On this day three years ago, I was frantically running around Longview printing wedding programs and answering work phone calls...I will never forget how hectic of a day it was. Then mom, Nancy, Sally and I went to the Weisman Center to see how the decorating (lack thereof I should say) was coming along. I then almost had a mental breakdown so mom and Nancy had to "consult" with the owner on exactly what we wanted.
Ah, the good times!
At 6 pm we had the rehearsal at First Methodist, followed by dinner at R&R Bakery. It's hard to believe it's been three years already.
Ben and I have had a fun and exciting three years, but like all couples, we've also had our share of ups and downs. Life would not be complete without your best friend by your side at all times - sometimes you have to move mountains to realize the simplest things in life are the absolute best.
B Ross - here's to many more years together...life is truly only beginning for us. Allie P is going to be a little ray of sunshine that hovers over us for the rest of our lives.
With love,
Carm

We have a roof! (well, maybe not but it's at least covered!)
I get more excited about this everyday - our patio/backyard area is going to be phenomenal! We are in the process of deciding "yay" or "nay" on an outdoor kitchen...now if only Allie P will arrive in a timely manner so her parents can enjoy a nice refreshing glass of vino or cold cerveza together... :)
Our sweet pups decided they did not want to sleep last night...instead they wanted to eat weeds in the backyard. Turds...

What a weekend!
WOW, did we have one busy, exhausting but fun weekend. Ben's college roommate - Ross - and his wife Erin came to visit us from Houston before Allie arrives. Ross, Ben and I were best friends in college so we re-hashed embarassing stories and laughed the entire weekend. We went to a LSU baseball game, tailgated, ate dinner with friends and hung out in "Iraq" (aka our backyard) at night.
Today, we went to the Angola Prison Rodeo which was really a cool experience. If you haven't been, I highly suggest going at least once. It was warm and humid outside...NOT a good combination for 33 weeks pregnant. Check out my swolen "Shrek" feet!
...I think I "overdid" it this weekend!

Addition Pictures
The addition is coming along! Today the contractors framed the screened/covered porch areas and tomorrow we should have a ceiling/roof. Here are some updated pictures I took this afternoon.
From the back of the yard looking at north side of addition. Bedroom is to the left (you can see the window slots that need to be cut out) and living area is where door cut out is.
Close-up of the screened/covered porch areas...this is the BEST part of this entire addition!
Of course I had to take a picture of Sis...
"can't I get some privacy mom?"
From the backdoor of the addition looking in at the kitchenette area.

32 week appointment
I had my 32 week doctor's appointment yesterday and everything looks great so far. When you start going every 2 weeks all the doctor does is measure your stomach and listen to the baby's heartbeat - maybe a total of 5 minutes.
According to Dr. Boudreaux, my stomach measurements equal the number of weeks pregnant I am and Allie's heartbeat sounds great. With this being said, my due date is still set for June 10th.
I noticed Saturday morning that Allie had slightly "dropped" - I've carried her fairly high throughout the course of the pregnancy and things just felt different Saturday. Sunday, I didn't notice as much but Monday, I could tell by looking in the mirror. Her movements also feel completely different and Dr. Boudreaux confirmed she's more than likely "head down" at this point with her butt facing my stomach. This whole process is completely unbelievable!
I have my last sonogram (yeah!!!) at 36 weeks - roughly May 12 - which will determine Allie's currrent measurements.
Last night Ben mentioned that Allie could decide to join us at any moment - scary! To make it even more sureal, a friend of ours who was due May 6th went into labor early this morning and is set to deliver at any time today. It's getting REAL!
