Showers and Mud

September 28, 2008

Last weekend Jeffrey and I did not see each other at all…that was the sad part! The great part was that we both did some very exciting things! :)  

Friday afternoon I drove straight to Atlanta from school to spend the weekend. Saturday morning I got to spend time and have breakfast with one of my very best friends, Diana. She is currently attending school in LA, so I’m so glad that we were able to get together while she was back in the south…it was great to catch up! After breakfast, we headed home and helped set up for our very first baby shower! It was wonderful to see family and friends from home….and it was sooo exciting to receive so many great gifts for Sarah Ann! We are so grateful for everything! Here are some pictures from the shower…

Saturday afternoon, Jeffrey participated in the Mud Run at Fort Jackson with three of his friends: Mike, David, and Chris from our Sunday School Class. They did a great job and finished the 4.2 mile course in an hour and nine minutes! Thank you Elizabeth for taking pictures for me since I couldn’t be there. Here are some pictures of the team and a very muddy Jeffrey…

Sunday I had a shower at the church I grew up at given to me by some wonderful ladies and friends! It was great to see everyone from my home church, and we were so blessed with some great gifts for Sarah Ann! She is going to be so spoiled! Below are a couple pictures from the shower at church…

Jeffrey and I were very happy to see each other on Sunday night when I got back from Atlanta…and I think Jeffrey was in shock when he saw all of the wonderful things we received over the weekend! Thank you again to everyone who has blessed us so much, not just with gifts, but especially with your prayers and support!

We now have a lot of work to do in the nursery to finish up and get organized….hopefully we will have some more pictures of Sarah Ann’s room all ready in just a couple weeks!

Only 5 and 1/2 weeks to go! Wow!

 

32 Weeks!

September 13, 2008

Well, we are now into our eighth month of pregnancy! It still seems all very surreal to me, even when she is moving all around, sometimes I can’t really believe that God has blessed us so incredibly with a baby!

We went to the doctor on Monday, and everything is great! Sarah Ann weighs about 3 and 1/2 pounds. The doctor put me on some iron pills, so that will hopefully help me with a little more energy…school and cheerleading is keeping me busy!

The next few weeks are going to be busy with several showers, and we are really looking forward to seeing so many of our family and friends over the next few weeks before Sarah Ann arrives! Her nursery is coming together, and we can’t wait to finish it! Last night we went to Babies R Us to pick up her mattress, and we bought letters to put her name up above her crib. Jeffrey was so excited that he immediately opened up all the letters and got the drill out to get them all ready to put on the wall…so cute!

Speaking of Sarah Ann moving all around, she is going crazy right now…maybe she’s ready for breakfast…Frosted Flakes and milk, here we come!

Have a wonderful weekend! WAR EAGLE!

Happy Grandparents Day!

Our parents are very excited about becoming grandparents in just a few weeks! Jeffrey, Sarah Ann, and I just wanted to say happy grandparents day and we love you all very much! We’re sure Sarah Ann will be spoiled in no time!
