Dr. Appointment Week 32

This Thursday will be week 32, possibly week 33 depending on who you ask. So I had a doctor's appointment today with Dr. Gorman. He reported that I looked good and that my belly was a little larger than he would expect. However, I haven't gained any weight since my last visit. Which seems kinda bizarre, especially if you have seen me recently!!

Adalynn had a great heart beat!!

I did talk Dr. Gorman into giving us a second ultrasound. So we can see her again. I am very excited about that. He agreed because of the skepticism of the due date. Everyone just pray that she is a GIRL!! If not we are in trouble.

Mom received the material for the bedding, last Monday. However, when she did the prewashing the black material faded!!! So now I am having to deal with that. Hopefully, Addie will someday have baby bedding.

In other baby news:

• We are still waiting on Maebrie to arrive. If Jamie doesn't do something soon, her doctor will induce Wednesday, the 10th.
• Anna Beth, Nina's baby, is a week behind us but if Nina doesn't keep her sugar levels good, Anna Beth may beat Addie into the world!
• Jordan and Susan just found out last week they are having a boy!
• Sarah and Brad will find out this weekend what their baby is going to be!!
  

Razorbacks and Presents

We spent this last weekend just relaxing. A weekend off was so nice. On Friday afternoon, we came home with packages on the door step. So of course we opened them. We didn't wait for the shower that is this weekend. We received the Pack 'N Play from Grandma Bec and Pop. We also received some gifts from my sister. She sent us, the frog bathtub toy scoop, a robe, a hooded towel and the Womb Sounds Teddy Bear. We loved it all!!!

On Saturday, we watched the Razorbacks play. We had Uncle Matt and Aunt Mary Kim over to watch the game with us and Uncle Randy. Jeremy smoked some steaks that way I could eat one, too. After a sad loss, we played some board games which I became somewhat delirious because it was so late.

Things are still going well this is week 30 of the pregnancy. We have our 2nd shower this weekend. I am starting to waddle more as the day goes on and am starting to feel somewhat enormous. We will keep pushing forward only 10 more weeks.

We are very excited that Maebrie will be here soon! Only two more weeks for Jamie!

The Addie Update

Well, last week I went to the doctor for my 28 week check up. I got brave and asked the doctor if there was anyway we could begin discussing the induction of Addie on November 21st. This would be the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and give me exactly 6 weeks to get back to work. Her response was that they would probably be willing to do it, however, if I had not began dilating and my cervix had not thinned, it would be pointless. She said that would probably result in a c-section. So I decided that we would play it by ear and see how things start progressing.

The next shower is September 23rd. The hostesses are my aunts on my mom's side of the family. This will be the Mansfield shower for family and friends. We keep getting the coolest gifts and can't wait to use them all on Addie!!!

We are both back to school. It seems like there is soooo much work stuff to get done before Addie comes and not a whole lot of time to do it in. I have met Anna the lady who will be keeping Addie when I go back to work and she seems super perfect. We are very excited to have found her.

My cousin Jordan and his wife Susan, are getting ready to find out what their baby is going to be and we are extremely anxious to see if we will have two baby girls or one of each.

My best bud, Jamie and her husband Matt are due on October 4th with Addie's best friend, Maebrie. We can't wait to meet her.

We are hoping for a calm and peaceful next few months!!

We love you all and thanks for checking the site!!!

The 4 foot tall Giraffe!!

We celebrated Jeremy's dad's birthday on Wednesday, August 15th. Pop Yates turned the big 51. We went to Fort Smith and ate dinner at Logan's with Don, Becky and Grandmother. Of course we needed dessert so we went to the Marble Slab for some ice cream.

Next door to the Marble Slab is a new children's shoe store that also sells some toy items. When we got out of the car, Don said "hey look at the big giraffe in the window." And there it was - a 4 foot tall stuffed giraffe!!

I made the remark about how I had a 4 foot tall giraffe in my room when I was a baby. Jeremy and I continued to window shop and went into the Marble Slab followed by Becky and Grandmother. In the meantime, the shop owner comes out to speak with Don about the 4 foot tall giraffe.

When we came outside to eat our ice cream at our table, there was the giraffe sitting next to Don!! Addie's very own 4 foot tall giraffe just like mine. If a child can convince her grandpa to buy her a huge giraffe and she is not even here yet, we are wondering what kind of stuff she is going to convince him to buy her when she is actually here!!!

The Baby Bed is Here!!

The baby bed finally arrived on Thursday. It is a converter crib so it will be a toddler bed and then a full size bed. Her furniture is going to be black.

Putting together the baby bed involved a lot of help from a 60 pound Boxer. Bella is convinced that everything in Addie's room belongs to her.

We also received the matching dresser with the changing table however, that is at Mom's house.

Thanks to Grammy and Poppy for the bed!!

Thanks to Great Aunt George, Great Aunt Carter, and Great Aunt Beanie aka, Bev, Carla and Bettye for the dresser/changing table!!

The Morrison Shower

Well we have had our first shower and Adalynn received so much great stuff already!!!

She is going to have so many clothes. We received a great assortment of gifts.

We are taking a VOTE "IE" vs. "Y"

Okay so originally we had decided that Adalynn would be called Addie or Addy. I let Jeremy decided how to spell Adalynn and how he wanted to spell her nickname. He thought that Addie was cute and girly.

However, in agreement with Tracie, everyone is spelling it with a "y" instead of with an "ie." Tracie recommended this because her whole life everyone misspelled her name and would spell it with a "y."

So now it is up to you!! Please leave us your opinion on the "y" vs. "ie"
