A Few Ultrasound Shots........











24 Down 16 to Go!!!!!

I guess its time for an update. Honestly, everything's been pretty uneventful recently. I'm getting fatter, baby's getting more active and I'm starting to freak out slightly in anticipation of childbirth. Billions of other women have made it through so I will too, right? My last doctor's appointment showed that everything was good. I only gained a pound since the last time (hoo rah!). That's 13 total. I think I can mentally handle about seven more before I start to freak out about that too. I planted flowers in our back yard Sunday and realized that everything requires more breaks, fluids and time to heal afterwards. (I'm still sore).
I'm thinking that once the baby is here he's gonna be a piece of cake. Lance on the other hand, he's gonna be a handful. The two of us went to watch the Swingin' Medallions last Saturday night. They were playing at a festival on the courthouse lawn in Springfield. Do you know that I wasn't even allowed to dance? It was no big deal, I had to just laugh it off when he said "No! You can't dance!" with serious concern in his voice. I mean what can go wrong? I know absolutely nothing but we'll let him be overly protective......for now. I can see that when the baby gets here there's going to be a "freak-out session" over every sneeze, cough or hiccup. It really makes me very thankful for having been raised around tons of babies. Could you imagine what it would be like if we were both like Lance is right now? Surely he'll lighten up when he gets used to a newborn. (Let's hope so anyway)
We're STILL stuck with the name. I even tried last week to get Lance to name the boy and I'd name the girl......later down the road. His response was, "No, you're not getting outta this one!" That should tell you how tough it's been for us. I just hope and pray that we can come up with one before he gets here!
This hasn't been a very interesting post, but I tell ya, we're just kinda passing the time right now. Maybe it'll get more exciting soon. If so, I'll be sure to post. Love you all!
