3d Ultrasound

So, a couple days ago (august 4) Andrew and I went to get a 3d ultrasound done so we could see our Layla!

The office was SO beautiful and relaxed! Blues, and Greys, and browns all around, VERY elegant! So from the moment we walked in we were excited, and relaxed.

I layed down on the table, and looked forward to see a giant plasma screen on the wall which is where we got to see our Layla! And she was (and is) beautiful! Her umbilical cord kept floating in front of her face, but we were able to see through it.

She was right against my skin, perfectly positioned for the technician to get amazing shots! As i said, the umbilical cord got in the way at one point, so Daddy started poking at my stomach and talking to her, and she started moving..That was a perfect moment :)

Here are some pictures from the apointment..Andrew and i both think she looks like me...<3

Pouty lip <3

(thats the umbilical cord in front of her eye FYI)

Resting her chin on her hand <3

 And that's our Baby Layla at 30 weeks <3
Definitely a beginning of a beautiful little girl!

Layla's florida Baby Shower

Well, it has been a while since I blogged about our baby girl! (I am now 31 weeks)

 June 4-11 (22 weeks pregnant) I went to Florida to visit my family and friends, as my husband was away to AT(annual training) for the army for two weeks!
 June 7th, my friends Amy and Bethlee through me a baby shower at Too-jays. It was a lot of fun, got some very cute outfits, a few books for my Layla to enjoy, and a bunch of gift cards/money (which is what we requested, since i had to fly all of this back to NY alone!)
 I was very happy to find that my grandma (nanny) and her friend Mrs. Diane Baker could make the 45 minute trip to be there for it! That was very special to me.

 It was weird realizing that it was MY baby shower! I had been to very few baby showers in my past, they were ALWAYS fun...But it was just bizarre to see that I was the "mommy to be" that the shower was for! I loved every minute of it...I ordered chicken fingers though, I won't make that mistake again...they were NOT good haha. Maybe it was because I was eating SO much Chick-fil-a that week (since we don't have any in New York), the competition wasn't fair. :) I will end this blog with a few pictures from the Party.

These are the lovely daughters of the ladies who threw the shower for me! <3

she waited the WHOLE night to help me cut the cake haha

Amy, who helped throw this for me, and her 5 month old Desmond

This was definetly a help to the Beginning of our little girl, and preparing for her!

There will be another baby shower for my Layla this Saturday (august 11th) So there will be yet another blog coming soon, As well as one to talk about our 3d ultrasound experience! Keep an eye out for those!
