We are blessed!

Baby Farley is growing and becoming a pain in my ribs!! His new favorite thing to do is to jab his feet in my ribs over and over again. I love every painful second of it lol. We had a pretty exciting day yesterday, both good and bad. We did a 4d ultrasound which was sooo much fun! Check out pics of BABY FARLEY by clicking on this blue hyperlink. The new pictures start with the first orange colored picture (these pics were added to an already existing album). He is sooo cute and it was so fun watching him blink and pout in real time!

I also had braxton hicks all day. I have been getting them every once in a while for the past two weeks but yesterday it was every 3o mins on the clock. We stopped by my doc office and my nurse told me to go lay down for an hour, drink water and to keep track and if I got 4 of them in an hour while laying down to call back. So we did that and sure enough, the contractions started coming every 15 mins like clockwork. We were nervous and were unsure what to do. I talked to the doc and he wanted me to go to the hospital to be on the cautious side so up we went to Northwest Texas Hospital (where we will be delivering). My blood pressure was skyhigh, mostly because I was crazy worried about our lil guy. My nurse checked my cervix and it was not changed so that was extremely reassuring. They put me on the monitor that monitors contractions and babys heartbeat. Everything came back in the clear and the contractions started to diminish. I still had quite a few after I left but I think after being reassured that my baby was ok, my blood pressure went back to normal and I was able to rest peacefully enough to slow the contractions down. I felt so silly going to the hospital but better to be safe then sorry and it made Cory and I both feel better. It was totally worth it when Eli got the hiccups on the monitor. It gave us the giggles lol, and he didn't like having the monitors on so he kicked the entire time! So begins a lifetime of worrying about our children! And we praise God for watching over us! We are blessed!

In other news, we went to the Floydada puh-kin patch last Sunday and also put up our fall decor! Check it out by clicking HERE

I found this at the JCPenny outlet. Sooo soft and perfect for a winter baby!




Here is another cute little baby something I just had to have!



The DOOD has taken on a new name. He is now lovingly referred to as Elijah J. Frog. So we have started collecting frog items- like this hooded towel and washcloth set. Have you seen the old 50s cartoon with Michigan J. Frog (he sings HELLO MY BABY HELLO MY HONEY! HELLO MY RAGTIME GAAAL!!) and he only dances/performs for the one guy and ribbits for everyone else. Well every time I want Cory to see Eli roll across my tummy, he misses it, so Cory will say to Eli "RIIBBIIT" It's so funny! Cory has gotten to see it now a couple times but its still a nickname that is stuck lol

Here is the cartoon if you have no idea what I am talking about (ignore the subtitles)

Long time no see. I know its been awhile so time for an update and hopefully I will actually be able to start blogging more regularly! Life has been crazy lately!

For starters, I am big and pregnant lol. The last time I posted we were only a few months pregnant, but we are about to hit 29 weeks this weekend! Hello third trimester! Our son, Elijah James Farley, is a very busy boy and kicks and squirms all the time. He is a very active baby! Here is Eli and I at 28 weeks :)

And here is a 3-d ultrasound pic of our little boy. Look closely and you will see an arm draped over part of his face, but you can still make out most of his face (He was trying to hide).

So here are some more visual aids on what has kept us so busy over the past few months!! Click on the blue hyperlinks to see the pictures!

Wierd Al - We did a 501st troop with Wierd Al and got to meet him! This event was super fun. He does a special tribute to Star Wars in his song "the saga begins" and he likes to have 501st as his back up dancers for this song. Cory got to go on stage with Al. I was the videographer becuz I could not fit in my costume anymore lol.

In June, we went to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico for the weekend to celebrate our 3 year anniversary :) It was a blast and was something I had been wanting to do since we moved to Texas!
