Working on the Nursery

More to Come!

Third Trimester

I am so happy to say we are in our 3rd trimester now. I am 27 weeks and 2 days pregnant. We are DEFINITELY having a girl, and we are naming her:

Blakely Gray Villemain

Here is the bedding that we want for her room (minus the sheet):

I can't WAIT to have her nursery painted, but still have yet to figure out how I am going to paint it :)

In other good news, I am waiting on another set of bloodwork results. If my antibody levels stay at 1:1 (the lowest possible), then I will be discharged from the specialist!!! how awesome is that! If you see me encourage me to drink water. Blakely's amniotic fluid was at a 9.6 last time we had an u/s. This is still in the normal range, but on the very low side of normal.

Also, my sweet sister and her best friend Barbara are throwing Baby Blakely a shower the first weekend in February! How fun, and what a sweet blessing!

80%

We were told yesterday at an ultrasound that it's 80% that this baby is a GIRL! how FUN! I also saw the 3 lines indicating girl parts and no boy parts...but the baby BARELY showed us the goods...so we'll have to get confirmation in about a week.

In other news. Huddy Buddy turned 2 on October 3rd. I have a few pics and some videos, but since we are moving this week, I'm having trouble finding the time and organization to get them edited, and uploaded :)

Where we are :)

Hi everyone. So, we have a lot going on right now, but it is all GOOD stuff. We are so thankful for all of the blessings the Lord has laid on us. We have sold our house, and have bought a new house. The closings are set for October 16th. We are very excited about this, and are praying against being anxious about things going well. So far, we have all of our ducks in a row and are even ahead of the game for packing! (Thanks to some sweet sweet friends who helped up empty our CRAZY large attic last night)

The baby seems to be doing well. I will be 15 weeks on Sunday. My next appointment is in 2 weeks with my regular OBGYN. After that appointment we start our specialist visits on Oct 22nd. On the 22nd, we find out whether the baby is a boy or a girl, and if this protein group that Scott has and I don't is affecting the baby. I am nervous off and on about finding that out, and we ask that you pray first and foremost that the baby does NOT have the protein group. If it does, we ask that you also pray that my antibodies are not aggressively attacking the baby's red blood cells.

A dear sweet friend has allowed me to borrow her medical grade fetal doppler, so that I can listen to the baby's heartbeat as much as I need/want to. I listen to it at least 3 times a day. I know that seems excessive, but it really keeps me calm. The heartbeat started out at 160-170 from weeks 10-13, and has now moved more towards the 150s, sometimes high 140s. This drop is normal in the 2nd trimester.

That's the update for now :) Please pray. We know that God uses your prayers to keep us calm and they are such a blessing to us.

PREGNANT :)

Hey all, we are 13 weeks and 2 days pregnant today! The baby's heartbeat is around 150. Our official due date is on March 21, 2010, but if all goes well, we will have a C-section scheduled for March 14, 2010. We've had 3 sonograms, and the baby looks great!

Vacation Videos!

We LOVE our FLIP VIDEO:

It's so small and SO easy to work with. The software is so easy to use and makes it so much easier to post videos than iMovie. WOOHOO.

Now that I'm done with my little commercial, enjoy a few vacation videos of Hudson!

We're BACK :)

Whew, so I feel SO behind in my family blog. I have TONS AND TONS of cute videos of Hudson that I need to get up. He's talking up a storm, walking, running, destroying things....all boy, all the time. Anyway. This past week, Scott's parents rented a house on Fripp Island for our 2nd annual Villemain family vacation there. It was WONDERFUL. We had so much fun relaxing on the beach and at the pool, playing cards, reading books, going for rides on the golf cart, going fishing, riding bikes on the island....ahhh I miss it already! Here are a few shots from our vacation!
