8 months!

8 months pregnant overlooking the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway off the coast of NC


Walt and I were able to getaway for a week to the beach for a babymoon.  It was so nice and very relaxing.  We loved exploring the area together - catching waves, bike riding, and dining out.  Simply enjoying each other's company each day was wonderful too - slow mornings, meals out on the porch, late night talks, and playing games.  So thankful for his Great Uncle Buddy who let us stay at his beach house!  Can't believe that was our last trip as a family of two!  Looking fwd to Little Rev joining us next year!

7 months and counting...

Alright, we're in the home stretch of baby BOY's arrival!  A few Fridays ago marked the beginning of my 3rd trimester and we are officially in countdown mode.  


Allyson and I at their 4th of July party.  It is so much fun for me to be pregnant with my dear friend.  We're due 2 weeks apart.  Actually, I have several friends who are pregnant along side me right now and I love it.  You can imagine the never-ending baby talks.

Watching fireworks...can't believe we'll be a family of 3 soon!

3 fun stories from this past month to share regarding baby: 

1) I can now see the baby moving from the outside of my belly!  And not only is he punching and kicking these days, but he's rolling around all the time.  I am so thankful that I can feel him move...such a wonderful gift! 

2) I felt baby BOY hiccupping a few weeks ago for the first time!  It was 5:30 in the morning and all of a sudden I started feeling internal rhythmic movements and then realized I was feeling his hiccups...I laughed out loud and immediately told Walt.  I had read about that and wondered if I'd ever get to experience it, so glad that I finally did!  He has done it several more times since then.  

3) I was at my sister's house and my 5-year-old nephew looked at me then my belly and curiously asked, "He's naked, isn't he?"  Smiling, I replied, "Yep, he doesn't have any clothes on yet!"  ::cracked me up::  I can't wait for our little BOY to meet his cousins!!!

It's a...

BOY!!!! We are so thankful and happy that we're having a little boy join our family.

First gift from mama and daddy! After my doctor's appt, Walt took me to Magpies Bakery to celebrate. As we walk in, I immediately noticed their display of blue and pink onesies. Of course, it was very appropriate for us to get our little boy his first outfit so that we could remember this special day! I love how it says "Magpie's mini" on the front. (To all you Knoxvillians, their Red Velvet and Chocolate Mocha cupcakes were awesome! I'm usually not an icing type of girl. I like the cake better, but their icing was so fluffy, light and delicious. Go check'em out! )
