A Sad, Sad Day for our Family...

Friday, September 23, 2011, My pawpaw Calvin went to be with the Lord. He has been sick for quite sometime and been fighting it like the warrior that he is, but his body finally stopped fighting and he left us to spend eternal life with our Savior. I am so sad that Lynnlee will never personally know her Great Pawpaw Calvin, he was a wonderful man and many looked up to him. I loved calling him my Grandpa and will forever treasure my memory of him. I will tell her all about him and show her all the pictures of all the neat things that he did with his life.

No more pain and suffering for him. He is up in heaven praising God and looking after all of our loved ones who have left this earth but live eternally in heaven.

There's No Denying It!

SOOOO... at our last Doctor's appointment, we were told that we are FOR SURE having ourselves a little GIRL! =) They say that with little girls they look for the 3 white lines, and we could clearly see that on this ultrasound...

I am happy to know for sure and so excited to start decorating! We were also informed that Miss Lynnlee's kidneys are a little dilated and that we would need to go to a specialist to have it looked at. We did and the specialist, Doctor Peters said that her kidneys are measuring a 5 when normally they are a 3. He says he is not worried AT ALL and that we would just keep an eye on them. He said that mom and baby looked healthy and that he didn't want to see me back until I am 30 weeks. He also stated that it's normally something that fixes itself before birth and that he didn't see any reason that Lynnlee's little kidneys wouldn't figure it out before she gets here. GOD is GOOD!

Our little Princess is growing strong, she weighed 1 pound when we went to the specialist on 09/26/2011!

We registered at Babies R Us and we plan to register at Target this weekend.



GrOwInG!!!

These are the last two pictures that I have taken of my belly....

There is no doubt that Baby W has been growing like a weed here lately, there's also no doubt that mommy has been enjoying not "dieting"! LOL

I weighed yesterday and I have hit the 10 pound mark... EEEKKK! Kind of Scary, but with being 2 days shy of 20 weeks pregnant, I think I am right about where I should be. I hope I only gain 25. I know they say the average amount is 25-35 pounds, but with my short frame, I hope to stay on the lower end. With fall just around the corner, I am going to start walking again and hopefully that will help!

That's all for now!

In the mean time....

I haven't been posting nearly enough lately, I guess I can blame it on being so busy! We have had a TON going on here the past few weekends, I didn't think I was going to catch my breath for a little while, but I did and I have a lot to update on! The weekend before my sister  Ashley got married, I had a little lunch date with her and miss Bella to discuss what all still needed to be done. I love seeing Bella and getting to visit with her, she is growing so much and she thinks that she is TOO big for her britches now a days! =)

She is very curious at age 2 and loves to put on a show for us! I had a really nice visit with her and feel very lucky to have this precious little girl as my niece.

The following weekend I was a bridesmaid in Ashley's wedding. Below is a picture of Stephen and I all dressed up for the first time since I've been pregnant, and in this dress you can see my  BABY bump really well!

The day after the wedding Stephen and I went over to his parents to celebrate him graduating from ITT Tech! A few family friends attended, along with my parents and Stephen's good friends from school Dustin and Angel. We are all so proud of him and all that he has accomplished in the past two years! I know that he will go far in anything he does and I am so excited to see where this road takes him.

Congrats Stephen!!! College Graduate, Class of 2011!!!

Prince or Princess?!?!!

When we went back to the doctor the following week, baby W was moving alll around, we could hardly get a picture of his/her bottom... Finally baby W was still long enough for Dr. Sadler to say what she thought we were having! What was the Verdict.... She said... "It's a GIRL!" We were in disbelief, and I think we still are a little. LOL. Not that we aren't super excited for a  little girl, LOTS of BOWS AND DRESSES =) But we were just convinced 100% that this little baby was for sure a BOY! We were wrong. We go back to the Doctor next Wednesday, 9/21/11 and we are having another sonogram, maybe once we see it again we will feel more confident about whether or not she is right about the sex. Either way, we will be ECSTATIC and we are just so happy that every time we go in for a check up, Dr. Sadler tells us how wonderful everything looks with our little bundle of JOY! We still can't agree on a boy name.... But once we heard it was a girl, we knew her name for sure... If SHE really is a SHE, we will name her, Lynnlee Rene Waldrop! We love you so much and can't wait to see what Dr. Sadler says next week about our little growing miracle!
