Update on Heather and Hattie Catherine!

I went to the Dr. April 20th being 28 weeks and they did an ultrasound. Lauryn went with me this time and she was so excited and silly she couldn't sit still in there. Everything looked great....I could see her precious face on the monitor. It was amazing. I start going every 2 weeks now and they are going to do another ultrasound at 32 weeks.
We have offically moved so I am trying to get everything in order before the baby gets here. I have been exhausted and sick probably from the moving and cleaning and dusting. I should be able to get it the way I want it before July 1st but its an old house so there is always something to do but Bryan has been so wonderful fixing everything that needs it right now. We got it so we can live in it but I still got a lot of unpacking to do. Just gonna take time.

Easter 2009 and 28 weeks

Lauryn had a great Easter with baskets full of stuff from everyone. She wanted to dye her eggs all by herself so she did...and they turned out pretty good. She also helped her aunt Mandy bake an egg cake....she had so much fun. Here are a few pics to share.






I went to the Dr. 2 weeks ago and she said I had only gained 2 lbs. this visit so I have to go back Monday for an ultrasound. I guess she wants to make sure the baby is gaining plenty of weight but I think everything is growing along just fine....my belly is defintely bigger. So after Monday I will have some more pics to share...i will try to get a belly shot to share on here too.

In other news...I have been packing up a storm. We are moving just down the road to my grandmother's old house and that means I still have to pack everything I own. I am trying to do as much as I can while I can. I know its time for my 3rd trimester and I will start to get really tired again. I hope to have everything packed and moved by the first of May so I can get the baby room ready...I had it painted and fixed but now I will just have to do it all again. Lots to do before JULY 1st.

Just growing and growing!

I haven't updated this in a while but I went to the doctor Feb. 16th, I was 19 weeks then. This time I went to Dr. Pupa to have an ultrasound done to make sure everything was developing ok. She said everything looks great and they gave me several photos and they verified that it is definitely a girl! Here is one of the pics...she looks like she is trying to turn a flip....

Then I went back to the doctor March 9th for just a check-up at 22 weeks and she said everything looks good. The baby is really starting to grow. We discussed scheduling it a little early since its close to the 4th of July so if everything is ok then we will be having Hattie Catherine July 1st!!!! Can't wait.

It's a Girl!!! Hattie Catherine McLain

Well, we went to the doctor Jan. 19th and they had a sonogram scheduled to see what the baby was...i was only 15 weeks then so I was trying to not get my hopes up that I would find out what it was gonna be. Just as I expected the baby didn't want us to know. I was in there on that table for around 30 minutes. The sonogram girl was determined to find out. The baby was moving the entire time and would not open her legs. Finally after lots of wiggling she finally got to where she could see what she thinks is a girl. Its not for sure but I go back on the 16th of February to a different doctor that specializes in sonograms to look at the heart, lungs and other organs to check to see if everything looks as it should. She will also look to see for sure what the baby is. So....we talked about names and came up with HATTIE CATHERINE MCLAIN....that name is from his grandmother and my grandmother that are both in heaven. Lauryn is really excited about it being a girl...and I looked to see what clothes of Lauryn's I kept and I was surprised to see what all I still have that are cute girl clothes. Bryan is gonna just have to stay out-numbered.

A wonderful Christmas!

We had a great Christmas. Santa brought Lauryn just what she asked for.....a 4 wheeler. I can't believe I am not worried to death about it but she seems to do really well riding it. It is just the perfect size for her. Bryan and I exchanged a few gifts, he got me a really nice camera I wanted and then we went to my family christmas and his. My sister Mandy went to Colorado with a friend so we still have to do Christmas with her. I have a few pics to share.....

Let's Begin with...

This is the first time for me to blog so bare with me. Let's see...well most of you know that I have a little girl Lauryn, she is 6 years old. I got remarried last October to Bryan and we have a baby on the way. I am a few days shy of 12 weeks today. I go back to the doctor Monday the 29th. Bryan is going with me...he didn't get to go the first time so I know he is going to be so excited to hear the heartbeat. My first visit was at 8 weeks and the baby looked like a jumbo sized shrimp....





I will post a new picture after I go to the doctor Monday. I also will have some Christmas pictures to post. Bryan got me a new camera for Christmas so I will take lots of pics. So until then.....Have a wonderful Christmas!
