Leah in 4D!!!!!!!!!



We had our 30 week appointment and I knew we were going to get a shot at seeing her in 4D-they do it every time. But up until maybe 27 weeks, the 4D's are creepy-in my opinion. But I think it is fun nonetheless and while I dont remember Ryan looking anything like her 4D pictures, I still looked forward to it!
Everything looked great-her head was the right size, all her organs in the proper place, etc...however she was still breech. Which is fine, it is still early and I am most likely having a c-section anyway, so it really doesnt matter-Except when we went to look at her, both her legs and arms were covering her face! The best part was when the nurse asked me to roll on my side to see if we could get a better shot and Leah immediately shot her arm up to brace herself against my cervix and stop her from moving-I'm not making this up-it was very visible and very obvious. Fantastic...but here are the few we did manage to get. She looks a little like Ryan (I guess). It always strikes as odd to get these shots-everything up until now seems so abstract, weird blurry figures, talks of comparing the size of the fetus to fruit-then you see this face, and it becomes very real very fast that there is a tiny person, the length of loaf of bread walking around inside you! Hmmmm..... Wont be long now!!!! 9 weeks!!

Tailgating 2009











First of all, where did my baby go-seriously, look at her all growns up! It was parents weekend for Jamey's soccer team and we all went tailgating for GSU! It was blazing hot (as you can see from her lovely hairdo!) but despite that the parents loved meeting Ryan. I think she did some damage control for the bad start of the season! She stumbled upon kids handing out free footballs and snagged herself one (then went back to get another-nice try). I taught her a few of my moves and clearly she is a natural-just look at her form. And until her sister gets here she will just have to settle hiking it to herself and then play QB! We had a quick downpour at which point mommy was no longer comfortable (as if I was that comfortable to begin with) but we had to leave. I dont know how a 5'1 7 1/2 month along pregnant woman can look like a drowned rat, but I managed to do it!
