11 months and less than 30 days

Thursday marked our 11 month anniversary and wow has the time flown. It is rather funny because it feels like we got married yesterday and then it feels like we have always been married. It has been fun learning about each other and our good and bad habits. I was asked on Thursday what the best and worst thing about being married was. I thought about it and the best would have to be that I married my best friend.
We have so much fun together, but we can really talk, we can be ourselves and love each other for who we are. I know him so well and I love it. The worst thing would be well it is not bad, just hardest thing... Jason is an inside the box kind of person, and well...I am anything but. We have had a good year finding a meeting place combining the two. He takes a few steps outside and I take a few steps toward the box. It has been such a blessed 11 months and I look forward to the next 50 years.

Now the count down is on. Our little girl is due in less than 30 days. Wow that time has flown. I have had a really good pregnancy, and enjoyed almost all of it. I love feeling her move and when Jason talks to her she will kick and kick. She gets hiccups every few days, but I just laugh. It is a little more difficult when she gets them as I am trying to go to sleep, but I love it. I have gained 18 1!/2 pounds so far and have not really swelled very much. Thankfully. I am ready to hold her, but I am a little sad, because this has been so much fun. Well she will be here before we know it. I will try to post updated nursery pictures soon.

Harpeth Hills Shower

Sunday afternoon Jason and I were blessed to have another church shower. We met at Harpeth Hills almost 2 1/2 years ago, got married here almost a 10 1/2 months ago and are thrilled we are going to be able to raise our family here. A few ladies threw us a baby shower and it was so nice. Two showers in two weekends, I am so overwhelmed, blessed, and humbled. Our little girl is already so spoiled. It was great to be able to share it with my Mom and a friend from Southside, Kim Wheeler. Thank you Harpeth Hills for all your love.

Southside Shower

Yesterday was my first baby shower. My church family in Kentucky threw me a baby shower and it was so wonderful. I was able to see so many people and we were so blessed. I thought the gifts would never end. When Jason came to load up, he was shocked. We filled the 4runner up and still had to leave some things with my parents.
Southside has so many wonderful people. They all mean so much to me and I can't wait for our little girl to meet them all. Thank you for a great day. We are so loved.






























Where are we going to put it all?

Wonderful Brother and 31 week pic

I must take a second and brag on my younger brother. Yesterday after I got back from the gym, there was a knock on the door. I went to the door and there was a man delivedring flowers. I thought... he must have the wrong house. Nope, they were for me. I was so confused. I signed for them went in the house and riped the card open, they were from my brother. He is in grad school in St. Augustine and is missing the day to day expanding me, lucky him. The card was so sweet. He said he loved me and was proud of me. Awww what a sweet guy, and way to make a pregnant woman cry. Adam is so nice. I am so blessed to have him in my life. We have a great relationship, and I can't wait for our little girl to be able to spend time with her Uncle. Thank you Adam. The flowers are wonderful.













Here is a picture of the belly at 31 weeks

30 weeks- 10 to go

This is a little late, but we took this picture at 30weeks. I have gained 11 lbs. so far, so I am pretty happy. She is active almost all day, but really gets to moving when Jason reads to her at night. She has a personality already and wans her own space. If I rest my had on my belly, she will start kicking until I move it. We are having such a wonderful time. I feel really good. It is getting a little more difficult to get up the stairs or bend over to pick something up off the floor. Other than that it has been great. Enjoy the pictures of me getting HUGE!

2007-2008 Symphony Season Opens

Friday, September 28th began the new season for the Nashville Symphony. We had a wonderful evening.
William Schuman - Credendum - Article of Faith
Tchaikovsky - Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture
Beethoven - Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67

During the firs number the baby was rather still. During Tchaikovsky, she moved a little. Then Thank Goodness for an intermission. Wow, how tiny your bladder becomes when a child is sitting on it.
After intermission was Beethoven Fifth. It was about 35 min and she kicked and moved the entire time. We just smiled. It was a wonderful time. I hope to be able to go to one or two more performances before our little girl is born.
