From 2012 to 2013....

From 2012 to 2013.....

I can honestly say that 2012 has practically been a blur! I don't even remember what I did to bring in 2012! To be completely honest, I feel like I've been pregnant for a year now! I know we have stayed super busy with tons of church activites, family visits, Bekah's birth, and of course finding out about our precious little one! (5 weeks or less, yeah!!!) 2012 was a good year for the Lowery's, we have nothing to complain about! Here are a few pictures from the past year. We are SO excited about 2013, as we will welcome Virginia Lynn into the world and to see what the future has in store for us!! 

We had a water pipe leak in our attic, which caused an impromptu house renovation! 

In the spring we made a trip to Georgia to watch Josh's younger brother Seth play lacrosse! Then we went up to the lake house for a little fun. Seth got the golf cart stuck! :) 

Welcoming the birth of our sweet neice, Rebekah Elaine Adair! I didn't know I could love a baby the way I love that sweet thing! 

Judgement House! One of my FAVORITE events to help host at Eastwood! 

And of course finding out about our sweet Virginia Lynn! We can't wait! 

This is just a glimpse of SOME of what we did! Can't wait for 2013! We already have beach trips and a ski trip in the works and with a new baby, I know it will all be an adventure! 

32 Weeks! :)

32 WEEKS!!!!

I'm sorry, I can't contain my excitement. Only 8 more weeks! I do feel like our countdown has been put on a standstill for the past few weeks though. It's like the first 2 trimesters FLEW by and now this 3rd is just creeping by......Maybe when the Christmas holiday gets into full swing, we will start seeing some progress, haha! 

I'm feeling pretty good, for the most part! I can't do as much as I used to. I need my toe nails painted, the little ones (the older ones) that I'm keeping don't get picked up as much. Just little Hunter man usually. Which I LOVE that I get to keep everyday! :) I'm having to be aware of the sickness around me. I did NOT get the flu shot because the 3 times I have gotten it before I got the flu, so my doctor said "probably not a good idea!" I get tired very easily, I've learned NO trip to Walmart will be quick! Especially if all I need is a gallon of milk in the back of the store! I can't bend down and pick things up with any grace at all. 

Virginia Lynn's room is ALMOST done! We still have a few last minute things to do. Mom is making her bedding, her bedskirt is done, all that's left is to sew up one part of the quilt and to finish her bumper pads. (I'll post pictures of the finished product!) Michelle is going to paint a few things for her room, but I had not decided what I wanted until this past week, so she will be able to start on it soon now. I've just about got it all organized like I want it! :) 

This sweet baby girl is kicking and twisting and punching and rolling. She is VERY active and I wouldn't have it any other way! I love to SEE her move as much as I love to feel her move! There is only one part of the day she is still and resting, and that's usually in the late afternoon, from 2-5ish. But I feel her all during the night too! Hope this baby doesn't already have her days and nights mixed up! 

According to my app, she is anywhere from 17-19 inches and weighs more than 4 1/2 pounds! I hate to wish the time away, but I can't wait to hold my baby girl!
