It's Shower Time!

My two beautiful sisters-in-law, Holly and Colby, gave me a Baby Shower on Sunday. Ann Elise was definitely showered with tons of gifts and love. We had a great time and wonderful food.
Thanks again ladies!

Here we are posing in front of the food. (Of course)

Colby is on the left and Holly on the right.

Bet you can't guess who is in the middle. I know what you are thinking, but it's really not Shamu.

The lovely and delicious cake.
Me surrounded by all Ann Elise's gifts. Notice the cake in my hand. Hey, I am not going to pass up a perfectly good piece or pieces of cake pregnant or not.

As The World Turns

No, I am not a huge soap opera fan. I am referring to Ann Elise's world. She has turned head down and I don't think she is liking her new digs very much. She is constantly pushing and kicking like she is trying to give herself more room. And in the process she is making my pelvic area extremely sore. Ouch!
As I was getting ready for bed last night my dear husband began to laugh. I gave him the 'glaring eye' and he proceeded to make matters worse by stating that I was probably as big around as I was tall. He then took it a step further and got out the measuring tape. I mean I know he is a carpenter but does he really have to measure EVERYTHING? Anyway, he measured my belly. Guys, I am almost FOUR FEET around. YIKES! Can you picture that? I am only 5' 3" so I really am almost as round as I am tall.
Matt says not to worry though...I'll end up equalling my height before she makes her debut.
Gee, thanks Honey!

And the Countdown begins......

I went back to the doctor yesterday, had another ultrasound done and got a tentative c-section date scheduled. Drumroll please.........MARCH 26th! Wow! That is soon. Don't you think that is soon? I mean, that is only 40 days away. But I guess if Noah could withstand 40 days and 40 nights of rain I can prepare for one little baby in 40 days. Right? I mean, I'm definitely no Noah here.
Anyway, Ann Elise is currently weighing in at 4 lbs. 11 oz. She is getting so big. The ultrasound tech even pointed out to us that she has HAIR!!!!! What?! My child has hair? There must be some mistake. My boys only had a little peach fuzz. Now that I am all excited about her having hair she will probably lose it before she even gets here, but that is okay, I love bald-headed babies just as much. She is lying in an awkward position known as the transverse position, meaning she is lying sideways with her legs beneath her and her feet next to her face so Dr. Slocum said it was kind of odd. (From what I have read, most transverse babies are feet/face up not down.) Hopefully she will turn to a more normal position before too much longer.
We took the boys with us this time and they were just amazed. Corbin recognized the spine and told the ultrasound tech what it was and Matthew chimed in that it looked like an electric eel. So I guess I have a little eel squirmming around in there.
