Baby Shower Pics

This past Saturday, my church family hosted a baby shower for me. We had a great time and I received a bunch of the sweetest little things for Baby "C".
Cutting the cowboy cake. :)

Reading a card from my parents. They weren't able to come down for the shower, but they did send some gifts.

Isn't it cute??

Adorable!

Aww! A cowboy outfit!

A bathtub.

Cowboy blankets our pastor's wife made.

Another sweet outfit.

Diapers! Thanks to shower gifts, samples, sales, and coupons, I now have about 923 diapers stored up for Baby "C" :)

A Pack and Play....perfect for traveling!

My mother-in-law and sister-in-laws.

Dad and Mom bought the rocking chair for us and it matches the nursery furniture perfectly!

All the sweet little outfits....can't wait to dress him up in them! :)

34 Days To Go

Yes, it's getting soooooooooo close, but I still can't help asking Baby "C" every once in awhile, "When are you going to come??" :)

My ultrasound last week showed that the baby is measuring big and according to their calculations, he's already over 6 lbs. Hmmmmmm......we just may have a little butterball on our hands. :)

As far as my condition goes, I feel great. No aches, pains, etc. at the moment. However, I do have a hard time sleeping at times, but I reckon that's just "training" for the night time feedings to come. :)

Lord willing this Saturday ( 6th ), my church will be hosting a baby shower for us. I'm sure it will be a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to it. I just wish that my mom and sisters could be there too. :(

All for now! Continue to keep us in your prayers!

With Hubby and I saving up for a new digital camera, I've been trying extra hard to stay within a weekly grocery budget. Thankfully, I've been able to meet my goal the past two weeks. :)

Hello, World!

This once or twice a week blogging has most of ya'll bored I'm sure. The truth is, it probably won't get much better these next few weeks because after all, I'm 33 1/2 weeks pregnant and have other things on my mind. I really wish I could do better, but I seem to have lost the "touch". However, I'm sure a new baby and motherhood will bring plenty to blog about IF I make the time to do so........

Pregnancy has continued to treat me well so far ( Thank You Lord! ), but I have to admit that I'm nearing the point of wanting to have this baby NOW. :) At my Dr.'s visit yesterday, they said that I have been measuring above average the last two visits. Because of that, I'm scheduled to have an ultrasound next week to check the baby's size.

Christopher and I continue to stay busy with some lawn maintenance work, household chores, getting things ready for the baby, church activities, etc. We've also been researching and shopping around for a new digital camera that we HOPE to purchase before Baby "C" arrives.

All the news for now! Thank you all once again for your continued prayers for me and this pregnancy......I KNOW it's really made a difference!

A Trip to the Varsity

For lunch yesterday, Hubby took me to down town Atlanta to eat at the famous restaurant, "The Varsity". From what I've read, this is the largest drive-in restaurant in the world.

It was started 81 years ago and has since then added 4-5 more locations here in GA. Presidents have eaten here, politicians have eaten here and other famous folks have eaten here as well.

The ordering counter is quite large and there are plenty of employees to make sure your wait isn't very long. The dine-in area is also quite large and can seat over 800 people.

Christopher had a couple of burgers, some fries and a hot dog.

I had a cheeseburger and a chocolate ice cream cone.
The view from our table overlooked the drive-in area. Across the street you can see more of down town Atlanta and to the right you can see some of the GA Tech buildings and stadium. On a football game day, the Varsity drive-in serves around 30,000 people. After we had eaten, we spent an hour or so driving around looking at all the tall buildings and sights.

Thank you, Dear for a wonderful lunch date!! :)
