...No Excuse...

I'm such a slacker, the handful of readers that I have. 

I don't have much to say... except we have 9 weeks left tomorrow! 

Holy Stripes, Batman! I can't believe it. 

I did have a doctor appointment on Thursday...yesterday...and we are looking fabulous! (Yes you just read that with a sing song voice. Shhh. I won't tell).

She's measuring right on schedule, about 3 pounds and a strong heart beat too! 

It also looks like I've been experiencing some contractions, Braxton Hicks, but didn't know it. Whenever Brielle would push her little foot or hand up against the top of my belly, I would just rub it out. I thought maybe she just wanted a baby massage. ;) Thankfully they haven't hurt, just a little tight and uncomfortable. But hey, that's pregnancy for you!

On another note, we spent Christmas in Oregon. It was nice, except, I wasn't a fan of the rain on Christmas. I mean, what the spinach! It's supposed to SNOW on Christmas. Oh well, I guess that's what happens when you visit or live in the NorthWest. 

Both of us are just happy to not have to go to school. I won't lie, it's going to be tough going back on the 7th, but we can do this. We as in Brielle and me. ;) Once I hit the school mark, I'll have 10 weeks of school left, but only 8 weeks of being preggers. You figure that one out and let me know how I'm going to accomplish that one. Greatly appreciated. 

We have a lot going on in January, so I'll be sure to keep you posted on what's going on. I promise. Pinky promise.

Predictions :)

My Purple Team Mommas decided it would be fun to start predicting when our babies are going to be born, since most of us are in the third trimester (hallelujah) or just about there. 

It's been a lot of fun to see the guesses that each of them has made about their sweet precious babies. 

Well, to add the fun, I wanted to see what Miguel's prediction would about Brielle, and this is what he had to say:

"She'll be born on March 3rd at 2am. She'll have very little hair, and it will be dark. Blue eyes. Coming in at 7lb 8oz and stretching out to be 20 inches."

My guess is as such:

"Born March 5th in the evening time between 9-11:45pm, weighing in at 7lb 5oz, lots of dark hair, blue eyes and being around 18'' long."

Just a little extra info:

• My Due Date is March 2nd
• Miguel was late, while I was about on time
• We were both born around or on 11:45pm :)
• Miguel was about a little over 7lbs while I was in the 6lb range
• I'm not sure how long each of us were though. :(
• I had a lot of toe blonde hair, and Miguel had barely any hair at all.

So, now it's your turn! If you want, go ahead and make a guess about Brielle's birthdate.

I'll keep track of everyone's guesses, if you decide to guess, and we'll see who comes closes to the actual results!

Stumbled Across Today

One of the ladies in my Purple Team Facebook Group posted that she had Googled her little girl's name, Everleigh, and I was curious as to what I would come across with "Brielle."

My favorites include:

• Meaning: "God is My Might"
• Clothing Item: Maggie Sottero Wedding Dress (wedding items must run in the family... Check it out! "Ambria")
• Quite Possibly My Favorite: 

Who knew she'd have a song already? 

:)

Kind of catchy. I guess I have the singer of Owl City to thank for this. 

Thank Google for these wonderful finds. 

What do you come up with when you Google your name? I know you've all done it at least once... :)

If not, I say do it! 

You'll never know what you come up with... 

(Wookiepedia was found by Googling "Ambria." Just saying.)

Little Miss "B"

Yep, Little Miss Brielle Avery Ryann Beal. 

You may call her Brielle, Avery, Brielle Avery, Elle, Ellie, PeaPod, "B," etc.

"A mother's treasure is her daughter" - Anon

 "A baby girl...one of the most beautiful miracles in life, one of the greatest joys we can ever know, and one of the reasons why there is a little extra sunshine, laughter and happiness in your world today." Author Unknown 

"Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition; but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express." - Joseph Addison

You are loved more than you will ever know, Little Miss B.

As promised, Happy Belated Bump Day!

Sometimes I like to dress my baby girl bump up, and sometimes she looks best in a classic black.

She's a great baby, and March can't come soon enough.
