A whole new 'do

I decided it was time for another change to my body as if a belly wasn't enough....I went to Brodi's and got my hair hacked off! There was about 7 inches on the floor when she got done but I love it! Next step, highlights! I absolutely love my haircut! All I had to do was show this girl a photo of what I was thinking about and just leave her to it. She knew exactly where to place the layers to give me the most volume and movement. Plus there's an extra belly picture in there. Ashlyn is positioned right against my belly and she pushes off my spine I swear. It's the most uncomfortable position she can be in. Enoch is wondering why my belly will look like it will grow by 3 weeks in the space of an hour and it's just Ashlyn being active. Time to go have some fun with this new 'do! I haven't had it this short since my junior year in high school, 6 years ago!

24 weeks

She's getting a little bit bigger and so are my hips and thighs. Oh the joys of pregnancy....weight gain you just can't stop. All that water weight makes you look so pudgy and there's not a darn thing us ladies can do about it. But it's all ok if it means healthy baby girl! We're so excited for Ashlyn to get here! My wonderful sis in law sent some adorable clothes! She's spoiling Ashlyn already! Thanks Raquel!!! I can't wait to dress her up! These are only about 1/10 of the clothes she's sent me. The cowgirl onesies are my faves onesies! And the little Princess boxed set with the headband, diaper ruffle butt cover onesie and cute ruffle socks and shoes. I can't wait to dress her up in that.

Got May, June, July and part of August left to go! It's gone so fast I can't believe it. She's finally got a schedule down in my tummy. She's my little alarm clock at 5 am. She chills out at 7 but kicks right back into full tumble mode from 8 to 11 then seems to take a little nap from noon to 4. She must know when dinner time is cause at 5 she's going "mommy feed us!" She stays fairly active until about 9 and then seems to just conk out and it all begins again at 5 am the next day. Hopefully this scheduly stays when she's born because Enoch and I could totally handle that.

Well this Thusday is the fun glucose test and another ultrasound. Hopefully we can do the 3D one this time around. She seems to be spending most of her time standing on my bladder. And my belly button is about to pop out it seems like. If I stretch, it starts to do the whole inside out thing. Enoch keeps saying, ding! she's almost done! He's going to make such a wonderful father! He's so good with kids and loves playing with them. I'm not worried about a thing :)

21 weeks

Well, another update on little Miss Ashlyn ( we decided on 1 N). She's getting big fast, as is Mommy's appetite...I'm hungry all the time. Not just feeling hungry...tummy growling, tummy in knots hungry. I've been trying to keep from eating too much. Dr. Lovell said eating proteins helps keep the appetite down. I really really don't want to have gestational diabetes. I've heard that it happens when the mom gains too much weight. I get to do the glucose test in 4 weeks at our next appt....yaaay........... So how bad does it really taste? I've heard mixed reviews on it. We went for the lemon-lime wannabe. The orange just looked too scary.

IT'S A GIRL!!!!

We are so excited to announce we're having a little girl!!!!!!! Enoch's little princess is growing big and strong. The measurments show she's a week behind. I have another ultrasound in 4 weeks just to check on the growth and confirm it's a girl. She was breeched today with her head by my bellybutton and her little legs were always going a mile a minute. She's gonna be a swimming or dancer haha. Hopefully she moves during that time so they can do the 3d ultrasound next visit!

It's official! Little Ashlynn Michelle Bowler is growing in my tummy!!! Can you find her face in the ultrasound? She's got her head tilted to the left and her body is on the right side. We got some amazing video's too. It's almost like an out of body experience to watch the little girl move around inside.

Is it a Boy or Girl???

We find out if it's a boy or girl in 2 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
