Tomorrow is the DAY!

Tomorrow is the big day! I am really nervous, but super excited at the same time. I can not wait to hold her and hear her cry. So, this will be my last post for a while - well at least until we get back from the hospital with some pictures! When we get back I will post the pictures along with the announcement of her name. Please keep us all in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow. Talk with you all soon, and the next time you hear from me I will have a beautiful baby girl!

Love~ Remica, Flint, and "Bitty Girl"

The BIG News!!!!

So, here it is "THE BIG NEWS!" I went to the doctor on Monday and my blood pressure was a little high, so she wanted to see me back on Wednesday. I went in on Wednesday with mom in tow - my blood pressure was still high. After the doctor checked me I had made some progress, then she looks at me and explains that I meet her criteria for Preeclampsia and she wants to induce me tomorrow (Thursday). Needless to say my jaw dropped and I almost passed out. All I was thinking was - I am not ready yet and Flint is NOT here!!!! I seriously almost had a panic attack! She told me then that we could do it on Monday, but NO later. I said that was fine and finally got my breath back. She gave me some precautions to look for and if I started to feel funny or not feel that baby move then I was to call her immediately. She then told me just to relax and stay off my feet. A little easier said than done for me - but I tried! I will just be 37 weeks, but the doctor thinks she is healthy and will have no problems. I am just praying that everything goes ok, and she is fine. So, "Bitty Girl" will be making her entrance into the world on Monday, July 21, 2008 (the day after Alice Ann's b-day). I am so excited for her to get here to meet you all - as well as I FINALLY get to reveal her NAME! You guys are probably more excited about that then her birth - lol! Here are some last shots of the belly and talk with you all soon! I guess my next post will have pictures of the baby!

The last belly shot of me at nine months.

Kaytlin my niece (she will not be the only girl for long), Gehrig and Brayden my nephews.

Us at mother's day lunch.

My sister Vickie, my mom, me, and my sister Amby at my family shower.
I have no clue where my height comes from.

Me and Kaytlin.

This is the dress that Bitty Girl is going to wear home from the hospital. I don't think I am going to put the bonnet on her unless she has a bad cone head....lol! Otherwise it will be a bow.

Dad and I comparing tummies. Who wins???

Her Nursery !

Here are some pictures of her nursery - it is all some what finished. It is amazing the things you can do with some paint and hot glue! All I have to do now is hang a mirror (which is really heavy, so that is a job for Flint - and we also need to hang her name.) Which I know you are all extremely ready to know! Just think the suspense is almost over!!!! I also, don't have any pictures of her table that I am making the table cloth for. It is going to match the rest of the room. A brown table cloth and a pink with brown polka dots topper accented with some bows - of course. :-)

Here is a picture of her changing table/dresser and her bow hanger that I made.
Is she spoiled already or what????

This is the girl's bed and the craft projects that I did to relax.
I painted the shelf and mirror, then I had the hat and got the lady bug frame from one of my friends at school.

Of course she has to have her bed with her bedding
and chest of drawers for those cute outfits! Her name will go on the wall above her bed! I can not wait to put it up!!!

I absolutely LOVE this piggy bank that my cousin gave her. You can't see it, but it also have a tutu on. Super cute! Her Pa-Pa has also started her fund!

This is a shelf that I had and just repainted it. Then I painted all of the stuff that is in it. You can probably figure out that the "BFB" are her initials - any guesses????

This is the fair away shot of this wall. All of the stuff on it was craft projects.
Who knew I had some Martha Stewart in me!

More Shower Pictures

I finally have some more pictures from the shower that my family threw us.
So here they are...

Sissy (my mom's baby sister), Jenny (my sister-in-law), and my nephew Gehrig

Here are some of the cute decorations that Vickie made!
I love the potty chair center piece.
Cute and practical!

Here is Bitty Girl's Cake - I thought it was adorable!

Thanks, Barb, for writing all the stuff down!

Mi-mi and Brayden enjoying the festivities.

I love this picture of Gehrig and his Uncle Thomas (Vickie's husband).
I think they were watching Sponge Bob!

New momma Amby with her handsome man Brayden.

All of the little rug rats. It reminded me of all of the cousins at Bigmama and Papa's house when we were little. Good times!

Amby holding our little cousin Caroline. I think she is what Alice Ann and Russell's baby is going to look like. She has dark hair and big brown eyes. She is a doll!

More gifts! Some scrap booking stuff from her Aunt Vickie.

A Night Out on the Town

This past Sunday, Vickie, Kaytlin, Lexi, and I went to see the musical HAIRSPRAY. First, we had to make a stop at the CHEESECAKE FACTORY!!!! YUMMIE! We got all pretty in our fancy dresses and had a blast. As all of you know I love to dress up, although 9 months pregnant in 3 inch heels was not very fun! I never thought I would say that. :-( We want to make a night out to a play or musical an annual thing -FUN! If anyone else is up for it let me know!

Kaytlin (my niece), Vickie (my sister), Me (preggo), and Lexi (my step-daughter)

Both of the pictures were taken at the end of the night, so we weren't as fresh!
Still looking good though!

The last sonogram

On June 24th we had our last sonogram to see if she was head down or not. Well, thankfully she did turn and is head down now. She is too big for all of her body to be in the pictures, so I just have face shots. I think she looks just like Flint, but everyone says she has my profile which we will see soon enough. After my sonogram we went to the doctor, and she checked everything out - she told us that she was certainly head down and extremely low! The questions was asked if I would make it until August and she said no. So, Bitty Girl will be here sooner than we thought. Bitty Girl got pretty mad at the sono guy during the session! She had her hands in front of her face and she started swatting at him when he was rolling the thing over her face. It was so funny! Then it was so cool when she opened her eyes and at one point she yawned! It was amazing!

I am 35 weeks and now on a weekly visit schedule to the doctor. We had an appointment yesterday and the doctor said she is still head down and even lower than before. Dr. Gillean said that she is very long and lanky and by the time she gets here she should weigh between 8 to 8.5 pounds. Which is fine with me - at least she is not going to be 9 or 10 pounds!!! Flint asked what the possibilities were that she would be here before July 19 and she said about a 50/50 chance. He will be out of town in Houston the 12th through the 19th, that was the reason for asking. I am terrified that he will be gone and not make it, but hopefully she will hold out until her daddy gets home. She said that she thought it would probably be that week after the 19th. She also thought she would be able to see some changes in the next couple of weeks as far as my cervix thinning and stuff like that, so not to travel too far away. Anyways, enough about all of that stuff and here are some pictures of our little angel! In the second picture you can tell that her eye is opened. Talk with you all soon!

Family Shower

My sisters, aunts, and sister-in-law threw another shower for the Bitty Girl, and once again she racked up. She got even more spoiled at this shower than before! We had tons of food, cute decorations, and lots of fun. It was great to see everyone and get to catch up. Her Mi-Mi and Grandma were there and lots of aunts, cousins, and friends that she will soon get to meet. Here is a picture of all of her gifts, and I will have some more pictures of the decorations and stuff soon. I just want to thank everyone for coming and a special thanks to Vickie, Amby, Jenny, Sissy, and Pennie for throwing the shower for us. We are so blessed to have a wonderful family! Thank you guys for her stroller and car seat too - it was way too much but much appreciated! We love you, and I can not wait for Bitty Girl to meet you all!
