Busy time of year...

Our 6 year anniversary was this weekend, so we went downtown and ate at PF Chang's. Mmmm....It was fantastic. Every pregnant girl should go there.

Speaking of pregnant girls, Nicole's baby shower was this weekend. There were 4, yes 4, of us that are pregnant! Aren't we fabulous? Maegan is due at the end of August, Nicole is due at the end of October, I am due at the beginning of September, and Kacie is due in November. The best part is that we are all having GIRLS! I see some tea parties in our futures...

My friend Miranda just had her baby this week and she is beautiful. Her name is Brinnley and she has a full head of hair already.

In other news, I am starting to work in my new classroom this week. It is going to be so cool! I am really looking forward to working at North Joshua. I will be teaching 4th grade Science and Social Studies.

Jason is really getting excited about Gracie. We went to visit Marilyn at work yesterday and he was telling everyone that he was going to have a little sister. It was so good to see him so excited about it. He has been great with his baby cousin Elizabeth. We went with them to the doctor yesterday for her '3 week old' appointment and she has gained a pound and and inch!

My appointment last Friday went well. The doctor says I'm right on schedule. I go again next Friday and then I start going once a week! It is getting close!

I'm an Aunt!

2 weeks ago today, I became an aunt. It is so fun! Roy and Victoria were blessed with a baby girl on July 7. Elizabeth Ann weighed in at 5 pounds 7 ounces. She wasn't expected to be here until July 23rd, but it was a nice surprise! Victoria and Elizabeth are both doing great. They come over and visit Jason and me sometimes and he LOVES her. I am so happy that he was at the hospital for Elizabeth's birth and has been around her so much. I'm hoping it will help him when Gracie gets here. We'll see in about 8 weeks...

What a week!

Last Saturday, we got our first glimpse of Gracie's face. I can already tell that she will be adorable. It was such a great experience having the whole family there to see her for the first time. She was a little camera shy, but after 2 sessions, we finally got some face shots. We saw a couple little smiles and some long eyelashes.


Right after the sonogram; Jared, Jason, and I set out on our trip to Galveston. Jason was so excited to see the beach! We had a great time at Moody Gardens seeing all the cool animals and the 4D movie. We loved hanging out at the beach! Jason had his first boogie board lesson from a seasoned pro, his daddy. We also explored the beach and found some crabs, it was so cool! We went on a boat tour of the harbor and saw some dolphins. It was a great vacation!

It's a GIRL!

We found out that we will be having a baby girl and we couldn't be more excited. Those that know the Grubbs' family tree know how cool this is. There has not been a girl born to a Grubbs in a very long time, so we are making history! Jason was able to go with us and see his baby sister on his birthday, it was a very cool moment when he was able to hear her heartbeat and count her toes...
I have already found bedding that I love. Her room will be decorated with ladybugs! The pictures online don't do it justice, so I will just tell you about it. It has all my favorite things: black gingham, green with white polka dots, red flowers, and ladybugs! It is simple and adorable.
We are 22 weeks along now and I am feeling great! My belly is growing a little bit every day (especially after lunch). The baby is about 11 inches long now and almost weighs one pound! Our next visit is May 22nd.

Another Visit...

We went for another doctor visit last week and everything is still great! I scheduled my ultrasound for April 24, Jason's birthday! Make sure you vote because there are only 3 weeks until we find out what we are having! Jason thinks it is a sister...
I am really starting to show. I am almost fully dependent on my growing maternity wardrobe and loving every minute.
I've learned that my baby can hear us now, so Jason and I sing to the baby just about every night. Jason even asked the baby what it wanted for dinner the other night. With the way he talks, the baby will know his voice for sure!

We're 14 Weeks Along!

Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb.
Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces. He's starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over his body. Though you can't feel his tiny punches and kicks yet, your little pugilist's hands and feet (which now measure about 1/2 inch long) are more flexible and active.

Well, I finally went shopping for some maternity clothes. I still haven't gotten my bikini yet, but I do have a favorite picked out. Most of my clothes don't quite fit anymore...The clothes are so much cuter now than when I had Jason! Now everyone has maternity: Ann Taylor, Gap, Old Navy, OH MY! I am so excited. I am trying not to get carried away, but it's really hard for a girl like me who loves to shop.

Victoria and I went to Babies 'R' Us and got her registered. All the stuff is so cool! I can't wait to find out what I'm having so I can go register. Our next appointment is April 1st and then we should have our big ultrasound soon after that. I can't wait!
