Newlyweds: The DeWitte's: Changes: 2009 to 2012

Last week, I got a phone call from the team manager at work asking me if I would like to volunteer (or I guess I should say volunteer my baby) for an OB Ultrasound class that was going to be held at Edmond Integris.

Any reason to take a peek at my baby? Yes please! :)

Of course, I gladly agreed (after rearranging my work schedule to make it work). It was actually perfect timing because I was thinking about taking a look at her at work sometime soon since it has been a while since my ultrasound at 19 weeks. I know not everyone has this luxury of getting an ultrasound whenever, so I realize I should count myself lucky that I have that option. But this way, it was for teaching purposes so of course I will let fellow co workers use my baby!

Everything still looks great of course! It was actually really nice because the teacher there went through and explained everything they were looking at. So it is definitely reassuring to here her repeatedly say, "That looks great! Everything is normal." Music to a new mommy's ears.

The best part of the ultrasound was catching a big yawn from Ava. So sweet! All those reflexes are developing just perfectly!

Here is the profile picture we got. I'm pretty sure she is going to have my nose. Her nose continues to be very evident on the past two ultrasounds. Wes and I decided that it looks a lot like mine. Only time will tell!

Although I am very glad I got her nursery pretty much done already, I have started to wish I maybe didn't get it done QUITE so quickly. There just isn't anything to do....I go in there and look around, trying to find something to decorate or work on....nothing...

I have told myself not to buy any more clothes (or really anything for that matter) until after I have at least one baby shower.

Today I broke down and bought her a few things. This is probably only a glimpse of what is to come. I'm sure I will always find something to buy her while I'm out running errands. :)

We have a new Carter's that just opened up near our house so I just had to go in and take a look around. And what would ya guess that are having a big Memorial Day sale; 70% off!

Ugh...so tempting...and I had a 20% off coupon to use before the end of the month.

Okay...just a few things! So I walked out with a couple pairs of socks, bibs, stuffed elephant, bows, and one three piece outfit. I didn't go too crazy but did break my rule of not buying any more for her. It's so hard not to!

The only other purchase that has been made is a car seat, base, and stroller I bought from a co-worker. The car seat was barely used and the stroller was still in the package. $150 seemed reasonable for all three so I jumped on the opportunity. One less thing to worry about.

The weeks are starting to go by slower and slower lately. We are ready (probably but not at the same time) for her to be here. The thought of still having to battle the summer heat while pregnant makes my due date seem that much farther away.

I know...I know...it will be here before we know it. I am trying to be patient and enjoy the pregnancy (and our freedom) while I can. :)

Yesterday was Wes and Dave's 27th birthday. The tradition is to go to Red Rock and eat dinner. This year was no different and so Red Rock it was!

For the first time in a loooong time I actually remembered to take pictures. Surprising, I know!

Since Red Rock has become an annual occurrence I wanted to be sure and take pictures and compare with previous years. This will be the 4th birthday Wes and I have celebrated together. The first birthday was just one month after dating and now four years later....married with a baby on the way. Time sure does go by quickly, whether you want it to or not.

Regardless of how fast we feel that life is moving, we are so incredibly happy and so excited to take on the next journey that is ahead of us. God has been faithful in our lives and has blessed us beyond what we could have ever imagined.

Life is moving fast but life sure is good. ;)

I have started another tradition of making Wes and Dave's birthday cake every year. You may remember my post about the carrot cake I made a while back and it has become their favorite. I got creative with the decorating this year. :)
