4D Ultrasound

Today we went and had a 4D ultrasound of Audrey Grace. It was so amazing! She cooperated very well, the ultrasound tech was even impressed. I was worried she wasn't going to let us see her face because in every ultrasound we have had her hands are in front of her face. I will admit I drank a little coffee before we went in hopes that she would be moving around a little more. It worked!! She moved all over and showed off for us. She opened her mouth, smiled and even opened her eyes once. We were able to get lots of great pictures of her face and several of her hands and feet. I have not really been emotional during this pregnancy and haven't cried when I have seen her on the ultrasounds before, but this time was different. As soon as she changed the screen from regular ultrasound to 4D, I immediately shed a few tears of joy. It was so special to see her and really get to see her features. She really looks like a human now! It is truly a miracle...God is good!

Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Louise, Amy, Lores, Lucy, Laura Lea, Annie, Terrie (my friend from work), Ryan and I were all there to see her in 4D. Everyone in the room immediately agreed that she seems to look like Ryan. Take a look and see what you think...

Our Sweet Baby Girl's face

We can't wait to meet her and see if these picutres will resemble her or not!

Room Painted (check)

Last weekend while I was in Columubs, Ryan and Annie painted the nursery. It looks GREAT! I am so happy with the way the color turned out. We went with a color called mint ice cream! Ryan has never painted a room, so I was a little nervous and asked Annie to supervise! They really did such a great job. I was also able to pick up the curtians and pillow shams we had made for her room and everything looks so good together. I am glad we started this process a few months in advance so we can get everything just the way we want it before she gets here. We decided to keep a full size bed in the nursery, so this weekend I am going to get that bed put together with new comforter and pillows and get the curtians hung. Hopefully next weekend we can get the baby furniture in there so I can begin organizing all of her things. I am going to wait and post pictures once we get everything set up because at the moment it is a little messy in there.

First Baby Shower

Saturday we had our first baby shower in Columubs! The shower was given by my hometown best friends. They did a wonderful job getting everything just perfect. The food was wonderful and it was great to get to celebrate this exciting time with hometown friends and my family. I am so grateful for such wonderful people in my life. We got lots of great gifts to help dress, entertain and take care of our little girl when she gets here in May! Books, picture albums, visual baby monitor, space saver high chair, blankets, boppy pillow, robe and bath towels, diaper bag, several cute outfits and a big basket with all of the necessities (diapers, lotion, gas drops, motrin, tylenol ect...) are some of the gifts we got.

Laura Lea even got to enjoy some of the food!

Mrs Carol Lott (my friend Emily's mom) painted this precious picture for her room, and for those of you who don't know her name will be Audrey Grace!


My helpers...Lores and Lucy

The Hostesses and me: Emily Walton, Anna Elizabeth Wiygul, me, Nichole Burris, Amy Sharp and Kristi Chopin. Shelley Emerson also helped but wasn't able to be there :(

If you notice, Emily and Anna are also pregnant! They are both due in April and both having little boys. It will be so much fun to watch our kids grow up together. I keep telling them their little boys are going to be fighting over my angel :)
