Sneak Peak!

We got Aubree's bedding last week and I absolutely LOVE it! We ordered it from a lady who hand makes everything and sells on ebay! She did such a great job. Bena and Granddaddy are coming this weekend to help paint her room and her furniture is hopefully being delivered in a few weeks. Jon, TC, and Dad put the glider together tonight while we watched the Cowboys. I can't wait to see it all put together. Here is a sneak peak of her bedding:

I LOVE the colors!

26 Weeks and New Years Eve!

Jon and I rang in the New Year at the Stars Game. This has become one of our favorite date nights! We saw a great game and we finally got to some great fights, ha! Loui Erickson got a hat trick and led the Stars to Victory. Mallory and TC were also at the game.

In baby news, I reached the 26 weeks mark on New Years Eve! I continue to feel great, however I think I may have overdone it a bit the last few days with all the cleaning and organizing. I luckily have a wonderful husband who has been a huge help! I've been really sore for the last few days and it feels like my belly is stretching out. My belly button is seriously on the verge of popping out :) I guess Aubree needs some more room in there! We are in the process of signing up for our classes at the hospital and completing our pre-registration. We also completed our registry at Babies-R-Us! That was a bit overwhelming, but Jon had a great time with the scanner. I got a little worried when the lady helping us told Jon he could go over and scan video games from Toys-R-Us. Luckily he contained himself and we stuck to baby items! Jon said that he realized how close we were getting to meeting sweet Aubree while we were picking out all her things! Only 14 short weeks and we'll be parents! We love speculating who she will look like, how she will act, and what the first few weeks will hold. We grow more and more excited to meet her with each passing day!

We had to get Aubree a hat so she would be prepared when she attends her first Stars Game :)

Mal and TC!

Happy New Year! Jon shaved his facial hair last week and is now growing his beard back! Yeah!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

I apologize that this post if late, but we have been cleaning, organizing and enjoying some down time during our last few days of Christmas break. We had a wonderful Christmas this year and were able to spend time with the Enlow's and McKee's. We started our holiday marathon with Christmas Eve at Mamaw Nina's house. We had a wonderful lunch and visited with family. From there, we went to Coppell to open presents with my parents, sister, and grandparents. We got lots of goodies including our video camera! Aubree even got a few presents including a precious hat that I'll have to post a picture of later. After we opened presents and ate another yummy meal, Jon and Mom were ready to challenge Mallory and I in a game of spades. We played two games and Mal and I won both :) On Christmas morning, we combined the Enlow and McKee traditions and had monkey bread as well as sausage rolls. Yum! We were suppose to head to Bowie, but a blizzard decided to hit and change our plans. Jon and I headed to Keller to spend some time with Blake, Addie, and precious little Laney. Dwayne and Brenda were able to brave the weather and join us that evening so that we could prepare for the annual after Christmas shopping adventure! We passed the time by playing two more games of spades. Unfortunately Jon, lost both times again! :) The day after Christmas we stocked up on paper plates, cups, napkins, etc. On Sunday, we finally made our way to Bowie to spend Christmas with the Enlow's. We again got lots of goodies and Aubree even got a few presents! We played two more rounds of spades and Dwayne and I were once again the winners :) Just thought I would rub that in a bit more in case Jon didn't hear enough heckling throughout the holidays! We had a wonderful Christmas and loved spending time with our families. We are looking forward to waking up in our house on Christmas morning next year for the first time since we have been married. We can't wait to share this special time our year with our baby girl!

Sweet little Laney!

Doctor's Appointments and 25 Weeks

This post is a little late because of our eventful Christmas week! Last Monday (December 21) I had an appointment with my Doctor. It was time for my dreaded glucose test and I was not looking forward to it! Luckily I was able to drink the Fruit Punch flavor instead of orange since all things orange have been giving my awful heartburn! My appointment went great and Dr. Oliveria said Aubree sounded wonderful. My glucose results came back the next day and I was happy to find out that I "passed" and would not need to do the longer test! Woohoo! My blood pressure was normal and I've gained 14 pounds. I was shocked at that number because that 14 pounds feels more like 40!

On Tuesday, we headed our for another sonogram. Aunt Mallory was able to come and see Aubree with us. Before the doctor came in, I was laying on the table with my belly exposed and Mallory kept saying "it looks funny when you laugh." :) We were able to see our sweet baby girl while Dr. Weiss took all his measurements. He said that Aubree is about two pounds and everything looks great! We go back in a month to see her again. It so much fun to see how she changes each month. We could see her little hands opening and closing around her face while he was taking her profile picture. She is such a little miracle and Jon and I are so blessed. We can't wait to meet our sweet little girl!

Aubree Mae-25 Weeks

Christmas with the Cousins!

On Sunday (December 20th) we headed to Aunt Gail and Uncle David's house to celebrate Christmas with my cousins! It's always a fun day with four kids under the age of 9 digging into tons of presents! We had lots of yummy food and had a great time spending the day with my wonderful family. Aubree got a beatiful quilt from Aunt Gail and Uncle David that they found on their Branson trip. Thanks Aunt Gail and Uncle David! Below are a few pictures from our day!

Aunt Mal!

Luke and Blake! They got an xbox 360! The look on Luke's face is priceless!

24 Weeks!

Basketball season is here, which means Jon is only home 2-3 nights a weeks. Since he is the photographer, I didn't get a picture at 23 weeks last week, but I was able to track him down long enough this week to get one :) I'm starting a scrapbook for Aubree and beginning this week, we are writing a letter to her each week to accompany my belly pictures. Hopefully one day she can look back on it and see what her journey was like.

We've made some progress in the nursery and it is almost completely cleaned out. It has been my gift wrap room for the last few days, but once I get my mess cleaned up we should be ready to paint! I can't wait to get the furniture here and see what it looks like all set up. Her nursery is going to be black, white, and pink. I'll post pictures as soon as we start the nursery.

We only have 1.5 school days left until Christmas break and we can start our LONG to-do list! We still need to go register, make progress on the nursery, switch some furniture around, etc. It doesn't look like our Christmas break will be all that relaxing, but I'm looking forward to getting some things accomplished. We are having Christmas with my family this Saturday and then we'll be with the Enlow's on Christmas day. Of course our Enlow holiday would not be complete without our day after Christmas shopping extravaganza! I'll have to try and take some pictures this year! Maybe we can get Bena in action (last year she knocked a sign over on some lady's head). It's always an exciting event!

I have a doctors appointment on Monday which will include my glucose test and then we have a sonogram on Tuesday. We're very excited to see Aubree again! I'm sure I'll have much more to update after those two appointments.

The Enlow Christmas Tree! Notice my shopping is DONE :) Jon assured me that next year he will "Clark Griswold" the outside of our house for Aubree's first Christmas!

24 Weeks!

22 Weeks!

We are back in the swing of things after a nice Thanksgiving break. We loved getting to spend time with our wonderful families and celebrate all that we have to be thankful for this year. We started Thanksgiving break off with a night at the Stars game. This has become our new favorite thing to do!!! Jon got us a great deal on some tickets and we enjoyed cheering the Stars on to victory. Our next trip will be on New Years Eve!

On November 24th we had another sonogram. I get soooo excited to see our sweet baby girl on the screen. We were happy to hear that Aubree is growing and everything looked great with mom and baby. The doctor said she weighed 1 lb, 1 ounce and was about 11 inches long. Her heart rate was strong and her head was down. I told him I thought she had been tap dancing on my bladder and he said "more like punching!" Most of the movement I have felt has been very low in my stomach. Last night was the first night I felt a kick up closer to the middle of my stomach. She decided to start a dance routine about the time I was laying down for the night! This is by far my favorite part of the pregnancy so far. I love feeling her move around! We go back on December 22nd to see her again and I can't wait! Here is Aubree Mae at 21 weeks:

Aubree-21 Weeks! What a sweet profile!

Currently, I am 22 weeks pregnant and still feeling great! I get short of breath at times, especially after I eat, but other than that I have been feeling great! We've made some headway in preparing the nursery. We sold our old furniture on Craig's List and now we're working on cleaning out the closet. Our furniture is in and we would like to get the room painted and set up before we go back to school after Christmas break. Luckily we have some expert painters to help us out from the Enlow side of the family :) Y'all get your paint brushes ready!

On a side note, I am so proud of my wonderful husband! He has lost a little over 20 pounds on his diet. I told him that he needs to keep it up so that in May he can be my trainer! I think I need someone like "Bob" on The Biggest Loser to whip me into shape and he could definitely keep me motivated! Way to go Jon! We are so proud of you!!!
