Ultrasound/Thanksgiving/Comments

Matt and I just had an appt. with the perinatologist (specialist for babies) yesterday. At my last ultrasound they thought the umbilical cord only had 2 vessels and it's supposed to have 3. This can possibly cause heart and/or kidney problems. After stressing about it for a few weeks we found out that the cord actually has 3 vessels which is normal and she looked great! She is measuring right at 21 weeks which is perfect! We are so blessed and thankful for our little miracle.

A couple of people said they were having problems leaving comments. I just changed the setting so that anyone can leave a comment and you don't have to be a registered user. Hopefully that will make things easier! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

21 Week Belly Pic and Baby Bedding

Here is my 21 week belly pic. My friend Joanne told me at church this morning, "If people don't think you look pregnant now they are crazy!" The other night Matt lovingly said "Wow! That's one big pregnant belly!" It's scary to think that I'm only halfway there.

The baby bedding finally arrived and now I'm so excited to start getting her room ready! This is actually a picture of the outside and inside of the bumper. The polka dots that look green are actually a tan. Although, I think we're going to use some green as an accent color.

This is the sheet that cam with it with the small polka dots and then the crib skirt. I'm afraid that the brown part is going to be covered with dog hair, but at least the stripes will be at the bottom.

Baby Treats and Craft Show

Kristi at my school found out she was having a boy last week so we did a combination announcement for her and a thank you to the staff for giving us restroom breaks and covering our classes for our doctor appointments. I thought it turned out pretty cute!




Dana, Lindsey and I attempted to do another craft show last weekend in Lee's Summit. The good news is that we actually made money this time!! It was all day on Saturday and Sunday and we couldn't believe how many people came through. We're doing another one in a couple of weeks, but it's not supposed to be very big. Dana and I decided that we would use the money we made to buy things for "the girls" rooms!

Belly Pic/ Hawkeye Dress/ Halloween

This is my 19 week belly pic. I can't believe we're almost half way done!
I have a feeling the 2nd half of this pregnancy is going to go much faster.
Here is our favorite police dog on Halloween.
Even if he is scared of everything!

You can just tell he loves it, can't you?
We got a good laugh out of it at least!
This is an Iowa Hawkeye dress that I bought yesterday.
I just couldn't resist! Matt loves it of course. He said it would
be perfect for her to wear on game days!
And my favorite part...the ruffles on the butt!

We did pick out bedding for her room. It's the "Lola" set at www.jcpenny.com if you want to check it out.
Now if we could only decide on a name. Here's our list so far...
