Happy Valentine's Day!

What a cold week...brrrr. Snow comes as often as rain these days. I'm so ready for Spring! Anniston now has bedding ordered. I'm so excited- one more thing off the list. I will post a picture ...it's adorable! Between the cold and being pregnant, we've been catching lots of movies. Dear John and Valentine's Day are great chick flicks. Derrick is showing his romantic side this weekend and planned a great date last night and I have my first pregnancy massage today! What a great weekend:) Later I will hopefully post some pics of Bella's visit today. Last night, I had a crazy dream (the first one about Anniston) ...she was here and everything was going great (although she was extremely small) and then I forgot and left her somewhere. Of course I woke Derrick up and he said that I would never do that and I went back to sleep. I'm truly going crazy. lol. As for Anniston, she's getting bigger. I go to the doctor this week and can't wait to hear her little heartbeat again! My doctor's are beginning to notice the big belly...I get the most random comments. Men just have so much trouble with their words! I get things like...You're looking great and a bit rounder....Do you have fluid retention- I think you're face is swollen? Do you miss working out? What's you're workout plan after the baby? I mean it's mostly in your belly...I guess. I should start a quote book! I'm so thankful for our Presidents...I couldn't be happier about being off work Monday!

Anniston, Happy Valentine's Day to you too! I know that you already are so loved! To my sweet husband (that occassionally reads your blog) Love you too! To my brother, Happy Birthday tomorrow!

Only 15 Weeks Left!

15 weeks left...it makes the wait seem less to say it that way:) We are already well into February...I can't believe it! The most recent Anniston news is that we went to babies 'r us for the very first time. It was overwhelming. I knew I had to eventually go in, but I was shocked to see so many things for a baby. Of course, I do realize we don't need all of that, but it didn't make the visit less shocking. We still don't have our crib in, but we do have a dresser/changing table that is adorable. Anniston, you have something in your nursery! I am starting to feel her a little more...which is so comforting. I kept Anna Kate Saturday and as always she is very concerned about how much longer Anniston has to stay in. She's also realized that Anniston doesn't have any toys or baby dolls yet. It's precious to hear her talk about the baby.

On a funny note, I walked outside this morning with Derrick for church and it was snowing a little. I couldn't believe it was snowing, because I felt like I was burning up! The joy of pregnancy I guess. My body is changing so fast. I'm always asking my sweet friends if this or that happened to them. It helps to know that others feel the same..I guess. As for you Anniston, we will fly again soon. As if you haven't traveled enough since September, we will now be going to New York in a few weeks. You're a little traveler already! I'm counting down the weeks to meet you and praying for a healthy baby girl! I all the sudden feel like we have quite a bit to do before you arrive, but I know that we will get there. Upcoming events include Valentine's Day, Dr.'s appointment - always great to hear that little heartbeat, and the 4D - the first week of March!
