Packing

Johnathan won an award at work which allowed him to go on a trip with some of his co-workers. The destination was Europe! Fortunately, a few of the wives were able to attend too! (My first over seas flight!) The girls stayed with my Mama and Dad for the week. (We had planned to be there during that time anyway, as my mom's church was having VBS that week.)

I think the girls had a great time being spoiled and playing with their cousins, Ryley and Brenlee. Johnathan and I enjoyed our alone/quiet time, and of course exploring a different culture!!! I do have to say that I am so glad to be home!!!!

Lamar Soccer Camp

I signed Ashlyn up for Soccer Camp at Lamar University this year. It was her second year to attend...and I must say...she made quite a name for herself! She was voted "Best First Grade Player!" Way to go Ashlyn!!!!

Fender bender

On July 12th, Jadie and I were rear-ended by a lady after dropping Ashlyn off at camp. It wasn't a major accident, in fact, it didn't even phase Jadie. However, it did leave an imprint of the woman's license plate in the bumper of my car and damaged the springs that sit behind the bumper to cushion impact. As a result of the collision, the next day my lower back started to hurt. Since I was 12 weeks pregnant, my OB insisted on me having an ultrasound to just check and make sure everything was okay! I got a report back that everything was okay....BUT....I have complete placenta previa. (Means the placenta completely covers the cervix.) If this doesn't fix itself, it could mean a guaranteed C-Section to hospitalized bedrest as I progress.

Pre-natal visit #1

Yesterday I went to see my O.B. for my first prenatal appointment! He said I am measuring 12 weeks and the heartbeat was 165. I got quite nervous as it took him a solid 6 minutes to find it! If my memory serves me right, I remember Ashlyn's heartbeat always in the mid 160's. I want to
Say I've heard that the higher the heartbeat the better chances of a girl. So....we might just be having another girl if that holds true! I still have 8 weeks before they will find out the gender...Johnathan and I are both so anxious!!!
