Life could not get any SWEETER!

Except maybe once HE is actually here! We have had a BIG week in the Conroy household. It started on Tuesday around 4:30pm. I was laying in bed after working Sunday and Monday night. I did NOT want to get up for my third shift that night and then.....kick, kick..."was that what I think it was?".....kick, kick! The last one even moved my hand. I was definitely in tears at that point. I know it is kind of silly but it was the most AMAZING feeling I have ever felt. Up until then I could only feel slight movements but no kicks. I found out at our appointment that my placenta is anterior (meaning in front of little Cash instead of behind) so that is why I don't feel him as much. Since then I only feel him kick when I am laying down. That is ok with me though. That way he has ALL my attention. I have felt him pretty much every time I lay down. Frank even felt his last little kick this AM. He really liked that . I have been super emotional lately about little Cash growing inside of me and those little kicks just sent me over the edge. I know women do it all the time and I am not special but I just feel VERY lucky that God chose Frank and I to have this son. I already love him more than I have ever loved anything in this world. Probably the hormones talking, ha!

Also, I read this book this week and thought it was VERY good. Frank actually stole it from me and read it all on his day off. It is a SUPER easy read and really makes you think about Heaven and what it will be like. I feel like God definitely has a special place for children in Heaven. I really hope I get to see my Nanny (grandmother) again in Heaven. I know she will be there waiting for me. If this little boy in the book is right she will be her young, beautiful self instead of the older, grandmother I knew (she was still beautiful though). I may just have to look a little harder for her since I may not recognize her. If you get the chance you should read it.





20 weeks this week!!

• You are 6.5 inches and about 10.6 ounces this week.
• You are aprox. the size of a small cantaloupe.
• Everything looked PERFECT on your anatomy ultrasound.
• You were being stubborn (of course) and were positioned breech (head up) so it was a little harder to see everything but the tech said she got all the views she needed.
• Mommy did NOT like this..daddy was just happy to see your handsome face BUT I wanted the BEST views of ALL your organs and would have really liked the tech to say "oh my, I have never gotten such a clear view of the heart, bladder, lungs, etc" instead of "I really wish he would give us a better view"
• She said all four of your heart chambers are beating away and look healthy. She also saw three vessels so that is great news.
• I even went to the bathroom and jumped up and down and touched my toes and you still wouldn't budge. I bet as soon as I walked out of that place you turned...looks like you are going to be stubborn just like your mommy and daddy.
• One body part that you are sure to show to the WORLD is your little BOY part! I wanted to know what you were so bad early on and you keep on showing me. HA! Hopefully you will learn that you can't just show that to the world whenever you want or we will be in trouble.
• Your kicks make my heart skip a beat. I just love feeling you. It makes me feel that much closer to you.
• You have the MOST beautiful nose and lips..you actually have lips so I am guessing they are your daddy's. I have a feeling you are going to have CONROY written all over your little face. That is ok with me. Maybe you will at least get some freckles. The tech did say that your face looks even more defined than most at your gestation. Your auntie Tay says your already an overachiever. Just don't grow too big in there. I don't want to birth a kindergarder!
• Your mommy and daddy already love you so much we could burst...you are the most wonderful blessing we could ever imagine.

Look at those perfect lips and nose...you are so cute already!

This one you are saying "No more pictures PLEASE!"

This one is a little creepy skeletor face!

Yep..we know!

Psalm 127:3Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him.


Psalm 139:13You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.


So now we are headed off to DC for Frank to be in his friends wedding. We are super excited to see all his buddies and there wives/fiances/girlfriends again so soon. We aren't used to getting to see them two months in a row. Should be a fun road trip.....off to pack. I hope everyone has a FABuLOUS weekend!
