Well, after a long time coming we were finally able to have some pregnancy portraits done! If you would like to check them out, please feel free! Here's the site http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/store.aspx?p=48815 Click on D Hall, then you may need to hit continue, and there we are! We even included Madie in a couple! Since she is our first baby :) Now we just have to decide which ones we want!! They really did turn out great!
Well, I went for my 33 wk appointment last Weds. Doctor says everything is looking great! Blood pressure was 110/60, weight looks good (thank goodness :) and our little girl is "ready". Ready? What does that mean, exactly! Apparently she has moved into the birthing position and I have dropped enough that our OB is saying that she is ready when the time comes. Here I am, all alone at my appointment about to fall off of the table when he says ready. All I could think of is "great! I haven't packed a single thing!" (Which will change this week, I promise!) He said that he's not changing my due date, but will be surprised if I go more then 4 weeks. Which, lucky me, happens to be the week of a full moon! Wives tells, be darn! So I guess we'll see.
But as of tomorrow, I will only have 6 weeks left...that is if the little booger sticks with my plan :) But I doubt that happens. Anyone want to place a guess? We've got a pool going!
This past Saturday we had a baby shower. It was very nice! We received such lovely warm wishes and heard such great stories from the other moms. It was very special and I don't know how to thank the hostess'! They did a wonderful job! Every thing was just beautiful!
Hope everyone is enjoying your summer so far...as for us Larry is working like crazy and I'm at home getting ready :) You know me, Miss Organized! Our best to all!

Counting down...
Yesterday we officially started out countdown to the arrival of Baby Girl Hall! As of yesterday, I am 31 weeks pregnant leaving only 9 short weeks left! Of course the doctor likes to remind me that I can go anytime 2 weeks before to 2 weeks after my original due date. Which is fine, except when I get to thinking that means I may only have 7 weeks left if she comes early or whew, 11 weeks left if she's late. Which if she takes after either side of the families she will be late :)
Currently the doctor says I'm looking great. My blood pressure is "excellent" (to quote him) and I'm progressing beautifully. We had a tiny scare earlier this week. I hadn't felt much movement on Sunday and going into Monday (compared to Saturday night) so I went to the OB on Monday to get checked out. I was placed on a fetal monitor and we could hear her heartbeat...actually very strong beat of 140-160 beats, so our concern lessened. However, we couldn't "find" her. The nurse moved the monitor around forever and finally after about 10 minutes we found her. The little booger had slipped over to my far left side. That's why I couldn't feel anything. So we stayed hooked up to the monitor for about 45 minutes all the while trying to get some movement out of her. Larry finally came over to my left side and talked to her. That's all it took was her Daddy's voice because she was up and moving then! She did a couple of big kicks and flips for us and the nurse was very pleased. Needless to say, we were very relieved.
We have finished painting her nursery and all of her furniture is up and waiting :) We are having a couple of baby showers over the next couple of months so we'll be more prepared after them. I just can't believe how time has flown by! I remember thinking "I've got plenty of time, I'm only 9 weeks" and now I've only got 9 weeks left! Amazing!
I've started on my every 2 weeks appointments (should have about 2 more) then I start my every week appointments. So more updates to come! Stick around!
