Mom.

Sweet Addison,

Two things your Daddy is guilty of: 1. Being completely romantic and thoughtful. 2. Not being able to keep a secret!

Thus, I was given my Mother's Day present early. He gets so excited about things he can't wait to give them to me and I am pretty sure he will be the same way with you! I will have to tie his hands behind his back so that he won't give you your birthday and Christmas presents early. :)

The emerald is your birthstone and the sweet squishy face on the right is you at our last ultra sound. I can't wait until you are here and I can replace it with your newborn photo to hold close to my heart always.

Anxiously waiting for you,

Mom

I Love Nap Time.

Chunker Cheeks & Big Texas Hair.

As the ultrasound began and the tech started to measure her head, I noticed something floating in the fluid above babygirl's head. Surely that can't be hair, I thought, as I didn't think you could see hair in an ultrasound. Just as I was completing my though, the tech said,

"Have you been having a lot of heartburn?"

"No not really, why?"

"Because this little girl has a FULL head of hair!"

What we had seen floating around was indeed hair! She even measured it and it was 2 centimeters long (about 7/8")....just flowing in the fluid. Jason and I were TICKLED! Hair! Our baby has hair! Upon further inspection we got a peek at her chunker cheeks, pouty lips and button nose.

She measured the belly, kidneys, liver, etc and everything is developed and perfect! She even measure the femur and informed us she has looooong legs which wasn't too surprising, considering she comes by it honestly from her tall parents!

The final verdict after all her measurements: she is already weighing in at 5lbs 15oz! Holy mackeral!

Since everything looks great, the doc has decided to go ahead and induce at 39 weeks. 4 more weeks! We cannot wait to meet our sweet, chunkered cheek little angel. :) One last photo before she makes her grand appearance... with her arm/hand over face as usual!


And I don't care what anyone says, the dogs KNOW. After getting home from my appt, this is how my afternoon has been spent:

Do you like my Ross scarf? Haha.

I Heart Mud Bugs.

This weekend's family reunion/crawfish boil was an absolute blast but I sure am pooped! Eating copious amounts of crawfish, relaxing by a bonfire and laughing with family is so exhausting, you know. :)

As you can see, fun was had by all! Poppie (Jason's stepdad and Master crawfish boiler) was sure I was about to pop at any moment and joked he had and extra pot of water boiling "just in case."

.

Haha, because THAT wouldn't be scary or anything!

.

We have our final ultrasound in the morning and hopefully they can give us an idea of how big baby girl is and if she is good and ready to come out and meet us!

.

Cannot wait. :)

Broken Record.

I feel like a broken record these days, starting each entry with "life has been so busy." But it HAS. This past weekend was spent visiting Jason's family. We got to spend time with his grandma which was so nice and then had burgers with Aunt Patty, Uncle Ricky, Ryan and Amanda, Katie and Leslie. We then headed out to some really gorgeous areas around their home so I could take Katie's Senior pictures and some of Leslie as well as some of them together. It was a very fun, photography is so much easier when you have beautiful models, though! ;)

I want to post a few pics but then have to run... Jason's family reunion/crawfish boil starts tomorrow and I need to get laundry done, bags packed and make a strawberry cheesecake trifle to bring for dessert. :) Oh and rest in there at some point!

Hope everyone is well!

Babymoon! Down By The Sea.... errr the Gulf!

*Looks up at pregnancy ticker* 33 weeks! In a little over a month our lives are going to be turned upside down and changed forever (in a very good way!). We decided to take a long weekend trip to Galveston to have a nice relaxing, romantic weekend before all the craziness.

Jason found an adorable condo to rent right on the water and we spent the weekend fishing, walking on the beach, laying by the pool and stuffing ourselves with seafood. It was a perfect weekend, wish our toes were still in the sand!

Maternity Pic Teasers.*

*Oops, had the wrong snapfish link! Fixed now. :)

MiaBella has done it again! This amazing couple shot our engagement pics, bridal pics, wedding pics and now our maternity/belly pictures! Kelly and Marianne are ridiculously talented and after seeing our teasers, we cannot wait until Addison is here and they do her newborn pictures as well. :)

It was so hard to pick one for our header but the one I used is definitely one of my favorites! It's the picture that makes me tear up and realize, we are really having a baby!

I won't post them all here but you can check them out on snapfish! CLICK HERE

XOXO
