Week 22

We have passed the halfway point and we're growing everyday! We better watch out...our baby girl is really active, especially after I eat ice cream! She's definitely my child!! We have been busy the last few weeks, which really makes the time fly by. We spent July 4th in Hartsville with the Brown's, enjoying the lake, jetski, pool and dinner. We will be headed to Myrtle Beach this weekend to see everyone! Can't wait! Here is a recent picture!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to our dads and granddad's! We just came back from lunch with my dad and Pops in Sneads Ferry. It was nice and hot but a great visit! We were able to share the photos from the most recent ultrasound with everyone. We were also happy to have the O'Berrys join us from Jacksonville - thanks for coming and enjoying the fun!

NURSERY UPDATE:

We have made a little bit of progress on the nursery for the Baby Girl. We have designated the guest room as hers and will be moving the bed and desk out. The "office" & guest room will now be one room. I hope that those who plan on visiting don't mind spending the night with a turkey or a duck or a fish, since these animals also live in what is currently the office. We have purchased a crib. It's from the Young America line made by Stanley. I think that I have decided on a bedding, but we'll see. Here are some pictures:

Happy Birthday Uncle Andrew!

Happy Birthday Andrew, Hope you have a great day!

Week 19

We are at week 19, just 1 week from the halfway point of 20 weeks. I'm really growing now, it's easy to see as I look back at past photos. 

This has been an exiting week, finding out that we are having a sweet baby girl and purchasing her crib. Of course, we can't have a post with including out Sweet Bella Girl!

Is it a Boy or Girl?

We went for our ultrasound this morning and everything looked really great; Heartbeat at 155 and Weight at 9ozs. Heart, kidneys, bladder, stomach and umbilical cord are all there and you can see this in the photos below.

Hey Mom & Dad! What's up!!

Profile

So, here is the big news everyone has been patiently waiting to hear and apparently our little baby was needing some privacy. The tech, Dana, checked several times for the sex...but, either the legs were crossed or a foot was in the way. So, she continued on with checking the vitals, organs and size and would come back to check the sex a few times. So, I am sure you're asking "Well, did you see or not"? Well, we did and are excited to learn we're having a LITTLE GIRL!

Lee is out numbered, at least for now! And, he'll have to get used to his fishing buddy wearing a little bow in her hair. But, I know he will have so much fun and enjoy teaching her all about the things he loves to do.

Lee’s Corner

Hey everybody!!! I’ve been patiently figuring out how to handle a pregnant wife. So far it has been pleasant. I try to pick up a few extra chores and pick up my clothes that don’t quite make it to the hamper since E is busy growing our child. I’m getting very excited and am ready to find out what it is so I can go ahead and start shopping for baseball gloves and camouflage (just a hunch).

E has been a great pregnant wife so far. She definitely is Glowing and is looking prettier every day. Thankfully there has been no morning sickness or mood swings to deal with. I honestly think this experience has made our marriage 100 times stronger and I am ready to expand our little family.

There is still a lot of work that needs to be done to the house: moving furniture, painting rooms, buying new furniture, baby cloths, etc. I’ll leave all the shopping up to E….I’ll be the manual laborer.

Month 4 Doctor's Appointment

We had our monthly appointment this morning. Everything sounded great! We were able to hear the heartbeat for a few minutes. We also heard the little bleps of the baby moving around.

Our next visit is for the BIG ultrasound on June 17th!
