19 Weeks and Counting...(You see what I did there? lol)

This week on 19 weeks and counting.....

So it's been a little while since I last blogged! A lot has happened I feel like, but I don't know where to start, what to share, and what to spare!

How about starting with last weekend, Londyn's first big shopping spree! My sister, Stefani and I went to Rhea Lana's re-sale consignment event! We got into the pre-sale for "Mommies to be"! I was so excited! All in all, I spent just under $150 and got all of the following items you see in the photos! Stef also got some Christmas gifts for the kids, and some SUPER cute Joe's jeans for Annabelle! We couldn't believe no one had snagged those puppies up, with tags and all. Of course, I expect them to be passed down to Londyn in the future ;)

Dad was pleasantly surprised with everything I was able to get for that amount! The clothing downpour doesn't stop there though! Just last night I got pictures from Aunt Stefani showing us everything Annabelle would be letting Londyn borrow once she is here! There are PILES of stuff! Clothes, shoes, headbands and bows, toys, blankets, the works! Londyn is going to LOVE her cousin Annabelle and Aunt Stef for spoiling her!

Aside from the shopping, little Londyn Brooke has been an active, and growing baby! She has been stretching mom all out, which can be painful at times! Ligament pains, back pain, hip pain, and headaches galore! I'll tell you what though, I wouldn't trade it for the world! Nothing a warm shower can't help. Plus,  Dad has been gracious enough to rub Mom's back a few nights as she tries to go to sleep!

I also discovered that Londyn is going to be a lot like her momma. She doesn't like seat belts like her mom. See, Mike always has to remind me to wear mine or I won't put it on half the time. I've been better since being pregnant because its not about me, its about this sweet little girl. Well, every time I click my seatbelt, she starts kicking and rustling around like crazy! Cracks me up! Another thing that leads me to believe she'll be a mini-me, is her sense of humor! She likes to pick on dad already! He laid his head down on my belly the other night to try and listen in on her. As soon as he sets his head down, she kicks him, right in the ear! It was too funny! Then tonight, we ran to Krispy Kreme to get a FREE hot donut! (Who can turn those down?) Its like as soon as that hit my belly, she was up and at-em again! If I remember right, Krispy Kreme is also what got cousin Greyson up and moving when he was still in Stef's belly! If she loves donuts as much as her mom and Greyson, I better start stocking up now!

It is so hard to believe that 19 weeks have come and gone! Next week, October 2, is baby girl's big 20-week anatomy scan! She gets 2 special appointments in one day! One with her normal doctor, and one with the anatomy scan doctor! She likes the camera, so I'm sure that will make her happy! Mike and I sure are excited to see her again! 

Londyn, we love you sweet girl, and can't wait to hold you in our arms! We're almost half way there! 

How about another closing 2-cents from dad?

"Londyn, you must already have me wrapped around your finger, because anytime you get a craving, mom lets me know, and what baby wants, baby gets! Also, thanks for kicking me in the ear the other day!"

Londyn's First Flight and Appetite

So this past weekend, Londyn went on her first flight with Mommy! She did great, not making mom sick, or hurt at all! She did remind mom that her energy isn't what it used to be, because by the end of the weekend, mom was ready to hibernate. Too bad theres this thing called work.

She had so much fun running around Nashville with mom, Aunt P, and cousin Aven! Got some sweet outfits to doll her up in. I couldn't resist the tiny little hot pink pants, leopard jeans, or cardigans! Plus, she just HAD to have the shirt that said "Daddy is my King", because Mike refers to her as his princess! It's just the start of the shopping fun! It's probably best if Dad doesn't see every single receipt after a day of shopping ;)

Another really cool thing has happened since my last post! I felt Londyn kick for the first time! I was at work on my lunch break, and had just got done eating. Well, she rustled around a bit, and I thought I felt her, but wasn't sure. Just as I was thinking "Could that have been....", she gave a big strong kick, 3 times, and I knew for sure it was her! I couldn't stop smiling for the rest of the day! It really made it sink in, she is a real baby, growing and developing....and she's our baby!

For a tiny baby who's not even here yet, the girl already communicates her love for food! She is definitely her Momma and Daddy's child. We love eating, and we're good at it! Every single time I eat, this little one starts rustling around, kicking and punching with happiness! I've been feeling it for a little over a week now, but last night was a treat, when daddy got to feel her for the first time! She gave a couple of strong kicks or high fives to dad! It was the coolest thing, and Mike's face was priceless! She really likes carb-loaded foods, and sugar. So if I ever want her to move around, I know what to do! That's probably not a good thing for my eating habits, but hey, she is worth it, and what baby wants, baby gets ;)

I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow, and it just doesn't seem real! I can't believe how quickly time is passing! I am trying to savor every moment of this time in her little life, but at the same time, I'm growing more and more anxious with each passing day to kiss her little face! God has already proven over and over that this child is favored. I just received the call today that the test for down syndrome, and the screening for another abnormality (in which the name has escaped me), all came back perfectly normal! It was such a big relief for us. I know regardless we'd love her and God would give us strength and wisdom to raise her, no matter the special circumstances. It would just be a whole new journey!

Well, to close, I guess I could answer a question I've had from a few people....What is the craziest craving I've had...? Well, to be honest, I haven't had any crazy cravings. I really have had aversions to most things, sweets, mexican foods, most fried foods, chicken....etc. The only thing I can say I've consistently "craved" is carbs, such as pasta and bread, and then anything pickled. Which really if you know me, none of those are out of the norm. So I've been fortunate enough to enjoy the pregnancy so far and only gain 3 pounds without paying a lick of attention to what I eat. (Other than what is safe and necessary for Londyn) We'll see how much longer that lasts. And that's all folks! Thanks for following us! We're having a blast! Love you all!

It's a BABY!!! ;)

So today has been a long time coming, an anxiously awaited day! Finding out whether baby Haney is a little boy, or a little girl? Hmm.....??

Well, we got prepared yesterday, or tried to anyways. We set out to take our gender reveal pictures, one for a boy, and one for a girl. We had this really cute idea of getting a blue ice cream cone, and a pink one, and long story short, we'd end up both eating the color of what represented which sex we were having. Well, seeing as how Oklahoma heat is hot as all get-out....that lasted about 2 minutes, before our cones were completely melted away! So we got ONE picture of the two of us, but no actual gender REVEAL photo. Needless to say I was bummed. So we had to improvise. On to the mall we went.

We stopped in at Finish Line, and had the nicest guy bring us out like a million different shoes in OUR size, and baby size. So, rather than be mean and keep you all in waiting....I'll just share the photo!

Friends and Family, in February, we welcome Londyn Brooke Haney into the world! We are absolutely ecstatic!! Yes, Mom was completely prepared for a boy, but I am THRILLED about getting a ton of lacy pink things and making this little one a doll! Dad is going to be wrapped around her little finger too!  AHHH! I am so excited!! We love you little Londyn!!!
