I thought I would post a quick update on my friend with the twins before giving an update on my own little one.  I am very happy to say that both girls are doing MUCH better than they were a couple of weeks ago and both of them are on their way to recovery and hopefully home in a couple months.  I am so happy to see and hear about their progress and know that much of what has transpired is the direct result of a lot of prayer on their behalf.  Keep uplifting their family over the next couple of months though as it is very hard I'm sure to have your little girls stay in the hospital for so long.

As to my little sweetie...

I am 32 weeks now!  Only 8 more weeks until my due date!  It is hard to believe that in two months I'm going to be holding my little Julia in my arms.  I had a nice surprise this week.  A company in Lakeland that does 4D ultrasounds wanted someone to do advertising for them that was pregnant and a military wife.  Tampa Bay News 10 did a short news clip on the 4pm news today about it.  So anyways...I was able to get a free 4D ultrasound and got to see my little sweetie!  The ultrasound is able to be viewed online as well so Andy will be able to see it from Qatar tomorrow.  I am so excited to hear his reactions to seeing our little girl.  He missed my last ultrasound and I felt bad that he had missed out on such an exciting thing.  Only a little over two weeks to go until Andy comes home!  I can't wait to see him.  We are both getting antsy for this deployment to finally be over.  I am so looking forward to having my hubby home again and being able to bond over our pregnancy some before I deliver in November.  I leave for Indiana on Thursday afternoon.  I'm going to be up there for about a week and my mom is throwing me a baby shower while I'm there.  I'm excited to get to see all my close friends and family again and to get a chance to celebrate my little Julia. 

Well...that's all for now...here are some cute pics of Julia from today.  Enjoy!!!!

So much has happened since I last posted.  I am a new aunt!  My sister had her little boy on August 20th and he's such a little cutie.  I have tons of pics of him already but I'm posting just one for now...instead I'm going to show off my little cutie, Julia.  I had an ultrasound done the other day and it was so awesome to get to see her in there again.  She was cracking me up in there.  She had her hand up by her face the whole time and was actually flipping us off with her finger.  Here is the pic:

I thought it was pretty funny but not so Christian-like of my little one...lol.  We'll have to teach her what is inappropriate when she comes out.  Here is her pic of her girlie parts.  She is most definitely a girl! 

I also have a picture of her looking at the camera.  Check out the chubby cheeks!  She already weighs 3lbs 5oz!

Here's her profile picture.  I can't wait to see her in person!

I thought I'd also post a recent pregnancy picture.  This is from a couple of weeks ago:

And last but not least...here's the new little guy, Caeden Andrew:

He is the cutest thing ever and is just a little guy.  He's such a good baby, too.  He makes me more antsy to meet little Julia! 

More Pics!

I thought everyone would enjoy seeing a few new pics of me pregnant.  I am now almost 25 weeks!  I am getting more and more excited about meeting little Julia every day.  She is getting so big that I can feel her all the time wiggling around in there and kicking and rolling.  It is the strangest thing to look down and see my stomach moving as she moves.  The last couple of weeks has been very stressful, but its been calming down over the last few days.  Andy and I had to get everything done for our move to our townhouse before he left for deployment last Friday.  We spent every waking hour either furniture shopping or moving stuff from the apartment to the townhouse for the whole week and a half before he left.  We were both physically and emotionally drained from it all and were a little disappointed we didn't get to spend more time together just having fun before he left.  We will have to make up for it when he comes home I guess.  I finally finished with the cleaning of the apartment the other day and I'm almost done unpacking everything at the townhouse.  It has come along slowly, but surely.  Andy got me a nice camera for my birthday so I've been experimenting with taking pics.  I found the tripod in the garage tonight and decided to take a few pictures to send to Andy.  So I took these pictures and thought I would share them with all of you as well.  I hope you like them!
