have more hair than my Mommy thought????

Today was so special. All of the grandparents joined us for Lauryn's 4D ultrasound. More than anything it was so special for Dustin and I to share this experience with our family! Of course as soon as the technician showed us her face, I started crying. But, without a doubt, I had difficulty stopping crying. This has been happening a lot lately! Must be those prego hormones making me cry even more than normal!!! Dustin talked to Lauryn and she moved a lot in response to his voice. What a moment! Grandma Sammie bought a bunny for Lauryn's room that plays her heartbeat and yes, that made me cry too! Such a special and fun time to see our little girl! Dad had them confirm that she is indeed FEMALE. And, YES without a doubt she is!!!!! Looks like more fun shopping lies ahead.....

27 weeks!

So... it's been a great week!

-Rocking chair for Lauryn's room has been recovered and looks great

-not so fun... first prego charley horses- yuk! Luckly they only lasted two nights and now I have been symptom free. Hopefully, they won't return!

-doctor's appointment- I love hearing Lauryn's heartbeat each time we go to see Dr. Hughes. I am borderline anemic so she gave me some supplemental iron pills to take. We have officially gained 13 pounds at this point. Dr. Hughes informed me that she will be out of town for a week (of course it happens to be my 39th week). She says she will monitor my progress closely and hopefully I won't deliver until she gets back on June 5th. Most first time babies come late, so hopefully Lauyrn won't suprise us with an early arrival or another doctor may have to deliver us. Praying this works out and Dr. Hughes can deliver us!
