Fingerpainting and More
First, I told you all that my "belly" didn't look it's true size in the last pic so I took another today. It's only a few days later and you can tell the difference thanks to the shirt.
Second, Hannah finger painted what will end up as Valentine's Cards for a playgroup we're attending tomorrow. She really enjoyed herself. Check it out:
The final result:
Until next time...

Week 27: Nervous & Excited All Together!
Okay.... some of my out of town friends and family have been curious to see my belly and it's been a while since I've shown it. ;) Here it is... 22lbs later. Whoa. These pics were taken at 27 weeks, 4 days. I think this shirt actually makes me look a little smaller than I am, maybe you'd argue differently? :)
So by God's grace, my OB visit went well again this month. As I mentioned earlier, I've gained 22lbs which is right on target for where they want me. I have to keep in mind that I have a habit of starting my pregnancies underweight (I was 122 & 5'6"). At this point in time with my pregnancy with Hannah, my measurements started being on the low side. I was excited to hear that I'm measuring right at 27 weeks. Whew. I am scheduled for another ultrasound in early March just to double check since I had the weight gain issues with Hannah. My BP was 100/50 (much more like my pre-preg BP). I drank the nasty glucose drink and had my blood drawn for the gest. diabetes test. If anything is abnormal, I should receive a phone call from the office by Monday. So it was kind of a long visit, thanks to the one hour test but uneventful, which are good in my opinion!
I titled this post, "nervous & excited all together," because that's exactly what I'm feeling right now. I'm so excited about having another child to love and learning the in's and out's of having a little boy. I'm nervous about how Hannah will respond and our lack of sleep already having a toddler to look after. I'm excited about holding our child for the first time and introducing him to his big sister. I'm nervous about the uncertainties of labor and delivery. I'm excited that I'm due in less than three months and yet I'm nervous as all get out that I'm due in less than three months! This week I've been hit with the reality that less than three months is NOT that far away! Yeah... so that's how I'm feeling right now. ;)
We got to spend some time with friends of ours from Tennessee (the Burkeen's) this weekend. That was nice and relaxing since we haven't seen them since last May. It's amazing how big kids get over 8 months (referring to Tug & Kailey).
I guess that's it for now. Until next time...

Week 23 - Definitely a Boy
This past week was interesting. It started off on the calmer side with the continued productivity of my last post. By the weekend, with two jewelry shows and a Pampered Chef show, it was crazy busy!
Thursday, we had another ultrasound to check the baby's heart since they couldn't see it in the last one. By God's grace, everything looked and sounded great. At one point, the ultrasound tech said, "Yep. He's definitely a boy." I looked up to see a very clear little boy part on the screen. Yep. He's sure is. ;) I asked her about how big he was considering Hannah has always measured fairly small, even in the womb. After a few measurements, she told me that it appeared he would take after my family's genes with his size. He was just over 50% percentile (over all) and approximately 12 inches long. That seemed incredibly big to me but I guess it makes sense since he's all balled up and folded over like a little sandwich. ;) SO... we'll see! It does make me a little more nervous about the delivery part though. Hannah was only 5lbs, 9oz at 38 weeks gestation. I can't imagine a big baby after her! I'm praying for God's grace when the day arrives!
The last four or five days have left me a bit more tired than usual. All that energy I spoke about in my last pregnancy post has definitely waned. I don't feel like I'm getting sick again so I'm not sure what it could be. Maybe it's just the fact that I'm nearing my third trimester. Speaking of sickness, the Lord has been gracious is finally healing us all! As of this moment, no one in the house is on any medications (other than vitamins) or having any sick symptoms. Oh I pray that continues! I've actually been trying harder to increase our immune systems with the foods we're eating and such.
You all can pray for our family this weekend. I will be attending a conference for my jewelry business in Atlanta. I'll leave Thursday and be home late Saturday night. James will be with Hannah by himself those days! Pray the Lord leads us all!
Lastly, I want to point you to some AWESOME pictures my friend Jessie Minnery took of our family. She was doing this in the midst of 4 busy kids and a not very cooperative Hannah so I was pretty impressed. Also, the lighting in our house at this hour wasn't superb. Regardless, she's very talented. Click the link below to see the pics:
