Appointment - 32 weeks

Well, allot has happened since the last post. To start with, I got a job last week. It happened quick but I am very excited about it. It is at a Architecture/Engineering firm here in Lafayette called Poche and Prouet. I am going to work at my own pace until Ella comes and I start work on Monday, I am super excited!


On another note, we got Ella's car seat at the last shower and tried it in both of our vehicles. I was sure that my car would work with the car seat in it, boy was I wrong. That being said, I traded in my IS 250 for a GS 350. It is still sporty but gives me the room that I need, I am really enjoying it. Additionally, Casey has been looking for a while for a new vehicle so we pursued trading his in also and got a deal that we couldn't pass up. Casey got a black Yukon, it is very nice and I feel really good about both vehicles and feel like little Miss Ella will be very safe in both.


I had an appointment 2 days ago, on Wednesday, and I am presently 32 weeks. I am now going to the doctor every 2 weeks. My stomach grew another 2cm in the past 2 weeks and I gained 2 lbs. Ella's heartbeat was 156bpm, which is very strong and Dr. Kennedy was very pleased with that. I am still feeling great these days! I have posted a picture below taken today so all of you can see that Ella is definitely growing in there.
Oh, one more thing, Annie's dad, Mr. Benny is at M.D. Anderson this week receiving a stem cell transplant. We visited with him last weekend and he looked really good. He had the transplant this Tuesday and has had good days and bad days since then. Please join us in praying for many more good days for him and a speedy recovery, we know you can do it Mr. Benny!

Last but not least, our friends Josh and Kristi, who we shared our Houston shower with, had their beautiful twins today, Chace and Peyton. Josh let us know that Kristi and the babies are doing well, we can't wait to see them!

I have a shower tomorrow for Casey's side of the family and I am excited! Until next time....
