Early Valentine's/Birthday FUN
Yesterday 2/12 we went to the Circus here in Raleigh to celebrate early Patrick's birthday and Valentine's day!.. It was so much fun! As I sat there watching it, I realized this was one of our last dates before little Bralyn arrives and we become a family of 3. I am so excited for that, but a little bittersweet to think it isn't just us anymore!
I am sure we will have another date night before she comes in 4 weeks, but the CIRCUS was a BLAST!!
Patrick's birthday is this coming Friday, he will be 29 years old! I tell him all the time, he is a OLD MAN :) lol.. I can't wait to celebrate with him!
Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and I became a very crafty girl this year! I will have to wait until tomorrow to post what I made him, but I was very proud of myself haha!! :)
Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL Valentine's Day with that special someone in their life!!

Updates/News
Wow!, I realized today I haven't written on my blog since 29 weeks.. So sorry I am so behind!!. Tomorrow we will be 36 weeks, so I guess the last 7 have been just crazy weeks!!
We have had some Baby Showers, Celebrated My birthday, friends baby showers, new additions to the coaching staff family, travels, setting up her Nursery and so much more! January and February have been very fun but busy months for our family!.. I am excited for this coming weekend, we will have little Bralyn's last shower with the coaching staff!! What a blessing they are to us all!! :)
We are almost done with everything for Bralyn, which is a huge blessing and stress relief!!
I will upload some pictures of the last 7 weeks! :)
But the basic update, is that we are doing great! Patrick is working all the time, and in the last 7 weeks, we have had snow 3 times! I have enjoyed some snow days with him, but I am glad that they didn't have too many! He is trying to save his days to be with me and Bralyn when she arrives!
We joined Piney Grove Baptist church the first weekend of January and LOVE our new CHURCH home! They are such a blessing to our family and have made us one of their own!!
My wonderful Friend Lauren Rimpf, had her little baby GIRL!! Lila Jone Rimpf on Jan 31st.. I am so excited we both are having little girls and they can be buddies!! I have missed spending some time with her these last two weeks, but looking forward to letting our little girls meet soon!
Well lets see what else has happened?? We had a wonderful Coaches Super Bowl party and got to spend time with wonderful friends! I am so thankful and blessed to have all of the coaches wives in my life! THEY ARE WONDERFUL women and FRIENDS!
As I said a little earlier, the Nursery is DONE! YAY.. minus the curtains and a few little things, but she won't be in there for a little bit, so we can wait for now on that part!! We have been so blessed by showers, from friends and family, we are so GRATEFUL and SPEECHLESS at everything Bralyn has gotten! We cannot wait to meet her!
My appointments have been great! Her heartbeat wonderful!.. My Iron was very low after my Glucose test and I have been taking an Iron Pill and it is helping greatly!.. My heart would race and I would feel light headed, and this as helped so much!! Pregnancy brings out all kinds of things anyway, so I have all the normal things.. swollen feet and hands, BACK ACHE BAD!... uncomfortable, headaches sometimes, HUNGRY alot and everything else in between! Not to mention the NO SLEEP, but she is preparing me for Mommyhood!!
I am going to promise to keep better track of the blog! I will be 36 weeks tomorrow 2/14! VALENTINE'S DAY!.. And I have my last 2 week appointment on Wednesday of this week 2/16. I can't believe after that I will be going weekly!! CRAZY how fast this pregnancy has gone!!

29 Weeks
29. Weeks
Bralyn can be as tall as 17 inches now and can weigh nearly 3 pounds. (she is measuring a little bit bigger then that). She however is coming pretty close, or within 3 inches of her birth length now, but still has a lot to gain. Over the next 9-11 weeks she will more then double in weight. As she plumps up the room in my belly will start to feel a little cramped, making it less likely that I can feel hard kicks anymore and start feeling just jabs and pokes of elbows and knees!
What a big girl she is now :) .. can't wait to meet you sweet Bralyn!!

28 Weeks (during Christmas Break)
28. weeks
We were 28 Weeks on the beginning of the week before Christmas! But here was the update.
This week starts the beginning of the 7th month! Bralyn has reached over 2 1/2 pounds (2.6 to be exact). And she may be almost 16 inches long. Her skill this week is that of Blinking. She is also coughing, sucking, hiccupping, and taking practice breaths. Her lungs are nearly fully mature by now, but not ready to breath on her own quite yet. She still has lots of growing to do in the next few weeks.

Christmas in Jacksonvill Florida
Christmas in Florida was a WONDERFUL time this year!! We left on the night of the 25th to head to Florida, due to weather and snow coming to SC and NC. We got in pretty late that night, but found out later it was the right decision due to several inches that his parents had the next morning. Pictures on FB were so beautiful! And back in NC at our house they had a WHITE CHRISTMAS for sure.. with over 6 1/2 inches of snow!! (even on the 30th when we got home there is still white all over that hasn't melted yet).
We enjoyed a great Sunday with my parents and awaited the arrival of my sister and her family! Little Jadyn was so much fun this year, and I enjoyed watching her play and talk to us all! She says all of our names, including Essie (for Jessie) and Patick (for Patrick). She is a mess!!!
We opened our Christmas gifts on Monday the 27th.. and were blessed yet again with Wonderful things from our family!... Bralyn racked up on some more goodies and I got my BLACK Coach Bag and a NEW CAMERA!! YAY :)
We spent the day on the 28th shopping and enjoying family time, and the boys played flag football on the 29th.
I always enjoy celebrating my Birthday with my family, and this year was no different as we went to the Japanese Steak House on the 29th and enjoyed a wonderful meal, finishing with AMAZING Cupcakes!!
All in all it was a Wonderful trip! We were sad to leave on the 30th, but so Thankful to get to go back on the 22nd of this month!

Christmas in Loris with the Turners
We left on the morning of December 22nd, to head to Loris SC and visit Patrick's family for Christmas. It was a wonderful trip and visit! We hung out around the house on the 22nd and enjoyed family time. Patrick, his dad and brother played golf on the 23rd on a VERY COLD day in Myrtle Beach~ And we all went out Shopping at the Outlets on Christmas Eve Night!! IT was a wonderful time of fellowship, food and love.
We enjoyed greatly seeing the Kids get all excited about Santa, and even tracking him on the internet to see when he was arriving to deliver their gifts. They wrote a letter to Santa and set cookies out as well. :)
And the best part was the look on their faces when they realized they got what they asked for under the tree!! Priceless.~~
Patrick and I were blessed yet again with a wonderful Christmas! His parents got Patrick a Grill (AMEN~~) and little Bralyn got her very own CRADLE~~~... LOVE it! I can't wait for her to arrive and use it and all her precious gifts~~

Doctors Appointment and Ultrasound 28 weeks
We had a GREAT! Doctors appointment on Tuesday December 21st!... We got to See our Sweet Bralyn again via Ultrasound and were found out she is measuring 10 days ahead from original due date, which makes it March 14th, and she was already 2.6 pounds. BIG GIRL.. that is 61% in weight, which makes her a big baby girl! :)
PRAISE REPORT my Placenta has moved!! So we are so excited we might have a Natural Childbirth and also no more RESTRICTIONS!!
Her weight was actually closer to 29 weeks.. haha and record wise we were only 26 weeks 5 days.
However, she was 28 weeks in head measurements and legs, so we are going to go with the March 14th date!However, the doctor confirmed that they will be monitoring her growth and weight so I don't deliver a BIG 9 pound baby!! ;) Also, I am measuring outside of 29 weeks. So all in all we are just ahead in this Pregnancy!
My Glucose test was this day as well, and I PASSSED Amen! But my Iron is very low, I am taking some more iron pills to help that and my racing heart.
So far I have gained about 19 pounds all in all in the pregnancy ... so just 10-12 weeks left..
Next appointment and my last 4 week one, is Jan. 5th! SO EXCITED
