The next big event that we experienced was going to find out what the sex was!!! We went on November 24th ...here is a pic of Lee and I about to leave and head to the Dr's office:
We also had both Zan & Greg and Cynde & Mike show up at the Doctors office. We wanted them to find out after we did! I'm sure all the waiting room and nurses were wondering what the heck was going on!!! Lee and I went in first with the sweet tech Beverly (next time we go to have the 4-D I will take her pic and post it for you all to see). She measured the heartbeat, the diameter of the scull, and all kinds of other measurements, then she started to move that wand all around my belly. After a little while, she stayed put on one particular area and said, "well...." and pointed with her cursor right to the goods, then said "its a boy!" All Lee and I kept saying was "Wow" and "This is so cool!" He was moving all around and at one point he yawned for a really long time! You can see all of this on the video I am working on posting next time...(Keep in mind there are 2 sections...the break in the video is when Zan and Greg left and Cynde and Mike came in the room. The yawning part is the most amazing thing to see! Keep watching and wait for it!):
Here are some ultrasound pics:
Dad was so generous and gave Lee and I 2 tickets to the Iron Bowl, so that was our next adventure! Before the game we went to Gallette's and I has a cranberry and sprite. It was fun to go back there! I told Lee "I'm sure I am the only pregnany girl here in this nasty old bar!" During the game, it was misty the whole time and I ended up having to sit in Lee's lap most of the time because our row was super crowded. Of course the preggers ended up without a seat! But we still had such a great time and got to see lots of old friends!
We had a blast at our "Pappas Christmas" get together at Lake Martin! We played lots of pool with Will, Hunt & Tiff....
Starting to show pretty good by this point!!!!
Bathed the princess....
The lovely Isabella!
I enjoyed a glass of wine that took me ALL NIGHT to finish (it was even a 1/2 glass :)....
and watched Isabella open gifts...
After all the food at Thanskgiving and the lake, I looked like a butterball ham!!! By December 20th, at about 21 weeks along, I looked like this....
At this week, http://www.i-am-pregnant.com/ said: "Your baby will be getting much larger during the second half of your pregnancy. Your baby's crown-to-rump length at this time is 7.2 inches and she weighs approximately 10.5 ounces. Your growing baby is about the size of a large banana."
Finally, Christmas rolled around and we had THE FINAL (and Zan says "I mean it, this is the last one!") Christmas Eve party at the Pappas household! It was so fun, until I crashed and had to go lay down in the back because I was sooooo tired and couldn't hang. But up until that point, it was fun....
Of course, by Christmas night, both Rebecca and I were exhausted, as you can see in our pictures! :)....
The next big adventure was Tiffany's suprise party in Birmingham! Here is the reaction....
Here is the proud Daddy (Hunt) and Daddy-to-be (Lee)....
Of course, I couldn't hang again and made Lee take me home from the Karaoke bar before I even go to see Tiff sing on stage :(
This was one of the first times I really felt the pregnancy frustration. It is hard when everyone around you is having a great old time, drinking cocktails, and has all kinds of energy, and you are just feeling the total opposite! :)
Nursery time!!!
Nesting has begun in full force! I got on a rampage around the middle of January and the house had to be cleaned out or I couldn't stay there anymore! :) So the room we originally had as our office/day bed guest room was cleaned out....and Lee started painting...
Mags helped (of course)....
