Belly Shots

We went to the Old Mill today and had some belly shot/Christmas pictures made. One of my co-workers, Leslie, met us and took these beautiful pictures! I am showing you guys just a few, she took a lot more! Thank you Leslie!!

More Pics of Emerson!!

Isn't she sweet!! Look at her lil' booty!!

She looks so comfy!!!

Do you see the one arm in front of her face?

Look at her sweet little nose and mouth!!

She is so sweet!

She is smiling here!(above)
I love the profile pictures!(below)

We were able to get some more pics of Emerson today!! So, last time we had the 3D ultrasound done she had her feet up by her head. This time she had her hands crossed right in front of her face but we got a few good pics!! Oh, I almost forgot to tell you...she weighs 2lbs 12oz!!!

My Sweet Babies!!!

Do I have to say anything more??? Aren't they the sweetest??? I am surprised they stayed still long enough for us to take some pictures!!!

Week 28

Well, Emerson has really been moving this week! I just love it!! We have a doctors appointment on the 22nd. I don't think anything special takes place. Probably weigh me, take me blood pressure, do the doppler and answer our questions. We may get to have another 3D ultrasound this week. I will keep you posted and you better believe I will show you guys some pics of our beautiful princess!! What is exciting is that these images will show us what she will look like!! It is sooo exciting!!

Go Hogs Go!!

We went to Fayetteville this weekend and luckily Gregg found us some tickets to the game Saturday morning!! And what a game it was!!! We stayed with some friends of ours, Lindsay and Garrett. Here are some pics of the game and us tailgating!

Go Hogs!!!

Week 27

Yep, Emmie is already 27 weeks old!! And look at the belly, I didn't realize it looks that big!! But that is a good thing!!! 3 more months and she will be here! Can you believe it??? We have got to work on her room!! I hope to have pictures of a finished room after the weekend of the 18th. My plan is to get it cleaned out and painted by then.

Not much to tell you about. Some changes I have noticed include...a little swelling in my feet and hands, my stomach gets really tight after I eat, it is getting hard to bend over, leg cramps. But I have had a really easy pregnancy so I am not complaining!! I promise!!

Someone from Texas Loves Me

We got this cute little onesie in the mail today!! Gregg's sister, Ashley, moved to Texas about 6 months ago. Emerson's Aunt Ashley has really been spoiling her!! Emmie has received a LOT of cute clothes from her!! Thanks Ashwee!!

26 Weeks Part 2

Some co-workers said I should post the belly with this shirt. So, here you go!!

I passed!!!

Good news!! I had the gestational diabetes test today and I passed!!! I don't have gestational diabetes!! I was in the dr's office all morning and they had to draw my blood 4 different times. But, I am glad no gestational diabetes!! So, thank you to everyone who said a little prayer!!

Today I am 26 weeks so here is the weekly picture...

Emmie's First Halloween Costume

Happy Halloween!! We decided after seeing all the cute little tricker treaters that Emerson needed a costume!! I hope I didn't scare you guys by showing the belly!! Was her costume a Trick or Treat????

Go Hogs!!

Well, here are some pics from this weekend. To bad I forgot that I had the camera when we were tailgating!!! But we at least got some!!!

Week 25

So, I always have Gregg take a few different pictures to give me some choices for the post. Look at how different my belly looks in these different angles. I look sooo much bigger on the right!!

Well, we had this months dr's appointment on Monday. I had to do the glucose test. Your blood sugar has to be under 120 and mine was 130.

So, I go back this Wednesday for a 3 hour test. PLEASE say a little prayer that I pass and that I don't have gestational diabetes!! I am really not that worried. I have been checking my blood sugar at work and so far the highest it has been has been 101. Also, they told me I gained 11 lbs this month!! It took me 5 months to gain about 10 lbs and then I gained 11 lbs in 1 month!! I am trying to eat a little better because I was eating crap! I don't want to continue to gain like that!!

I feel her move all the time. Gregg has felt her a couple more times! I love feeling her move it is the most amazing feeling! It is like little "hello mommy" from her!!

This past weekend Sarah and I went to a bunch of garage sales. We had a blast!! I got Emmie lots of books, including my favorite...Green Eggs and Ham!! I found a bookshelf and a little recliner for when she gets a little bigger. Oh, and the deal of the day...a brand new bouncy seat for $5. It still had its tags on it!! We found some accessories at Hobby Lobby that will match her room perfectly. I got the fabric for her bedding last week and we are going to take it to Nana this weekend. I am ready to get her room done!! My vision of the room is so cute!! BUT...we have to get started. Every time I go in there, I look around and don't know where to start. We still have to pack everything up! I was looking at the calendar and we have something going on every weekend until Dec 16th!! We will have to start packing up and painting during the week I guess!!

We are going to the Razorback game this Saturday!! I am so pumped and ready to go to a game! I love Little Rock games and tailgating!! We always have soooo much fun!! I hope everyone has a fun and safe weekend!! And...Go Hogs Go!!!

Happy Birthday Gregg!!!

It is Gregg's 29th birthday today!! Happy Birthday baby!!! We are going to go out to eat at Bosco's tomorrow night. I think he has had a good day...he had a birthday potluck at work today and the phone hasn't quit ringing!! I love you baby!! I hope you have had a wonderful day!!

It is that time again....Emerson is 24 weeks!! Here are the pics...

She's a Movin'

Last night Emerson was very active. I have Gregg put his hand on my belly all the time but she is never strong enough for him to feel. BUT...last night he felt her!!! We were both so excited!! And then, later on, I saw her kick or move or something. The left side of my belly moved!! It was the coolest thing!! I hope everyone is having a good weekend!! It is cloudy and kind of cold outside. I am thinking it will be a good day to make some chili!!

Playing Catch Up

Well, the last week and a half has been a busy one! I will try to catch you up...

On Friday, 9-29-06, Taylor (Gregg's cousin) was in a car accident that took her life. She was such a beautiful and sweet girl! She had a smile that could light up a room! She was passionate about softball and cheerleading. And had won many awards in both. She was suppose to part of the Gillett Homecoming court this past Friday. They did a great tribute to her. They read all of her accomplishment and had a chair with her Homecoming pillow in it. I ask for everyone to keep Taylor's mom and family in your prayers! She was a joy in all of our lives!!

Saturday, 9-30-06, Rosco turned 2!!! Happy Belated Birthday, Booger!!! We didn't get to do much. I was off on Friday, so I had made him a carrot peanut butter cake with cottage cheese icing!! YUMMM!! Well, to the dogs at least!! Don't worry it is doggy safe!! And he got some tennis balls for his b-day, which are his FAVORITE!!











This past weekend was Gregg's 10 year class reunion! It was fun!! We went to Homecoming in good ole Gillett. On Saturday, we grilled hamburgers at Arkansas Post and then had dinner at his dad's restaurant. Oh, did I tell ya that he graduated with 19 people!!! We had fun!!

Yesterday, we had a 3D ultrasound done!! It was amazing!! Of course we just think Miss Emerson is just beautiful!! She is a little acrobat also. She had her feet by her head the entire time! She weighs 1.4 lbs!! They usually do these ultrasounds at 28 weeks and she will be 23 weeks on Wednesday. We may get to have it done again then!! Hope you enjoy all the pics!! I will go ahead and throw in a belly shot. I guess I am showing, I had 4 strangers say something to me today!! It is about time!! I am happy to show her off!!

In memory of

Taylor LeeAnn Carter

We Love You and We Will Miss You Deeply!

~I'm Free~
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back, and left it all.

I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy,
a friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I've savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee,
God wanted me now, he set me free.
