Pictures, Chipotle's and Stubborn Babies

Today was a very productive day for the Trotters (well, at least for most of us). We got up at a decent time - at least for a Saturday- and headed out to WalMart to get the girls pictures taken. I've found that WalMart usually has relatively decent pics and you get TONS for a very reasonable price. I made Cory come with us because I really wanted to get a family pic for some greeting cards, needless to say he wasn't the happiest with me - but he "soldiered" up and was a real trooper. We managed to get a REALLY good pic of the girls together, 2 good pics (each) seperately, one family photo that will do the job, and even got a pic of just Cory and I that turned out really well. We did all of that, plus pic our package and "customize" it and get out in about 30 min. We were all happy - me because now I can tell the Grandparents that new pics are coming, Cory because the picture taking was over and he survived and the girls because they LOVE to have their picture taken!! I'll post the pictures as soon I get them back!!!
After our picture taking, we headed down to Round Rock (about 45 min from here) for lunch and then our much anticipated 3D ultrasound for Reese. We stopped in at Chipotle's- Cory's most favorite place to eat. It's kind of like Moe's but not even close to as good (don't tell Cory I said that). There's not one here, so I don't mind letting Cory get his MASSIVE burrito when we make the trip down I-35. He was happy and I am glad that I am married to a man that is all set after just one burrito every couple of months!!!
After our lunch, it was off to see our little man. I thought that because we had just eaten he would be awake and active as this is his usual behavior. Boy was I wrong. The ultrasound started out with Reese having his hands OVER is face and refusing to move them. The U/S tech had me get up and walk around to get him to move. I laid back down and Reese had flipped over to where we could only see his back. From then on, he refused to be seen. I went to Baskin Robbins to "sugar" him up and that didn't even work. He wouldn't let us see ANYTHING but his back - he showed his butt, literally!!!! I had to chuckle even though it was frustrating because he is already so much like Cory and I - Cory because be does not like being the "center" of attention and Me because when I decide I don't want to do something, NOTHING will change my mind. So we left Round Rock empty handed today. :( We are scheduled to go back next Saturday and try again. Hopefully Reese will see the need to grace us with his cooperation as I just want ONE picture.
After our failed attempt at capturing a pic of our little "angel", we headed back to Killeen for a friends baby shower and then I was off to WalMart for groceries. Reese definitely woke up in WalMart - I've decided that he either loves grocery shopping or hates it as he goes bananas everytime I walk into WalMart, the commisary or HEB (our grocery store here). After putting away the massive amount of groceries and eating a very late dinner - I'm such a bad mom - Cory and I watched Eight Crazy Nights (another of Cory's traditions) and are now turning in for the night.
Hopefully tomm will allow us to rest and be lazy, as my body (mostly my swollen ankles and feet) need the break. I hope everyone has had a great weekend!!!!
