So- first off, Happy leap day!! I love leap year:) But anyway- tomorrow is going to be so much fun. I am having a small shower at one of my mom's friends houses in Muscle Shoals. I am so excited. I am also a little nervous though and I'm not sure why. I guess because I have gained 25 lbs since any of these folks have seen me, and because I have been stuffed up in the house for so long. I can't seem to decide what to wear etc etc. But, I am still super SUPER excited. All day long today I have been in overdrive with the nesting thing. I have hung curtains, painted in the bathroom, and just bustled around like I had nothing else to do. I am sure this will be reflected when I take my final exam for PEDS on Sunday. I haven't read anything in two weeks, and everytime I sit down to try and review things my mind just goes nuts and I can't concentrate. My attention span is about 3 minutes I think, possibly shorter:) I daydream all day long and lets not forget eat all day l...

This was a day I will never forget! Me and mom had the most unforgettable day. When we went in for the u/s Aidyn wouldn't give us any shots AT ALL. I was so frustrated and thought that I might never get to see her little face until I saw it in person. But after much coaxing (aka a noise machine on my belly) she turned just slightly and we got some pics of her face. I can't explain the way this made me feel. They aren't the best 4d pictures I have seen, but they are of my little girl, floating around in my belly. It is such a surreal experience. Even in my wildest dreams when I was trying to get pregnant, I couldn't have imagined the feelings that I am having now. Life is so beautiful sometimes. It almost makes me teary eyed. I can't look at anything in the same way that I did before I began trying to conceive this miracle child! EVERYTHING is totally different. The way my priorities are,  how I appreciate my parents, and my Mamaw. Wow! I can't believe that ...

Oh well... yesterday this little wild gal in my belly would not cooperate with the ultrasound AT ALL. She hid her face very well for the entire 30 minutes. It was crazy. We did get to catch a glimpse of her hair- yes hair! She already has a lot of it. I thought that was funny. So no pics to post this time but we are going back in two weeks for a re-shoot. I will keep everyone posted

Wow, I can't believe we are at the thirty week mark. This has all flown by so fast! I know that it is only a couple more weeks and we are going to meet this little one and be her parents forever. I found out that she is 3 lbs and 17 inches long right now and she will gain over a lb this week alone. I can't believe how they put on weight right at the end- it is so fast. No wonder I am hungry:) I was just thinking about what a blessing this pregnancy has been for me. We tried so hard for so long to get to this point. I guess I am just hormonal as always. We are really getting close to having the house done as far as the remodeling goes, but I am not quite sure we will finish up before she gets here. If they let me carry her full term that is just 7-8 more weeks. I think that they will though because I have been feeling great. I know the nursery is totally ready! It is so pretty with all those girly colors. I have never loved pink so much. I can't wait to bring her home to he...
