Sneak Peak

We got a little sneak peak of the "little mama" today, but she SLEPT the whole time!!!Everything looks good with her and they guessed her to weigh 5 lbs. 4 oz. as of now...

She totally has Mark's nose--which so do both boys:)

Little pouty lips

Here's the bottom of her face resting on her arm as she slept

Since Trey has a summer birthday they rushed and did his fun celebration today at school--it was a cute little ceremony where Trey was the sun and he rotated around the earth, he brought in a picture from every year he has been alive, we filled out a story about him, & we made cookies for everyone. I think he thoroughly enjoyed being celebrated again!

1st Day of Preschool

After a 10 week summer break Trey started preschool again today... It was bittersweet, but I know he has been going stir crazy trapped in this apartment so it will AMAZING for him to have something to do again 2 times a week. Of course his teacher is Mrs. Stacey again so that takes off a HUGE load because I love her!!! We didn't put together the cute little treats for his class because I was in the hospital for 3 hours last night lol, but they would have been cute (another post in itself)!!! Luckily I was back home and able to take a few pictures and take him to his 1st day today:)

Exactly 1 year apart to the day...

Contractions!

Today I went and had a quick little hospital stay to monitor some contractions that wouldn't stop. Mark and I were driving around finishing up paperwork and errands for the new house, and were in the car for 2.5 hours which I am guessing why they started because of the pressure in that position of me sitting and not getting up and moving around--that or stress which I am dealing with a TON of(obviously I know I shouldn't stress so don't all call and tell me to relax--it won't work) Anyways when we got to the hospital my contractions were 4 minutes apart for about 2 hours and when they checked me I am almost dilated to a 3(this actually is no different that either boy), but they gave me some test to see if a hormone had been released in my body that meant I was in preterm labor, but this hormone was not anywhere so they said they were 99% sure that I would not have the baby in the next 2 weeks, which is perfect because I am 2 days shy of 34 weeks so if I can go 2 more weeks and get to 36 they will be happy. So I am back at home now taking it easy, and dwelling on the fact that I should pack my bag, the boys bag, Mark's bag, & the diaper bag lol since I felt to so unprepared sitting there--I suppose we should pick her name out too:)

Dresses & Bows!

Today I had a little shower that one of my sweetest friends hosted for me!!! It could not have been more perfect. The food, desserts, & company were perfect and our little girl was spoiled!!Megan even went back and forth with Mark on food so everything would be all my favorites!! All of her presents were so cute and girly, and I think today alone she received 15 new bows lol not to mention bloomers with lace and fur on them!! Thanks again to everyone who came to celebrate her arrival & thank you Megan for making me have a girly shower!!!
