Sweet Baby Girl

On Monday, I had my first "2 week" visit with Dr. Owen. When she first walked in, she asked, "Are you having good fetal movement?" My answer was, "Yes! She moves around CONSTANTLY!" As she was moving the fetal heart monitor wand around my now quite round belly, Jentry gave one of her biggest kicks yet! It literally made that wand fly off! Dr. Owen responded, "Yeah, I think you are good on fetal movement!" Haha! We also talked about being induced vs. going into labor naturally...Brady and I had been thinking about this for some time now. We decided that since Brady is out of his office almost daily, and sometimes does not have phone service, that induction would be the best. Dr. Owen also said that since her husband is a doctor as well and that they have 2 young daughters, if it wasn't scheduled, she couldn't promise to be there. THAT definitely made up my mind! I have too much anxiety over labor already, no need to tack on the worry of MY doctor not being there! :) So, (if I don't go into labor before) I will be induced on August 22nd! That is only about 8 weeks away! We are SO ready to meet our baby girl!
Later that day, we went to Dr. Hales' office for our last sonogram, it was kind of bitersweet, we were sad to know that we won't get to see Jentry again for 8 weeks, but at the same time elated that the next time we see her will be in person! She cooperated very well during the ultrasound...we got some awesome pictures of her sweet little face! She weighed in at about 3 lbs. & they said her birth weight woud most likely be 6 1/2 to 7 lbs. Everything still looked normal...her heart, brain, & organs seem to be perfect! Here are some of the pictures!
Chewing on her fingers

This time she looked more like her handsome daddy!

So precious!

Love those chubby little cheeks!

I have also gotten a few more things done in the nursery...it is almost complete! I will be posting some pictures in a couple of weeks when it is totally done.Last weekend my mom, Merrritt, & I went to The Peddler Show in Lubbock. We found some CUTE baby stuff! I got a brown and pink sign for Jentry's room that says, "You are wonderfully made...Psalms 149:13" I also, got her some bows, of course! I couldn't pass up the chance! My mom got her a super cute little dress that is black with a "bling" pawprint on the front. Since it is neutral I can pair it with red or blue, for her to wear to New Home or Tahoka games. :)

One last exciting thing...we got the carseat in! Brady's grandparents bought it for us and it came in this week. I LOVE the print! Brady and I got it all secured in the car and drove around town for a little bit...it didn't fall over, so I guess we put it in correctly! haha! But due to all the dang dirt that has been littering the air lately, we took it out and put it in the house for now,...don't want it to get dusty! :)
Can't wait to see little missy in it!!

Make room for Jentry!

Geez! I can't believe it's already been a whole month since my last post! It seems like time is just flying by. At this point in the game, we have all of the furniture in Jentry's room! Yay! My Gran also got all of the bedding made, so we had a "set up party" with my mom, sisters, Gran, Brady's mom, sister, & Nana. It was alot of standing around talking, really! haha. It was such a relief to get all of the furniture & bedding in. I have had this fear all along that she might make her debut earlier than expected & that we wouldn't be ready. Luckily, our families have humored my craziness and helped to calm my fears. Here are a few of the pictures!







So, today marks the 7 month point in my pregnancy. It is all starting to become much more real, very FAST! I am starting to get a little nervous about the actual "labor process". It is something that has always scared me, but I know that the reward will be way worth it! We have our last monthly doctor's visit this Thursday...then start the 2 week visits. I just can't get over how fast it is all going by! Thankfully, I am now out of school for the summer, so I'm just getting to relax & nest. :) We also have our last sonogram in a couple of weeks...I am so anxious to see her again! She is definitely a mover & a shaker! The other night she was kicking so hard that my stomach was just bouncing! haha!
