27 Weeks and Big Milestones...

This was a HUGE week for us and Addi Kate.

First, Addison got to vote...

Well, she didn't really vote, but her Mommy did :) This is a picture of us before we hit the polls on Election Day.

We also hit a major milestone this week...we are now 27 weeks pregnant (starting the third trimester).

I think the highlight of the week though was having our 4D ultrasound this morning. This sign greeted our family as we walked in the door...

We had a lot of our family there to share this precious moment with us and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

I haven't shown a bare belly shot before on the blog, but here is my belly all jellied up before the ultrasound...

Our girl did NOT want to show us her sweet little face today. For the most part she had her hands and feet covering her face like this...

 But I really didn't mind :) I could stare at this picture ALL DAY LONG. I just love her sweet little hands, fingers, feet, and toes.

We did manage to get a few of her face at the very end of the ultrasound. Look at those cheeks!!!!

It is amazing to me how you can really see some of her features. I think she looks a lot like her Daddy...especially her nose and mouth.

It was also a very emotional day...in a good way.  I was so overwhelmed with gratitude, thankfulness, and awe by this ultrasound that I just cried my little eyes. And it's funny because typing or saying how thankful I am for this baby seems like SUCH an understatement...she is the biggest and best gift I've every received in my entire life. I am so sad that the majority of this pregnancy is over because I have enjoyed every single moment of it. Although I know once Addison is born I will be even MORE overwhelmed with gratitude, thankfulness, and awe.

I don't have any idea what I did to deserve this sweet little girl, but I'm so glad God chose me to be her Mommy.
