My Mom Saves the Day

So, Saturday I washed the dress I bought to wear to my showers. I read the tag to be sure how it should be washed and cared for. It said, "Machine wash cold and tumble dry low." I really don't like putting dresses in the dryer, but put this one in for 15 minutes to get the wrinkles out. I went in the laundry room after 15 minutes and pulled it out. The seams at the shoulders were ripped and frayed!!!!! I had only worn this dress 2 times and couldn't believe it did that. I bought the dress at the Motherhood store. Needless to say, I was crying and upset. My sweet husband calls the location at the Haywood Mall and they didn't have my size.

So onto Sunday.....mom had gone to visit Megan and Drew in Beaufort and was coming back in time for my shower at church. She stopped by the Columbiana Mall and went into Motherhood, who happened to be having a BOGO sale on their dresses. :) She had mentioned to the cashier about what happened to my dress and the cashier said I needed to bring it back. Mom picked out 2 beautiful dresses for me, she was my lifesaver! Needless to say, I will be going to Motherhood tomorrow after our doctor's appointment to return the dress. The nice thing is that they keep a log of what you buy, so that dress is in their system under my name.

36 weeks....more or less?!?!?!

I haven't updated the blog in a while. We've been really busy preparing for Karson's arrival. Last Tuesday, we had our 36 week appointment. Everything was great. Karson is measuring a little larger than expected, try 38 weeks instead of 36. The doctor wants to do an ultrasound to check her size, so we will be going tomorrow for our weekly appointment and ultrasound.

Showers:
We have had 3 wonderful showers! It is nice to know our little girl is loved my so many already. We are very blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives.

Sickness:
I will have to say that I have been one of the "lucky ones" during this pregnancy. I haven't experienced morning sickness or been sick at all until NOW! Saturday morning I woke up with a scratchy throat and my chest felt tight, which wasn't a good sign. Sunday morning I woke up and felt awful. I just prayed I could make it through the day and my shower at church. After the church shower I came home and went straight to bed, with a terrible cough and chills. YUCK!!!! Matt went out and bought me some medicine. I slept off and on Sunday night. I am still congested, but definitely don't feel the aches and pains I felt yesterday.
