February 8, 2008

It's been too long since my last post, I apologize. Trey found a new job with Summit Trucking, a division of TransWest. His new territory is Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. THIS IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES!!! He is enjoying learning about the product and being in a different industry. We are very thankful that a job came so quickly. God truly blessed us.


I will officially be 33 weeks on Tuesday. Whew! This pregnancy has flown by! The nursery is painted, set up, and ready to go. My friends took me to Babies r Us and Target to register last weekend, and it was quite an experience. I couldn't believe how totally clueless I was about what I would need. I gave my friend Shanon the scanning gun and followed Shanon and Amy around the stores. I don't know what I would have done without them. They're hoping to have the baby shower the first weekend in March, but it will depend on my mom's recovery.


My mom went to the doctor last month and was told that the tumor in her brain, near her pituitary, had grown. She would need surgery to remove it. Needless to say, she panicked and wanted to make sure she had enough time to recover before baby "Stella" arrived. She scheduled her surgery for February 21st. She will have to spend at least two days in ICU, and another three or so in a regular hospital room. Please, keep her and our family in your prayers. Angie will be flying down the 20th-24th for support. This is very scary for all of us and extra support from family and friends will be much appreciated.


On a lighter note, I had another 3D/4D ultrasound last week. It is now 100% certain that I'm carrying a girl. She is no longer breech. She weighs approximately 3 pounds and 15 ounces. Here are a few of the pictures:
