Lynnlee is growing like a weed!

When I went back to the specialist on November 14th, I was relieved when Doctor Peters told me and my mom that Lynnlee's kidneys looked perfect and that she was completely healthy! He also told us that she is in the 97th percentile for her weight, she weighed 3 lbs and 9 ounces when we went in! Healthy, healthy girl! She has cute chubby cheeks, see for yourself:



It is a bit blurry, but still incredible that you can see that much detail these days with technology! We love her so much already! I measured 30 cm's at my doctor's appointment 2 weeks ago and I go back tomorrow, so we shall see how little Miss has grown!

He's A Hard Working Man!... And Mommy's working hard too!

Stephen has been very busy from putting together little things like Lynnlee's swing to putting together things as big as her CrIb! He has been so helpful about getting Baby Girl's room ready, I am so thankful that he doesn't mind doing these kinds of things. I think he takes pride in knowing that he is making sure that her everything is ready for his precious baby, and boy am I glad that I have such a wonderful and helpful husband! Here is what he has accomplished!







There is still a lot to do as far as decorating, but we have made a huge dent in the things that were needing to be done and I couldn't be more proud. I feel like a huge weight is lifted off of our shoulders. As for Mommy, I have washed every stitch of clothing that Lynnlee has (and believe me there's a LOT!) I washed all her crib sheets, blankets, towels, bibs and socks and I have put them away! Slowly, but surely her room is coming together and it's making me anxious for her arrival. She will be here before we know it!

Showers of Gifts for BaBy!!!

I had the most beautiful shower and all the thanks goes to my AMAZING Mother, Aunt Jennifer, Mother in law Debi, Sister Kasey and Sister in law Stephanie!!! They did such an awesome job preparing and I couldn't have dreamed of anything more!

Everything was decorated so cute, all the food was exceptionally yummy and all the people who attended made my day extra special! I felt very loved and realized just how spoiled miss Lynnlee is going to be!

Pictures from shower will be up as soon as my pregnant brain helps me to remember where I left the USB cord to my camera!

Found the Missing USB cord in my nightstand drawer.... Here are pictures from my shower, finally!

Maternity Pictures GaLoRe!!!

We did maternity pictures a little earlier than most women/couples might do maternity pictures because of MY height and the fact that it causes me to show more quickly. We had so much fun at the shoot and the photos turned out so WELL!
I feel like a giant standing next to Stephen who is so skinny, but it's all going to be worth the extra weight when we get to meet our healthy baby girl!









I am so excited about these pictures and how well they turned out and I look forward to having these to show to Lynnlee down the road.

Halloween & Lynnlee's Cousin Bre Bre's Birthday Party!

For about 9 years now, it has been a tradition to have my niece Breana's birthday party out at my parent's house. Breana was born on October 30th, so we call her our "Halloween Baby!" Her birthday usually consists of Costumes, and entertaining all the kids with fun Halloween games and of course, LOTS OF CANDY!!! My mom always has a lot of fun with the decorations and loves helping Bre's mom get the house all ready for the party. Breana turned 10 this year and she dressed up as a Zombie Prom Queen!!! This was also my niece Alice's FIRST Halloween! She was dressed as a Princess Fairy, Granny Jean was dressed as a Gypsy, Kasey was dressed as a 60's girl and My mom dressed as Medusa.











SCARY HUH?! It was a lot of fun, I can't believe that she is already ten years old!
 On Halloween day, we went and had my maternity pictures done, and I will have them up very soon!

No ViCtOrY =(

Unfortunately our Rangers didn't win the World Series again this year. We made it all the way to game 7, but just couldn't take the final Win! It was painful to watch them lose, but we are so glad that we were able to watch them play in the World Series for the 2nd year in a row. They are still our TEXAS RANGERS and we will just see them again next season. Until then, we will cheer on Lynnlee's daddy's favorite basketball team.... the UK Wildcats!
=)

A Side note to Lynnlee... It is so fun to watch your daddy get into these games on the TV, he really gets excited. One day we will sit and laugh at all his goofy dances and cheers that he does in front of the TV, and we will be proud to say he belongs to us, "The Luckiest Gals in the World!"

The Finished Product!

Well the nursery is all painted! Everyone contributed a little bit and now we have a beautifully painted light pink Nursery! =) I am very happy with the color that we chose!!!



I am so happy that it is finished before this weekend. We are having my shower this Sunday, so I am excited to put all of her stuff in her room and start decorating!
