Well, let's start this very LOOOOONNNNNG Blog with a Gracelee update, which will be updated again tomorrow after my doctor's appointment.

Today was the last ultrasound to check for positioning and size. Please keep in mind that Gracelee is technically 37 weeks and 2 days, which gives her 2.5 more GROWING WEEKS!!!!
*
She weighs 7 lbs. 4oz, and is measuring perfectly on track! Praise God! She was not about the camera today, but we did get to see eye lashes, a cute little button nose (that even the doctor commented on!), little girl parts (I made them check again!), and we saw her sucking on her little hand. The precious baby growing inside of me grows nearer and dearer to my heart by the second! Her daddy already says that she has him wrapped around her little finger!! We CANNOT wait!!! My feet are swelling and I have indigestion, but you know, it is all worth it! I would take this and ten times worse just to have her! She is a little angel!

We anxiously await her little cousin Annabell, too!!! And her friend Sam!!!!!

This weekend was really fun! Keila, Brian, Amanda, and Scott threw us a couple's shower in honor of little Gracelee! She really is so blessed to have Aunts and Uncles that love her so much! The party was a blast, and one last hoorah Adult style for the parents... well, for a while anyway! Justin and I have fabulous friends and family, and we cannot express in words or actions how appreciative we are for everything! So let's get started with the pictures!

The food was incredible and all homemade! Brian had some kick- bootie hot wings, momma made some DELICIOUS hummus and OMG wonderful red velvet cupcakes (as seen below) along side a heart shaped R.V. cake with a bedazzled "G" (which will be at ALL of her birthdays!), Lessie made some phenomenal spinach dip and delicious pesto sandwiches (which everyone keeps asking for the recipe!)... we of course, brought the Keg... ended up with some pretty righteous headaches (of course momma-to-be was the DD)!!
Here are Host and Hostesses with Momma and Daddy 2 B
Mommas!!
Are we really going to be parents in 2 weeks (or less)??
Aunts and Uncles
Baby Austin made an appearance! He is a beautiful and good baby!!!
During gifts, Justin wanted to model the Pampers... yes you read that right!
He is elated... can you tell? I love him so much! He is going to be a fabulous father!
My friend Christie is due the same day as I am, but she will have her baby one week from friday!!! We are all so excited to meet Sam! Her little boy Luke is 2 and just so precious! We are certain that Sam will be the same! I feel so blessed to have a friend in Christie! She is so sweet and such a great mom! We have so much in common and I am so excited to have our little ones grow up together! We enjoy the company of her husband Creighton and her so much! We were asked to have a picture made by the ladies at work of our bellies... so here they are!
We have to stand so far away from each other! Thank goodness it is only for a couple more weeks! Then it is back to the treadmill!!! Brian is going to kick my behind into shape! Yikes!
Bottle for Mommy!?!?!?!?!?! Maybe after Gracelee is here... maybe! I might be shnockered after one sip!!! LoL!!
We had a bottle chugging contest of beer... the video is to follow if it loads! Can you tell Justin did not win, but could care less??? Good try honey!
Then, of course, it was time for Guitar Hero... Some kind of fun!!! Scott is a percussionist, but this was his first time to play... He did great! They all had fun!! Keila is the BOMB at guitar, and Amanda was Awesome at Vocals! Brian and Justin are video game freaks and are good at everything!!!!!
Then, Sunday the church threw a shower for Gracelee at Carol's house. It was lovely, and so much fun! The food was incredible! Thank you to Carol, Kim, Darcy, DeeDee, and Barbara for hosting this incredible event!! Like I said before, Gracelee is so blessed! She has no idea the amount of love this world is about to offer her!

Here is Grammy with some guests at the shower.
And the hostesses
Sophie and Mia are Carol's Granddaughters, and they happen to be 2 of my favorite girls!!!!! They got Gracelee the cutest little Polo Jumper, and they were such good helpers!!! I love them!

And finally, we had a birthday girl on the 1st!!! Lady Lu turned 4 years old and got a brand new bobo, cookies and new chewies!!! She is such a great dog and she is already so protective of Gracelee! She won't let anyone near my belly and she cuddles more than ever at night! We love her more than people should love a dog, but maybe that is because she is more than that! She is a part of our family! Gracelee, again, is so lucky to have a puppy dog like Lady!!!
Happy birthday, big girl!
She gets SUPER excited!!
Thank you to everyone who made this weekend so special! We are so anxious, and knowing we have an awesome support system eases our minds... a little anyway! We are ready when Gracelee says she wants to come into this world, and we cannot wait to meet her!
Much love and prayers for everyone! Pray for progress tomorrow!!!!! We want our baby!!!
Until then...
(as you can see... no video... sorry!)
Brian won anyway! He got to keep his $10!!! = 0 )
