6 months pregnant on the Brooklyn Bridge

With Lady Liberty

I love this picture so much. So thankful for Walt and our little boy!

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! )
