Weekend with the Philips

It has been a fun weekend, but it's not over yet! I'm so excited to hear Tony Noland speak in the morning at church. I've heard great things about him. I also got some incredible news...It's been really stressful on me since the beginning of the pregnancy knowing I was going to have to drive so far to deliver Trip, but by the grace of God, we worked it out to where I can deliver on the island with the midwife I wanted from the beginning! It's so cool to see how worrisome I can be and then God is like, "Hold on, I got this!" I'm so excited that my doctor's appointments and delivery is so close to friends and church family, and it's close to my house if I need someone to run home for anything for me!

Last week, David and I went to a 4D ultrasound clinic. It's called "Sneak Peak Studios", and I give it two thumbs up! It's in Jacksonville, and the girl that did the ultrasound was incredible! She was a Godsend, and her prices are super reasonable! She said that she felt like everyone should have the opportunity to see their baby in detail, not just people who could afford to pay a fortune for it. It was so cool. Below I will post a few pics of my little guy. It's so neat to see he already has his own little personality. He keeps his hand by his face, which makes me wonder if he will be a thumb-sucker or will sleep with his hand by his face. We went to the ultrasound last Saturday, and he kept his hands on his face so we couldn't see him. We went back on Monday and got excellent pictures! Everyone keeps saying how he looks like me or David... but I can't tell yet. I do know he has his daddy's hairline! He is also super happy, at least it looks like it. He smiles and opens his mouth really wide a lot!

It's so exciting with everything. I bought everything to paint Trip's room. I taped off everything this morning and wiped down some areas of the walls. It took 3 1/2 hours! Before pregnancy that was no big deal, but now being on my feet or crawling around on the floor for so long makes me super tired! At least that part of the room is done. Now all I have to do is paint, and I think that the painting will be the easy part. I feel like the prep work is what takes so much time and effort!

This past week was awesome. I was just so busy. I babysat a little 3 year old named Sadie on Wednesday. She was such a little bundle of energy! Wednesday night we had WNL (Wednesday Night Live) for the second week in a row. Our youth group, Xchange, reenacted SNL and MadTV skits. It was some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen! This week I wasn't involved, so I got to sit with the kids and enjoy it. The previous week, I was part of a few of the skits, and let's just say that comedy is not my thing...I couldn't keep a straight face in some parts! Tyler's, our roommate, parents flew in from Cali on Thursday. They are staying in our guest room, and they are so awesome! I'm so glad that they are getting to stay with us and we are getting to know them. We had them, Trey, and Kellyn over tonight and played poker while watching the LSU game (Geaux Tigers!) It was a lot of fun. Church in the morning, and I figure after church we will hit the beach! Well, that's a little recap of my week! Here are pics of my guy!
