Here are pictures of the gifts we got from our first baby shower.

This is James building the crib.

Still building the crib and sticking his tongue out at me.
He didn't even break a sweat. What a hard worker.
Still acting like it was SUPER hard work.
I told James to not be in the picture so he hid under the crib. Can you see him?

Finished crib without James in the picture.

All the gifts we got from the first baby shower. What a great family. I really thank them for what they did for us. Now we can have Lexi today and not worry about that stuff. The only problem will be the fact that I still have a few weeks left before she is suppose to be due.

First Baby Shower

Well, we just had our first baby shower and we got a lot of great stuff. As soon as James builds the crib I will take pictures of what we got and post them on here and on facebook. I just had to thank family. They are great people.

Fun dream

I had a dream last night that I hope comes true but at the same time doesnt. I dreamt that Lexi came to us on Dec.21. As some of you know, this isn't a great day for me. I have lost three people that meant a lot to me on this exact day. Also, it is a day that I saw my Grandma Holt for the last time. I want this dream to come true because it will be cool to have something good happen to me on this day but at the same time Lexi will be like 3 weeks early. She was healthy and everything so there is no worries there. The hardest thing is just knowing that she might come to us early. I would love for her to be here early but it would make that a very special day for me. I guess we will see what happens.

We got our scanner working

We finally got our scanner working so I scanned the last pictures of Lexi that we got from an ultrasound. They aren't the most recent but maybe we will get those on our next one. But here she is, the beautiful one she is.

This is her arm.
Here is her beautiful face.Here is one of her leg that LOVES to kick me.Here is the first profile shot. She loved giving the profile to us during the ultrasound. She didn't want us to know what she is.Here is the second profile shot.This is where we found out that she was a girl. It took us over 30 minutes to get her to give us a shot. She is already lady like. Man I love it.

We are doing great

Had another appointment on Monday and everything is going great. Lexi is growing wonderfully and she has a normal heart rate. We are able to breathe about her now. The doctor is happy with us about how well she is doing. As long as I keep to taking my drugs then everything will be just fine. We are taking a Lamaze class in December. Already am signed up for it and everything so I am not worried about that. Our next appointment is on September 16th so we are going to check my thyroid again and see how things are going. We are also going to make an appointment for our next ultrasound. We are getting close and getting happier about Lexi joining our family.

Not much longer

Well, we have hit the point where we are going to see the doctor every two weeks now. My thyroid has gone down a bit and I don't have diabetes, but I do have low iron. Now I have another pill I have to take. I am a pharmacy now. Lucky me. I thought this won't hit until I was a grandparent. Oh well, teach James early. Our next appointment is Nov. 2nd. We also went in for an ultrasound and everything looks great. She is growing just great. She is almost 3 pounds. She wasn't very happy either because we woke her up. She was kicking me up a storm. Not a happy baby. But good news is that we are on WIC now. That will help a lot. We were the last people there on Wednesday night. It was super quiet and the staff was cleaning when we were leaving. At least we have some stuff to get food. I will be eating it mostly but I don't think James is too upset. He seems to be handling it ok right now. We are excited for Thanksgiving. It will be our first as a married couple. I will be cooking dinner, which I am nervous about, but I am happy too. After Thanksgiving, we turn our heads to Christmas, which I will be making homemade potato soup and having bread bowls. A tradition I want to do. My mama started it a few years ago and I love it. The soup is so good. I just hope I can make it as well as she does. I guess we will see. At least I can call her and ask for help. She won't be able to be here but I think with her help and her being on the phone, I will be able to do it. This will be the first Christmas alone as a married couple. We are going to start our own traditions which I am happy about. But that is what is going on right now. Nothing really new yet. Hoping for pictures soon still. I need to get over this extra fat thing. I know, it is good fat. If I hear it one more time, I just might scream and I don't think James will be very happy about that. Anyways, I will keep you posted as time goes on.

Busy week

Well, I had a busy week last week. I have a cold and I had a fever at one point. I am fine now, just trying to get rid of this stupid cold, but good. James is still looking for a job. We had a few that we would be happy with but he took a little to long to fill out the application, not his fault though. He had to get a number to where he is working now and by the time he got that the jobs we were looking at were filled. He is still looking though. We are not going to give up any time soon. We have an appointment for an ultrasound today so we will see what happens. My next doctor's appointment is on Monday and we have an appointment for WIC on Wednesday. Very busy schedule right now. It won't slow down anytime soon, I know. But at least this I can handle. I am happy about. As long as I don't get nailed with something huge then I will be fine. I won't lose it to stress if nothing huge happens. At least right now, I am fine. Anyways, that is our life right now. We are just taking the punches that it throws at us and we are growing stronger. At least we can grow from everything happening right now. It is nice to know.
