Ultrasound News!

I was honored to attend a bachelorette party for a sweet girl, Libby. We graduated a year apart at Farmington, and Miranda opened up her beautiful home to celebrate Libby's upcoming wedding. Libby is a pilot and flies big commercial planes- she is such a neat, fun person to talk to! The next time you fly here in the South, Libby may very well be your pilot!









I also recently finished a tile for a pregnant bloggy friend whom I have never met in real life, but love reading about on her blog. I have stayed fairly busy painting tiles, although I have not been great to keep up with them on the blog. My client was wonderful to work with- she knew exactly what she wanted, which made my job so much easier!

















My granny and I spent a day together a week ago making homemade vegetable soup- lots of soup!! We ended up canning 31 quarts! It will make wonderful meals this winter when we are busy with baby McCash. I love that I have my granny around to teach me the finner art of domestic duties, like canning!









One of my oldest friends from 7th grade, Kim, came to visit from Oklahoma. We had fun visiting and catching up! We see each only maybe only twice a year, but no matter how much time has passed, we always hit it off just like we did when we were 13 years old! : ) I feel so blessed to have old friendships thriving in my life.







This week I also had lunch at Tim's Pizza in Fayetteville with one of my very best friends (and my hair stylist), Lyndsey and her son Hudson. We shopped at Hobby Lobby and then they come over to our house for a few hours. Lyndsey is a wonderful person and I love her dearly!







This last weekend, my mom bought, as an early baby gift, a really plush chocolate glider from Babies and Beyond that I have been eyeing. It is quite a lot smaller than the other chairs they sell, which made me want it! Our other nursery furniture is huge and I was afraid to go too big! Thank you, mom! I love it.







On to more exciting news, we went yesterday to the ultrasound. I had a little cheering section that went with me- David, mom, and Rachel. My mom brought her camera and it was fun to have a group of family during such an exciting time.






































For friends and family anxiously awaiting the news......


----- We Are Having A Sweet, Little Boy!!!!!-----



In the above picture, at the bottom from left to right, you can see toes and the top of the thigh. There, directly above the thigh is our little boy part! : ) The other leg is not really visible in this picture, but there is no doubt baby McCash will be a boy. His heartbeat was in the upper 150's and all looked well. The only comment the ultrasound tech. made that stuck with me hours later was that he has really high cheeckbones and really, really full lips. In fact, she said he had "Angelina Jolie" lips, which made us all laugh!

I have contacted a lady here in NWA to arrange a meeting to create some custom bedding. We are really excited and David is just giddy. He has big plans for golfing, motorcycling, skiing, bug catching, football throwing, and Razorback attending memories in the years to come. David wants to teach him math, how bridges are made, what putter to use, how to ski downhill, and how to to get really good grades. I just look forward to little checkered shorts, bedtime stories, and being a momma to a sweet little blonde haired boy! : ) Although I do plan on turning him into an avid reader, a musician, and an animal lover! Ha, ha! I know, I know... we will get what we get. But- above all, we want him to be happy!

Yes, as soon as things get organized and calmed down around here, he is hoping to go on a road trip. Will let you know more later. Give our love to all. Jaqy & Terry. PS I have a ton of news about Terry's health but no need to go into it until we have all of the facts, ourselves. Surgery on his Thyroid 8-20-08. Russ's health has not improved much, but better yet, has not gotten worse!!!Q

  51. Ok, I haven't even read the post yet, I just skipped down until you told us the good news-ha! CONGRATULATIONS!! The hardest things so far with boys, that I've found, is shopping for them. There is less to choose from and not as much cute stuff--but that only means you buy more b/c when you do find something you HAVE to buy it-LOL! You are going to be a great boy mommy. Can't wait to see the nursery plans. Now, I've got to go read. :)

    ReplyDelete
  52. I didn't know that Libby was a pilot, and that you girls were so close in age. I think of her as being so young-ha!

    LOVE the glider. It looks so comfy and such a nice deep color. Great gift, mom! :)

    The pics at the u/s are precious. What a wonderful moment to have on film. Looks like you have an awesome doctor too. Congrats again!
