Guess what came today?

The baby furniture came today....I am so excited. We still have some stuff to do before the nursery will be all put together! Jarred is still working on the trim which is looking awesome! This is the most comfortable chair ever, I can't wait to rock my sweet little girl in it!

Our Great Weekend

We had a great weekend. My first shower was Saturday...it turned out great and Ava got some great stuff(pictures to follow soon!). Jarred spent his weekend chasing white bass on the San Jacinto river with his two best buddies...life could not get any better! They caught around 40 and then came home to clean them. Now our garage smells like fish...not a good smell for pregnant mommy! Hope all of you had a great weekend too!

Girls day out

Our local radio station, KSBJ hosted a Girls day out that included guests from Proverbs 31 ministries and Kate Goslin from John & Kate plus 8. Andee and I went(I know...bed rest but I really wanted to go and I am allowed two hours a day!). Wow, what an amazing day. The speakers were amazing and it was fun to see Kate in person. I love watching the show, it sometimes drives me crazy but you just have to watch. One of the speakers, Lysa TerKeurst really inspired me. She was talking about her book "What Happens When Women Say Yes to God". I have told many of you my desire to sponsor a child from Compassion International when KSBJ was talking about it last year. I never did it [;-(] but today nothing was going to stop me. I sponsored a little girl named Getenesh. She is 7 years old and lives in Ethiopia. Please pray for her and her family! Andee sponsored a little boy too...I can't remember his name but I will post info about him when I get it from her.On a side note, my neighbor, Debra is going to Haiti to meet her son Ronel that she is trying to adopt. Please pray for her as she is there and that their meeting goes well!

Update from doctors appointment on Tues....

Sorry I did not update sooner about my visit. Everything still seems to be going well, please continue to pray that Ava will hang out with her mommy for a while longer. My tummy does not measure where it should be so I had another ultrasound. Ava is great, there is plenty of fluid and she weighs right at 3 pounds...You "GROW" girl! (That is her new motto..ha!)
I love getting to take a look at her, those are always my favorite visits! We all think she looks like me, but Jarred really wants her to look like him. I guess we will see. I got the ultrasound tech to measure her little feet, they already measure 2 1/2 inches. Do you think she will even be able to wear newborn shoes? (I can't wait to kiss those big feet!)

Look at those lips....they scream kiss me! Please continue to pray that she stays put!

Our night routine

Jarred laughs every night when I get my CD player out for mine and Ava's night routine. See my sweet neighbors gave me the Baby Mozart CD to play for my baby girl. I am hoping that if I play it each night before bed she will get used to it and know it is bedtime when she hears it once she makes her entrance. Do you think it will work? (Probably not but I can hope)
It is still fun to feel her kick as it plays!

Weekend Fun

Well, it has been awhile since I posted....nothing has really been going on! This weekend Jarred finished painting the baby room (all walls are striped and it looks awesome) and he installed hard word floors. All that is left is the new baseboards he will be installing.



I worked on a little project too! It is a bow
holder for all her little bows and hair clips.
I know she will have a lot with who her Mom
and Mimi are!

They called us on Friday to let us know our furniture is in...yeah! I will be calling to set up delivery. I can't wait to get it all together and show you guys.

We made of first goal of 28 Weeks!

We made our first goal of 28 weeks....what an answer to prayers! The doctor said every two weeks from now on is a milestone, I am praying to make it to at least 34 weeks! I got a gift for reaching my goal....What is better than a cupcake?? (Notice the size-half for me and half for Ava) Please keep praying that she stays put so we can make our next goal(I would love another cupcake)!
