Baby Shower in Jackson

My sweet Puddon made the trip to Jackson for the weekend for my shower, and I am ever so grateful! She did really really well too! I'm especially glad I got to see her since it will be a while before I get to go home again.

Here are my hostesses, some of my BFFs, Anna and Nina. They did a faboosh job!

3D Ultrasound

Last Monday (before all the preeclampsia hoopla, we went and had a 3D Ultrasound done. Is this picture not awesome? Mama, Vickie and Clint all got to go in, and Cash was cooperative for about a minute. This was the best picture we got of his face and before he put his hand over his face the rest of the time. His tentative weight was 4 lbs 4 oz - big boy, and he has a head full of hair. Everyone seems to think he looks like me. What do you think?

Time to start updating again

Now that I will be on this bedrest for a while (yes, I said bedrest, thanks to preeclampsia), I will have no excuse but to update my blog. I'm 31 1/2 weeks along, but this baby still needs to cook a little longer, so I'm going to do my best to keep him in here as long as I can. Needless to say, it appears that I will have to cancel my baby shower back home and move up the one they were planning to have me at work. Please keep us in your prayers that we are safe and healthy!

Working...

Here is a suprisingly somewhat flattering side view of me. I was caught in action in court telling a client something. Notice I am also pointing my pen/finger at the client. I have a bad habit of doing that.

The big 3-0

I turned the big 3-0 this past Sunday, Dec. 6, and Mama came to visit for the birthday and the ultrasound (and then they wouldn't let her go back), and what I wanted to do for my birthday was go to Nashville to Gaylord Opryland Hotel to see A Country Christmas and then to the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular. So above are a few pics from said trip. We had a very nice time, and decided to shop a little when we got there so we missed the early show, and I thought, oh well we will catch the 7 PM and still be home by 11 PM (this granny has to get her shuteye in as much as possible before baby arrives). Well, the Rockettes show was really good, but about 30 minutes in, they had "technical difficulties" and put the damn show on hold for over an hour with NOTHING to do but sit there. Finally the show resumed, and we got home at 12:30. Needless to say, we were all quite tired the next morning. However, I thoroughly enjoyed my birthday with the hubs and mumsey.

I'm trying to figure out....

how to post a picture, then words below, then another picture, etc. I see where yall do it, but I can't figure it out. Sometimes I'm good with computers, other times, not so much.

It's a BOY!

It's a BOY, as the first picture depicts. We have pretty much decided on the name "Cash", but we haven't come up with a middle name yet. I had to go to a perinatologist for this ultrasound just as a precaution since my brother has Prader-Willi Syndrome, but we got good news that my chances of having a special needs child are no higher than the average woman, so I don't have to go back to see that doctor. He said Cash looks good and healthy and he weighs a whopping 5 ounces. He's growing like weeds because so is my big ole belly!
