33 weeks
Hey Sweet Baby Girl -
Yesterday I had yet another dr appt where she would listen and just smile when I read her off my list of aches and pains and weird things happening to me. I told her that you will have days when you move like crazy, then the very next day you just take it easy. She laughed and said we all have days like that. I didn't really learn anything new at this appointment. She did tell me that my blood pressure has been border line high for the past couple of visits and that she will start watching me very close from here on out to make sure it doesn't get out of control. It was a good visit, one more two week appt, then we start going every week!
As you and I were leaving, she looked at me and said with a huge smile on her face, "It's almost time!" I had forgot that she said that until now. But she's so right. Oh my goodness, it IS almost time! Your Daddy and I are getting so anxious about "your big day", your arrival date. It is going to be such a great day and a day that we will never forget. I pray that God will continue to allow you to grow strong and healthy (inside and outside of my belly) and that he will prepare your Daddy and I to be the perfect parents for you. He already knows everything about you. Everything that your Daddy and I can't wait to learn. He loved you first. He created you. And He choose us to love, protect and raise you here. We are so excited and can't wait to see you in person in less than 7 weeks!
Well, I better go for now, your Daddy has been all over me about packing my hospital bag. He has had several dreams now that "your big day" was here and my bag wasn't even packed. So, I'll be working on packing the bag tonight as much as I can just to be ready in advance for "your big day". We love you Baby Girl! - your Momma & Daddy

He's on a Mission
This was the conversation my nephews had with my mom the other night when she pulled up in the drive way and they noticed I was there.
Drew: Jill's here!!!
Caden: Jill's here?
Drew: Jill and the baby are here!!!
Caden: Jill brought the baby?
Nana: Well, yeah, but she hasn't had her yet. She's still in Jill's belly.
Caden: UGH.....we gotta help that baby get out of there.
Caden is on a Mission......He wants Baby Girl OUT of my belly!

What a weekend...
Friday we drove up to Oklahoma to attend Stan's cousin Maston's Wedding. Maston and Erin had a small and precious ceremony that was perfectly them! We had such a great time. Congratulations Maston and Erin!
Then Saturday, we went to the OU vs. TCU game in Norman. This was my first OU game in the flesh. OU is always on in our house when they play. But being there in real life is much different. Especially, if you are 32 1/2 weeks pregnant and everything in life is overwhelming.
Here's Stan with his nephew, Wesley. Wesley was dressed the part of a typical OU fan.
Here I am with Wesley. Notice how I turned the cooler into a chair for the time being.
Inside the Stadium.
We are back home now and I can actually say that I survived the weekend. I was a little nervous about going to the game and someone figuring out that I had been born and raised in Texas and because of that being trampled to death. Also little nervous about the heat and all the walking. But, I made it. My feet are still 1 1/2 sizes larger than they were before we headed out of the state, but hopefully the swelling will go down this week.

Mama - I was going to call you and tell you that we were at the game and to be watching for us on TV and that I was one of the girls in red. But, I thought about it and realized that every girl in the stadium (besides the 15 TCU fans in purple) was wearing red. I knew you would never find me. Plus the fact that I was one of the ONLY attenders who sat the entire game versus standing. Oh well, I was there. Maybe next time I'll try to be a little more TV visible. I'll at least try to stand some next time.

Happy Birthday Drew!!
Today is Drew's 8th Birthday!! I can't believe he is 8 years old today. Seems just like yesterday that we were watching synchronized swimming in the 2000 Olympics and David came out to tell us that he was born. His party will be this weekend, but I won't be able to make it. So, we had to throw him a mini party today. On "his day" as he calls it. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!!!
Just what he wanted, Mario Sluggers for the Wii. Please pay no attention to all the shoes in the background. We don't have to utilize closets at Nana's house.
Look how sweaty he was. All those candles made it hot in the house. Actually Nana's air went out and we had to make an emergency call to Mr. Air Conditioner Fixer.
The mini Birthday Party was great! We love you Drew!!!
Yes, once again, I re-gifted the smiley face box!

Baby Girl's 3rd Shower at 32 Weeks
Today was a big day!! We officially turned 32 weeks and my office gave us Baby Girl's 3rd shower. It was so sweet and we got some the best stuff. The girls, and guys, I work with are so thoughtful. Stan and I are so blessed to have such great people in our lives.
This photo had to make the blog. I LOVE cutting cakes. I'm the designated cake-cutter around here. So, there were no questions about who would cut the cake at my shower......ME!!
Cindy gave me the cutest wine glass. It says things like, "nurse this", "Mommy's pacifier" and "I sooooo need a drink". It was really cute!
Here's the Lamp for Baby Girl's room!
Most photos of opening the gifts do NOT flatter me at all. Look at the crazy facial expressions I make. I'm holding up the cutest little church socks and hair bows.
The gift that kept giving.....Lisa gave me this basket and it was FULL of goodies. She had to put it back together for us after we went through it.
Again, look at the face.....or faces I should say. This was a blow up duck that sits in the bathtub and you give the baby a bath in it. It also makes a quacking sound. :)
Thank you to everyone who took time out of their day today to come to my shower. We really appreciate your generosity. I can't wait for all of you to meet Baby Girl!....after we get to meet her that is! Thanks again!!
I'll use this picture as my 32 week belly shot!

Baby Girl's 2nd Shower
On Sunday we had shower #2 for Baby Girl. Jessica organized this shower with four of my friends. It was so girlie and so fun. It was at my cousin Leslie's beautiful house. They did such a perfect job on everything. We are so blessed to have these girls in our lives. I can't wait for Baby Girl to meet all of them. They all love her so much already!
Then it was on to opening gifts. Nana, my mom, got Baby Girl the cutest little lady bug scooter to ride on.
Thanks to Tracy little girl has received her first 'organic' toys.
A stuff Pea in a Pod, Carrot and Broccoli. I think Tracy is afraid I won't teach her what those vegetables are!
Lori made the baby some BLING-BLING. Crystal covered bottle and pacifiers. Baby Girl will be blinding everyone in church with her new sparkles.
He-he-he....look at Jess's face. I think she is trying to remember if she registered for that. Butt Paste. Then look at mine. Thank goodness, I'm covering most of it with the box. My mouth is a big as the Butt Paste. And sweet Tracy, crackin' up at both of us!
Baby Girl's Pa-Pa gave her this little "lady bug" bank. With Money in it!
Then the tear-jerker gift. My mother-in-law gave Baby Girl a Heirloom basket. It contained a baby ring that belonged to Stan's Grandmother born on 4/3/25, a blanket that Stan was brought home from the hospital in, an outfit that he wore during his first winter, a spoon that was used when he was learning how to eat, and a teddy bear that was given to Harriett at her baby shower for Stan. It was just beyond sweet. Here are a few pictures. I cried the 'ugly' cry the whole time, but I just had to let it all out. I was going to explode with emotion from the day.
Here's the little ring worn by Baby Girl's Great-Grandmother.
It was an amazing day. Stan and I had so much fun going through all the presents again when I got home. He made the comment, "this little girl now has more clothes than you and I combined." Thank you all so much!!!! We truly have the best friends and family on the planet.
Here are the hostesses:
back row, LadyL's...Leslie, Lori & Liz
first row, Preggies....Jessica, me & Niki
I had my very first Sprinkles Cupcake at this shower! Yum!!!
