Great weekend!

What a great weekend! 9 Weeks pregnant has been good to me. I have not been nearly as nauseated as I was the past three weeks. Nick and I went for my first ultrasound on Friday June 11th. The ultrasound teach said I am a "good incubator". :) I was very nervous at first. She put the little wand over my stomach and went silent. For some reason I thought that I would be able to hear the heartbeat but we heard nothing. I asked her if everything looked ok and when she told me everything looked great it was like a huge weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. The baby was measuring exactly how I predicted it should be. She told me I was 9 weeks and my due date is Jan. 15th. We got to see the little heart flickering really fast which was so cool. Nick just sat there completely speechless. It was a pretty cool moment. It makes all the crappy things that come along with pregnancy so sweet. The heartbeat was 165 which she told me was high and strong. After we left I was dieing for Outback so we went there and looked at the ultrasound pics over and over again.

Friday night my sister got in from Ruston with her husband and son. Eli is completely precious. He is also very smart. He can name almost all of his body parts. I love when he shows where his teeth are because he starts clicking his teeth together. It is so funny.

Saturday was my sister's baby shower. It didn't start out so well. I went to pick up the cake. The original name my sister had picked out was Alissa Grace. So one the cake they put AGD. Well my sister looked at it and told me that she named the middle name to Ann. So I had the initials wrong. After about 5 attempts at fixing it We finally made it look good. Then the chocolate fountain had a small malfunction. Luckily, my mother came to the rescue and fixed it. Anyways, everything ended up coming together just in time. Everything was beautiful and everyone had a good time. I think Jamie had a good time and got some nice baby gifts also.

Today we all went to the little splash park in Plaquemine with the kiddos. Kudos to the city of Plaquemine for such an excellent job on this. There were plenty of children there and they all seemed to be having a great time. What a great way to improve the park! We all went to mom and dad's house afterward and mom bar-b-qued. It was so much fun.

Overall, a great weekend. I love getting to spend so much time with my family. Hope everyone had a great weekend as well!
