Little Girls!

I figured I'd catch people up on what's been going on lately (I've really been slacking!). On April 17th, my mom came into town for my Arizona baby shower and my wonderful Aunt threw it for me. It was so well put together and she did an amazing job. There were decorations of flowers, a chocolate fountain with fruit cut into flowers for dipping, a home made cake, and other fun goodies.



The cake was home made by Brenda and Doug. They just recently started making these amazing cakes and they always have such cute ideas!

Once again, I was amazed at the out-pouring of love from all the friends and family that came. Audrey got so many things that Lyle and I are ready for her to come-supplies wise.

At both showers, she was showered with clothes...she is going to be a well dressed baby! I took pictures of some of the little outfits she got:







And of course I have to throw a picture of this in because my sister did such an amazing job on this for the nursery:



Thanks to so many, the nursery is ready, the supplies are stocked, the bag is packed and we are ready for her to arrive!

Speaking of arriving, I went to the doctor today and she is as healthy as can be! Her due date is May 7th but due to a VERY uncomfortable rash that I've developed (they call it PUPPS-a rash pregos get at the end of the pregnancy that's VERY uncomfortable that they can only give meds to suppress the itch and discomfort about 50%. The only way to get rid of it is to deliver the baby.), we are scheduled for induction Tuesday night, May 4th. I am not a huge fan of inducement...but maybe she will surprise us and come naturally before then. We'll keep you all updated and for sure post pictures of our new bundle soon after!

Weighing In

Lyle and I got to see Audrey today at our last ultrasound appointment. It was such a fun experience and I think the ladies doing it enjoyed it just as much as we did. They would get a good view of her profile and then just sit there and watch her and laugh. Lyle thinks we are having a cat. In the profile views, she would lick her right hand and then suck on it and then return to licking it. We were all laughing! They also said that she has a big head (ouch!), and we all could tell quickly that she already has a personality and ornery.

This is a profile of her (facing left) with her hand heading to her mouth to suck.


And this one is the same profile view but her tongue is out licking the hand she just sucked.


We are SO excited to see her!! They told us that her original due date was May 12 (they wouldn't give us a specific date at first in the last appointment) but with her development they've bumped us up a week to May 7th. She is healthy and her heart is beating like it should and she weighs 5 lbs 14 oz.
