Finally! Pictures!

 Hang on. Can't... lean... forward. Baby foot in ribcage.


Okay, I'm good. Here's a slightly random photo montage of the last few weeks in chronological order:



12/1/10 Released from the hospital. Here are my lovely new bracelets, complements of Banner Desert Medical Center. The "allergy" tag was for... drumroll please... peanuts.
I got poked by needles 10 times. Did I mention that? I'm kind of a show off about it.






Here is the front of my shower invitation. Picture taken by Jen Roberts of Green Apple Images





12/4/10 And here's me... the lump. At the baby shower! We decided to go with a Christmasy theme since my mom's house was already deliciously decorated. Everything was beautiful from the food to the decor, put together by Mom, sisters, sisters-in-law, and Mother-in-law
I sat in this chair for the majority of the time. The only time I got up was once to use the potty... and to grab more food while I was already on my feet. I am the bottomless pit after all.





 And here's some of the adorable gifts I recieved! 
Here are three BEAUTIFUL quilts my mom made. Ah, can't stand the cuteness.






 A few little outfits (lots of ladybug stuff! Yay!) :)






 Dresses too stinkin cute for words. The one on the left is from my sister Jen, middle from my MIL, the right from my sister Jess.There were LOTS of other very, very cute things, but these were just a few that I pulled out for pictures. Ladybug will not be in short supply of cute jammies and comfy blankies!






12/10/10 And here I am at 34 weeks. 35 on Monday! This picture was taken the same day I came back from the doctor with a report that the preeclampsia symptoms are GONE!!!! I still need to stay on bedrest because that's probably why the symptoms have gone away. But it's truly amazing to have that little boost. Prayers are working! And they always will. :)






And last, but best of all: a new picture of Ladybug!! She's so cute and the picture is so clear! Technology is truly astounding.


I love you, my sweet girl! Keep being strong, keep kicking mommy, and let's astonish all these brilliant doctors by how well you do and how fast you heal!

Best wishes for everything from Wales, UK. Glad to hear that the pre-eclampsia has gone, keep resting up and willing that little one to stay inside as long as possible!
