New pics

Posted by Ashley Goode

We had some pictures done professionally to document the HUGE belly that I seem to have now. :) There is one more in the group but it is too big to fit into my scanner properly so if you come visit, you get to see it. :) Not much for news at this time, just hoping Miss Eva will decide to come a bit early for everyone. I want her to be able to spend as much time as possible with her Daddy before he leaves and all they have is webcamming together. Our next doc visit will be next week and I will update again at that point!!! Only 33 days left until induction day!!!!



















Almost 34 week ultrasound :)

Posted by Ashley Goode

We had an ultrasound this morning and figured out the mystery of the "bulge" under my ribs, it is Eva's cute lil' bum!!! It doesn't feel so good when it's pushing everything here and there but at least the mystery is solved. It looks like she may have my big toes as well, uh-oh!!! Its not like they are ugly, they are just huge!!!! Shawn tells me I have monkey toes, so it looks like Eva might be my little baby monkey. :) When she is old enough she will have pretty toenails to paint and make her Grandma Duree very proud!! If there is one thing my mom taught me, it was to always have my toenails painted, no matter how bad I feel. Oh, and excess polish comes off the skin in the shower!!! No worries!!!

Lots of love to my family today, and to Mom who would have been 52 years young with beautiful toes!!!

We're officially scheduled to be induced!!!

We had our 32 week appointment today and everything is looking great!!! Eva is in the 51st percentile for her size which is perfect!! :) Not too big and not too small. My blood pressure is normal, no weight gain this month, and we are measuring in at 31cm. We are on the books for induction on March 31st. We could have scheduled it for the 30th but then we would have had to see a different doctor and we love Dr. Pittard so we decided to stick with him. Eva could possibly be an April Fool's Baby!!! We have an ultrasound next week and our next checkup 3 weeks from today, so the end is very near!!!!

Shawn should have the date he is leaving any day now and his orders to Korea are on their way. Hopefully he will be done with work here at the beginning of March and then we will have some extra time to accomplish some things around the house that need to get done.

We hope everyone is doing well and will be enjoying a lovely Valentine's Day!!! Oh, and Happy Birthday to my brother Bryan too!!!!!

32 weeks and 7 to go

Posted by Ashley Goode

Well we are 32 weeks along and I am feeling a bit like a bus right now. Little Miss Eva is quite active and just moves all day long but is pretty still while I sleep, so maybe we are on the same schedule. I can only hope she'll sleep at night when she finally arrives, right? What news do I have right now? Hmmm..

Well Shawn only has about a month left at work here and then he should be on leave for about a month before he goes. So hooray for that! And boo for him leaving! Nana will be here the 31st of March and hopefully Eva will be here by then since they are inducing on the 30th. Auntie Vee is coming April 7th and Shawn will probably be leaving around then, so there will be lots of comings and goings. We are set and ready for Eva to be here and everything is in place except for my brain recently. :P

Here is a picture from today and I am all gussied up in my pajamas, so hopefully this satisfies everyone who has been asking!!!! I am large!!!!!!!  Shawn agreed to a pic of him in his pj's just to make me feel better, he is the greatest husband!!!
