Diapers for Daddy!

Mike was surprised this past Wednesday with "Diapers for Daddy"!!

Friends and family dropped off diapers throughout the day to prepare him for diaper duty! HA!! It was a fun and exciting way to involve the Daddy-to-be.

He was totally shocked and had no clue what was going on!

He will need all of these diapers plus MANY more I'm sure....

It has kind of turned into a week long thing because he has continued to get a few more diaper deliveries the past few days!

It's so funny to see the look on his face each time he receives a package!

He is going to be one good Daddy!

This was the funniest gift of all! He was given this basket along with some diapers... inside the basket is a "Daddy's Tool Belt", loaded with febreeze, tongs, face mask, gloves, hand sanitizer, boogie wipes, baby powder...etc.! HA

Thank you to everyone who dropped diapers off!

28 Weeks!!

Today was our 28 week appointment. It was a big day filled with a glucose test, pre-registering for the hospital and an ultrasound. I had prepared myself for the dreaded orange drink and it honestly wasn't bad at all. I would compare it to a flat orange Slice.

Just hoping I pass so I don't have to sit there for the 3 hour test. Yikes!

Here is Little Miss Emily Ann's profile!

She has the sweetest little face and big puffy lips... all the better to kiss us with! HA

She was very active during the ultrasound... possibly because I had just drank a strong sugar drink but boy was she wiggling. That feeling never gets old.

She is head down which is right where we want her.

She is measuring a week ahead and weights 2 lbs 10 oz right now!

I'm just hoping that sweet little head has some hair on it! HA

Woo Pig Sooie

I love Razorback football!!

Today is the first game of the season and I will be calling the Hogs from home tonight.

We were suppose to go to the game but apparently my husband has lost his mind and gotten his priorities mixed up... he chose dove hunting instead! That's just sad!

GO HOGS!!!

Won't little Miss Emily Ann look so cute in this dress next football season?!

A local business made this one and I can't wait to order one!

Baby Book

I purchased Emily Ann's baby book!

It is SO stinking cute. I had been debating on which one to get.

This is the "The Pink Carriage Memory Baby Book" by Penny Laine.

I am eager to start filling it out.... Just hope I don't forget to take it to the hospital.

I am not only going to record everything in here but I am also making a scrapbook!

This is the family tree inside the book! I love the detail!

I can't believe I am 26 weeks pregnant!! Time is flying...

I will do my pregnancy post tonight. Stay tuned!

25 Weeks

25 weeks and moving right along!!

I continue to feel great and am loving EVERY minute of being pregnant!

I still wake up every day thinking it's all just a dream and then I look down and my belly and sweet Emily's kicks remind me it's a dream come true!!!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 25 Weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: up 15lbs

Maternity Clothes: I am wearing mostly maternity clothes now! I had to do a little shopping online because I no longer had much that fit.

Best Moment this week: Watching Mike assemble the crib and using my mommy-to-be pass to shop at Rhea Lana's for Emily Ann's clothes... found some cute stuff!

Gender: IT'S A GIRL!!! Emily Ann

Movement: She moves often, especially when I am sitting still or laying down! It's the best feeling EVER!

Food Craving: Fruit and veggies

What I miss: Sleeping through the night and sleeping on my belly!

Sleep: It's getting harder to sleep... thankfully I am able to cat nap throughout the day if needed!

What I am looking forward to: Lots....other furniture pieces to come in, bedding & canvases to get finished.... Seeing a finished nursery!!

Belly Button: It's popped and stretched.

Stretch Marks: None and I'm lathering the Coco Butter on to hopefully prevent!
Symptoms: occasional backaches

Resting & Nesting..

That's what's going on around here!.... A little resting and a lot of nesting.

The past 2 days I have worked on my closet and Mike's closet. Thank goodness it's finally done! I rearranged our fall and summer clothes and took the unwanted to a local consignment store. I should have taken a before and after picture but didn't get around to it. After assessing my closet I QUICKLY realized that I am in DESPERATE need of maternity clothes! I have 16 weeks left in this pregnancy if I make it to my due date of December 9th!

It is so hard to find anything right now in stores because we are in between seasons. Sadly there is not ONE store in our town that carries maternity! Can you believe that? So luckily I hit a sale online and got some CUTE stuff using gift cards I still had from Christmas! HA... Can't wait for them to come in!

Here are a few things I ordered..

This will be cute with a pair of leggings and a chunky necklace!

Oh and I did get Little Miss Emily Ann a cute dress for next fall!

She will look ADORABLE in this with some black leggings and a BIG bow!

I hope everyone had a great first day back to school! It felt so weird not going today...

I know I will NOT regret taking the year off when Emily gets here and am so THANKFUL I am able to do it.. So for now I will continue to REST and prepare for her arrival!
