Updates and Picture Overload

We have had a busy last week!  We've spent time enjoying our new nephew...and letting him be our "guinea pig" for all things baby, we've been to Charleston and back for a military dinner, we went to a pinning ceremony and graduation for my nursing degree and had another Evie appointment!  A very busy, wonderful last week all in all!
Life continues to be more and more exciting as Evie grows and moves - specifically she seems to be learning new boxing moves every day!  We are finished with one adventure (nursing school) and fast approaching the arrival of our next adventure as we try to finish clearing out whatever isn't needed and make room for all of the things that come with a new baby.  Her room has now been cleared out, Jonathan and one of his buddies will be installing flooring this week, and hopefully we'll be painting/decorating next week.  I would love to blame the delay on Jonathan but it is without a doubt my own delay, I'm not great at making decisions and I have gone back and forth on what I want in her room...finally settling on a neutral light brown color, "applesauce cake"...I think...or maybe "warm caramel"...or something like that...
We had another wonderful checkup where they let us know we'll have one more ultrasound to check all of our (hers and mine) measurements and after that we'll be past the "pre-term risk" point and won't need anymore!  Officially 36 weeks is considered full-term so we will still be a few weeks ahead of that, but since things start to change after 31-32 weeks anyway, they won't be measuring me anymore.  We'll probably have 2 more ultrasounds to check her measurements and position (preferably head down), but that's it!  Thank you again for all of your prayers.  We have been so blessed by them and have felt them each and every week our girl grows.  As of the ultrasound yesterday she is measuring at 3lb 3oz (perfectly within the normal range), she's head down, and she has hair!  From the beginning I've said for her sake I hope she gets her Daddy's genes for hair since I had hardly any, Jonathan had a good head of hair but his sister had full, thick, beautiful hair right from the start!  They said in the picture you can see she definitely has hair and it's long enough to already be over her ears!  She was stubborn yesterday and didn't want to face the camera but that meant we got to see her hair, maybe she had heard me talking about me being a rather bald baby and she was trying to show off her lovely locks...

Formal one from the dinner

Our beautiful girl and her hair!  Not a clear shot because she was moving, but her ear is in the picture and at the very top is her hair floating in the amniotic fluid

 Growing girl....her spine is at the bottom of the shot, her head to the right (back of her head) and her left arm is at the top of the picture.

Please continue to pray for easy, carefree appointments and growth for at least another 6 1/2 weeks!  Please also pray for us as we prepare for her arrival - not just with the physical things but emotionally/spiritually/mentally the best we can! Thanks again for your continued support of us!
