From a wee little spec...

Charli and I are growing everyday... Sometimes I think I am growing more than she is! I am so excited about the 3-D or 4-D (whatever it is) coming up on June 7th! Those pictures kind of weird me out, but I am sure it will thrill me to see her when the 3-D day comes. Charli has had some rough experiences so we have had more than the usual ultrasounds. It has been really neat to watch her grow so much! Here are some pictures of us growing- together!

12-29-2010. Charli was just a little spec and I was sure I had swallowed the number three!

01-06-2010. Charli has now transformed from the number three to a bunny rabbit... Mommy isn't showing at all because she has lost around six pounds at this point!

Charli is actually starting to look humanesque!

This is two days before I find out that I am having a little girl! Definitely have a bump now!

03-31-2010. Mom and Grannie came down to see an ultrasound for the first time! Daddy and big sister Lindy Beth were also there! Lindy Beth is so excited about being a big sister and she will be the best!

03-31-2010. It's a girl!!!

03-31-2010. Charli doesn't have much of a neck yet, so she just rests her chin on her chest. But she has fingers, toes, and a nose!

03-31-2010. I love Charli's little feet photos.

04-26-2010. Mommy is definitely growing now!

04-27-2010. Charli has a neck now! I love her little fish lips!!!

05-03-2010. I am swole and in need of a tan...

I wish my stepdaughter could be here for all of this. She loved watching my belly grow. And she loved talking to Charli and asking her to be a girl! Anyway, it is amazing to see how quickly my belly and Charli transform each and every day! In less than four months I will be holding my precious gift from God and I can hardly wait! Even with the mistakes I made, God blessed me and pulled me close to Him once again. I know things are going to be hard- but well worth it!

Getting ready for baby!

I am now over twenty- four weeks pregnant and you can definitely tell! My best friend Cherish has been wonderful enough to keep taking baby bump pictures and keep the world posted- because we all know I stink at this! I am starting my blog over and dedicating to my new life with just me and Charli Isabella. She is due August 23rd and I can not wait to meet her! It will be just us girls and that is a decision I wish I never had to be part of. God has been so good to lead my every step and has never once left me. I have turned my back on him and let my own selfish wants get in the way, but God had a plan all along. I am happy to say that God is so good and merciful. I know that he will help us through the tough times ahead.

Charli Isabella- I love to say her name over and over. My Nanna, Momma Kelley, and Lanie (sister) came down this past weekend and we all went to find Charli a bed! We put the bed together and decorated a lot of the room! It was so much fun and I loved the family time. Charli is one lucky little baby girl! My Nanna wanted to get the bed and she also brought a dresser. The room looks amazing, even though I still have a lot to do. Here are some pictures:

Nanna playing with the bouncy chair! Lanie put a replica of baby Charli in the seat... She said it had our big Foust head!

I have to get the pictures of them moving furniture, us putting the bed together, and Lanie and Nanna playing with all of the new toys!

I want to go through the entire pregnancy and write down all that has happened so Charli will have this to look back on, but I am horrible at keeping a blog. Maybe I will get better at this! Until then, at least Cherish (BFF) has a new blog to look at!
