Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

That's what little girls are made of. Well, at least we hope so! Here are her first "professional" photos:

Her profile


The 4-D image (note the "beret" on her head. That would be gas, thanks to mommy's lunch. haha


And the proof that the Turner Family can still make baby girls!

Look for an update at 11:00 PM

We have been very busy today. Sorry to make you all wait but we have some very important people in Italy that haven't heard and are asleep right now but will be up soon. So keep on waiting or check in tomorrow! Love you guys!

Tomorrow is the big day. Let's hope Baby Turner cooperates with us! I will update my blog as soon as I can! And for you that will repeatedly check in all day, the appointment is at 1:00pm. So, don't check back until 3:00pm or so.

Enough Already!

Seriously, Fay, yes, we were a bit dry here but not THAT dry. You can move on any day now. For those of you outside of Florida, today is the 3rd day our schools are closed in Seminole County. We now have a few apparent roof leaks, thanks to the wind blowing the rain into our roof vents. We have friends with flooded homes. It is insane. So, if one of you non-Floridians is somewhere doing a rain dance, you can quit now.

Ryan's 3 Year Portraits

We tried the traditional setting this year at Picture People. It was a terrible experience. Ryan cried and screamed. So, I called on friend/photographer to help a girl out with pictures. And she came through with flying colors!!!! If you are in the Central Florida area, you seriously should try her. Anyway, here are some of my favorites:

And back to Disney we go!

Allen has been blacked-out from Disney this Summer. Honestly, though, we think people who go to Disney in the heat of Summer with the huge crowds are insane. So, yesterday was our first day to go back. It's a good thing, because Ryan has been asking to "Go to Ditney?" SO, we went. It sprinkled on and off all morning. That was great because it kept the crowds away and it was cooler. Ryan is now deciding what we ride on and seeing him enjoy the rides is wonderful. He screamed with laughter throughout Philharmagic, which made us laugh. Here are some pics from the day!
As soon as Philharmagic was over, Ryan spotted the carousel. Allen tried to keep me off of the ride. Apparently, the horses can get too wild for a pregnant lady. haha I got on anyway.
Ryan, in serious mode, not so impressed yet.

Really still not impressed.

There's my smile!

We waited in line for Dumbo but it started to rain. Allen had already declared he wasn't riding it. Then, Ryan bailed out. I was more than happy to not "fly" in the rain. After lunch, on to the Tea Cups.

We went to Toon Town. Ryan spotted the Barnstormer. Allen was not as excited about riding it because the last time Ryan was scared with him. BUT, Ryan insisted and Allen gave in.
Apparently, Ryan is still not sure about it. Check out the death grip on Allen's arm.

On to Donald's boat to play in the water. It was hot by now. Ryan was loving the little water they had there.

Trying to plug the hole...not really working for him.

After that, we went for ice cream. We probably should have left because if I took pictures of what happened during our ice cream you would have seen this:
Daddy sharing his cone with Ryan. Mommy enjoying her Root Beer Float. Ryan stealing Daddy's cone. Ryan not sharing the cone anymore. Allen attempting to take the cone away to show Ryan "how to share". Ryan crushing the bottom of the cone in a death grip to keep the cone. Ice cream dripping everywhere. Mommy getting tired of the ice cream hassle. Mommy taking the cone (and the $3.50 it cost for it) and throwing it away. Ryan crying. Daddy grumbling. More crying. Long walk to the exit.

Kick It!

With this anterior placenta thing (which means the placenta is between the outside of my tummy and the baby), I haven't felt as much movement with this baby. Not a lot of flutters or anything. The doctor told me that would happen. What I have felt is the baby repositioning themselves in there and that feels pretty cool. Remind me in a couple months when I am talking about this child trying to rip it's way out, that I said it was a "cool" feeling. haha
ANYWAY, last night I felt my first kick. I think maybe he or she was annoyed with some of the people on Big Brother, too. Hopefully soon, Allen will be able to feel them.
