Lots of Excitement!

This week has been an exciting one! We had a growth ultrasound on Wednesday and S is looking good, head down, plenty of fluid and weighs approx. 5lbs 11oz! This puts her in the 68th percentile, which is a little bigger than average. If she gains 1/2lb a week (like they are supposed to at this point), it looks like we will have an 8lb-er! She was very stubborn for the photo session, so we didnt get very good pics, but we got a few face shots and the girl looks just like her daddy! I can't wait to see her outside of my belly!!

So, Chris has had this dream since the day we found out that I was pregnant that I would be able to compete in the Rod Ryan Pre-Labor Day Pregnant Bikini Contest. The moment I showed him the "pregnant" sign on the stick I could see the wheels spinning in his head. He was counting 9 months from that day (January 31st) and when he realized I would be due in early October, his face lit up and said "you can be in the Rod Ryan Pregnant Bikini Contest!!".....um...WHAT?! I just laughed and brushed it off thinking that he would forget all about it....well, he didn't. Once he heard the announcement on the radio, he was hard at work figuring out a way to get me in...and that he did. SO, next Thursday, September 2nd, my 35 week pregnant belly will be bare in front of way too many people in hopes of winning some fabulous baby prizes. I am in no way excited to do this, but I couldn't say no to him as he was VERY excited and worked so hard to get me in. The pictures will be all over the web, so I might as well post them on the blog next week when I get them. Let's all hope and pray that they at least give us all something for wearing a BIKINI while SO big and pregnant!!!!

Tomorrow is baby shower #2 and Sunday is baby shower #3!! I am so excited to see everyone! My mom is flying in today and staying the whole weekend! I haven't seen her since December, so I can't wait!

Here I am today....yes I am tan =). I insisted I get a spray tan if I was going to strut my stuff in a bikini.
