Swing....

Well today Chad brought home a gift that included something for the baby-a swing! A coworker of his is done with her kids and wanted to give it to us. Well he brought it home and it was the exact same swing that I had picked out, what are the odds? I feel truly blessed to have such wonderful friends and family:)

The only big thing left to get is a monitor other than that its all things $50 or under.

A picture of the swing its the little lamb so soft
The nursery is definitely looking like a nursery now, we just have to paint and get the crib setup and it will be all ready for Morgan Elizabeth's arrival!

She is definitely growing a lot right now I feel like my stomach is just stretching out it feels so weird nothing like it really to describe it to.

There is talk tomorrow of our district closing due to snow well see if it happens, part of me wants a day off but if we do close we will have to go in February and I think I would rather have the day then but Ill take a day off wont complain too much.

18 weeks

Head to rump, your baby is approximately 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and weighs almost 7 ounces. She's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, although he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.

Baby Morgan received lots of gifts toys, clothes, piggy bank, blanket and she also got her crib, dresser, playyard, and mattress along with her stuff that my cousin brought down. I will have to take pictures of it all at least the little goodies the furniture still has to be put together and all and room needs to be painted as well. She is one very loved girl by all our family and of course her mommy and daddy love her very much as well:)

I have a ton of pictures to upload from our Christmas so maybe tomorrow or Tuesday Ill get those uploaded before we head away for a few days to Nashville for the New Year!

One More week!

Next Monday at this time we will know if we are having a boy or girl, this might be the longest week ever anticipation for Friday to get here and school to be out for the 2 weeks + finding out the sex on Monday I absolutely cant wait to find out!

Yesterday my parents gave us our first baby gift it was a beautiful Noah's Ark Tree so cute, I will have to get a picture of it when I get that other picture-maybe one day.

I just want to know why at 6 wks May seemed like such a long distance that would never happen and now that Im at 16 wks it seems like its coming really quickly?!
