4D Ultrasounds!!!!

Addison at 36 weeks

William at 36 weeks

I love his little nose. According to the sonographer, he weighs 6 lbs. 13 oz. ALREADY!!!! He should be around 7 lbs. 13 oz. at birth-which was Addison's birth weight. How crazy is that?!!
Mark already thinks-from a 4D ultrasound picture-that he sadly looks like him. I beg to differ-You can't even tell yet!!!!!This is my last "full" week to finish up whatever it is I feel necessary to get done before my c-section. In some ways it feels like its coming too quickly and in other ways I feel like it can't come fast enough.... I think when I'm feeling the uncomfortable parts of the pregnancy that's when I wish today was THE DAY!

9 months! W-O-W


Tommorow begins the 14 day countdown-as we will have our precious William Andrew on Friday the 23rd. It's so hard to believe that we are THIS far along in this journey that seems-in some ways-like we were just on. I'm getting into boy mode that's for sure-I've been "interviewing" a lot of my friends who have little men in their lives getting tips and such.
My AMAZING friends and I got together tonight and had a mini-shower if you will at La Parilla. What a treat! to say the least. They are all amazing and have been more than supportive during this pregnancy. It's neat to think of all the different ways they have each been brought into my life-whether it be a 18 year friendship or a year long one. They each are just the world to me. I treasure my friendships. I am a relationship person to say the least. I remember my mom telling me as I would sulk around towards the beginning of the school year-"Mom, I'm not going to know anyone or make any friends!"- she then would reply, "Cindy-if you wanted to go out back and talk to that tree I do believe you could make it talk back and be it's friend". Point taken.


I'm still praying that William does not come on his own. I realize to some-that I might sound a tad bit controlling in this statement-but if I'm already scheduled for a c-section and we know-Dr. included that I must have a c-section for him to enter this world-then why change that plan? :)
I want him-suprisingly- to stay in until my c-section. I'm still collaborating my list of what I have left to do-I feel like it is growing instead of becoming smaller and having a toddler to throw into the mix makes it more complex.


Here are some of my latest projects that I've been a busy bee on. Most of which my mom has either helped or answered questions about: what would I do without her?


I made this lovie/tag blankie for my friend Shannon who is having

her little man the day before me!


Not a great picture- but a Tennessee Volunteers Pillowcase dress


my friend from highschool ordered from me- SO ADORABLE!!


An adorable peasant top for Miss Addy girl

I have made another dress for Addison that is amazing-mainly due to the fact that my mom helped/made it for the most part :) I will post pics up later to this post of it!
