First off all, I went for an ultrasound on July 12th. Katie did the scan and I just love her. Shes so detailed and explains EVERYTHING!! Gotta love that. Our little stocking stuffer is about 9inches long and weighs about 6 ounces. WOW!! It's growing like crazy!!!! We got a 4-D ultrsound of the baby's back... look at how detailed it is!! For being so little, they sure do give you lots of detail!! You can see the back, arm, leg and the little butt! So stinking cute!!!
I go back to see Dr. DiGi on Tuesday, July 27th. That morning, we are stopping in Hammond for church. At my Auntie's church, they are doing a service for my Grandma for her birthday, so we'll go to mass before we go to the doctor!
Over the weekend my sister met up with her friend from Florida while she was visiting in town. She gave her a photo that her mother in law painted for us... just look at this:
Its gorgeous. She saw the photo we used in the South Bend Tribune back in March and just free handed it!! She put hands behind Callie to hold her... its just awesome. We have placed it on our shelf above the tv in the living room. I just love it. Thanks so much Tiffany!!!
On Friday, I received a phone call from the March of Dimes in Indianapolis. I have been selected as one of the top 10 finalist in the Indiana Mom of the Year awards. WHAT? I was shocked!! I was nominated by an annonymous source and am one of the finalists. OH MY GOODNESS!! What an honor!!! The dinner/event is held on Saturday, August 21 in downtown Indy. Social hour, dinner, ceremony & dancing. Its a formal affair. Im just in shock by this. Who would nominate ME?? And what have I done that is so special?? I just do what I think I should be doing for Miss Callie! What a true true honor!!!!
This weekend we are off to Indianapolis to do some work with the Sounds of Pertussis Campaign. We are leaving Thursday and back on Sunday. We're taking Cole with us as well!! We get to meet Jeff Gordon and be special guests at the Brickyard 400 on Sunday. WOW!! So many amazing opportunities we're given!!!!
I will be sure to take lots of pictures this weekend and do an update when we get back!!!!
Til next week..... enjoy!
What wonderful news for you! The baby is growing beautifully I see. Thanks for sharing. The drawing of Callie is AMAZING and oh so very beautiful. Congratulations on being one of March of Dimes top 10 finalists for Mom of the Year. (No, it wasn't me that nominated you.) Have fun at the Brickyard. My daughter Mallory LOVES Jeff because they share the same birthday, August 4th. I am looking so foward to your next post.
