I new I would be horrible at keeping up on this.
I just wanted to share some pictures from our baby shower on Saturday. (scroll down) It was given to us by Chris and April Free who are like family to us out here. Our guests were all from the Falkville Police Dept.
We received some really great gifts! We definately will use everything that was given to us and feel blessed to have such great support. The Free family, the mayor of Falkville, and a couple ladies that work at town hall pitched in together and got us a new Crib!!!
Happy Mother's Day Week
Happy Mother's Day week to all the mothers out there. I'll soon be joining the club.
I've had more and more people ask about the pregnancy so I think I'll address it today.
My body loves being pregnant. It's corrected a lot of issues that I've dealt with over the years. I've heard over and over that I was lucky not to have morning sickness. I think of it this way... I think God knew I needed some time off from throwing up and feeling horrible. I haven't had to deal with any of that since being pregnant, and I'm certainly hoping it doesn't come back after I give birth! Of course I was tired during the 1st trimester, and during the 2nd trimester I felt like I could run a marathon, I've never felt better. I'm just into my 3rd a few weeks and still feel pretty good. I think I'll sum it up like this...
Things I love about being pregnant...
Finally- having a big belly is beautiful.
I feel better than I have over the last few years.
I always have the excuse, "I can't lift that I'm pregnant"
Taking an afternoon nap is ok.
Things I don't love so much about being pregnant...
Get out of my way I gotta pee!
Do I look like Buddha to you? Quit rubbing my belly!
Questions and advice are ok to a point, and then not so much.
Do you smell that?
Chris and I are so excited for our baby girl. We have been told countless times that it would be nearly impossible to get pregnant, so every day I learn to enjoy something new about being pregnant and am enjoying my time.
I have to give Congratulations to Monica and Sonny! Beginning a new foundation for disabled children with Mona Vie. Over 100+ documented cases from physicians and families that this juice has reduced medical bills by helping these children with issues ranging from respiratory to neurological recovery and will now be covered by medicaid in the state of Florida!!! I admire Monica's constant fight for her son from the day he was born. She knew he deserved a better life, and that no one including our legislation would tell her that he was not worth keeping. His life matters! It has made a difference in so many people's lives. Including mine- I truly believe I would never have been able to experience my pregnancy miracle if they hadn't reached out to me. Congratulations and good luck!

Happy Birthday to me today! 28 years- seems like time flies by and yet stands still. Chris is gone to an EMS conference today in Florida. Yeah- gotta hate the paid trip to a condo at the beach. Too bad I couldn't go with him. I had to take Saint to the Vet today and deplete our savings account for absolutely no information. I almost just asked how much pink juice cost, but I just love the stinker too much.
We had a new couple from the ward over for dinner last night. They moved in just around the corner from us, so now they think we are their new best friends. Which is fine- but have you ever heard the expression too much too fast?! They are a sweet couple and am glad to have had a reason to have visitors.
My birthday plans for today? I'm being taken to lunch by some of the girls/ladies? in our ward that live here in town. Most of them are close to my age so we have alot in common, and they have been great in giving me help to get ready for baby. I also have some shopping planned for today. I'm not buying for baby today, just me. Other than that, I think I'll be at home eating some leftover birthday cake.
