March Madness

I cannot believe 3 weeks have gone by since my last post! We've had a super busy March so far with house sitting, babysitting, nursery planning, parenting class, and of course the arrival of Mr. William Becton Spencer! I just have to show you some pictures of the big day and how precious he is! It has been so fun to see some of our best friends welcome their sweet boy and be there to experience it with them. We love you Spencers!

Getting all cleaned up! Just a few hours old!
Proud new dad and dad to be watching Becton in the nursery!
Lindsay and I with the beautiful momma! Did she really just give birth?!

Getting to hold 2 day old Becton! I may or may not have visited every day they were in the hospital...but hey, I work there :)

Love this picture...friends starting a new phase of life together!
  
Nothing sweeter than seeing my good looking hubby hold a baby :)

So that was definitely the big event of the week! Thank you Lord for a healthy baby and momma! Tami and I also have the same doctor so it was fun to get the inside scoop from her :)

I also had my glucose test this week to screen for gestational diabetes. I had to drink a REALLY sweet drink with 50grams of sugar (I chose fruit punch flavor) and then go to the lab an hour later to check and see how my blood sugar responded. Then I had a quick check up...belly is measuring good, blood pressure was great, and baby girl's heart beat was strong and fast as usual! The exciting appointment comes in 2 weeks at my 30 week appointment when we get a sonogram! woohoo. Can't wait to see her again! She is moving like crazy. Dr. Fogwell said her bottom and legs are up top which is why I am feeling her kicks right under my ribs :) She definitely has her daddy's energy level, ha. 

And I know I am overdue to post a belly pic so here I am at 28 weeks this past Wednesday...

28 weeks
By the way, maternity shorts are awesome. It's definitely the first time I've worn elastic pants since about 1st grade but they are so comfortable. Thank you Old Navy. 

Alrighty, well that's all I've got for now! There are so many exciting things coming up in the next couple of weeks...Miss Lola Houston's 1st birthday party, trip to FL with the Bowens (we leave Thursday!), shower in Shreveport on April 7th, baby girl's crib being delivered! And actually in just a little bit I am headed to a prenatal massage that my mom scheduled for me...could she be more awesome?! I am seriously so so thankful for how the Lord is blessing us during this time through so many of you guys...our family and friends. John Paul and I are so grateful and we love you!

  1. Katie!! I just found your blog!! Couldn't be more excited for you guys to be having a girl. I'm a little partial, but girls are AMAZING - you and John Paul are going to be fabulous parents!! I know Dr. Fogwell actually (he's a family friend of Trent's family) and he's such a great guy. Glad you have him as your doc! Blessings to you guys!!
