Cravings

Everyone keeps asking me what crazy cravings I have had during this pregnancy. And honestly I dont really think that I have had any. I mean there are a couple of things that I wake up thinking about and go to sleep dreaming about. But I have not sent Jeff out on any midnight runs for pickles and hot fries....... YET.

Since day 1 I want a snowcone everyday. And when I say everyday I mean that I found a coffee shop of all places across the street from my office that sells these bad boys buy one get 1 free. NO I dont have 2 at a time but my point is that they are cheap! And any flavor will do.

My most recent craving has been cherry icee's. I just figure if I can't get to a snowcone stand this HAS to be the next best thing. And at every convient store there a slurpee machine.

So I figure up until this point my cravings have been pretty harmless. In a calorie/weight gaining kind of way. Seriously how bad can flavored ice be. Apparently not to bad. Im 20 weeks and have not gained a pound yet!

HOWEVER, I have a feeling this may soon change. After a quick trip to the grocerie store tonight and a very bad decision to walk the ice cream isle. I discovered quite possibly the most wonderful thing ever. Strawberry Cheesecake Icecream from Blue Bell. I am not a huge ice cream eatter and I would choose Sherbert any day. But this is the most delicious thing ever... I recomend staying very far away from the ice cream isle at you local grocerie store. Whether you are pregnant or not. =) ** Have any of you had any crazy cravings while you were pregnant?**

What's in a name

Well folks our baby girl has a name. Which has made this whole experience even more real. She no longer has to go by baby, or baby girl. She actually has a name! Macy Nicole Herring
Macy: Which means Enduring. And after enduring 3 years of infertility and coming out with the best outcome,it just fit. PLUS I just love it.
Nicole: This was an easy one. It's my middle name. And it also means victory of the people. And beating infertlity is an amazing victory for a couple.
Herring: Well because I could not think of any other last name I would want to give my girl =)

It's a......

Well folks... We are having a GIRL! I still can't believe it, I mean I would not have cared in the least if it would have been a boy. But I am over the moon to have a daughter. We found out on Tuesday June 28. Since I work at an ObGyn clinic, ultrasounds are pretty much at my disposal. Our "official" appt is still not until this coming Friday (7/16) But I just couldnt stand it any longer. So I had our tech scan me and not tell me what it was. She wrote it down on a piece of paper and sealed it in a envelope. On my lunch break I took my little note to Dillards and picked out 2 lovies, a pink one and a blue one. I took them to the lady behind the counter and had to explain why I was there and that I didnt know what we were having and that I wanted her to open up my envelope and without showing me to bag up which ever one it said. She laughed, bagged it up, I and was on my way.

THEN I took my Dillards bag down to Hallmark and picked out a little bag and some pink and blue paper and then explained to the lady behind the counter there what I was trying to do and asked her if she could please wrap my present without showing me what was inside. She too laughed, made me turn around, bagged my gift, i paid and left.
I honestly had to put the gift bag in the back of my car because I was afraid I would open it with out Jeff.Once I got home we went to dinner and opened our present. When Jeff pulled out the little pink lovie out of the bag I was in complete shock to say the least! I would have bet money he was going to pull out blue. I felt like I was trying to scarf down my food (as best I can these days) to get out of there and call my family. =)Everyone was just as excited as we were and no one could believe it either. With Jeff being the last Herring, I know his parents we thinking blue! Hopefully next time.
And as if my night could not get any sweeter, once I finally calmed down enough to go to bed. I was laying there watching TV and sure enough my baby girl started kicking . It was the 1st time I felt her move and it could not have happened on a more perfect day.

Here's my GIRL!

I DISLIKE my computer ALOT

I am sorry I am still behind on ALL of my post right now. I have been trying to get everything up to date yet I guess since my computer is still acting all crazy blogger will not let me upload ANY pictures and the 2 that it did let me upload it will not let me move anything around. Hopefully 1 day I can get caught up. =(

Camryn's 1st Birthday Party

I am still having issues with my computer which is why I am WAY behind on all my posts. I promise one day I will get all caught up. Figures that this would happen when I finally get pregnant! This particular post is almost a month late. =( Auntie M is sorry Camryn.

On June 18 my niece Camryn LeAnn turned a whole 1 year old. I still can't believe that an enire year has passes by since she joined our family. She is such a sweet baby girl and I cant wait to watch her grow up.
We celebrated her birthday with a family cookout and swim party. The kids had a blast, and the adults had a pretty good time too. As you can tell from all the pictures below.
