Our Sweet Girl

Last week I mentioned that I some ultra sound pictures that I wanted to share but they were PDF's and blogger wouldn't let me upload them. Well I finally have them in JPEG's now and wanted to share!
Here is one of her sweet face looking at us!
It looks to me like she is smiling!
Here are her litte feet at 18 weeks!!!!
And here they are at 23 weeks!
She has them crossed in this picture! I could just eat them up!!!
 I love getting to see her whole body!!!
Look at that sweet leg!!!
Her little hand waving!!!
Her profile!!!
She is just the cutest baby ever to me!!!!
I know you all probably don't enjoy looking at these as much as I do, but I want them for my memories on here!!!

Weekend Getaway

Christian and I went to visit a girlfriend of mine from school and her family in Wilmington! It was nice to get away, but I'm learning that I'm not a fan of traveling while pregnant. We got to their house around 10:00 Friday night and we just talked for a little bit and went to bed.
Saturday morning we hung out around there house and played with their sweet baby Walker! He is such a happy baby and smiled the whole time we were there. I think he only cried once the whole weekend. Here is Walker on our way to eat Mexican for lunch!!!
After lunch we decided to hang out at the pool instead of the beach. It was so HOT and I didn't feel like getting sandy. Walked loved the pool and we all had such a good time passing him around playing with him. I think we wore him b/c he later fell asleep in his float.
I came to the house and took a nap before we went to dinner. I was so tired and knew I couldn't make it to dinner without a nap..ha! We went to a seafood restaurant right on the water in Wrightsville beach!
(I feel like I look like a balloon in this picture good thing I have an excuse to look big right now..LOL)
Here is a picture of Amanda and Adam at dinner also!
I hope you all had a nice weekend too!
I'm so happy we have Monday behind us and only 4 more days until the weekend! I have my glucose test on Wednsday and getting my hair done on Thursday!

Weekend Getaway!

Christian and I have decided to go to Wilmington (a beach about 3 hours away) to visit some friends this weekend!!! I'm looking forward to getting away this weekend and relaxing by the pool and on the beach (maybe). I love going to the beach, but I'm not a huge fan of sand, so usually I hang out by the pool. Christian grew up in Florida and he is beach boy, so I'm sure I'll have to go for a little bit with him.
I hope you all have a great weekend!
We have this weekend planned and a beach trip in August planned and they will be our last two getaways baby free! I can't wait to take Macey with us on vacation!!! I always had the best time going on vacation with my family while growing up!!!

Ultrasound Picture

I have several ultrasound pictures that I want to share with you all, but I'm so aggravated!!! My doctor's office never puts them a disc for me, so all I have are the paper ones. I took like 45 minutes one day and scanned them all in here at work and blogger will not let me upload PDF's. A guy I work with has newer software on his computer to change them from PDF to JPEG, but hasn't yet.
However, I do I have this one that he practiced with to share with you!!! It is one of my favorites and I love her poking her little finger!!! It gives her such a personality...lol!!! I could look at these everyday and fall more and more in love with my sweet girl.
I love this sweet baby so much!!!!
I wonder everyday will she look like her Daddy or her Mommy, will she have hair and what color, her skin tone, her eyes? I can't wait to hold her in my arms and take in her sweet baby scent!!!

Catch Up

We had a busy weekend and I was too tired to catch up last night!!!
Friday night I babysat for my boss, he has a little 10 month old girl and she is too cute!!! It was his and his wife's anniversary so I watched her for a few hours while they went to dinner! I figured I could use some practice anyways..HA! I didn't get the chance to take any pictures that night, but here is one from when she was in the office one day. (please ignore the beyond horrible picture of me)
Christian had some friends in town that he went to college with so we went to lunch and dinner with them! I did not take one picture this weekend of us all together! I guess I was to busy talking and eating when we were together. I did snap this quick picture with my phone on our way out the door for dinner!
I decided I want to wear heels out to dinner Saturday night and that was a bad idea! I barely made it back to the car, I told Christian I will be retiring my heels until after the baby arrives and we will decide then if they will be brought back out. My guess is probably not..HAHA! I've always loved heels, but not these days!
Sunday was nice and we got stuff done around the house. I guess I should say Christian got stuff done for me around the house, while I was on the couch! After cleaning Christian went to play golf and I went to my parents for the afternoon! My Dad gave Buddy a good brushing and bath for me! For some reason Buddy is the best for my Dad when it comes to bath time. Here is a picture of our sweet boy last night at bed time! He is so spoiled it's almost sad!
I wanted to share this picture of my belly I took today at work! I will be 26 weeks tomorrow and I'm really starting to feel pregnant! I'm exhausted all the time, HOT and sweaty, back aches, can't sleep, go to the bathroom 2456 times a day, indigestion, can't wear heels, and I'm starting to waddle when I walk..lol!
But this sweet baby girl in my belly is worth every bit of it!!!
I can't wait to meet you and love you and hold you in my arms sweet Macey !!!
