Contest

Aunt Gabrielle has a photography class which she put to good use this past week (Sept 18). Becca wanted to enter the Baby Bump contest on a radio station web site. You enter a picture and then get people to vote for you. The most votes wins a$2,000 baby room and maternity clothes. Beccas phone crashed when she tried to mass e-mail so many people to vote for her. I bought the cutest little bouncy seat surrounded by light up and squeaky toys . Finn was very interested in it. I hope my baby Manny will be to. I decided that would be grandmas nickname for him. He will be my little manny a good shortening of Roman.

Becca was headed to Bear Lake with her girlfriends for the weekend. They have gone a couple of times to a great cabin. Its very restful except for the sleeping part which she doesnt do well anywhere. She takes her giant body pillow wherever she goes. Her dad bought that and some vitam E cream as a gift one day. You can see boxes in the picture. They are lights for the bathroom downstairs. We are moving along on getting the basement finished for our Roman. Becca decided his middle name could be her middle name Erin only spelled Arron. I bought Roman some clothes and books at a yard sale this week.

I took Becca to have her favorite turkey sandwich at Arbys. She balanced her drink on her stomach and said "look mom I have a shelf now." She has been more nauseated a few days this last week. You always know because she pats her chest like shes trying to keep it all down. She says eggs especially do not sit well.

Shawn and I went to Becca's ultrasound appointment. All is well with the baby. He has a larger femur and bigger lips. We chuckled at that. It was amazing what they could look at and see. The technician took lots of photos and measurements. Afterwards we went to Thai Mango for lunch.

On June 8 we saw Dr. Heather for the first time. She took out the old sonogram machine and we got a little view of you. Your foot was in the air. We both laughed out loud and cried a little when we heard your fast heart beat. Becca couldnt quit looking at the pictures of the sonogram we took on our cell phones.
