Baby Shower #2

At the beginning of June we had Portia's second baby shower.  It was hosted by Ashley at my parents house.  It was a lot of fun and it was soo good to see everyone!  Portia got soo many great things...tons of bows, her bedding, tons of clothes, and all kinds of essential goodies.  We are so thankful to such great friends and family.

27 Week Appointment

Well so far, everything has been going great.  We had a great 27 week appointment, Portia weighs 2.7 lbs and looks great!  Ha, we finally got some good ultrasound pictures this time :-)  She has been growing and moving around all the time!  It's soo neat to feel her move!  We are almost finished with her nursery.  We just have the ceiling to paint and then put her furniture together!  And I will post nursery pictures as soon as it all comes together.

So our next appointment will be in 3 weeks instead of 4 now!  I just can't believe she will be here in just a few months!  The time has truly flown by.  June is going to be a busy month....we have my 2nd baby shower in Broken Arrow, all the baby classes, and maternity pictures!  So looking forward to it all :-)

Enjoy the new pictures of Portia!

Baby Shower Time!

Last week I had my very first baby shower!!  It was out in Collinsville with Bill's family!  Sue, Bill's mom, put on a great shower and of course Portia was spoiled!  She had a beautiful cake, that was very yummy, and she received sooooo many clothes and gifts!  Some pictures are below and you can see how big she is!!  At 27 weeks.

Happy 6 Months!

Wow!  I can't believe that I am already 6 months pregnant!  It seems like yesterday Bill and I were finding out that we were being blessed with a pregnancy!  But we have came a long way.  We painted Portia's room this past weekend and we are so excited to set up her furniture and finish the final touches over the next couple of weeks.  We decided to paint her room with a teal accent wall, which teal is one of our wedding colors, we wanted to have something fun and bright that wasn't pink :-) And I will post nursery pics as soon as it starts to come together.

We went to the doctor on the 18th, and once again Portia was being shy for the camera :-)  So I don't have any new ultrasound pictures worth sharing, she was all over the place, but she is doing great!  She's growing, LOL you can tell by looking at me, and she's moving around all the time!  It's so crazy to see my stomach just bounce and pop all day long, but it's so neat to feel her move!  It makes me smile and so happy every time I feel her move!  It makes everything so real!

We feel so blessed to be pregnant and to have a precious baby girl on the way, we would appreciate your continued prayers because Portia is an answer to so many of our prayers. We are looking forward to meeting her in just 3 months!  Here is a picture of me at 6 months (24 weeks and 2 days).

Half Way There!

So it has been awhile since my last post....I had a five week break between my ultrasound appointments.  I am now 20 weeks and 1 day today!!  Yea, half way there :-)  We are getting ready for Portia's arrival....we have cleared out the two front rooms to consolidate stuff so we can have a nursery! We just picked up her furniture this weekend, her bedding is in the making (courtesy of my mom and grandma), and we have started to get items from her registry!  We have been so blessed!  I don't have any new ultrasound pictures to post....she was being shy this ultrasound, keeping her back and butt to the screen the entire time. But she is doing great!  We did our big 20 week ultrasound last week, with all the measurements, and everything is looking great!  I have been feeling her move around more frequently, which is so neat, and Bill got to feel her move for the first time today!  He is soo excited!  Below are some pictures of me and Portia at 19 and 20 weeks.  The second one is from my best friend, Heather's baby shower this past Saturday.  She is at 33 weeks and I'm at 20 weeks.  She's having a girl also, so they will be best friends :-)  More to come soon!

It's Offical....Baby Bennett is a Girl!!

I had my 14 week ultrasound on February 14th and Dr. Nilson confirmed again that it is a girl!!!  We are so excited!  Her heartbeat was 157 and she is about 3 1/2 inches....so she's growing!  And you can see in the ultrasound below that she already has a good looking profile!  Last week Bill and I went on a company paid trip to Puerto Rico.  It was a blast!  We all 3 had  a great time in the sun and on the beach.

Snowy Days

It has been snowing off and on in Oklahoma the past week!  With 14-20 inches of snow in some cities throughout the Tulsa area.  These are some pictures from our house!  With being cooped up in the house for several days we took a baby bump picture :-)  This is me at 13 weeks.  So last night I felt something really neat....I felt Baby Bennett move for the first time! It felt like a little bouncing ball!
