Adventures in Pregnancy

May started off with a BANG...Literally!!
I was driving to work in a rain storm and lost control of my car. I was driving on the freeway and began spinning out of control after hydroplaning. It was by far the scariest thing ever!! All I could think about as my car was spinning out of control is please don't let anything happen to my sweet little baby!! I was trying to rack my brain about how to handle the spinning (turn into it, break, turn out of it) and I just couldn't come up with what to do. I prayed to God that i wouldn't hit anyone else and that no one would hit me! But then how would I stop spinning?? Eventually my car did stop by hitting the cement barrier in the middle of the highway. Several people st oped to help me...I was a shaking, sobbing mess and could barely function to move my car. After calming down enough to think rationally the first thing that popped in my head was oh my gosh, is the baby okay?? With it being a Saturday I kept trying to call my OB, but the answering service that normally functions after hours, was not picking up...ahhhh...my next step was to call up to my work..I am so lucky to work with some amazing nurses!! My co-workers told me to head to labor and delivery so that I could be monitored...I slowly made my way to the hospital and got pushed on and poked for about 7 hours. The thing they were most concerned with...I was having mild contractions, normally no big deal....but after a car accident they were more concerned.
Finally I got sent home with orders to follow up with my regular OB Monday morning. I spent most of Sunday preoccupied trying not to stress out and knew that God would take care of everything and let my uterus relax. Come Monday morning I talked to my OB...she wanted me back in labor and delivery for some more monitoring to make sure my contractions had let up some. My sweet sister and husband came and spent the better part of the morning keeping me company. We waited and waited and waited for another ultrasound. The waiting paid off...It was so great!! We got to see our sweet little baby moving around so much (maybe she was a little stressed out...sorry Brenn), we got confirmation of those GIRL parts, she weighed 11 ounces, and everything else checked out...no more contractions....YEAH!!!!
All I have to say is Im ready to hire a chauffeur...

Some other exciting things going on in our life....
John has been asked back at Winfree next year. We are so blessed to both have professions that are in high demand and hopefully always will be :o) Not only does he have a wonderful job next year, he also got a raise...GO Hubby..bring home that bacon!!

Also this year was my first mothers day (well kind of) John surprised me with a sweet poem and a framed ultrasound picture of Brennley. He is so great with words and he was just a really sweet gesture...thanks babe!

Earlier this week we got a HUGE surprise on our front porch...A crib and changing table...from Nana Best!!! I am so excited...it is starting to feel more real. Still not 100% on how we are going to do the walls but we ended up picking the nursery that has the yellow, brown and red. I think it is going to look so great!!

Im heading to the doctor tomorrow so I should have an update soon with some pics :o)

my growing belly and her growing wardrobe

My body is already changing....the belly is starting to show itself for sure. Im okay with it....I know this is JUST the beginning of much more belly :0)

Im feeling great, just had my doctors appointment on Wednesday and i heard Brennley's heart beating (so comforting), did some blood work and was on my way! I have my next sonogram scheduled for May 18. I cant wait to get a really good look at everything...

In the mean time im feeling totally loved by all the great clothes from my wonderful friends and family. This little girl is developing a pretty good collection of some really cute stuff already. Thank you so much ladies!!

Confetti Eggs + Easter Bunny= Two Happy Boys

Thanks to Nana we had fun in the church parking lot with a dozen confetti eggs. Ty had so much fun...mainly cracking them on the ground, after each egg he would say "happy Easter" it was too cute

Parker just being his happy self watching all the egg cracking

For lunch we meet up with the Easter bunny and had some yummy seafood.

Both Ty and Parker loved the Easter bunny.....cant wait until next Easter and little Brennley will be here!

Nana even had orange peeps...ty wasnt too sure though

SPIDER MAN aka Tyler Cobb

Easter sunday after church we were in need of some entertainment that included the easter bunny. We headed over to pappadeauxs were not only did we find the easter bunny but there was a face painter there....

We really tried to get Ty to get something cute like a puppy dog but he was sold on spider man. There was no going back so here is our very own little web spinner :0)

Spring Break Fun

For Johns spring break we just wanted to get away and we knew the perfect place. I use to go as little kid and it was always so much fun. We headed out to Shreveport where Papa, my grandpa, has some land with a cabin and a pond. The drive over was nice and quick, the dogs even crashed in the backseat the whole way.







It was the best place to get some one on one time and just relax.
We even got the chance to read a really great book together called the marriage mirror. It didnt take time to find our way around that town. We found the WalMart and that was pretty much all we needed...i think we went there like 3 times. We cooked all our meals, played games, slept in, watched movies and went for walks, and just loved being together! We hope to take a few more trips before the little one arrives because we know the agenda will for sure change once Brennley is with us....but we cant wait!!

The drive up to the cabin

The digs...

John on the dock....

The dogs just loved it....Nelson was our little daredevil

I think he would have even gone swimming if we let him =)

One of the nights we headed up to the casinos...we stuffed our face at the buffet and even walked away with a little extra money in our pockets.

Thank you Papa for letting us use the cabin, John is already talking about going back!
