Big Girl!

We had an ultrasound done today, in order to check Campbell's size. This also begins my weekly appointments. I was REALLY hoping that the doc would say I was dialated to like a 3...no such luck.

I was dialated to a 1 (better than nothing, right?) and 50% effaced. Campbell is still head down. The big news was how big our little girl is already. The ultrasound measurements estimated her current weight to be 7 lbs 11 ounces. I realize this is not exact, but she did say her ultrasound tech is generally plus or minus 5 ounces. Keep in mind that technically I still have four weeks to go!

The doctor said we would just take it week by week. She also said that they tend to gain 3/4 - 1 lb per week at this point. Nothing like a big, healthy baby, right?

Here's a few pics. They are not all that clear.
Profile shot...sticking her lips out.
Her sweet face. At the top you can see a chubby check and an eye. She has her hand up in front of her mouth.
Bottom of her foot and toes.

We'll see what happens in another week!

Campbell's Room





Thanks to Aunt Nik for the wonderful letters, GiGi (Russ's mom) for the beautiful bedding and curtains, and to my mom and Russ's stepmom for painting. It was definitely a group effort and I cannot WAIT to see our sweet little girl in her room!

Hope she likes pink....

Precious Friends

We had a baby shower in Waco last weekend, thrown by our dear friends from college. This has become a tradition, as we all meet from across the state to celebrate these new lives one by one. Words cannot express how overwhelmed I was by all the love these precious ladies put into the shower, and knowing that Campbell is already surrounded by so many incredible people who love her and are excited for her arrival.


Diaper Cake made by the talented Kristin ThornKatherine made the trip (by herself) with 2 month-old Dryver. She is so brave!
LOVE these girls!
Aunt Nik painted these amazing letters for Campbell's room. Can't WAIT to put them up.
Eleanor and her Campbell. Hope they don't have any objections to being best friends...cause they don't much have a choice.

So much thanks to our incredible friends.
