Welcome Back Rachel!!!

Dont' mind me lookin' a hot mess!! The girls!!

Rachel was in town this week becuase she is not going to be able to make it for Thanksgiving so we all went over to Chris's for dinner monday night. Here are a few pictures. (You can tell it was not a great day!!)

Doctor

I had my 38 week appointment today. Good and Bad news. I'm 75% effaced, but only dialated to a 1. That's all the news. Nothing much else has been going on besides some occasional contractions an overall feeling icky, tired, achy, or sick!!! Let's all hope she get's out before Thanksgiving!!!!!!

4-D Sonogram Pictures

Here are some 4-D Sonogram pictures that I had taken today!!! They are so precious!!! She's gonna be a little chunkette!!! And she has my nose!!! :-) Mom is taking credit for her lips already!!!!! oh lord, here we go!!!! :-) If ya wanna see the video, call or stop by!!!

Sleeping baby Smushed sleeping baby Toes YAAAAWWWWNNNN!!!!!! She's tired!!!

Sonogram

Her hand A side profile Here are the latest sonogram pictures!! :-)

So my last appointment was on Halloween. At the sonogram we learned she's for sure a girl!!! (The video most deffinatley proves it!) If you haven't seen the video of the sonogram, come on over and check it out!!!! :-) They said she is approximatley 5 pounds 8 ounces. Her heart rate was 124, my fundus measured in at 34 (So it's finally growing again!!) Other than her weight they said she did measure slightly small, but all of her organs look good and her weight is good. I'm (obviously) not a big person, so I'm not going to have a gargantuan baby! I may have a nonstress test next week just to make sure everything is going okay (because she is so small), and they may check me for the first time next week... we shall see on Thursday! :-)

Eviction: November 25th, 2007

HAHAHAAA!!!! I wonder if Izzy will get the message.......

The final decision

So, as most of you know, I have been pretty up in the air about Izzy's full name. But I have made up my mind. She will be named Izellah Michelle Mae Byrd. Yes, that is a total of four names. I know this. and I'm okay with it. She gets the Michelle part from her aunt Brittany and the Mae part from her grandma Pam. This name will be most versitile. Aunt Jenny Reay and Izzy Mae can go have some fun in Hick town. Also Izellah Michelle rub elbos with the likes of Oprah, Reese Whiterspoon, Donald Trump, Bill Gates, etc.......... Most versitile.

Baby Shower Pics!!

Grandma Pam looks so happy! Jenny and Jodi Izzy's Baby quilt from her great grandma Jean!

Cayce and Pooh Aunt Dina looks so happy to have her picture taken! Aunt Sherry also looks thrilled! Winnie the Pooh! (We saved his head for her 1st brithday cake!) Me and Cassaundra! :-)

It was a loooong day!!

Poor Baby

She has the hiccups. Again. She gets them all the time!!! :-( poor baby!

It's been a while!

Wow! I didn't realize how long it has been since I have updated ya'll!!! Sorry. I've been trying to get myself sorted out with school and all of my applications in for student teaching, novice teaching, advancement, and hopefully soon graduation!! :-) Anyway, nothing much has been going on in the belly area except she's moving an auful lot!! Yesterday I could have sworn I was carrying twins there was so much movement going on!!! It was kinda crazy! I also had my baby shower on Sunday. Everyone was so generous and Izzy and I got some really cool stuff! I can't wait to see her try it all out!!! :-) Thank you to everyone who came it was a great day!!! But we were very tired after everyone left! I fell asleep on the couch at about 8:30!!! :-) And, believe it or not, I forgot to get my camera out!! So I don't have ANY pictures from teh baby shower. SO.... If anyone has any pics, email them to me so I can post them k??? :-) Izzy's hungry, we gotta get food. I'll tell ya all about my labor dreams I've been having lately later!

Dreams

I had a dream about her last night. She was at the age where she just starts holding her head up and begin awake for periods of time. I was taking her to my calculus class (I don't know why, I guess I REALLY wanted to go to class...) and I saw her whole body. She was little bitty but a chunker, she had brown hair (not sure about that....... this is the first dream where she has had hair that is not blonde) and she was SOOOO happy. I mean crazy happy. All you had to do was look at the kid and she would crack up laughing. A big belly laugh to, not just a little giggle. It was the cutest thing ever!!! :-)

28 Week Update

So this week she can now open her eyes and bat her eyelashes at me. She also turns her head toward light. She's packin' on the pounds now and weights just over 2 pounds. She should be around 15 inches long... (Izzy may be a bit shorter than normal, just because well, ya know.... look at me, she aint gonna be no basketball player!!!!) At my next appointment I plan on talking more with Dr. Kindred about my options as far as when I should go to the hospital, etc.... Also, this will be my last 4 week appointment on the 24th. After that appointment, I will probably have 2 appointments 2 weeks apart, and then start going every week. (I guess this is when they wil begin "checking" me...... sounds like fun....) Also, I will be getting another sonogram around the end of October (36 weeks). I can't wait!!!!! :-) That's about all the updates I have, she is moving around and kicking quite a bit nowadays! Also this week I am going to try to find a pediatrician. Any suggestions?

Izzy's Room

This is... well, I don't know what to call it... A table to hold her junk?

I hope she'll be able to find a book to read...

This is the crib set, the bumper pads have little butterflys on them that she'll be able to touch and play with too... It's so cute!!!

This table is going to be next to my glider when I get it. (notice the bibs, and burp rags...)

Don't worry, these things will all be stored neatly away in Pooh Baskets

This is where I'm going to put my glider

This is what we got done over the long weekend. (I think we made GREAT progress.....)

When I said green....

Here is her crib

Don't mind the curtains or vaccum... the room isn't done yet.... Look, her diaper bag could get lost in here!!!

I meant green!! Mom and I painted Izzy's room last night... WOW!! It's not quite the color we thought it was going to turn out to be... But hey, now you can't say my house doesn't have any color.... :-)
