Pricked and Poked...We're 27 Weeks!

Our doctor's visit today went well. The "juice" wasn't that bad, but it was hard to get down. About 15-20 minutes after drinking it, Emma started bouncing around! Can I say...sugar rush! The doctor even commented about how active she was. He put the "hear the heartbeat" thing on my belly and she kicked it right off. Dr. Harden said "She's fiesty this morning!" I gave about a gallon of blood to be tested for almost everything. (just kidding, but it was a lot!) We will hear back from the tests soon. We are now going to the doctor every two weeks, and in two short months we will go every week. I counted it up today...only 8 more doctor's visits before Emma gets here! So much to do!

Emma's room is coming together...

We have finally gotten all of Emma's furniture together. Well, I guess I should say John Allen finally got the furniture together. He would not let me put things together...he has been so cute about getting Emma's room ready and keeping it "uncluttered!" We still have lots of decorating to do, but we are glad to have the "bones"of her room. We are planning to paint the room this weekend and maybe pick up a couple of items for decorating. Take a look at that closet...this girl better love pink. So many cute outfits!! I can't believe that we are less than three months away from meeting her, holding her, kissing her, smelling her! In three short months, her sweet little face will be sleeping in this crib. So amazing! I can't wait! We are headed to the doctor in the morning for our blood glucose test. I am not looking forward to drinking that sweet, sweet juice!

Sunday Shower Pics

Church Baby Shower on Sunday

We scheduled both of our Clemson baby showers in the same weekend to save money on gas. My second shower of the weekend was held at Pendleton First Baptist Church (my home church). The ladies of my mom's Sunday School class hosted. I was overwhelmed by the turnout and the generous gifts. Emma is set with clothing for the first 6 months of her life... everything pink. She also got so many nice things for her nursery and bath time! They (of couse) decorated in all pink and even had her name around the punch bowl. How cute!! All of these ladies have known me since I was a little girl. I grew up looking up to them as mothers and strong Christian women. They have set such a good example and Emma is going to be so blessed to have so many "grandma's." Thank you all for making me and Emma feel so loved...we love you!

Some more pics from Saturday!

Saturday Baby Shower

We received so many cute and useful things for Emma on Saturday. The shower was hosted by my best friends, Ansley and Melissa. Both girls are wonderful mothers and friends. I was so excited to see some of my friends and family. Ansley, Melissa, and Crystal brought their babies...so I got some practice holding and playing with some baby boys. (Crystal has twin boys!) Melissa's mom hosted the shower at her house...so beautiful. Everything was decorated with pink...I loved the cake! It was monagrammed! I can't wait for Emma to meet all of these wonderful people...they have been so important in my life and helped shape me into the person I am today! I love you girls!

Movin' on Up!

We had our ultrasound yesterday to check the position of the placenta. Just like the doc predicted, the placenta has moved up! We were so relieved! We are no longer diagnosed with a marginal previa!!! Thanks for all the prayers and support over the past couple of months. We have truly felt loved! Bonus...we got some more pics of Emma (although they aren't as good as last time). It was very hard to tell what was what! She is getting so big...weighing in at 1 lb. 11 oz. Right on track!
We have our first baby showers this weekend....can't wait! This is going to be so fun!
