29 Weeks - First Baby Shower

Here is a picture of my bff and I at my first shower. I am 29 weeks and she is 24...

My first shower was 9/12/09 at my aunt's house in Ridgeland. It was given by both of my mom's sisters, my cousins and a close family friend! We had a blast! Good food and good company! Finally the nursery is starting to look like a nursery. So excited!

The hostesses:

My cousin Leslie, Lessa, Aunt Fly, me, Aunt Kim and my cousin Karen

I am loving the dresser (given to us by my dad), the lamps and the wash cloth cake!

The announcement hanging in the window was given to us by my step sister and step sister-in-law! Too cute! So proud of it! TJ's mom gave us the bouncy seat and my mom gave us the floor playmat. My mom is making our bedding! Pictures to come next week, hopefully!

I am still so proud of the walls! Props go to my wonderful hubby!

24 Weeks!!

Just a snap shot! I keep loosing track of the weeks!

It's a BOY!!

We found out about 5 or so weeks ago that we are having a little BOY! BWM are his initials! We are loving that we can finally start buying little stuff here and there! Here is a picture of our little miracle! We had a doctor's appointment about a week ago and he weighed 1 pound 2 ounces and 148 heart beats a minute! The doctor said that everything looked good! I have my glucose screening at my next appointment! Fun fun! B and K (our good friends from AR) find out what they are having on Wednesday! We are so excited for them! Just wanted to give a everyone a little update!

22 weeks!

Here is a little pic of me at 22 weeks!

It has started!

I am trying to keep up with some foods that I like to eat more than others!

My top want would be... coke freezes!! or icees... whichever we can find!!

I also like:

Sour skittles,

Starburst,

salads especially from the Japanese restaurant with the ginger dressing (YUM!),

rotel,

Oriental chicken rollup from Applebees,

Gatorade and

Captain Crunch cereal

That's all for now... but now that I think about it... some turnip greens and cornbread sure sounds good! Hah!  I am pretty sure that my appetite is coming back! YAY!

Well.. Well...

A lot has changed since I last blogged.  Stacey and I finished our photography class and I learned a whole lot about my camera!! Which is a good thing - leading to my next exciting news!

TJ and I are expecting a little bundle of joy in November!  November 23 to be exact (my dad's birthday)!  We have heard the heartbeat twice and the doctor says everything looks good.  We got back on Friday to find out if it's a boy or a girl!  We can't wait!  I am not sure if it's because we are finding out or.. if it's because this will be our first sonogram!  We are ready to see our miracle and get pictures!  

Other news:  TJ finished the nursery last week!  I am so excited!  I saw a picture of a nursery that I really like and so I have been begging TJ to paint me brown and white stripes... He said he will never do that again!  Hah!  It looks wonderful!  Below are some pictures!

Excited!!

Well... I guess you can say now that I am pursuing my photography interest.  A friend from work and I are going to take a photography 101 class at Holmes starting in April!  I am excited!  I have always said that I wanted to take a class or something and I am so glad that I have someone who has the same interest that sits right across from me!  She is the one who found it and honestly.. I didn't even think about Holmes having a class... I am glad she did!  I think the first class is mainly to get acquainted with your camera.. which I definitely need because since I got my new camera, I know nothing about it :o(.  Then from there... we will go to sites and use what we learned!  YAY!

We had Alison's bachelorette party this weekend and we had a blast!  A lot of good food, fun and a bunch of laughs!! Alison's sister, Lindsay cracked me up trying on Alison's little body suit!! HAHA!! Too funny!

This coming weekend.. we have a Couples shower for the happy couple... then the next is their wedding!  YAY!  

There are a lot of exciting things happening in the months of March and April.

Mrs. Rhonda's birthday, my birthday, Robert and Alison's wedding, becoming an aunt again!, taking my photography class.. I can just go on and on!  Can't wait to us my newly learned photography tips on my nephew!!

Will write more later!
