What's New??

I am not sure what is new...not with us anyway... I am still big and pregnant and my due date is still 4 months away! AHHHH! But I can tell you whats old....
I have not been on top of things lately for some reason...it really only takes about 10 minutes to update this thing after the pics are loaded to the computer...they have been loaded for well over a week! LOL!

Branson...
After we found out we were having a little girl, we went to Branson for 5 days just to hang out, kinda our farewell trip before we are parents... It was cheap and close to home!
It was actually quite fun despite the rain! We went the week of labor day (I didn't realize it when I booked it) and apparently Branson closes down that week because every show we wanted to see was not showing that week! But thought I would share a few things...

We went to Ripley's Believe it or not and it was super cool!

This ship was made entirely of toothpicks!

The worlds tallest man at 8' 11"!!

This ship was carved entirely from Jade!

The worlds biggest ball of string!

We also got to go to the Price is Right! Yes, you read correctly! They have the Price is Right in Branson and it was awesome! We got our little name tags and anticipated the show! We did not get our name called but it was still super fun! They called four different people for each round, then there were three different people that got to spin the wheel and then there was the showcase showdown where there were two totally different people that got to bid on the same showcase...they both went over and neither won! The most anyone won for the night was $500 cash which was awesome! They had plinko, hole in one, punch game, cliffhanger, etc. It was neat...I recommend it!

Before we went in, no photography inside!

Bob's mom went with us and she won a drawing where she got to have her pic taken and got to spin the wheel for fun!

We got to eat at Joe's Crab Shack...it was crab cracking good!!

We were the King and Queen of Crabs! 

They had a car show at the mall and this was the only one they had on display that was really worth looking at it was a 1952 (I think) Studabaker...super cool!

Branson trip was nice and relaxing for us...it was nice to get Bob away from work for a few days even though it still stressed him out with phone calls but at least he was with me! :)

Razorbacks....

Football season is in full swing here in Hog country and it has been pretty uneventful! We are going on our 4th week and are already 1-2 for the season...
The first game we went to a tailgate at some friends to hang out and I took some fun pics!
This is the Hughes' house mascot Sooie! Sooie is a super cute boxer...

 Sooie really likes beer...they said she will drink it constantly...please do not try this at home!

Pic of Meghan, Brooke, Me and baby and Rob photo bombing in the back!

This is Rob being super sad that we were sucking so bad at the beginning of the game

We have had no Razorback fun since then because we haven't done much to celebrate for so far this season...hoping it picks up!

Baby update...finally ordered her furniture and bedding! Will be so glad to get it and start putting her room together! Next appt is next week for a checkup!

Bumpity Bump!

Update on how the baby is growing! I have overall been doing well...it has almost gotten to where it is now difficult to bend over and it feels like I have so much pressure under my rib cage where it is just uncomfortable! Blah! 19 more weeks to go...seems like forever!

Finally at the halfway point! Baby is the size of a small cantaloupe! 

19 week picture...baby was the size of an heirloom tomato. This is when we had the anatomy scan and she is measuring right on target! 

18 weeks! Baby was the size of a sweet potato! This was the week that I kinda popped! Bob was out of town this weekend and when he got home Sunday he was shocked at how big the baby was at this point! 

Week 17 baby was the size of an onion!

Seems like baby is starting to really grow fast! Glad to have the good report that everything is perfect so far with both of us! So ready for January to get here!

Baby update!

Have been so busy the last few weeks, I haven't got a chance to update the blog! So, I thought I would at least add the important things! Went to the doc on Wednesday to see our sweet little baby...it was so exciting!! It was amazing the things we got to see on this little machine! She checked the heart, lungs, brain, GI tract, blood flow, everything was perfect! Even those three little lines we got a peek of between our little GIRLS legs!! :) It was so sweet...she just just twisting and turning in there and I didn't feel a thing! Her little heart beat was 147 and she was weighing in at 11 oz and about 12 cm long. She was just adorable!

Sweet baby foot!

Seemed like her feet and hands were up around her head almost the whole time

Think I can catch a smile in this one...attempt at the 3D of the face. Again, wouldn't move her hands and feet!

Crossing her arms

Didn't get any pics on the CD of the little girl parts but its for sure! Bob keeps saying "but what if it comes out a boy?"... wishful thinking on his part! LOL! I think I have another ultrasound in a couple months so I am sure they will double check it then. The doctor said I have an anterior (front) placenta which means that the placenta is lying low on the cervix which means it could cause bleeding but normally it will correct itself before delivery and it will be nothing to worry about. This is also why I can't really feel baby and why I can't feel her at all from the outside. I was shocked when she was moving the ultrasound machine at the top of my stomach and getting great pics...I can feel the baby way down in my pelvis only so it was really weird but apparently that is where the placenta is which is why I cannot feel it up higher....hoping that thing moves out of the way soon because I am ready for daddy to feel her too! We are so blessed...cannot wait for January to get here!
Leaving for Branson tomorrow and I will update all the fun things we have been up to, including belly pics, when we get back!
