This past week I took pics of Doug just to have new pics (click on the pic to see more). My too cool husband has been awesome through all this. I'm sick again with something and once again I can't take anything. Doug is taking care of me,the peanut and our little doggie Bella. This is a big job with my stuffy nose, pregnancy cravings and just feeling yucky all together.
I am so blessed to be so loved.

Not the best pic in the world but you get the jist.
I can't believe we are getting close. This week the baby is supposed to be kicking more than ever as her surroundings get smaller..
Doug and I are still amazed at all of this.. God is good

30 weeks!!!

Every week I get several emails on baby development.
It's so fun to find out how she's doing & what she's doing.

We are in week 30 and she is now 3lbs and the size of a loaf of bread!!

doctor,doctor

So last week I had another Dr.'s visit. It was the one where they test for gestational diabetes. They also did just check up of the regular things too(blood pressure,baby heartbeat,weight-which by the way i've only gained 15lbs and i'm 7 months and change.)
I have a couple of girlfriends who were concerned about their test and even had to go back and a 3hr battery of blood tests. So I must say that I did get a little nervous.
But not to worry - I just got the results and passed with flying colors (92/11-i don't know what that means but I think it's good). Everybody is healthy and my Doctor continues to comment on how wonderful and uneventful my pregnancy is. I like it like that. So now we are seeing the Doc every 2 weeks instead of every 4-6weeks. That only means we are getting closer.

We (other staff & staff wives who are also pregnant & due all around the same time) are having a baby shower this weekend with our church staff family. They are going to pray over us and just show us how much they love us. I am excited to be with everyone.

Quote of the week

If pregnancy were a book they would cut the last two chapters.

~Nora Ephron, Heartburn, 1983



How true is that statement!! We are due in July and I am tired of all this. I did a wedding on Saturday and I have a month more of weddings. It is getting harder to keep going. I can hardly wait till our little girl is here. The baby is growing and moving and kicking even more.
We are starting to get to work on the nursery. We are trying to do something that is not the normal pink frou-frou room. And of course we'll have pictures when we are done.

Continue to pray for us. Last Sunday my Grandmother passed away. She reared 13 + children. She was an amazing woman and she single handedly made sure the family was always at peace. She was a minister and always helping someone else. My family went to Miami for the funeral.
I wasn't able to go which I am so sad about. So pray for our family for comfort and peace.

this has nothing to do with baby

here she is ..

We saw her

We finally saw are little girl with the help of a 4D sonogram.
The first look we got was of her smiling.
Both Grandmas were there and they were going absolutely nuts for Little Miss Peanut.
I will upload some pics later. Doug and I still can't see who she looks like but I guess we'll know soon enough. I am seven month along.

Quote of the Week

"Every time my mother became pregnant, [my father]...would announce to her that 'the glorious walks' must begin. These glorious walks consisted of him taking her to places of great beauty in the countryside and walking with her for about an hour each day so that she could absorb the splendor of the surroundings. His theory was that if the eye of a pregnant woman was constantly observing the beauty of nature, this beauty would somehow become transmitted to the mind of the unborn baby within her womb.... "
