Saying Goodbye

This past Wedenesday the girls from work took me to lunch to say goodbye. It is bittersweet leaving work, I am sure that I will enjoy being a stay at home mom but I am going to miss everyone that I have worked with for the last 3 years (almost). We ate at the Mexican restaurant, Mexican Food is my favorite. Wednesday was my last day so I am resting at home now and awaiting Baby A's arrival. I did have a doctors appointment today and I have not made any progress so right now it looks like Baby A still has a few more weeks to go.

Sunday School Class Shower

Lunch before the shower

Showering us with diapers & wipes (yay!!!)

Our Sunday School Class gave us a diaper/wipe shower this past Sunday, it was so nice. The had a very nice lunch after church then they all brought us lots of diapers & wipes which you can always use with a new baby. We appreciate everyone thinking of us and it was a great day with friends.

My mother in law's side of the family had a very nice shower for us while we were in Decatur also. It was almost like a family reunion (it was great to see everyone that we don't get to see very often). Jack and I feel very blessed to have so many people that love us and want to do special things for us.

My sister was the photographer for the afternoon so we have lots of pictures from this shower, hope you enjoy. Baby A has so many nice things, we are just waiting for the big arrival now!!!

Baby A's Decatur Shower!!!

Our wonderful friends showered Baby A and I this past weekend and everything was so nice. Baby A got SO MANY nice things. It was great to see everyone and I really appreciate everyone thinking of Jack, Me and Baby A during this special time.
I did take my camera to the shower but I was so busy visiting with everyone that I only got one picture and it was of Jennifer's darling cupcakes that she made to coordinate with our nursery colors!!!

We are still here

Sorry, I have not posted in so long, I really just have not had any BIG news. But I am 30 weeks now so we only have 10 more to go, yea!!! I am feeling good. My hubby is so sweet and helpful. The nursery is starting to come together so it should not be too long before I can post some pictures. Jack was off for a week and did sooo many honeydues (what a sweetheart). He got our kitchen & half bath painted. Then he added more shleves in Baby A's closet and painted the nursery.

Hiccups

This morning J.W. (Baby A) had the hiccups for the first time (that I could feel). It was so neat! I was still lying in the bed watching the news, about to start my morning routine, when I felt what I thought what him moving, but it continued and the movements were different, just like when we have hiccups, I could see one particular place on my tummy move. I still think this is absolutely a miracle and a such (our) little blessing.

The Great-Grandmothers

This past weekend some of my dear friend's here in Auburn gave me (and Baby A) my first baby shower and it was so nice, we got so many great things, the food was wonderful and it was a very special day for us. My mom, both of my grandmothers and Jack's mom all got to come from Decatur and that was great getting to visit with all of them.

Something Special!!!

Last night something special happened at our house, Jack got to feel Baby A kick for the first time. The baby has gotten pretty active and I was so glad that Jack finally got to feel him. This is a very special time and I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful man as my husband and I can't wait for us both to meet our son and I know that Jack will be a great dad.

J.W.

I just wanted to let you all know that we have come up with an "in utero" name for Baby Anglea which is J.W. Jack's name is Jack Wesley, so it is short for his name. I do think it is cute right now, but this is not the name we will call him when he is born. One of his grandmothers (my mom, Lee) kind of started this when we found out the sex and she said that is what we can call him for now so sometimes it is just easier than Baby A or Baby Anglea. I am still feeling great, thanks for all of the prayers, emails and calls!!!

We have decided to blog too!!!

We are so excited, I am 19 weeks now and we found out that Baby A is healthy and little boy!!!
We are going to wait until he is born until we tell his name (we want to keep it a secret). I will try to keep everyone updated through our new blog. I am so excited to have a blog of our own now so that we can keep everyone posted on what we are doing and how Baby A is growing.

I would like to thank my friend Jennie-Marie for helping me get our blog started, I can't wait.
