Oh we wait....

So while talking to my mom this morning I realized I have officially fallen into the quiet zone. I believe it was your fault, well at least fess up you started it! See once I discovered I was dilating I also quickly discovered that I could no longer casually call you or anyone else. Seemed like everyone answered with an out of breath excitement which I would quickly crush with the response "no he's not coming, I just called to chat" . This is also about the time I realized that just like his father people are far more interested in the men in my life than they are with me...lol. Well, since I've entered into this new zone of silence chances are I haven't shared much news with you. So here it goes!
We are currently learning how to count... slowly. At 37 weeks 3 Days (this past Monday) I was now a FULL (if you have ever impatiently waited to dilate you know how important the FULL is) 2 CM and almost completely thinned out. This baby is low. Don't need a Doctor to tell me that though! Check out these two recent pictures, and you'll see what I mean :)

Taken on March 17th, the birthday of my cousin as well as my nephew. Silly me I thought we had a chance!

Don't let the smile fool ya! This was this past weekend. My poor photographer had to suffer through this photo shoot. At this point no lighting or angle could help me!

Thank You Jesus!!!!!!!!!

Oh this is exciting!!!! Today I took Kenny into our local Once Upon A Child. I discovered this wonderful store last week and was excited to share it with Papa Ken. After browsing around for a few minutes we were ready to leave. Heading to the door (car doors already unlocked) I spotted it! The Mamaroo!!! Our *luxury* item we registered for at Buy Buy Baby (retails $200+). We have been dreaming about this baby seat since we first laid eyes on it. Why I'm surprised? I'm not sure. God has been so faithful in abundantly blessing us with our hearts desires. Well thank you Jesus for this amazing $50.00 gift!

30th week here we come!

I know I know it has been forever since the last picture. Well the wait is over. We are working on our 30th week and so far the 3rd trimester has been wonderful. Up just a few pounds ;) 30+ for those of you who really want to know. And I'm very proud of this new body. God has been amazing, we have had no issues besides the usual growing pains. Thank you for your prayers, love and for acknowledging you were wrong and I was right. This girl does know how to pack it on! lol


Taneka, as per your request here is a bathing suit shot. The first and last!

Weighing in at H.E.B???

Today Kenny and I headed out for our weekly Saturday morning shopping trip. 1st stop Walmart followed by H.E.B for a few select items. After raiding the produce aisle I was told I had to wrap the trip up. I don't know what his problem was. I was just in need of some oranges, apples, bananas, cherries, strawberries and one very cute looking "personal sized" watermelon. So like usual we headed to the self check out, where I scan and Kenny bags. I scan the first item hand it over to my assistant and the screen tells me to remove the item from the scanner in front of me and wait for assistance. Ahh. We wait, and the nice lady clears the screen. Second item, scanned, bagged and again.... Please clear the item from scanner in front of you. By the 10th item, the 10th lecture from the screen and the 10th clear from the nice lady I've had it. I look at Kenny and say, "How is it that we picked the messed up check out?!" He stopped looked at me and then made one very interesting observation. It just so happened that there was an an "extra item" weighing in on the scanner. My belly!!! Yes it's true now even the self check out scanner at H.E.B now recognizes that I am pregnant.

You have got to be kidding me!

Two of my greatest fears.... 1) Dirty Birds and 2) Mass amounts of them!!!! This is what we found outside Chick-Fil-A two nights ago.
