Little Update

4:39am. Ben's alarm is on the 3rd snooze. I'm on my 4th tv show and feeling like a zombie. Ahhh, pregnancy is so glamorous! But totally worth it.

I think I have finally kicked my cold and caught up on rest from my busy weekend in GA last week. Before I even woke up to get ready for my flight I had a whole inbox of texts from Ben: It's cold out, take a sweater; Pack snacks for the airplane; Take care of my Princess; I already miss my girls. He is so sweet! Gonna be the best Daddy ever :)

I went for my oldest & best friend's wedding and it was absolutely gorgeous, by far the coolest wedding I've been to. It was at Mountain Cove Farms just outside of our hometown. Until recently, I had no idea this venue existed - it couldn't have been more perfect for a country girl's wedding. 

She rode in an old blue Ford truck for
her grand entrance, so cute!

The barn at night, all the surrounding scenery is
farmland & the mountain


So much fun! There are such a perfect couple. I'm so happy Elsie Anne and I could be there. Oh ya, we decided on giving her the "E," let the monogramming begin! :)


This was taken at the rehearsal. 17weeks 3days.

I can't believe how big my belly is!!! I have been trying very hard to have a healthy pregnancy, and after talking about some of my concerns with the Dr I felt a lot better. Then....I fly to GA. Everyone I talk to: "Oh, you're definitely having twins," or "Aww, how cute, you're what? 7? 8? months?" or "Bless your heart, you must be ready to pop any day now."
haha. not funny.

So I start to worry all over again and then Ben reminds me that a good friend of ours was born a huge baby, like 10lbs, and he said "see, it's totally ok...she was huge and now she's one of the top 5 most gorgeous girls I've ever seen in my life." haha. Now I feel better again! Ben is so good at making me feel better. Thank you D for being a big baby!

As of my 16wk appt I was 2lbs less than I was pre-pregnancy, but I know baby girl is growing like crazy! I have been feeling her little kicks for a few weeks now and it is the coolest thing ever. It's usually when I'm lying down at night or after I've eaten. It's like she's giving me little kicks to let me know I've eaten too much and she doesn't have any room to play! Silly girl.

Ben and I have so much to look forward to next week! We are really excited for my 20wk appointment (anatomy ultrasound). Even though we already know it's a girl, I can't wait to see everything again. I still can't get over seeing her teeny ribs and spine, so crazy! We only have 45 minutes for the ultrasound until the 2nd appt that's with the OB. I just don't think 45 min is enough time for me to get enough of seeing her!

Also next week: VEGAS!!! We are going for the wedding of Ben's brother and fiance. A lot of our friends are coming, and of course most of Ben's side of the family. We're so excited to see everyone! We can't wait!
til next time,
