Being a young mom means we met a little early, but I get to love them longer.

Bahahaha!!

So yesterday after the party my mom, my sister, my mom's friend, and her friend's daughter stuck around for awhile. We were all just sitting around talking about anything and everything, then we started talking about who is going to watch Grace while I'm in labor, since my mom is going to be in there and as of now Chris' mom is going to be in there.. Chris' mom wants her husband to watch Grace while I'm in labor, but I don't. The man has never had any kids of his own, and yeah he is good with Grace, but he has never watched her alone, and there is no telling how long I will be in labor, so I just don't trust my daughter with a man who has never had any kids of his own for that long.. is that wrong? I really want my nana to watch her since she will probably be the one watching my sister too (since my mom will be in there with me), so Grace will have a familiar face with her, and my nana had 5 kids of her own, 8 grandkids, Brentley will make her 5th great-grandchild, and she is raising her brother's two boys now. She knows what she is doing.

But anyway... the funny thing was, when we were talking about it, I wasn't even thinking and I was like, "Who watched Grace last time?" It only took me about two seconds to realize what I had just said, but it was hilarous because my mom said she actually started to think about it!!! I am just so used to having her here with me, and having to get someone to watch her during important events that it didn't even cross my mind that SHE was the one being born last time!!! LOL.

I can't tell the gender yet, but I want to talk about the appointment..

I can post this pic because it doesn't tell the gender or say the name :) "It's" got daddy's big lips! I'm never going to have a kid that looks like me :( Lol.
Everything was measuring right on target.. they baby is measuring at 9 oz. :)

Now for me.. I have lost another 2 and a half lbs. This coupled with my fairly frequent dizzy spells and the dry mouth/metallic taste in my mouth I have been having kind of concerns her. She didn't really say why. She just said that she wants to see me every 3 weeks instead of the normal every four weeks because she wants to make sure their isn't a trend going on. Basically for now she just wants to keep an eye on things. So I go back April 22nd.

As for the gender, those of you who don't know yet can find out tomorrow. For those of you who do know, I will also be posting pictures of Grace making the Build-A-Bear and pictures of the gender party :) Now I am off to bake cupcakes.
