Sweet Baby Faces *updated*

Hey, y'all,

We had our 30 week prenatal appointment and ultrasound today.  Our doctor (whom we didn't see last time) said she was going through withdrawals not seeing us (we've been blessed to see her every single time this pregnancy except for our last appointment)!  We love her!  I wish she could be our pediatrician, too, haha!!

I'm measuring right on track (up 18 pounds total--yikes!), and Baby Boy looks great!

He's measuring 3.3 pounds and is growing right on target.

He's in the 40th percentile, which is normal.

*Bonus*
He's already in the right position (head down), so we're good to go there :)

We were treated to a long ultrasound, and she even got a couple of great shots for us to keep, including this 4D image (during the ultrasound, the 4D imaging allowed us to watch him suck and smack his lips!).

I know some people are having trouble "seeing" him, so here's my best explanation:
Most of the picture is of his face.  It's really close.  Tilt your head slightly to the right as you look at the picture.  His nose is in the center with his two little nostrils.  Below that, his lips (partially open).  Above his nose, you can make out his closed eyes.  It appears he's resting on something (uterus, I assume).  I hope that helps!

I know he's ours, and I'm sure I'm incredibly partial, but I think he has THE.  sweetest.  face!  Look at those lips! :D  

That ultrasound was the coolest thing, and I'm a little sad it was our last one.  

But I've only got 10 weeks to go before I get to meet our little man in person, so I think I can be patient!  

Oh, and since she didn't mention it, I'm pretty sure I passed my glucose test!  Yay!!  I've been saying lots of "Praise God"s this week, and that's one more I can add to the list.  

Have a marvelous week, y'all!

    Well, we know Baby Boy is absolutely the cutest little guy ever, but your dad and I are having a difficult time determining his features. Could you please point out exactly what we are looking at? We can't wait to meet him and hold him and love on him. Love you.

      Sure :)
      It's a really close shot of his face--it actually takes up most of the screen. It's tilted a little to the right in the picture--like he's leaning against a cushion. His nose is in the middle, and you can see the two tiny nostrils.
      Does that help? I wish I had some sort of drawing feature in my photo editing software, so I could just point out things :)

Monday Musings (5/4)

~I'm in the mood to decorate my backyard with beautiful flowers, especially along the fence line. I was thinking rose bushes. But, then. I get email notifications from a company called Joss & Main often with discounted prices and good deals, and today's email showed that, among other things, they had their garden items on sale. I clicked on over and saw the prettiest hydrangeas! I ADORE hydrangeas. We had them in our wedding, and they were so simple and beautiful. Unfortunately, they already sold out of all of their hydrangeas!!  BOO.  I'll keep looking around to find some good deals.  If you're also in the gardening mood, check out their sales . Maybe they'll have the plant, garden item, outdoor furniture, or other item for around the house you're searching for. ~Saturday morning, my mom and I took the kids to our local consignment shop. They were having a birthday/reopening/moving celebration and had prizes and food and a man doing face painting. ...

Introducing....

Image
I know I left you all in suspense. Right now I'm running on very little sleep (we were awake for 25 hours straight, & I've slept an hour and 45 minutes total since then), so this is more informative and less story-like--his birth story will come later. I have to tell it, at some point, because it was nothing short of amazing.  And traumatic.  And I may have to gather more details from those who might remember it more clearly. So, without further ado... (And with a very grainy picture from my iPad taken in the early light of day--6:45), I'd like to introduce you to our son. Jack Campbell Born on 6-11-13 at 1:11 am (he's almost 6 hours old) Weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces (praise God!!) and measuring 18.5 inches long.  He's entirely too precious for words.  We feel ridiculously tired and immeasurably blessed. Thank you for praying!

In the Beginning...There Was a Garden

Image
Y'all, I'm feeling the itch.  It's more of a tick, really.  We've got this huge backyard (which really is not very pretty right now...I'm sure the overcast weather isn't helping my view), and I am itching, ticking, jonesing to start a garden. I love flowers, but I'd rather plant veggies and fruit.  The problem is that I have no idea where to begin.  None.  I've searched and searched on Pinterest, and there are tons of blog posts and articles about gardening, but I'm having trouble just getting started.  What do I do first?  When do I plant? What kind of  soil?  How much sun/shade? Where do I plant? Side of the yard? Back of the yard? Along the fence? Out in the middle? What do I plant? Cucumbers, definitely.  Bell peppers, most likely.  But, what else? What's your favorite, easily grown fruit/vegetable? What pests do I need to worry about?  I also need to keep in mind that I have two ...
