baby bump

My friend Missy was so sweet and came over after work last night and took maternity pictures. Here are a few of the ones she has posted so far...more to come! (you can also see more on facebook)I LOVE David's face in this picture!
Who's belly is bigger???





Only 13 more days till we get to see our beautiful girl!!! I can't wait! (by the way we have already set pictures with Missy for Ava's first photo shoot!)

Mark your calenders and get your holding arms ready!

We went back to the Dr today, and well she is still in the same position. So Oct. 19th (2 weeks from today) Miss Ava Kate will be showing her pretty face to this world! The Dr. already has one c-section at 7:30 in the morning and we will be right after that. Wow I still think it is crazy that I have a baby in my tummy and now I'm in over load of thinking that this baby is going to be coming in 2 weeks! So much to do so little time.

Dittos for Kiddos

Penny is helping David get ready for holding baby Ava. She is such a daddy's girl!

This is how my husband shows me that he loves me...I came home to a trail of double stuffed oreos (a current craving) that was leading to the couch that had my pillow and blanket waiting for me...as well as a Gilmore Girl dvd ready to play! Isn't he the best!!!! (I think so) Porry penny was stuck in her kennel begging to get out so she could eat all of those wonderful oreos.
This is me after a long day of work...and 36 weeks pregnant! I can't believe that she will be here in 2 1/2 weeks!
Tonight David and I ventured out to Dittos for Kiddos. Abilene has a semi-annual resale kid sale. Oh my we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into. We were shopping for a swing, bouncy seat, tummy time/floor play mat thing, and a high chair. We walked in and within about 10 mins we were in line buying our swing and bouncy seat. Oh my soo much pressure! We got what I think was a awesome deal both items were more than 50% off if we were to buy them new, but yet they are still in great shape! Go us!!!

This is Penny checking out our new buy...trying to figure out what the heck this pink thing is and if it was for her or not...oh poor thing she has no idea what is coming!
This is our new to us swing...only $60! It even swings in 2 different directions!

Our new bouncy seat...we got for $30 and at the stores they are $59.99!!!

This is David and I slowly watching our house fill up with baby stuff and realizing holy cow we are having a baby in 2 1/2 weeks!!!

Ava Kate

So we went to the Dr. on Monday. The ultrasound showed that Ava is in Frank Breech...meaning that her head and feet are both up and only her butt is down. I could of gone into the hospital this week and try to have the baby, but we really only had one thing going for us for making it about a 30% chance of working, with lots of risk factors including having a baby that day ( that means she would of came today!!!) umm that is a little scary and I am just now ok with having her in 4 weeks so we have decided that for us it is best just to wait and pray she turns on her own, or to just have a c-section 1 week early. I think I can handle having her in 3 weeks...I think! Some days I think I am still in denial about the whole thing, then the next day I can't wait to have her with us.

I'm slowly starting to nest and have plans to deep clean the livingroom today. I might even water my poor plant that looks so sad. But I'm still up for anyone who wants to come clean my house for me!!!

Ok side note that I think is super funny...Penny came and got in bed with me this morning when David left for school...I got up over a hour ago...umm she is still in the bed! What a lazy dog!!!

Happy Birthday Roby!

Happy Birthday Roby!!! Today was Roby CoC's 100th B-day. This is our little church that David is working as the part time youth minister. It was fun watching and listening to all the stories about the church. After they celebration we had a little baby shower...once again David and I are so blessed! (I forgot to take my camera to the shower)



This elephant is sooo cute! It has poles in it's legs so that when she is older she can sit on him! How fun!!!
This is my attempt to get yall to see how big it is with Penny next to it...she wasn't going to have anything to do with it...Sadly the first picture she started in...I hope I get better at action shots!

Work baby shower!

Warning there are a TON of pictures in this post and they are in the opposite order but yall can just pretend they aren't.

Today the ladies at work gave us a baby shower. I am so blessed to work with such loving women! It amazes me how blessed David and I are. Thank you sooo much!!! This is "Ava" in her new jacket and boots! Isn't it the cutest jacket ever! This is my attempt display all of the great cute gifts that we were given.

All the girls at work went in together and got us a really pretty Pack-n-play!
The really cute cupcake cake
Meet the wonderful ladies I work with (some of them)...Me and Missy...she is going to be our personal photographer!
Carolyn and Me (man my face is starting to get fat!!!)
Me and Cory...she has been stock piling since we found out we were having a baby girl! I'm really going to miss her!
And the blog world can finally meet my "twin" I have been following her for the past 7 years and people for some reason can't tell us apart!
Like I said they are in the wrong order...here I am opening gifts.
Purple White FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT haha...Ava's cheerleading outfit!
Ok so new subject....Ava has to have a cowboy outfit to watch the games in...well we found this little outfit instead...I'm going to put little sparkles somehow on it to make it look girly...I can't wait!
Ava's elephants!
Ok I just wanted to post my favorite newborn outfit we have for her! it's a little ballet outfit

Ok so I went back to the Dr's today...(not fun having 2 in one day). Anyways little miss Ava is head up!!! Not cool b/c her daddy gave her a long speech today about how she needed to be in the right position. She already doesn't listen to us!!! Anyways they said that they will wait two more weeks to see if she is going to turn, but if she hasn't by then they will talk about our options and c-section. So be praying for little miss Ava to turn.

These are pictures from the last appointment I went to at 32 weeks...once again b/c of the position she is in they aren't good at all...but sadly better than todays pictures.

somehow this is a foot?

Her heartbeat....strong and steady!
This is her pretty little face...I think she looks like David

Ok these are from today! at 34 weeks...6 more to weeks to go!


and the last one...does anyone have any clue what this could possibly be???
