Mollie's 4D Ultrasound

Well, we went on Thursday for our 4D Ultrasound. I had said that I really didn't want to do the 4D because they kinda give me the "hibbie jibbies", but we wanted to see our sweet baby girl one more time before she arrives in April. For the most part, Mollie cooperated, but the ultrasound tech wanted her to make some kind of facial expressions, but she wouldn't. She did get upset with the girl and sling her head back a couple of times, wonder who she gets that from?!? Below are some pictures from the 4D. I can't really tell who she looks like, so I guess I will have to wait until April to see.

Finally...

Well...I am finally taking time to update our blog. We have been so busy, that updating my blog has not been one of my top priorities. I finally graduated with my Master's degree on December 19th. Yay! But the most important news from The Branch's is...

Jeff and I are expecting our first baby on April 10th. We are very excited that baby #1 will be a sweet baby GIRL!! We have been very busy getting the nursery ready for Mollie Elizabeth. This past weekend Mollie's Daddy, Poppy, and Ya-Ya put her furniture together and made the valance for her room. The material for the nursery has already come in and Mollie's Ya-Ya will begin working on her bedding soon. The only thing we are waiting on now is for the recliner we ordered to come in.

Time has flown by during this pregnancy. It seems like yesterday that we found out I was pregnant. I am 27 weeks now with only 13 (at the most) left to go. I have already started working on my maternity leave stuff for school. I am planning on starting my leave the first week in April and staying out with Mollie the rest of the summer. I have had a great pregnancy so far. The only thing that I could complain about is the fact that I failed my first glucose test. Therefore, I had to take the 3 hour test which was TERRIBLE! But, we made it through it and I passed the second time.

Below are a few pictures of the nursery so far. I will update the blog when the nursery is complete.

Vinyl Machine

Jeff recently bought me a vinyl machine, which is something that I have been wanting for a long time. I have not had much time this summer to play with it because of being in school, but am looking forward to playing with it now that classes are over. More information to come...

Family Beach Trip 2009- Orange Beach, Alabama

We have been so lucky this summer. We have gotten to go to the beach 3 times this summer, that's more than any other summer! We just got back from our annual family beach trip to Orange Beach. We stay at the Caribe on the bay! We are able to stay here thanks to the Foshee Family! They are generous enough each year to give us some family time at their AMAZING condo! Each year we make memories that I will never forget. Just like most of you...family pictures is a MUST! Below are a few of my favorites and yes...we are missing one person...Harris, he was not able to come this year because of work.

Newest Project @ The Branch's

Well most of you know something is ALWAYS going on at our house. Last summer Jeff and Josh tackled the sprinkler system so I HAD to find something for them to do this summer...TILE FLOORS! This project was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Jeff and Josh (or Pedro and Hector) did an AWESOME job! These two make a great team and we are so lucky that Josh is ALWAYS willing to help! THANKS JOSH!!!!

Snow in Montgomery?

Several weeks ago we woke up to snow. Yes, I said snow...in Montgomery, Alabama! It is always fun to get snow every once in a while. I would not like to live in a place that gets snow any more than we do. The snow did not last very long, but it was long enough for me.

Valentine's Beach Trip

This year for Valentine's and Jeff's Birthday, we went to Panana City Beach. This was only my second time going to Panama City. I was a little worried at first, but after getting down there I saw that there is a good Panama City and a nasty Panama City. We were in a great part of Panama City. We stayed at AQUA and it was really nice. We went with some friends of ours, Josh and Renee Dickerson and I am pretty sure that the four of us were the youngest people there. AQUA was filled with mostly...Snow Birds!

We had a great time shopping, eating out, relaxing in the hot tub, watching Fireproof, and we also cooked in a couple of times. Overall we had a great, relaxing weekend!
