Little Man Love

Last weekend my family and friends threw little man a beautiful little shower! We were so blessed to receive so many nice gifts! A special thank you to my sister in law Kelly Adkisson for hosting it! We know most of you know his name already, but I still blurred it out on a few pictures! We'd like to keep some surprises until he comes!

Little Man, 32 Weeks

Today we had the opportunity to see our Little Man in action! At 32 weeks, Raschelle's doctor wanted a growth ultrasound! This ultrasound was unusually cool! Said baby, we are keeping his name private until birth, was extremly active! He was rolling and punching and kicking! He stuck his tongue out a few times, puckered his lips and we had the joy of watching him take a few practice breaths! Babies dont have to breathe until they are born because they receive their oxygen thru mommies placenta....so to witness a few breaths is pretty spectacular! He swallowed a few times too!

He is weighing in at 3lbs and 4oz, which is perfect for his growth! We didnt see the massive Myrick forehead that Ella was blessed with, and he has mommies big ol' chubby cheeks! Raschelle's blood pressure has been fabulous this pregnancy and the doctors said they are pretty certain that delivery will be around 39 weeks. She has to have a repeat c-section unless something miraculous happens! So we are looking to have little man here at the end of May begining of June! But, babies come when they are ready, so we are patiently awaiting!

Here are two pictures! They arent too clear, but little man was a bit too low to get a good picture of his face!

Look at that sweet chubby face!!! He opened his eyes a few times and blinked!

He looks like he is blowing bubbles but that is the umbilical cord! Love his little nose!

Easter 2013

This year Grammy and Grampa came over and spent Saturday and then Sunday morning with us. We headed out to the beach and had a fabulous time in the sun and sand! Then ate at Frenchy's on the beach! Mom and dad spent the rest of the afternoon helping us prep for Little Man's arrival. They built shelves, rearranged furniture, folded clothes, hung pictures, painted, fixed the shower....all kinds of things to help us out! And we are incredibly thankful for all they did! Especially Raschelle's tired body!!! Little Man is only 10 weeks away from arriving! We are so excited to meet him and see what difference he will make in our lives!

Easter morning we gave Ella a little basket and then headed to church for an amazing worship service and message!

Family pictures on the balcony!

After church we said goodbye to Grammy and Grampa and headed to the Myrick Annual Easter picnic!

Ella loved the Easter egg hunt and finding all the surprises in her eggs!

Meemaw and Peepaw always know how to spoil our little girl! (note the mouth full of jelly beans)

Auntie Kelly and Uncle Jeff!

Jenna and Zach!

Chillin with the Fam!

After Disney, we left daddy for a few days and headed to Melbourne! Aunt Jen, Ari and Ashlyn had come down and we wanted to get some time in with them! The girls played so nice together and even though it was cold, enjoyed being out side with Grammy and Grampa! Nothing sweeter than grandparents with their grandkids!

Disney!!!

Our sweet friend, who adores Ella, gifted us with Disney tickets for her 2nd birthday! With the impending baby and changes in the next year, we felt this would be a great time to head over and spend the day with our girl before her world changes!!! Needless to say, she had a fabulous time! So did we!!! Nothing better than seeing joy in your daughters eyes!!!!
