Grace Zandew grew up in a small town near Houston, Tx. She competes in barrel racing and tie down on a pro level. This coming season she joins ERA. What she doesn't know is that she has caught the eye of a man from Sulphur, Louisiana. He's a champio...
About a month pregnant and he's taking me to a football game. This guy would go to every LSU game there is. Luckily this is a OSU vs LSU game and I got to wear my orange.
More like a bedlam shirt with 'BEAT OU!' Plastered on the back. So he can't complain. We found a seat and watched the game. After the game he got me an LSU tee and a cap. Looks like I'm going to be an LSU fan unless the pokes are playing.

I went to the doctor with Shane to see our baby. No body knows about little Hanchey yet nor will we tell anyone until it really starts to show. Four months of being pregnant and I've suffered from mourning sickness and cravings.
The cravings aren't as bad as the mourning sickness. I prefer the cravings because its feeding me and the baby. Then the mourning sickness makes me puke and have nothing in my stomach.
"Well baby looks fine you can come in after the twentieth of March to see what gender it's going to be." We heard the baby's heartbeat and saw it for the first time.
Shane wanted a picture so he could carry it in his wallet while he travels. When we got home he called Marty Yates and asked if they could travel together. I'm guessing Marty said yes because Shane kissed me and started the next load of clothes for me. Chores are going to be hard for the next few months.
Right now baggy shirts hide the baby bump and after a shower Shane always wants me to lay by him on the couch so he could be close to me and the baby.
I laid down in bed and fell asleep on my side. I've been doing great on not sleeping on my stomach. Mostly with Shane's help. He's been making sure I don't roll onto my belly or too far to my side. Either I have to lay on my back or on my side. So it's pretty much uncomfortable.
Recently I found this blow up bed for pregnancy so I can lay on my stomach. It has a hole where my belly goes so it will make it more comfy. I'm going to try it out after Shane leaves next month. He won't get to see the gender reveal but I'll make it up to him with a video of the doctor's appointment.

I got up and almost waddled into the bathroom. Almost five months and I have to walk like this. I've taken a liking to his sweats and tee shirts. Over the past month I've grown a lot. Now Shane wants to back out of traveling due to him possibly missing the birth of our baby.
I'm hoping its born around the time I visit him in July. I went back into the bedroom and got one of his shirts and a pair of sweatpants. Yeah I love being comfortable.
He's leaving with Marty Yates tomorrow and he'll miss the gender reveal. I went into the kitchen and he had breakfast ready. He kissed me and I sat down at the bar.
"How's my beautiful wife this morning?" He asked. "A whale." I told him. "Baby your not even close to a whale." He told me. Tears started forming.
"Baby you know I meant it." He said hurrying to me. They fell and he wiped them away, curse these mood swings. "I know." I said through the tears. He kissed my forehead and got me through the swing.
I finished eating my breakfast and went out to the barn. I know I'm not supposed to but I've got to see the horses. I scratched Arrow's head as he sniffed my enlarging belly.
I gave him a treat and walked down the isle. Half an hour later my husband joined me. He walked with me down to the tack room. The in ground pool was cleaned and ready for use once it got warmer and I was going to use it.
I sat down on a hay bale and leaned on a saddle. "Grace I don't think I should go." "Shane your going on the road and supporting the family until I can get back out there. Then we'll both be on the road." I told him. "I just don't want to miss the birth of our baby."
"And you won't miss it." Hopefully. "How do you know?" He asked. "I just have this feeling you won't." I told him. He looked at me like how? "How do you know I won't miss the birth of our first born?" He asked.
"Shane knowing you you'll try anything to get to me when it's time. No matter where we are at the time I know you won't miss it." I said getting up and going over to him and leaning on the saddle he was scrubbing.
"Baby I love you so much that I won't forgive myself if I miss this birth." "I know. I'll be with you at Calgary." I said then kissed him and went back to the house. He's going to be a handful more than this baby will. 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎 I got into my ford focus and drove to the doctor's office. I left an hour after Shane left so he should be on the road far from Sulphur. I opened the door and signed in before I found a seat.
I spotted his mom at the far end of the waiting room and hoping that she wouldn't notice me. They called my name and I hurried in. Shane still didn't want news out until he found out the gender of the baby.
I sat down on the bed and the nurse told me to lay back. I did what she told me and started recording on my phone after she took my vitals and left the room.
"Hey Shane keep watching this video to find out the gender of the baby." I sat before the doctor came in.
