Baby Pics!!!





I know it is about time...I am finally posting pics of the baby Mabry to be! These were pictures from my ultrasound at 20 weeks and now I am 28 weeks so she probably looks totally different! Wow how fast 8 weeks goes by. But you can see in these pictures her little profile and that she is a girl. SHE HAS NO WEE WEE! I go to see my midwife on Monday(tomorrow the 22nd of December) for another appointment. I have to go through the lovely diabetes testing and get a shot because I my blood type is A -. Anywhooo...Should be a great time... We also have signed up for our child birthing classes. We are using the hypnobabies method. Which is a way of natural birth that uses deep relaxation and music to help you get through the process. Our classes begin in January. So I will have to let you know how that goes. Supposedly when you use this method of child birth, you have little or no PAIN!! Sounds good to me. I have decided to look at this birth situation as marathon I am training for. I know that when you train for a marathon you have to look at it in steps. You walk, run, walk, run when you train. So if I can just remember to run and than walk and breath in between as I reach my goal. Or sometimes I think about mailboxes. I know that when I am running I use my mind a lot to sike me out by saying if I just make it to the next mailbox than I will be able to walk... I think if I look at it in steps it will be a good Marathon in the end. Continually trying to get to the next mailbox. And the amazing part of it all, is that in the end I will reach the greatest mailbox of all, a baby Girl to cuddle and love on. I will update my blog tomorrow again with how the appointment went and maybe I preggo pic or two!

Kicking Room

On Friday Jeff and I went out to eat with some of his co workers.  As I looked through the menu I saw the spicy hot wings and had to get them.  I didn't even think one second about it, I had to have them.  They were really yummy and I didn't even think they were spicy, which for me is quite the opposite because usually everything has some spicy-hotness taste to it.  While I sat there and at them people kept on commenting on how I wasn't going to get much sleep that night. But I was like, "oh well".  Well, that night when I laid down baby girl stated to kick.  It was like she was dancing...I was like, "Jeff you have got to feel this..."  and he did for another 15 min or so. The longest he has ever felt her move.  It was really cool for him to feel it.  I think he  might have even giggled...at the thought that there was a real human being in my tummy!   
On the other hand Jeff and I have started to move towards getting the baby's room together.  We went and bought the paint at Lowes on Saturday.  Also, my mom and I finished the curtains this weekend (brown with white polka dots) so things have started to progress in that area.  We have decided to go with mainly sage green and dark brown with a splash of shades of pink.  
Also, lets see I am 26 weeks.  Which means I have 14 weeks left.  Which is kind of crazy to think about.  And as I think about the future, I think about everything that I have to get done and ready in the next 14 weeks.  My teacher mind is on overdrive...  I have a lot to do, between getting ready for maternity leave and getting ready for the baby I will be busy.  I am sure thatit will all work out!  We are both excited.  Thats it for now!
