Carson's Baby Shower

Thank you all for the most wonderful baby shower today! We have the best family and friends that anyone could hope for. I'm sure that Carson will love and appreciate all of his new things just as much as we do. It was so great of Anna Carol to open her house for the shower. Everything looked so cute! I appreciate all that each of the hostesses did to make today so special.

Anna Carol and Ashley H. made the awesome CARSON letters and Kristin's diaper cake was adorable. I don't know if I'll ever be able to take it apart.

Sydney was such a big help as I opened Carson's gifts. She is going to be the best Big Sister ever. It was so thoughtful of all of you that brought gifts for her. It took her a little bit to adjust to the thought of not being the "One and Only" anymore, but I think she'll be great.

I had so much fun showing everything to Cameron when we got home and he loved it all. I know that he is looking forward to putting things together and hanging stuff on the walls for me.

The picture of all the girls turned out great!! I really appreciate everyone else that came as well.

THANKS AGAIN!!

31 Weeks Dr. Visit

I went for my 31 week appointment with Dr. Breniman on Tuesday. Everything looked good as far as I'm concerned (weight, blood pressure, etc...) and Carson's heartbeat was in the 130's. It was a quick visit and I'm due back in 2 weeks. I did measure a little big again, about a week. We are really hoping for Carson to come during Spring Break!

Molly's Ever Expanding Baby Belly

This is the latest picture of my ever expanding baby belly. This was taken February 5th, 30 weeks. Carson is really growing! I have my first 2 week visit this coming Tuesday. The last visit was a quick one and everything looked good. Hopefully this weeks will go just as well.

Sydney, Lyla, and Games with the Girls

Sydney just couldn't wait to get her hands on Lyla, and they both seemed very happy. Syd will be a great big sister when Carson gets here. I had a great time playing games at Anna Carol's house with the girls. You guys are all so much fun to hang out with. Sorry Sarah, but this is payback for the Karate Kid pic, and AC I just couldn't resist a good Volcano impression.

Syd's 100th Day of Kindergarten

Wednesday, February 7th was the 100 day of school this year. Incase you didn't know that's a BIG day in Kindergarten. They did all kinds of fun things to celebrate at school like games, ice cream sundaes with 100 toppings, and walking through a 100 sign to 100 balloons. At home we had to make a shirt for Sydney to wear and I thought it turned out rather cute, if I did make it myself. There was lots of help from Syd of course, but she is still a little small for the hot glue gun.

Sydney Makes the "Hall of Fame"

Sydney and her friend Olivia were chosen from her Kindergarten class for the Hall of Fame. This is something that Fulbright does once a month to reward students for showing a certain character trait. This month was Helpfulness. That definitely fits Syd well since she loves nothing more than helping her teacher, Mrs. Smith. After all "She has been playing school for 16 years, she knows what she is doing." This is what she told her "students" a few days ago during a typical afternoon of playing school.

Carson's First Photo Shoot

Sydney, Mimi, Nana, and Aunt Ashley went with us for a 4D ultrasound to take a peek at Carson on January 24th. HE IS ADORABLE! It was the most awesome thing I've ever seen and he gave us an Oscar winning performance. Syd said that she counted all "8" fingers, but we double checked and there are 10. Shea, the ultrasound tech, was wonderful and told us a lot about him from what she saw. He seems to be a healthy and possibly hefty little guy. At 28 weeks the average baby weighs between 2 and 2.5lbs. Carson's measurements had him weighing about 3lbs. and 4oz. Cam's left handed pitcher might be more suited for linebacking. He loves to stretch and keeps his hands by his face most of the time. Hope you enjoy the pics. Check out his cute little smile in the bottom picture!
