Baby Shower and Ten-Year Reunion

Well, it's been forever since I have posted anything...things have been busy around here. I am now 33 weeks and getting more and more anxious as the days pass. We still have so much to do in Emery's room and I still have to plan for missing 7 weeks of school. It'll all get done somehow, right?

I had a wonderful shower here in Amarillo a couple of weeks ago. I have the sweetest friends who threw it for me and also got me my car seat and stroller. We got tons of gifts all of which are in the office right now waiting for the nursery to be finished!! Emery is going to be very well taken care of! Here are a few shots from the shower.


Me with Tricia, David's sister and Rosanne, David's momma.

Me with all of my wonderful hostesses...a few were missing but they are all very appreciated!


Some of my girl friends and a couple of adorable kiddos.

Opening gifts...these were some really cute embroidered bibs with Emery's name on them.


Well, this is kind of out of order....the next couple of pictures were from September when we went to Abilene for my ten year reunion. We had a good time catching up with some of my really good friends from home. I loved seeing them and wish we were able to get together more often.


Of course, we had to take a cheesy picture! This is me with some of my best friends, Misty, Ashley P., and Ashley H. Love these girls!

So great to see them!

Here is a picture of me a week ago when I was 32 weeks along. Now I'm 33 weeks and feel bigger already. We went to the doctor last week and he said that he'll do a sonogram next time to get an idea of how big she is. She is moving all the time, getting the hick-ups multiple times a day and loves kicking me in the ribs while I'm trying to teach my kids! I love feeling her move but am getting a little annoyed with the jabs to the ribs! I can't wait to meet her but hope that I have at least until her due date to get ready!

22 Weeks

So, I'm 22 weeks now and feeling great aside from the occasional back ache. I went to Dallas this weekend for Sarah's 30th birthday and to see my friend Tracy's baby, Avery. It was a fun trip but way too fast! I don't have any pictures though because I forgot to take a camera! Hopefully, I can get some from Sarah. Elle was adorable and is just talking away! Apparently, I am going to be Aunt Bobby...at least until she can say Bonnie! She called me Bobby and would just smile as big as possible after she would say it. I loved it! Sarah called me after I left and told me that she was going to the front door saying, "my Bobby, my Bobby." How stinkin' cute is that!?

It was great seeing two of my girlfriends from college, Katie and Tracy. We went to lunch and hung out with little Avery. She's almost two months old and is absolutely adorable. I loved seeing her and Tracy together. Tracy is already such a good mommy.

Well, here are a couple of pictures of my growing belly. It has started to really stick out there now. Can't believe I'm more than half way through my pregnancy!

Laundry room and baby bedding...

Update on the house projects -

David is finished with the yard for now...he is going to hydro-mulch and seed (those may be the same thing, but I don't really know...) the yard in September when it cools off a little bit. So for now, we just have dirt in the front yard. It does have a brand new sprinkler system, new retaining wall, and three new trees though! I will try to post some pictures although it's not too pretty without grass. Now, he is working on the new laundry room. It's sheet-rocked and almost ready for texture. He's hoping to have it textured and tiled by the end of the week. Here are some pictures of the laundry room...


David texturing the walls.
David built a platform for my washer and dryer. We didn't want to pay $500 for the stands that go with our washer and dryer...don't know why anyone would.


Some of you have asked about my baby bedding so I thought I'd post a picture from the internet. I still have to find a crib and a glider for her room but I guess there's no rush on that. I think I want to paint the crib yellow to go with her bedding. That's about all I know about her room for now though! David will have to take a break from the rest of the house for a weekend to redo her closet, so until then, I can't really do anything in there. Her closet is a really good size but the door is right in the middle and the closet goes on forever in both directions. So, David's going to tear out the door and put in double doors so that all of the space can be easily used. He wasn't too thrilled about this project but it will be worth it in the end! :)

19 week sonogram

Here are some pictures from our sonogram today. We are officially having a girl and as far as we know she is just perfect. We see our doctor next week when I'm sure he'll go over the sonogram details with us. She was moving around a little bit and even had the hickups for a while. It was so much fun getting to see her again and how much she is changing. She measured right on for her due date and weighs approximately 10 ounces right now. Sorry the pictures are a little freaky looking right now...hope you still think she's a cutie!

I felt her move!

This morning I was lying in bed contimplating getting up when I felt and saw my belly jump! It was the craziest thing ever! So I called David over to me and he got to feel her punch around a little bit too. It made me so happy to finally feel her. So, I stayed in bed a little while longer and felt her a few more times. It was wonderful. I can't wait to feel her all the time now...she had better sleep at night though! ;)

19 Weeks

So, some people have been bugging me about getting a belly photo on here so I finally took one today. We had a wedding to go to this afternoon so I thought that would be a good time to get a photo since I don't get fixed up very often!

We have a sonogram on Tuesday to check out the baby's organs and everything. Hopefully everything is just perfect. I'll post some pictures next week!

We're Having a Girl!!

No pictures to post, but we did find out today that we are having a precious little girl - well, my doctor is 98% sure! I have been wanting a girl since Sarah and Susan both have little girls right now and I have this vision of them all being best friends. So, a month ago when my doctor was saying it looked like there appeared to be boy parts, I have to admit I was a tad bit sad. Over the past four weeks though I have become quite attached to the little guy...

So, when we saw the sonogram this afternoon we were just shocked that things had completely changed and now we are having to come up with little girl names! I am so excited about having a girl and even happier to know everything looked just as it should. It's always such a relief to hear those words out of your doctor's mouth.

We go have our big sonogram in a few weeks to make sure everything is developing correctly and we should know for sure that it's a girl then. I'll be sure to let everyone know!
