London update

These will probably be my last ultrasound pictures and sneak preview of little London before she arrives. She is about 30 weeks old here. I just got the ultrasound reading back and my Dr. said she is growing and making some progress. She moved up from the 28% to 31%. She was about 2 weeks behind and now she's about 1 1/2 weeks behind so she's working on it! They estimated her to be about 2 1/2 lbs right now so she is still pretty tiny. My doctor said she is not worried at all though. She said Hudson was probably the same at this point since he was a pretty small baby (6lbs. 11oz.) and now he's the biggest kid in his class! She said it is a positive because it will just be that much easier on me when delivery time comes around.

I think we woke her up during the ultrasound from all the pushing around on her cozy little home. You can see her starting to open up her eye in this picture. Then we saw her bring up her little hands to rub her sleepy eyes.
In this picture, you can see her eye is wide open. I think she looks like she is going to have big eyes and big cheeks like Hudson! We'll soon find out!

Here is the bottom of her foot.
And here are her legs all stretched out. I'm pretty sure she is like this fairly often because I can feel her stretching out all of the time. I have no doubt she is growing because my belly sure is!

Papa & Gigi come to visit!!!

I am a lucky girl! My parents came down to visit so not only did I get to spend some wonderful time with my family but I also got to extend my birthday another week! I couldn't take extra time off work since I have to save up my time for maternity leave but we still got to spend our evenings and all of Saturday together. We had fun opening up all of the goodies they brought! Hudson got a new tool set which he LOVES! He watches his Daddy fix things all the time so now he has his own tools to fix everything. A few weeks ago I mentioned to him that his birthday was around the corner and he has NOT forgotten! He asks me every couple of days if it is his birthday. When we were celebrating my birthday he was a little confused b/c he thought it was his. He is really looking forward to having his own birthday cake with his own candles to blow out!

Here I am with my birthday presents! One of the things my parents got me was a new wallet-- without even knowing about the new purse Jason got me...great minds think a like! Of course it helps that they know me well! I'm not really one to go shopping for those things myself so I carry the same purse and stuff until I wear them out a have to get a new one! And they were sure not to leave baby London out! She got a super duper bag of goodies! It was like an entire baby shower in one bag!! So much fun! Girl stuff is awesome!!

Hudson was very excited to help me open all of London's gifts...

He had to try on one of her hats....
****oops! I accidentally deleted this one--I'll reload it soon!

Once the bag was empty, it turned into a car!! He can drive and crash anything!! And of course, my parents didn't leave Jason out! He got a manly diaper bag so he doesn't have to get upset when he has to tote around my pink one! : )

Thanks for EVERYTHING Mom & Dad!!! We love you guys!!!

More birthday pictures

I got to celebrate my birthday all weekend long since it fell on a Sunday this year! Jason couldn't wait for Sunday to come around for me to open my presents. He was so excited that the second I got out of the shower Saturday morning he had them waiting for me and kept telling me it was time to open presents! He got me a Miche purse and a couple of different covers for it! He also got me a little purse hanger. A lady came to his office selling them and I wish I could have been a fly on the wall as he stood there with all of the ladies sifting through different colors and types of Miche purses! That image alone really made my day! It is pretty cool to just stick on a new cover to go with my outfit for the day. : )

Happy Birthday to my Uncle Lee who shares the same birthday with me!

This is not the most attractive picture of me since I just got out of the shower but I put it on here since it really shows how big my belly has gotten. I was 31 weeks on my 31st birthday!

My 31st Birthday

Well, I am offically over the 30 hump. I got a free day off of work (a much needed day off of work) on Friday! Hudson's school just happened to be closed that day so it worked out perfectly and we got to spend the day together. We met up with Lindsay & Matt, Jill, Ashlee & her family, and Daddy at Cheesecake Factory for an awesome birthday lunch!! Thanks guys! : ) Hudson and I had some super tastey Key Lime Cheesecake.

That evening, Jason took me to dinner at Gratzi's Italian restaurant. It was our first time there but it was really good. The owner couldn't take his eyes off of Hudson and they became good buddies. I think he came over to our table every 5 minutes to talk to Hudson. He gave Jason and I free dessert for my birthday and he gave Hudson an ice cream sandwhich. We will definitely go back!

Last 2 teeth

Hudson has been getting his last 2 molars and they haven't been very nice to him. He has had lots of grouchy moments so I know that is a red flag to break out the tylenol! It is so cute, even though I'm very tired, but he will sometimes come down stairs in the middle of the night and tap on my shoulder to wake me up. He'll ask me in this super sweet, yet sad voice to please give him some medicine because his teeth hurt. Soon it will be no more new teeth for him until about 1st grade! Then he will get to know the Tooth Fairy! : )
