26 weeks and 4D!

Today was my 26 week appointment and we also had our 4D ultrasound!! The boys are both head up feet down still and the doctor said the likelihood of them both turning head down at this point is slim. Possible but slim. So, we may be scheduling a c-section, but we'll have to wait and see! At first the 4D was not going well because Hunter and Hays were NOT cooperating! Hays had his head completely turned so that all we could see was the back of his head. Both of them were sound asleep and wouldn't move at all. Also, the membrane between them gets in the way and makes the pictures blurry. She jiggled my stomach and made me lay is several positions, so we did finally get some good pictures. It's so crowded in there so they still aren't great, but you get the idea of how precious they are!!!

Ellie Rose and 25 weeks

I've been in Tupelo for the week visiting my parents. Mom and I got lots of Christmas shopping done and had fun just running errands. I also got to see Hunter and Hays at my dad's office again! They are still really active and are now kicking each other in the face. It's so funny to watch them do this on an ultrasound because one baby will kick the other and that baby will move. My next appointment is Wednesday and that is when we are doing the 4D so I can't wait! One day I was able to drive to visit my friend Anna Katherine and her new baby girl Ellie Rose. Max, her 2 year old, was at preschool so I didn't get to see him. Ellie Rose is 3 weeks old and absolutely precious! I spent the day there and we were even able to go to lunch. It was great to be able to catch up in person instead of always over the phone. So, I had a great time visiting with family and friends this week!

My belly is certainly getting bigger!!

Halloween

This was our second year to host a Halloween Party at the lodge and we had a blast!! I love seeing all the creative costumes and enjoying time with our friends.
We were Popeye and Olive Oil and Scout was a Bumble bee.
The funniest costume was Sharon and Billy(Will's parents) dressed up as me and Will! Sharon stuffed her dress with towels and an ace bandage. She even taped a chapstick lid as a protruding belly button for the full affect! She carried around a french bulldog that had a pregnancy test tied to its' neck. (That is how we told them we were pregnant!) Billy carried around a cell phone the whole night and made "deer deals". It really was hilarious!!!
I think her belly is pretty accurate:)
Will is getting lots of baby boy practice with Miller here!

Polo at the Point

Will and I went to Fairhope, AL to an event called Polo at the Point. It's a charity event that donated proceeds this year to Mercy Medical's Guardian Angel Program. It was such a fun and unique day! Neither of us had ever watched a Polo game, so that was so neat. We also enjoyed walking through all of the extravagant tents that were set up. However, probably my favorite part was seeing what all the women were wearing. The attire was very similar to the Kentucky Derby with all sorts of hats. Obviously, as you can see, I didn't wear a hat but I did have on tights and riding boots which is what a lot of the younger women were wearing.
