Shower and Updates...

Twenty-nine weeks tomorrow and Sophie is sure getting restless in there. [Or maybe that's just when I'm trying to sleep] Any who - Just weighed in at 126.4 so pretty steady from last post and my belly is now 34 1/2 inches BIG. So we're still s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g!! New craving this month...ROOT-BEER!

Here's a tummy picture Mike took late last week.


Many, many thanks are certainly sent out to all our friends and family for a wonderful shower given to us in Midland last weekend, November 8th. We received so many wonderful and useful gifts and really enjoyed catching up with everyone, more importantly.

Check out our cute and DELICIOUS cake...


Lots of love to all!! Have a great week!

Lovely Day...

If you read my last entry on Tuesday you'll know that I had my ever-so-fun glucose test yesterday. Boy, was that a dreadful morning!! I am petrified of needles so the nurse laid me down to draw the first round from my scrawny arm. I then had to drink pure orange sugar water, wait an entire hour then get stabbed again. [yes, "stabbed" which was an experience all on its own] All the while not being able to eat a darn thing until the screening was over! Gee whiz! You'll all be relieved to know that I made it through, nonetheless! I know, I know...I'm a total weenie, just ask Mike ;)

Sophie's heart-rate increased this visit to 153bpm which is still in the normal range. My weight, honestly, fluctuates during the day but this afternoon I was right at 127lbs and my watermelon tummy is now at 34 1/4 inches, which is well noticeable!! We start to visit the Doc every two weeks now and Dr. Lawrence informed me, again, yesterday that he thinks she will arrive in January rather than early February. So Jen...you might get your birthday wish afterall!

Speaking of Jen...I'm not sure everyone is aware but a **CONGRATULATIONS** are definitely in order to my future brother-in-law for popping the infamous question to the greatest girl in the world...My Sister! Happy Engagement and Congrats to you both!! We love you!!

Hope everyone has a super fabulous weekend! GO RED RAIDERS!!

Lots to fill in...

Today marks week 27 and I still can't believe we are already at this point. Sophie has been moving around more than ever although, I'm the only one that can feel her most days. She has this "sense" when someone puts their hand to my belly so she stops moving...figures!

Sophie received her first pair of shoes a few weeks ago from the ever so sweet Grandma Becky in North Carolina...



She's already received so many gifts from family that I can hardly keep up! Grumps made sure she had her very first Raggedy Ann doll. Nanny made her a beautiful white knit blanket and Mom has contributed to her book collection, among many other things! Our little girl is so spoiled, I can only imagine how life will be with her here.

Doctor appointment tomorrow for the infamous glucose testing...which I hear is so much fun! I'll be sure to weigh in and measure up tomorrow so everyone can see where we're at! Then our very first baby shower on Saturday with all the Midland family. We're so excited and can't wait to see everyone!

Lots of love to everyone reading. Happy Tuesday!!
