Early, On Time, or Late???

For some reason, I have a feeling that this sweet little girl is going to come early... why?, I don't know. I officially have 26 days until her due date. Justin seems to be calling September 9th as her arrival date... I say September 6th (Labor Day~hahaha!)... Everyone asks me how I'm feeling, I just say "ready". I can tell she has "dropped" and is getting in position and lots of people tell me that they can tell too. I have loved every minute of being pregnant up until this past week. I was MISERABLE! I had the worst heartburn ever, I was HOT all the time, and slept maybe 3 hours a night. I was very uncomfortable. I could hardly breathe. And so far, this week has been the same. I see sleeping in the recliner as a possibilty. But on a positive note, we are packed and ready to go~ diaper bag(s) packed, car seat installed, our bag packed, and several other necessities are ready and waiting. Just keep on thinking positive thoughts and sending them our way... maybe she will get the hint and come on!

this post isn't about Greenlee or being pregnant or anything like that.

So if you read the post about Justin and his mysterious illness, you know that we've had all kinds of tests ran and all with the same results~ NORMAL! So, now he's on an "I'm losing weight, working out, & eating healthy" frenzy... 25 pounds down and guess what- yep- no pain! I just hope that he can help me get this baby weight off when the time comes. I don't mind the eating healthy part~ it's good for all of us. He walks 3 miles everyday! If I walk out the door I swell (feet, toes, fingers) and am miserable for the rest of the day. I can't workout like he is because he's doing that "Insanity" workout DVD with his brother. I am so proud of him!!! I absolutely have the BEST HUSBAND IN THE WORLD!

And on another post~ I mentioned that one of my best childhood friends is pregnant... Well, on her birthday (August 4th) she went and had a 3D ultrasound and found out that she's having a girl... I can't wait. Now our little girls can play together just like we did when we were little. I've been joking around with her about picking out a name, cause when we were little we had our favorites~ Amy, Haley, Jessica, etc (these are SO not our favorite names anymore)... But instead she has decided to name her little girl Gracie Lynn. Gracie is after her MawMaw that has past several years ago and Lynn is her own middle name. CONGRATS Steph, Scott, & Peyton! We can't wait to meet her in January (maybe the 29th??? I don't mind sharing my birthday)

Counting Down...

The showers are over... All these presents are put away somewhere~ nursery, bathroom, spare bedroom... You name it, I think Greenlee got it.

Now that we have entered the August, I have officially started a countdown... we have 6 1/2 weeks left until our "Little Green Pea's" official due date. I don't know who's more ready for her to be here, me or Justin. It will be kind of strange not being pregnant, but I will get to see a precious gift from God. I just can't wait to see who she looks like the most~ me or Justin or a combination of both. Justin is so ready to hold her it is hilarious... He says it's his turn since I've been holding her this whole time. He did finally get to see her doing her gymnastics in my belly the other night and I think he got a little teary eyed (which is fine... this is his daughter). I'm sure that's not the last time I see him teary-eyed when it comes to Greenlee. One thing that I will NOT miss is the heartburn~ it's getting a little out of hand...

Stay tuned... not sure when I'll be back to give updates... the next one may be when Greenlee gets here and I can show her off...

Great Photographer!

Here lately, I've wanted to capture every moment of being pregnant. This has been an experience like no other... the lack of morning sickness (never did get sick), the exhaustion, the HEARTBURN, the kicks & flips, etc.. So we decided to call on our friend and photographer, Paige, to take some maternity pictures. So the question was, where to take them? We used Heritage Park in McDonough for engagement pictures 2 years ago, so that was out. Paige didn't want me on the rocks at Indian Springs~ they were a little slippery. At High Falls, we would have to walk a good ways to get to the perfect place. So, after seeing a friend of ours have family pictures taken at Dausett Trails, we picked there. This place has a little bit of every setting you would want~ nature, rustic, water, etc.. She did an amazing job. We've posted several on our Facebook page (under photos). There were tons taken, but the ones of my bare belly didn't make the public viewing cut... They are here at our house and for us to see... If you are ever in need of a great photographer, get in touch with me and I can get you in touch with Paige.
