Telling the news!

Over the past months, I have had many people tell me what they thought I was going to have. Some would look over my body and say....."umm, a girl or ummm, a boy". They would guess depending on symptoms, what my mom had or the Chinese calendar to tell me what I was having. Before we went in to find out what we were having, I asked people what they thought it would be. Gregory thought it was a girl and I thought it was a boy. On this day, Greg's mother was flying in for the week and we would tell her what we were having once she arrived. We went to the visit and found out! The ultrasound was amazing......they measured everything on her and then we got to see her moving around. It was beautiful! She was pulling her feet up by her ears and playing with her toes. Just so cute!! So we got the pictures from the ultrasound and put them in a "Grandma's brag book" for his mother. Gregory called me to get me to come home sooner because his mother couldn't wait any longer! We took this brag book over to Kristin's and handed her a gift bag! There is one thing you should know....if you ever want a great reaction to gifts or any good news......Mrs. Hudgens is the one to go to! She came running out the front door screaming "what is it, what is it?" We handed her the bag and she started opening it, then stopped and screamed more! Once out of the bag she removed the tissue paper and screamed at the pink on the "brag book". Mrs. Hudgens wins the "Best Reaction Award"!!
So this little bundle of joy will be named after both of her grandmother's -
Jacquelyn Theresa Hudgens "Reese"

Weebles wobble but they don't fall down!!!!

So, I'm about 27 weeks now! The Lord has blessed me during this pregnancy and I am grateful for it! I have not been sick nor have I had many difficulties. Well, I mean, I have had some "back pain"......translation "i need a back rub!" but that is about it. A few headaches here and there and indigestion but as for MAJOR issues, none here. I must give praise to the Lord....I think He spared me from those "issues" due to my low tolerance for pain. Yeah, we aren't thinking about the whole "how does this baby arrive?". Well, I have been trying to continue to do some type of athletic exercise but some days I just "forget". (I have been told pregnancy makes you forgetful at times :) ) This particular morning I felt like one of those weeble wobbles. I was trying to swim and something was not working for me! When I would turn to breathe I felt my whole body rolling to one side - almost like it wasn't going to turn back over. I was thinking I would just roll right onto my back. I would take a breath and then back over....then to the other side! I am sure the lifeguard on duty was finding this sight something to chuckle about! But after it was all said and done, I got a great workout!!
