4D sonogram....

Well we finally got to go to our 4d sonogram today. However the machine was broken so they were unable to burn copies of the CDs/DVDs. They did let us take a peek at her and they printed some pictures but it wasn't for the full hour session and the pics were not so great to me. The up side was we didn't have to pay!!!! So we got to peek at her for free;). They said we could come back when the machine is fixed next week so we may do that. We will see.....

This one is one of the better ones in my opinion. As you can see her mouth is open and if you look real close you can see the peach fuzz hair on her head!!!

Here she has her hands over her face....as always.

This one we were having trouble getting her since she insisted on hiding behind the umbilical cord

This one she is still hiding

And yet again with the hiding......this girl is going to be the child who hides under the clothes rack at Wal-Mart

And I am pleased to announce she is HEAD DOWN.....(as of now) so yay for that!!!! They said they will tell me how big they expect her to be at my next sonogram which will be at 32 weeks.


Until Next time.......

26 Weeks Down and 14 more to go...

Well technically (since I am a week late posting this update) I am actually 27 weeks with 13 weeks to go but who's counting..;)

At 26 weeks M weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches.
(About the length of an English Hothouse cucumber)

How Far Along: 26 weeks

Weight Gain: 20lbs. This is actually up for debate. Apparently I have miscalculated somewhere because I was thinking I had gained more in total than the doctor had in my chart so we will go with her figures :)....

Maternity Clothes: Yes. But I can still wear some of my regular clothes with the bella band .

Stretch Marks: Not yet but I am still lathering up with Mother's Friend and coco butter

Morning Sickness: It seems to have passed

Sleep: Pretty good. I have eased up on the amount of times I have to get up at night and have acquired a pillow to support the baby bump. I am also sleeping propped up to help combat the intense burning in my chest (which I hope is acid reflux and not a heart attack)
Baby Movement: Yes but she hides when other people touch my belly. No one other then Justin and myself can seem to feel her.

Food Cravings: Nothing come to mind at the moment.

What I Miss: Feeling like me. I forget what it is like to be me with out being out of breath, having back pains, heart burn and all the other ailments that come with the territory.

Looking forward To: Christmas, Baby Showers and getting everything in her room and organized;)

Milestones: Baby girl's ears are better developed and more sensitive than before. She may now be able to hear both Justin and my voices as we talk with each other.

You may have noticed this post is missing a baby bump pic too....Man I suck at that. I have got to try harder to document my hugeness.


Until Next Time.....

My little craft

Last week Justin was gone two days and nights to training in north Alabama so I did this little craft to stay busy...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



They were supposed to be more topsy turvy but instead they a little more like the wind is blowing them to the left. Lean or no lean I was still pleased with the outcome!!!

Finally Finished!! (Or at least for now)

We are officially calling the nursery complete... (well for now). I still feel like it is missing something and I am not sure if it is girly enough so I may find something else to add. But for now......

These are Madilyn's bow holders that I made (Thank you Pintrest)

This is her wreath that I also made. It will hang on the hospital door when she arrives

These are her painting that I made with canvas, stencils and a little paint. You may not can tell her but they display the lyrics to "you are my Sunshine"

These are the letters that are hung above her crib (yes I made these too)

 

 

 




I ordered her bedding from www.polkatotdesigns.com and I am extremely pleased!!!
 

A close up

I also ordered a changing pad cover to match!!!

Well that is the tour!!!! I hope she loves it!



Until Next Time.....
