Week 29

Today I took a sick day. I have a bad sinus infection and didn't sleep well at all last night. Thanks to my Dr. I have a Z pack and should be getting over this very soon.

Molly Grace is continuing to grow and move more and more. I can feel her shifting positions and can feel when her arms or legs are moving/kicking me. Braxton Hicks contractions have started, I am in no pain from them they are just uncomfortable.

I am enjoying the temporary job that I have been blessed with. I have 8 weeks to go and then hopefully a few weeks before our baby girl makes her arrival! We are busy getting her room finished before all the holidays start, when it is "complete" I will post some pictures.

Here is my 29 week picture:

Third Trimester

I am officially in the third trimester! I cannot believe that I am 2/3 of the way there. It really has gone by fast. With this new job, football season, showers, and holidays left, I know it will be time to meet Molly Grace before we know it!

We are so excited and are praying daily for a healthy baby girl and safe delivery. We cannot wait to see what she will look like. Will she have hair? What color will it be? Who will she look more like? How much will she weigh? All of those questions are talked about all the time around here. Less than 3 months to go!







Here is my most updated picture at 27 weeks and 2 days.

God is good!

I don't have a whole lot to post today so I'll just make this one a list form and will have a longer post next week!

-Win passed the Audit portion of the CPA exam and has 2 more parts to take! Not only did he pass, but he passed by a lot! (sorry just wanted to brag on him for a minute)

-Molly Grace moves/kicks more and more each day it seems like and I love it!

-We are headed to the beach tonight and will be there until Sunday. It is our last getaway before Molly Grace arrives and we are so excited!

-I have 4 baby showers on the calendar. :)

-I just got the news that I will be doing a long-term substiute position at Calera Middle School in their library and couldn't be more excited. I will start on Monday and will be done December 20th just in time to rest before baby girl gets here!


God is so good! All the time. Even when we think that we have done it all, God shows us that He is in control!

War Eagle!

Now that football season has begun we are staying very busy! We went to the first 2 home games and had a lot of fun despite the heat. Both games were hot & my feet were so swollen by the end of them.




After the first game, Win & I drove to Atlanta for the night to get away. It was much needed and we had such a low key night and went shopping the next day.




here is my 23 week picture



At 23 weeks I am:
-Definitely have pregnancy insomnia already. I am awake a LOT during the night. My thoughts are of course of Molly Grace and what she will look like, what she'll weigh, imagining her fingers and toes, etc.
-eating more. My appetite has picked up again.
-Growing. I am finally feeling like I am pregnant.
-Feeling Molly Grace moving all the time. I even feel her moving positions sometimes now. She likes to ball up in one area a lot and stay. Win loves feeling her kick and now we can see her kick sometimes if we watch my stomach.

Only 4 months to go!

I'll leave you with one last picture...This guy has no idea what's coming...

21 Weeks

We are very busy getting ready for Molly Grace to be here in a short 19 weeks! We are working hard in her room and are very excited how it is turning out.

I am feeling her move ALL the time now. She loves to move at night when I am trying to go to sleep so that I will stay awake just to keep feeling her! We have our next dr. appointment next week for the hearbeat and measurement.

Here is my 21 week picture taken on 8.28

Halfway

I am 20 weeks today! In some ways this pregnancy has gone by so fast, but then again it is creeping by. We are so ready to meet our sweet baby girl, come on January! I have been feeling pretty good and trying to exercise when I feel like it.




This picture was taken at 19 weeks and 5 days.

When we found out that we were having a girl, we wanted to do something special for Win's work. We made gender revealing cupcakes for Molly Grace.





We baked the cupcakes then poked a hole in the center of them for pink icing. Then we iced them in pink and blue so they had to eat them to find out what we were having. It was so fun doing this! (and his work seemed to like them as he only came back with 4!)

I have been feeling Molly Grace kick for about a week, as each week is getting more and more evident that it is really her kicking me! Win was able to feel her kicking last night!

It's a GIRL!!

I knew it all along, Win was determined it was a boy. Win and I, along with his parents and mine went to St. Vincent hospital for our ultrasound on Tuesday. The ultrasound tech was taking all the normal measurements and then turned the screen to me. She started showing us our baby's face, arms, heartbeat (which had dropped to 140), and feet. Then she said well, baby is not positioned where it needs to be and started poking my stomach and said, "roll over baby", and there it goes, rolling over! When she could finally tell she circled the area and said, "there's no doubt about it, those are definitely girl parts!"

After we heard that, Win and I have not stopped smiling! We are so in love with our precious baby girl already! We had a hard time thinking of names at first but when we said her name, we knew it was right. Her name is "Molly Grace" Anderson. I have always loved double names so our little girl will be called Molly Grace. Molly is a family name on Win's side. Molly was the name of Win's great grandmother and we are excited to use it for our sweet girl!


Our Internet has been out for a few days so as soon as it starts working I will post her pictures and more!

Have a blessed day!
