19 week bump pic!  It is really popping out this week!

These past two weeks have been very eventful!! I feel like I have been going non-stop which is good because come August when school starts, I won't be able to!

Chandler landed in Kansas City on Wednesday, July 9th. Jackson and I went and picked her up at the airport and did some shopping (of course).  On Saturday July 12th we went to Sedalia for Uncle Terry's surprise birthday party, but Lary had to miss the party because he had to come back from Sedalia to work on a leak.  The party was a success and Uncle Terry was definitely surprised!  Anna Katherine landed in Kansas City on Wednesday, July 16th.  We also had a check up and our growth and development ultrasound at WMMC Wednesday afternoon!!  Baby is growing and healthy and weighs 14 ounces already!!  The ultrasound tech spent an hour with us trying to find out what this little stinker is going to be!!  BUT ornery baby Lehman kept its legs crossed and curled up the ENTIRE time and she wasn't able to tell us the baby's gender.  I cried.  I was so happy to see that our baby is healthy and growing but we had a small get-together planned in Clinton for dinner to reveal the gender to our parents!!  So we made our calls on the way home to let everyone know that baby Lehman was healthy, but still keeping its gender a mystery!!  We ended up having dinner with Mom, Steven, Jackson, Anna Katherine, Chandler, Katy, and Dillon.  


Excited faces before the ultrasound!!

Baby Lehman

Legs crossed...

After our WMMC ultrasound, I was just not satisfied with not knowing what this little booger is so we made an appointment with Prenatal Imaging in Overland Park for a gender ultrasound for Monday July, 21st.  Not even 1 minute into our ultrasound, she was able to tell us that we are having a sweet baby GIRL!! We can't wait to meet our sweet little baby girl Avery Mae Lehman!!!


She was looking at us! Her little hands are always up by her face:)

Here is what Avery's little face looks like in 3D ultrasound,
it's too early for her face to be all chunky and the machine picks up 
too much that isn't just baby.  

Here is Avery's little bottom and her leg in 3D!

Baby is the size of… a sweet potato

Best moment this week: Doing absolutely nothing besides laying by the pool and going to the lake! Trying to not think about school stuff yet.
Miss Anything? not that I can really think of..
Movement: Baby has been moving quite a bit, just little flutters at night before I go to sleep and when I am just relaxing on the couch is when I notice it the most :) 
Food cravings: None this week, but I never pass up cookies and sweets!! Looking forward to Katie Potter's cake batter cookies at the lake this weekend!!

Looking forward to: July 16th! Finding out what Baby Lehman is!

We spent the weekend at Grandma Mary and Grandpa Rick's cabin at the lake.  Katy Parkhurst went with us!!  We slept in a tent and luckily Katy brought an air mattress because when we got ours out and unfolded we found a ton of mold on it! Needless to say, we tried cleaning it and it was wet all night.  We had perfect weather for sleeping in a tent thankfully!!  We spent a lot of time on the pontoon  with Lary as our captain.  There was more family down at the cabin this 4th of July than we have ever had since I have been going.  Mary and Rick were there along with Brice, Katie and Liem and Justin Kohler.  Mandy, John and Brantly came down from Kentucky.  Mandy's friend Sarah and her husband David were there with their two little boys.  Deana, Wesley, Dakota, and Lance stayed the weekend.  Rick's son Richard was there with his girl friend and their four children.  Then Dawn, Kevin, and Hannah came down for the afternoon on Saturday!  We had a full house! Lary brought fish down and we had a fish fry on Saturday afternoon, everyone loves when Lary brings/catches fish and fries it up!! We had a great time and beautiful weather!
