Double The Fun October 28, 2008

Filed under: Mommy — cortneyhope @ 7:17 pm

A few weeks ago my friend Raluca and I had a double baby shower at the school we teach at. She is due eight weeks after me, and she is also having a baby girl! We had a great time celebrating together at the shower, and we got so many fun matching gifts. We can’t wait to dress the girls alike and take lots of pictures! Alina and Sarah Ann are going to be great friends! Thank you to all of the wonderful 7th grade teachers who helped with the shower…it was wonderful!

We go back to the doctor tomorrow…only one week to go! We’ll keep you updated… :)

 

Making Progress October 24, 2008

Jeffrey and I went Wednesday for our 38 week OB visit…the doctor says that everything is great and I am still right on track! I am beginning to make some progress…I am 1-2 cm dialated and 80% effaced! Jeffrey and I are very excited, and we can’t wait for Sarah Ann to get here!

Last night my dad said that he was packing his bag, so he’ll be ready to come whenever we call…I called my mom this morning to discuss Grey’s Anatomy, but she was hoping I was calling to tell her Sarah Ann was on the way! Can you tell we are all getting excited?

We’ll keep you updated…

Last week my cheerleaders, their moms, and Coach Cammann surprised me at practice with a baby shower! It was sooo wonderful to celebrate with the girls…they are so excited about Sarah Ann’s arrival! They all want to babysit! Below is a picture of the delicious cake and some of the girls eating way too much food…Am I a tough coach for still making them practice after we got done celebrating?? :)

 

Daddy’s Little Girl October 17, 2008

A couple of weeks ago Jeffrey and I were at Lowe’s looking for new blinds for Sarah Ann’s room. Jeffrey had also been wanting to get a fan for Sarah Ann’s room, so when we couldn’t decide on blinds we headed to the fan section. As soon as Jeffrey saw this fan, I knew we weren’t leaving without it. He said that his little girl needed this fan! Can you tell who already has Daddy wrapped around her little finger??

 

9 months pregnant! October 10, 2008

Filed under: Baby — cortneyhope @ 2:09 pm

We cannot believe that we have reached the nine month mark…we only have a few weeks to go! Jeffrey and I were talking last night, and it still does not seem real. The room is ready, our bags are packed, the doctor says everything is perfect…but we still can’t really believe that we are about to have a child of our very own. I think that I have spent so much of my time growing up playing with baby dolls and then dreaming about having my own child, that it is crazy to me to think that now it’s really about to happen!

Please keep us in your prayers the next few weeks as we wait for Sarah Ann’s arrival. We can’t wait to meet God’s beautiful creation and see all that God is doing to do in and through her!

Psalm 139:13-16… 

13 For you created my inmost being;
       you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
       your works are wonderful,
       I know that full well.

 15 My frame was not hidden from you
       when I was made in the secret place.
       When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

 16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
       All the days ordained for me
       were written in your book
       before one of them came to be.

On September 26, we had a couples shower with our Sunday School class and friends! It was so great to spend time with our great friends, and it’s fun to see guys hanging out at a baby shower! We had a wonderful dinner, enjoyed some funny games, and received more wonderful gifts for Sarah Ann! Thank you to all of our friends and Nanny and Pops for sharing in this time with us!!! Only a few more weeks to go!!!

Here are a couple of pictures…
