30 week 3D pictures of LB

Here are the pictures from our ultrasound this week. LB cooperated well and was moving the whole time so we got some good shots. I invited my girlfriends Danielle, Ria, Maggie and Christy to the ultrasound center since they have a hug room with couches made to bring your family members. I think the girls enjoyed seeing LB as much as Dax and I. Doesn't she look really big? She is around 3 pounds and 16 inches or so. The ultrasound tech could confirm she does have hair! She is so cute, we just can't wait to see her in real life! The verdict is still out on her nose, I think she may have inherited the Curtis nose after all, either way, we think she is perfect!

She looks like she is just taking a nap! But she wasn't, she was moving around the whole time!

I think her arms and legs are just as cute as her face!

Looks like she is sucking her thumb

Maybe a yawn?

Nursery pictures

We were SOOOOO blessed to have received a great gift this weekend of our glider/ottoman from Dax's family members! Thank you so much guys for getting this for us, we love it and can't wait to actually use it with LB! With this new addition to the nursery, we were able to pretty much finish for now. It was a lot of fun decorating LB's room. I even caught Dax going in there all by himself and just sitting, looking around. So CUTE!!!

LB is really kicking and moving around. More like rolling around now instead of tiny pokes. She is 3 pounds and is about 15 inches long! We go to the doctor for my 30 week appointment on Thursday and our last ultrasound later that evening. We have been told that the best time to get a 3D ultrasound is right around 30 weeks, because she won't be that squished up yet. If we get any good pictures, we will be sure to post them.

My first subject

This weekend we got Mr. Rebel out again for some practice. Our good friends Nichole and Eric attended a birthday party with Dax and I and their two beautiful kiddos, Hayden (2) and Parker (4 mo), so it was the perfect time for me to practice on real kids, not just Leyla! Hayden is such a sweetie and was a lot of fun! Parker man was just as content as could be the whole afternoon. That is until it was dinner time and we were on the road! They are great parents and a lot of fun to hang out with!

28 and 1/2 weeks down...

And 10 1/2 to go. But who's counting? Dr. appointment today was pretty uneventful. Nothing new to report. Belly is expanding right on target, to the cm. It's funny because on a daily basis, I hear "you are so tiny" to "no way you are going to make it till Christmas". So, who knows? Dr. said I'm right on target, so I guess we will go by what he says, since he is the MD.

My body is starting to notice all the extra weight it's been toting around and so my joints and muscles are starting to complain. All normal-right? I have been telling people that God must give all mothers the gift of forgetting. Once our babies are born, we forget how much we go through to get them here safe and sound. Cause otherwise I think there would be a lot of one child families! I've also noticed that this "forgetting" gift that God give us happens immediately after giving birth. So, there's always that to look forward to, as if meeting LB in real life isn't enough! That's why we are in countdown mode in this family.
