So, tomorrow is the day!! We simply cannot wait!! Kevin and I are so excited to find out what this little love bug is that is growing inside of me. It seems like this pregnancy has taken a long time to reach this point. I am just ready for tomorrow!!

Tis it a boy or a girl?

So, on my last OB visit the Dr. scheduled an ultrasound this time to determine the sex. I am only 16 weeks and 3 days, but he said we should def. be able to tell. so, needless to say I got VERY excited and anxious.

The day arrived today. I get to the Dr and he looks at the paperwork and says " Your to early to have this done." UGH!!! Shot me down quick. So, he listens to the heartbeat, which is hard to find. He tells me that he thinks the baby is breech. Finally he finds the heartbeat up high. he also tells me my uterus has grown quite bit. Seriously??!

Anywho, since he scheduled the ultrasound he let me do it. The tech said if she could tell she would. the ultrasound lasted for like almost 10 minutes. The little booger is breech. They said it should turn, and I am hoping it does. We saw it moving and jumping everywhere. The arms, legs, and all facial features were there. But....the little one was sitting on its butt and had its legs crossed. Showing the goods??? Out of the question! We could not get it to move at all. The baby would move one leg and then the other, but not both. So....we shall wait! Here are two pics to enjoy!

Thank You Mama!!!

So.....

It is seriously almost Christmas time!!! Wow!!! I think we have like 16 days!! I can't believe the end of this year is almost here. As I sit here on this rainy day, I begin to think where this year has taken me. I never really realized how much has changed in 1 year. For example: I am now an expecting mother!!! Woo Hoo!!! Finally at the ripe old age of 27!! Also, I have changed jobs, my best friend has welcomed a precious baby girl into this world, we have made changes in our house, etc.

One thing that I am truly blessed for this year is my mother. Now, I love my daddy as well, but this year really tested my mom. In February, she was hospitalized for strep-pneumonia. She was on a ventilator to breath for 15 days. She was altogether hospitalized for 23. We almost lost her several times and those days were the longest days of my life!!!! I don't know if you realize it or not, but my mama is very important to me. After dealing with the initial shock of my mom being so sick and then having the Dr. come in and say we could lose her, my world flipped. WHAT?? I am only 26 and I need my mama!! I have so many things I want to tell her, so many things I want to experience with her.

This experience really had me praying to God. I went to the chapel and got down on my knees and prayed to God!! I told him over and over again, please do not think I am selfish, but God I got to have my mama!!!! Everyday and every chance we all had we were at that hospital!! Never ever did we give up hope. To spare the details, I seen and witnessed things there I will never ever forget!! Within all this I learned that those we love the most at times we take advantage of. I also hope and pray that when my baby arrives I can be half the mom to it that mine has been to me!!

This year has changed me. I am so thankful for my mama!! I am also thankful for everyone else around me. It is amazing how only 365 days of life have made an impact on me forever. I cannot wait to see what 2009 has in store for me!

So.....guess what this is??? It is our little gummy bear!!! I started some bleeding yesterday and they asked me to come in. I was very willing since I was sort of freaking out. We got an ultrasound done and it was amazing!! I am 7 weeks and 5 days. However, the ultrasound had the baby measuring at 8 weeks and 1 day. This put my due date around July 1st. So we shall see. The heartbeat was 156. Seeing my baby and hearing the heart beat was the best thing ever. Everything seems real now. I am still on cloud 9! The ultrasound tech kept calling it a "he" and our little gummy bear. She said that is about what it looks like now. We'll I love my little gummy bear and I am very excited to see it!!!

So.... I am going to be a mommy!!! Kevin and I are going to be parents. We initially were told we were due June 25th. However, now the Dr. said we are due July 3rd. Either way or whatever date is fine with me. We are both so very excited. We went for an ultrasound last Tuesday and everything was fine. We didnt get to see much since I am still a little early. I go back November 26th!! I can't wait!!!

The weekend review...

This weekend was wild!! We had Ole Miss game Saturday. It was a great day for Kevin and I to spend time together. We both love Ole Miss very much! Hotty Toddy!!

Also, Saturday night we had a baby shower for one of my highschool friends. It was great to catch up on current events in our lives.

Sunday, family renuion we had. It wasn't the best, but showed up and did the fake happy time face. Played with sweet Aubrie Grace who is in the picture.

Ssssssss.....

So, we all know what this is. It is a picture of snakes. Yes, lots of snakes. Hint plural word with -s at the end. Let me tell you why this post and a little history. I am not very fond of snakes. I am more scared of frogs though. I can handle snakes as long as I can see them. I will kill them in a second. Might be illegal, but oh well!
Anyways, this afternoon, Kevin was out playing golf with the guys. I was picking up outside just minding my own business. Well we have a 4-wheeler parked by our house. I was over there cleaning up and picked up a towel. On the ground was what I though was like fifty-million snakes!!!! They were RIGHT THERE!!! YUCK!! I stood there and remained calm. As, they began to scurry away, I noticed there were only 4!! YES, ONLY 4!! They then crawled through the lattice, and into a vent. Guess were the vent went??
You guessed it! UNDER my house!!! Now, there are four snakes under my house!! Two of them were little, but two were like 3ft+ long! I immediately called Kevin. I was freaking out!! What if they get in my house? I feel icky all over now!! Needless to say, tomorrow I am calling Terminex and seeing what they can do. We are also putting poison of some sort. I have to have them out!! So...pray for me tonight as I "try" to sleep with the thought of snakes under my house!!!
