Ready or not...

Jason and I are in the final countdown to B-day! Our little man is due to arrive on March 10th, or perhaps a little before. So with three weeks and counting, I am sending a test run of our new blog to all of our friends and family. We will update this site often with baby photos and stories of our little boy. You can "follow" the blog, and get updates when new posts are added (see button on right of screen), or you can save this to your favorite web sites, and check-in whenever you like. :)

With a little less than 4 weeks to go, we went in for an ultrasound to check on the baby's size. He has been checking in a bit large all along. So now, weighing in at 8lbs, 5 oz, we have ourselves a BIG boy! The baby and I are perfectly healthy, so nothing to worry about. Jason is hopeful some of this size will result in a little more height than expected... :)

In Texas right before New Years we took some family pics with the Grishams. They were nice enough to capture a few of Jason and I, and my bump.

Look what he did! And I still had over two months to go!

Me and all my largeness!

Baby Shower

The baby shower was a lot of fun! It was amazing to be surrounded by so many of the important women in my life! We played some silly games, and ate some yummy food! Everyone was extremely generous in the gifts we received, thank you!!

Below are a small collection of pics capturing the event!

The hostesses with the mostesses! Three, almost four generations accounted for!!












Two pregnant mamas, and one VERY happy grandmother!!












Beth and Millie did a great job of test driving the baby books we received! They all got the Millie seal of approval!


















Is that poop, or chocolate in your diaper?! If only it always smelled this sweet!!








Jessie and Jenny are serious about figuring it out!



Any bets on the amount of toilet paper needed to fit around my belly now?!



Don't be too surprised about the winner of that game, as the sole guy at the party, he had to represent! And he was very excited to do so!





The Boo-boo Bunnies were a big hit, though some had more of a knack for making them than others! :)










And here I am, just getting bigger and bigger every week!!

Thanks again to everyone for making my shower such a special event! We are slowly getting there with the preparations. Now all we need is the baby...
