Tennessee Trip

We just got back from a long weekend in Tenn with the Bernard's. We always have a great time visiting our close friends. The kids play so good together :)It was cute seeing them play and the adults having time to catch up and chat! Miss you guys!!








Maternity Photos, April 2010

Our good friend Heather shot some pics of us this past weekend when we went to visit them in Tenn. She's so talented! She even got Shae to smile. I love her pics and they were all taken in her beautiful backyard..I so wish I had a creek in my backyard, it's gorgeous out there :) Thanks again for taking these for us Heather, we will treasure them always! I am 1 day shy of 33 weeks preggo in these pics!











Avery's Field Trip to the Aquarium and IMAX

We had a blast on Avery's field trip. I helped chaperone and was pretty stressed out by the group I had, kidding! All I can say is that my child has better manners and behavior than most of the kids in her class. One kid in my group kept running away and I'd have to chase her down which is not easy these days for me! The other little girl kept asking me to buy her stuff in the gift shops, LOL! Avery had a blast and was so excited that I was there...she was even pointing to my belly and telling the other kids that her baby brother was in there.

31 weeks preggo and almost the end of Kindergarten

Wow! April is almost over! Lot's of exciting things coming up. Avery has her field trip to the New Orleans Aquarium and IMAX on the 22nd. I have signed up to be a chaperone for the trip. Avery is very excited that I'm coming along. I'm loving that because I know at some point in her life, I'll be embarassing and it won't be cool to hang out with mom anymore!

31 weeks preggo are here....that also equals the beginning of the 8th month of pregnancy. Things are starting to get a little uncomfortable. Baby Boy is doing great, growing as he should be. I'm still in the gym because it seems to help with my energy levels and with the aches and pains. My stats are great and my OB even told me that I could gain a little more weight because I haven't really gained as much as I should have in the past few visits..so I've been spluring on cookies, hee hee :)

Avery is also getting excited about her upcoming dance recital. She's worked hard all year and this year they have 2 separate dances to do, one ballet and one jazz number. It's so cute to see her practing at home and she can even name all the ballet moves. She tries to teach me, but I'm pretty clumsy these days!

29 week ultrasound

Here is still nameless baby boy's ultrasound pics from 29 weeks. He's a handsome little man :) He looks very similar to his big sister. It's awesome to see babies on ultrasounds, they move and make facial expressions just like full term babies do. We even caught one pic of him yawning..too cute!

Easter Fun 2010













Easter 2010 and baby updates

Whew..Life is so busy right now, in a good way! Avery's school activities keep us busy, I can't imagine how some people have 4 and 5 kids and keep everything straight!

Baby/Pregnancy Update: I am now 29.5 weeks pregnant. I had my glucose screening and passed it. I've gained 15 lbs so far, low blood pressure and I feel great. I have lots of energy and I'm still in the gym sweating and keeping toned.

Baby is doing great, SO ACTIVE(He's hosting the World Cup in there!) and we go for a 4D Ultrasound on April 10th to see his sweet face and features. Avery is coming around to the idea of baby boy..somewhat! She tells people that she's not excited but she acts like she does most days. We still have no name for this little rascal! According to my iphone app, he is around 3 lbs and 17 inches long and about the size of a butternut squash.

Easter we spent in Winnsboro. It was a very relaxing visit in country. We got to see family and friends that we hadn't seen since we moved. I will post some pics of our adventures in the next post
