1st day of kindergarten!

I can't believe it! My niece started kindergarten today!! She looked so cute and did so well. When I walked in the classroom, she was sitting so quielty and coloring away. I can't wait to hear how it went!

Such a sweet girl!

22 week update & pic

I had my 22 week appointment this morning and everything went great!! I just love walking out of the doctor's office with positive news!! :) Madison had a strong heart rate of 150!! They measured my belly for the first time today and it's measuring right on track. My next appointment is in 1 month and then I will start going every 2 weeks. I can't believe how fast it's going!

Here's a 22 week pic!

So sweet!

Look what John's roommate did to welcome me to Louisiana for the weekend! He did this with NO help from a woman. It was such a special greeting. He even bought a helium tank and blew all the balloons up himself! What a great guy!!

It's a girl!!

It's official! Poppy is a GIRL! John and I are so excited! We had such a great appointment this morning. We were told that everything is measuring perfect and her due date is still set for December 21st. The technician waited till the end to tell us the sex! Let's just say our little girl was not sitting lady like and it was easy to tell!! :) Below are a few pictures of...

(A.K.A. Poppy)

We were told that she was not sucking her thumb... but I really think she is!

P.S. It looks like 73% of the people that voted were RIGHT! :)

20 weeks - halfway point!

My baby has hit a growth spurt in the last 2 weeks!! :) I think you can tell the growth better with a shirt on!
