Precious Face, Our Baby Girl!

Proud to show off our little blessing Miss Lainey Ray!!
Today mommy went and got her 3D/4D sono..just in the nick of time! @ 32 weeks & 4 days...this is pretty much the cut off due to baby getting big and hard to capture photos! But we did it and she was very cooperative!!
We tried this last week when your Grammy, Pappy, Aunt D and Daddy were there to see you, but the technology was down & everyone missed out today besides mommy!!
But we have plenty of photos and video to view of you!!!
Very excited to see our baby girl in about 7 weeks!! Maybe sooner if you would like that to happen ;) Grammy says she thinks somtime end of March but only time will tell!
~A few characterics that Mommy sees in you....can't wait till you are here so we can see for sure! But until then this is what Mommy thinks ;)....of our bundle of cuteness!~

1. Think you may have Daddy's NOSE!
. The sono. tech immediately said "wow. pretty lips!" yes, I can def. tell they are full and pouty, thinking you may get your way toooo many times with those things!!...Mommy's lips!....PS. I told your dad today that I think you had my lips and daddy piped up and said well I have full lips too ;) yes, Daddy wants you to be just like him! *happy tear*
3. The tech. says your face is very filled out and Daddy has had no doubt that you will have Chubby cheeks just like Mommy..
4. My most favorite feature that I was looking forward to seeing if you had was Mommy & Daddy's DIMPLE in your chin....and YES....after looking at you...there it is!! Yea!! Now Mommy, Daddy, Aunt D, Poppy (Gpa Sleeth), & Meme (Gma Bloodworth) all have the same chin ...<3!!
5. We see that you also have a big foot...Let's just claim Mommy on that one!



This is what love is.......


Can't wait to get ahold of you!





Your Due Date: April 11, 2011 is just around the corner!
Mommy is very ready!! I feel you getting very big and hanging out very low in mommy!
The sono. tech says your head is down and ready to go!!
Your big feet are moving all around right under mommy's ribs....the pitter patter of your feet and movement of your body daily are incredible to mommy!
You had your 1st Hiccups about a week ago and yes, mommy thought you did not like the way she was laying in bed only to find out...Hey! She has the hiccups!
Your adorable little nursery, your very own room, is 95% complete!! Mommy is in LOVE with it and know you will fit right into it!! I find myself peeping in every so often to look at it and your big brother Olly, well he LUVS sissy's shaggy rug!! When we are in your room, he is right there on your rug sucking his favorite "bankie"...You and him are going to fight over all blankets in the house, I just know it!!!!
Grammy and Aunt D are helping out mommy so much during the last weeks! Grammy visits and gets tons of your clothes washed, bed linens washed and so forth! Thanks Grammy!
Well we are looking forward to our shower this next weekend! Lots of your friends & family will be gathering together to celebrate you !! Mommy cannot wait to see the turn out and see everyone!!
We are ready for you...just a little longer Miss L!
love. Mommy.

This was not your typical Apple Juice ;)









On the menu: Baby Back Ribs, Sausage
Cream Corn
Beans
Potato Salad
Peach Cobbler
and all the fixins'


Speaking of the Potato Salad...it was the most popular dish of the night! As many asked how I made it....well easy, thanks to my sister-in-law Linda!

Dice potatoes in cubes-boil
add Mayo, Package of Ranch Dressing Mix, Pickles
Mix and Serve!

Yes, that simple....also you can add bell peppers, onions etc....due to mommas indigestion I made it simple and just added the pickles!
So all you ranch lovers out there this is a yummy simple recipe!!!!
What a fun way to be with our friends, Thanks for coming out and helping stock up on Miss L's diapers & wipes!!!!
Pics of her room will come soon along with her 3d/4d sono pictures we take this friday!!
