24 Weeks and 4 Days...

It's time for an update! We went to the doctor the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and everything is GREAT! Addie is now 1 lb. and 8 oz. and growing like a wild weed! She didn't really want her picture taken that day so we didn't get a GREAT ultrasound pict! I did get a picture of her sucking her thumb though. It was pretty cute!
Mom....I'm doing good, still trucking along. The two spots that were bleeding have completely healed on their own. Thank you God for looking out for Addie and I. I have been sleeping a little better at night but mostly in the recliner! I am so glad Brian wanted that recliner! lol It has come in handy during my pregnancy.
We are getting ready for Addie in so many ways. She has been given lots of clothes from many of friends and yes....I have been buying her outfits! It's so hard not to go in a store and see something that we think Addie would look so cute in! :) The child is sooooo very loved and she hasn't even gotten here! My little sisters are ready for her to arrive. Kenzie was in Texas at Thanksgiving this year and went shopping and found her some cute things for Christmas! lol It is very sweet that everyone is thinking of Addie at Christmas Time too! :)

I will give another update around Christmas Time! Our next Dr. Appt is December 31st...New Years Eve! I get to partake in the wonderful Glucose Sugar Test! Not looking forward to this at all! They will measure my belly and check heart beats, but no ultrasound this time! I am scheduled for a 3D in February!

Merry Christmas Everyone, and Hope that everyone has a Safe and Happy Holiday!

Love,
Ashley

This week is Thanksgiving and Brian and I are very thankful that my pregnancy is going well and Addie is growing as scheduled! I go back to the doctor this Wednesday and we will get to see heron ultrasound! Can't wait to see how she has grown! :)
For Thanksgiving Brian is off from the Police Department so I am especially thankful to have time to spend with him all week and I am off all week! We are having lunch at my Grandmothers and then will go to my Dad's house that evening for dinner!!!
I will get some much needed things done around the house for the upcoming holiday....Christmas! Friday is Black Friday Shopping Day...My favorite day of the year to shop and really the only time I will go in crazy madness! Time to get the house in order because Brians Family will be here for Christmas and we are SUPER excited!!!!
Brian put Addies Cherry Sleigh Bed together and it is so pretty! I can't wait to get her bedding and put it on the bed. It is just going to make the room look so girly and sweet!

Other than that we are just getting ready for the holidays with family and preparing everyday for Addie! :) Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone!

22 WEEKS......

ABOUT BABY ADDIE.....

Your Mini's hands have grown bigger and stronger and the nerve endings in her fingers have developed her sense of touch. She's in there testing out her newfound abilities by touching her face and grabbing the umbilical cord. Other cool developments:

You're already raising a little Einstein. Your baby's brain is developing at a clip this week and will continue to do so until she's five years old (so load up on the Omega 3)!

Baby's hair is now a short, bright white crop (Billy Idol, eat your heart out!). No matter what color it will end up—red, blonde, black—all babies' hair lacks pigment at this point.

Your baby has started growing taste buds and may be able to detect strong flavors in the amniotic fluid. If you could see inside, you might catch her sticking out her tongue for a taste and then grimacing, a sign that perhaps you should chill on the chili powder.

Your baby now weighs almost a pound and measures almost 11 inches from her head to her heel, which is how the Stretch Armstrong in your uterus will be measured from here on out. Up 'til now your baby's legs were curled tight up against her torso, so she was measured from her head to her bottom (or crown to rump) and not head to toe. This week your mini is about as long as a package of Oreos and as heavy as a large bag of tortilla chips. Who's hungry?

ULTRASOUND PICTS....

Another Random Ultrasound Pict...but a pretty good picture!

This was another one that we had done! This is a great profile of Addie!

This was the First Ultrasound that we ever had!

20 Weeks....The Half Way Mark!!!!!

Your Baby
This is the week most women get that ever-important gender-revealing ultrasound. If your baby isn't shy, the genitals can be clearly seen at this point. Will the baby pee standing up or sitting down? Well, that depends on how you potty train—but if you're interested, you could leave the appointment knowing if you're carrying a boy or a girl. Other highlights this week:

Your baby has established sleep patterns akin to a newborn now. Many babies even have a favorite sleep position already. Some snooze with their chins resting on their chests, while others nap with their head flung back. Many babies at this age fall into noticeable cycles of sleep and activity, so you may know before she arrives whether you have a night owl or an early bird.

If your baby is a boy, the testes have begun descending from the pelvis into the scrotum. If it's a girl, her uterus is completely formed and the rest of her "parts" are in development. (Is that TMI?)

From this point forward, your baby will put most of her energy into gaining weight and, not coincidentally, so will you! Right now your baby weighs approximately 10½ ounces and is about 6½ inches long, about the size of a can of Red Bull (which has way too much caffeine for a pregnant woman to be drinking).

WE ARE ALL REGISTERED!!!!

Addison Kate is officially registered at Babies R Us and Target! We are very excited that we have registered for some fun and of course cute things! It was a tiring trip but we got through it! I must say I had lots of fun picking out all her cute pink and green things! I can't wait to start buying her clothes for next spring! She is going to be one cute dressed baby girl with cute bows!!!!

You may look under Ashley Day or Brian Day in Memphis or Oakland TN

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Well, we had a Great Halloween this year I guess! Brian had to work and he got to hand out candy to the kids in Collierville and I got to go to a Halloween Party! I got to see lots of friends and have lots of laughs being sober this year! hahaha

The best thing is one of our dear friends that hosted the party Mark and Jencie Escue bought Addison her 1st Halloween trick or treating bag! It is a bat and I am going to have her name embroiderd on the back!

THANK YOU MARK, JENCIE AND CAN'T FORGET JAMIE!!!!!

BABY ADDISON AT 19 WEEKS

This week your baby starts bulking up and packing on the grossly named "brown fat" he'll need to keep warm when he gets evicted from his comfortable uterine home. Other highlights this week:Vernix, a milky white coating that protects your baby's skin, appears all over your baby's body to keep his skin from getting pickled in the amniotic fluid. Think of it as if your baby has been dipped in yogurt, like those delicious but fake-healthy yogurt-covered raisins and pretzels. Ooh, we feel another craving comin' on. ... Under the vernix, a fuzzy layer of hair called lanugo now covers baby's body. Don't worry, your Mini won't look like Cousin It when he's born. Most of the fuzz will fall off before baby makes his grand entrance.Good news: Your baby's kidneys are fully functioning and producing urine this week. Bad news: That means there will be lots of diapers in your future. But so far you're safe—at the moment the pee just passes into the amniotic fluid.He or she now weighs about 8½ ounces and measures 6 inches, as long as a turkey sub from Subway on warm, delicious Italian Herbs and Cheese bread (or Honey Oat bread, or Oregano bread or ...)

BABY DAY: 18 WEEKS AND 6 DAYS

Well we found out in August that we are expecting our first baby in March, 2010! We went for our 18 week check up today and Baby Day is doing wonderful! The best news from this appointment was that.................Baby Day is a Girl! That's right we are having a Girl and her name is going to be Addison Kate Day! We are super excited and can't wait to shop the pink shopping!

As for Mom: I am doing good! I have been lucky enough not to be sick through the pregnancy! I have had a few complications but things are healing as they should and everything is looking good! My doctor has no worries! We are just making sure that I stay checked up and taking care of myself!

The Days: Brian and Ashley

Brian and I met at Arkansas State University in the fall of 2002! Brian was friends with a friend of mine and we were introduced because we were both from Memphis! We became friends and started hanging out and then we were a couple! It was great because I always told my parents that I would never meet anyone from Memphis! Brian and I dated all through college and we are now married! Brian and I have been together for 7 years! Brian and I got married on May 3, 2008 at Carahill's Estate in Eads TN! It was simple and GREAT! We had our family and friends surrounded around us on such a special day!
