Briana Faith Hodgett

Briana was born 2 weeks early on Monday, March 9th at 5:34pm.  She weighed 7 lbs 1 oz and was 18.5 inches long.  She is absolutely perfect and we are so grateful to have her in our lives!

Nursery

Rickey painting - we decided to paint it a pale yellow, unfortunately it pretty much looks white. But, I was ready for it to be done and I didn't want to make Rickey spend another weekend painting, so we just left it!

Here are some pictures of our nursery. We've had it mostly ready for quite awhile, but I finally finished washing, sorting, and organizing everything today so I can officially say it's done! I can't believe we only have a little over 6 weeks to go!

Baby Shower

My wonderful hostess!

The doll my Auntie Donna made me. She made one very much like it for me when I was little.

Paula trying to guess my belly size. Unfortunately for everyone, Christina got it exactly right!

The best "belly shot" I have - I'm about 30 1/2 weeks here. By the way - you see Delight, Beth, and Joni? They claim they didn't coordinate their outfits, but I'm not so sure... :)

My hostess (Katie) and her helper (my mom)

Well, I had my baby shower the weekend of January 17th and it was a blast!! Katie did a great job with everything, and it was exactly the type of shower I wanted. Thank you to everyone that traveled to be there and to those of you who were lucky enough to not have to travel very far! It was great seeing everyone and I'm so grateful for all of the wonderful people in our life!

25 Weeks & Hunter Pics

25 Weeks (almost a week ago). I seem to have gotten HUGE over the last couple of weeks. I've started having strangers commenting and asking me when I'm due so at least I know I finally look pregnant! Everything has gone so fast since the ultrasound - I can't believe I'll be in the 3rd trimester in just over 2 weeks! (By the way - our tree is tiny, so no I'm not the size of an evergreen tree!)

Hunter helping in the yard this fall. We needed to even out the dirt so we wet it down to make it easier - he decided to help by rolling around in it!

20 Week Ultrasound Pics

Here is the "before" picture!

Definitely all girl!!

Her beautiful profile

I'm assuming her left arm based on bend and where her head is.

The ultrasound tech got a good picture of her foot but didn't give us a copy. She had a hard time getting a picture of both of them because they were so low (which I could have told her before hand since she's been kicking my bladder for several days!). Enjoy!!

IT'S A GIRL!!!

We had our 20 week ultrasound and everything went great! My doctor said she looks perfect and is growing right on schedule. I know I promised everyone pictures YESTERDAY; however I was having issues uploading them. I will try my best to get them on tonight or this weekend!

17 Weeks

Well, here I am at 17 weeks. Katie thinks I'm hot and I'm going to help her pick up dudes! We find out the sex on November 5th!
