This Past Weekend

Starting on Thursday, Scott & I went to the Jimmy Buffett concert & had a great time. I didn't have even one Margarita while in Margaritaville ;) hehe!

On Friday, I had lunch with Jenn & Lilley. Lilley was such a trooper, never made a peep, & hung right in for our girls outing! Jenn snapped this shot before we left their house and I just received it in my email with a sweet message from Lilley. I can't wait for Grace to arrive so she and Lilley can have lots of play dates!


Saturday we went to the Triangle Beach Music Festival, let's just say that was an eventful day! Here are a few pictures that our friends snapped... (I don't look very happy in the first picture, but I really was, it was a good time!)


Everyone with our group (even some people I didn't even know) were very helpful to the "pregnant lady". They were sure I had my feet up enough & a water in my hand!

And on Sunday Scott & I went out to lunch, then visited the flea market. I'm *so* excited about my flea market find... (110 years old and still has all orginial parts, so the lady that sold it to us said).

And later Sunday afternoon our furniture was delivered! :) I will post more pictures of the furniture once I have more set up in the room. I'm having a hard time with my bedding (will explain more on that later)... but it looks like its coming together.

37 weeks & 5 days

So today, I'm 37 weeks & 5 days... (16 days to go, give or take a few, oh my!)

During the next picture you can see which side of my belly Grace was pushing on, guess the flash scared her or maybe she was just strikin' a pose! :)

I'm really enjoying everyone's "guess" to the baby game. Keep your guesses coming. The game will lock next week so no one can change their answers or post new guesses. If you need the link, it's: http://www.expectnet.com/games/AllieGrace

Good news: We received a phone call today that our furniture for the lake is being delivered on Sunday! :) Can't wait to get everything in place. I'll post pictures as soon as I can.

Hugs to all! XOXO

A little game...

So I thought this would be fun... click on the link below to visit the game. There you can enter in your guess on Allie Grace's birth information. You can enter in what you think her birthdate, weight, length, etc. will be.

To participate, go to:

It will be fun to see everyones guesses!

Name

Just realized that I haven't even posted our final name choice yet! For those of you who haven't heard, her name will be Allie Grace McLaughlin! We can't wait to meet her!

With Crewe

I stole these pictures from Brooke & Crewe's blog. Isn't he just too cute!! He was giving Grace some love on Easter Sunday!

Maternity Photographs

Scott & I went to a photographer friend of mine to have a few maternity shots taken. Aimee of Pure Expressions Photography & I met through the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep organization where she is the coordinator of all photographers here in the triangle area. She has a staff of about 10 people in her studio out in Apex & photographs everything from newborns to weddings. Here are just a couple from our session.

30 days....

It's hard to believe that we're just 30 days away from our due date! I went to the doctor on Tuesday and Grace has dropped, I've begun to thin, & I'm 1 cm dilated. (However we all know that could mean 4 more weeks still!) Her heart rate was 139 and the doctor said everything looked fine (expect my feet)! I didn't gain nearly as much weight in the past 2 weeks as I did the two weeks before. So that was nice. Here's a picture I got today:

33 weeks & 5 days

I'm feeling pretty good aside from the huge feet. They barely even fit into my flip flops anymore! Our hospital bag is packed & the carseat is in the car, so we're getting ready as best as possible! We just can't wait to meet her! Back to the doctor next week!

Scott & I wish you all a very Happy Easter!
