31 Weeks!

It's getting hard to believe that in 9 weeks or less Baby Girl Hardin will be here. I decided I needed to post some more belly photos since I haven't in a while. The pregnancy is progressing just fine with zero complications. Thats right, no diabetes this time around. Thanks to the gym and chasing Carter around..we are in good shape. Carter actually has a little understanding that what he refers to as "mommy's ball" is an actual baby inside my tummy. He will pull up my shirt and say "Hi bebe" (Bebe is how Carter says baby FYI)! It is too precious. Al, however, doesn't find it as amusing when Carter walks up to his tummy and says mama's ball.

**31 Weeks 1 day**

Surprise Lunch Visit!

**SURPRISE MAMA**

Carter and mimi decided to surprise me for lunch today and I met them at Burger King. It was so nice getting to see my little angel in the middle of my work day.

This is how Carter eats his fries..with a close fist.

Chowing down on some hamburger.


Got to have the apple juice.....

Happy boy!!!
Awww..Mama's got to go back to work = (

February 2010 Wrap up!

This February was a very busy month for us. We had some crazy weather at the beginning of the month and finished up with some nice sunny weather.

**Visit with Nana Bev**

Carter riding the car! I am not sure that I want him having a license this soon.

Having a drink before the train ride.


Nana and Carter riding around the Mall of GA on the choo-choo train.


Getting Carter to smile and look at the camera is quite an effort these days.

**Visit to the Yellow River Game Ranch**

It was a nice weekend for the game ranch. We enjoyed visiting with all the critters.

Carter and Daddy getting ready to look at the bears.

Carter loved petting the dear. We never get to see them this close.

Coyote!!!



The american buffalo


I snaped this little guy because he is so cute and he loved eating Carter's crackers.

Baby Update

Tuesday, we went and had a 4D ultrasound and baby girl Hardin is looking good. She is in the head first downward position and likes chewing on her umbilical cord, sucking on her toes, and hiding her face in the placenta. She also decided that she was going to take after her brother and only give us some profile pictures.

Do not disturb

Here she has her foot up and the umbilical cord breezing across her nose.

Cuddled up next to the placenta. If I could do it all over again, I would be next to the food source too.

The cord floating under her chin.

Happy Valentine's Day!

This Valentine's Day was a quiet one due to the snow. However, we still managed to make it a good one with stuff lying around the house and stuff I bought the week prior because we might be getting snow.

My beautiful flowers from Al. He must have also feared the snow because they arrived at my work on Friday!

Carter's valentines to Daaaaaa, Mimi, and Uncle Chase!

Carter's card to Daddy!

Carter's cards to Daddy, Pawpaw, Mimi, and Uncle "Niiiiiiiii" (Nick) and "Briiiiiiii" (Brandy). We were snowed in so I had to be resourceful. Not bad for stuff lying around the house.

Carter's Winter Wonderland

This past weekend, parts of Georgia got up to 4 inches of snow. Luckily, we were apart of the 4 inch area (unusual in the metro areas). Last year we received snow in March but Carter was too little to go outside and play. This year, Carter was ready to roll.

Got to love my Pj pants and rain boots. This was the day after the snowstorm.

Carter and "Daaaaa" in the melting field that was covered the day before.

Carter in his snow mobile and baby crockett hat.

The field from picture two a day before.

4 inches of snow!!! Yeah yeah, in the south we get excited over an inch..so what now?

Carter decided that he wanted to sit down. We aren't very color coordinated in our house as far as snow gear goes...nor prepared.

The only idiots with cars in the driveway and not the garage.

Carter and I out in the snow!

Somebody got caught without their mittens on...again.

The snow still falling.

27 Weeks!!!

This week was my 27th week of pregnancy. With Carter, I did not take many belly photos but out of the few that I did take..I was 27 weeks along. So I decided to make a comparison between the two. Baby girl Hardin is doing just fine. She is approximately weighing around 2.4 lbs and measuring around 14.5 in. She is starting to get covered in her cute little baby fat. Al and I are going to my glucose tolerance test on Tuesday followed by a 4D ultrasound.

27w4d with baby girl Hardin. I think I am busting out just a tad bit more this time. Not unusual for pregnancies conceived under 18 months after baby #1 (AA OB/GYN)

Carter Riley Hardin in mommy's tummy 27w4d.

I know it's a little blurry but Al worked a lot when I was pregnant with Carter so I took a lot of my own belly pictures. It seems I had a darker complexion with Carter then I do this time around..or maybe it is those electric green shorts (don't ask).
