Surprise!

My office gave me surprise shower on Tuesday afternoon. I was actually really surprised, even Andrew made it up for the event. They took a collection of money and bought me some really great gifts. My favorite was the video monitor. I totally said I wasn’t going to buy one of these, but after we had dinner at a friend’s house this past weekend and I played with theirs, I knew I had to have one. The little TV screen is on the hand held monitor, you can just carry it around! Anyways, I received tons of great stuff, thanks to all my fellow co-workers who contributed. No one thought to have a camera on hand, so I have zero photos. The below photo was taken at home. It’s a horrible photo of me, but oh well, just look at the gifts.

In baby news, everything is going great, only 6 weeks left. Lola is continuing to grow right on track!

Busy Weekend!

We had a busy and event filled weekend. My parents, brother Jonathan & grandmother were in town for the weekend. We had such a good time. Kristen (my sister-in-law) graduated from Lipscomb with her masters in teaching. Graduation was great and we had a big celebration dinner at Monell’s Saturday night. Below is a picture of Kristen and I pre-pregnancy. Somehow we went all day Saturday without getting any photos of her in her cap & gown.

Sunday I had my first baby shower at church. I had such a blast, I think baby showers are more fun then wedding! Lola got so much stuff. Andrew & I are blessed with such a wonderful church family. Thanks to everyone who helped and was there. Below are a few photos from the shower.

Here are a few random photos from the weekend. Abby (my cousin Wendy’s little girl) really loved the banana pudding at Monell’s! Here is Abby with JC & Nate!

Here is a photo of cousin Wendy & my grandmother. Doesn’t Wendy look stylish in my grandmother’s jacket. She got so excited about to photo she closed her eyes!

Here are a few photos of me post shower, we have so much stuff and so little room.

Go Dawgs/Roll Tide

Oh what a house divided! I think we are ready for football season…

30 Weeks & The Beach

Andrew & I were lucky enough to take one last vacation together before Lola arrives. We headed to the beach last week for some much needed R&R. The weather was perfect and the beach was beautiful. I think I even slept through the night one night, no bathroom breaks! For all those requesting a photo, here is a 30 week shot. Not the best photo I have ever taken, so be easy! I had a doctor’s appointment Wednesday and everything was well, Lola is measuring right on schedule!

Birthday Party & Bird Problems!

This past Sunday we had a birthday cookout for Andrew’s parents at our house after church. Their birthdays are within a month of each other, so we had a joint celebration. We had a great time with family and food. Happy Birthday Marsha & David!
Okay, so now to the birds. Well, the weather was beautiful, so most of the birthday festivities were out on our deck. In the 2-3 hours everyone was there, I know at least 3 people were pooped on by a bird. We have never had any problems with anything like this, so I was shocked and felt awful (apologies again to all victims). Well, since Sunday, the problem has worsened; our deck and cars are covered with bird poop. I caught Jack (our dog) sitting under the table outside yesterday and I am convinced that he was dodging the bird droppings. Has anyone had this problem before??? Here is a photo, you can’t tell much, but believe me, it is everywhere.

Anyways, on a cleaner note, here are the fabric swatches for the nursery. Hopefully I will get everything to her this week to begin the project. I can’t wait to see the finished product!

Meet Mable

I just love puppies! My brother and his wife Kristen just got a black lab puppy named Mable. She is just too cute , so I had to post a few pics.

Long Time, No Post

Sorry it’s been a while since I have posted anything, we have been really busy. This weekend we were in Atlanta visiting my family, it’s always nice to go home. Mom and I even had time to fit in pedicures, it’s not easy painting your toenails when pregnant. While there we went to a wedding reception for my cousin Ashley. Josh and Ashley were married in Colorado a few months ago, but had the reception in Atlanta this weekend. Congrats to Josh and Ashley!

We have also picked out baby furniture, bedding fabric and started the nursery. Here is a pic of Andrew and Uncle Nate doing a little painting. Yes the nursery is tan and brown, I just can’t handle pink walls! I will post a few pictures of the progress we make in the coming weeks.
