Atlanta Baby Shower - July 18, 2009

Jennifer Sineway, Jennifer Trapani, and Sara Yawn hosted a baby shower for me in Atlanta. They did an amazing job!!! (Check out that diaper cake they made!) The food was yummy and I got to catch up with all my Atlanta-area friends and family. Hannah received lots of great gifts including her activity mat and vibrating seat, monogrammed diaper and backpack, and the chandelier for her nursery! Thanks so much to all who came and especially to the beautiful hostesses that made it so special. I love y'all!

10, 9.........Let the countdown begin!

Things are moving on along. And Hannah is growing big and strong (trust me). We just went for a checkup and had another ultrasound. Hannah weighs 3lb8oz and constantly amazes people with how much she moves around in there. During our sonogram, she had one foot up by her head. She is right on track and we are 31 weeks tomorrow! Everybody keeps telling us that she's not going to stay in there for 9 more weeks, but we'll see! She seems content to just kick and punch. Her daddy talks to her all the time and we think she really recognizes his voice. If we want her to move for somebody, all it takes is some coaching from Daddy! Mama is doing well. Backpain is my biggest complaint. I crave a massage every night.

Tomorrow we leave Jesup for 3 long weeks away from home. Joe will be in Kentucky for seminary for two weeks (working on his DMin). I will be with him for the first week. And then we will go to our family reunion at Carolina Beach. That, we are looking forward to! More to come soon...

We are 2/3 of the way there!!!

It is hard to believe that we are in the 3rd trimester! Joe and I have been really busy the last month, and I have been really slack updating the blog! Joe was gone most of May with Navy stuff and this first half of June we have been out of town a bunch. This past week we were in Columbus for annual conference, then on Lake Martin visiting Joe and Jenny Luttrell and the girls (Kitty and Sarah too), and then in Jacksonville where I went with Joe to drill. We had a special date night on Friday having dinner at Maggiano's.

Hannah is doing well. She is a very active little girl! I feel her kick and punch and dance around quite a bit. She especially likes to move around 11 at night when we are lying in bed. Joe has gotten to feel her quite a bit. Her kicks are definitely getting stronger, but I love it!!!

23 weeks!

Family Time

After Joe spent the week in Camp LeJeune, NC, we met in Savannah for some time with family. For Mother's Day I got a bunch of sweet cards. Ben and Will gave me Hannah's crib bedding! I was so surprised and excited. Mama gave me a pretty dress and prenatal massages. Oh boy, I can't wait for those!!! Once Joe finishes his Navy duties this month, we can get to work in the nursery.

Hannah is as active as ever - practicing her yoga poses. I'm so proud!
