Drake Moving Around!

Last night I was able to get Drake moving around (and kicking) a little bit on camera!! He always stops moving when I tell Luke to "LOOK!" So, I was excited to catch some movement on camera so he could see what I was talking about. These are very quick movements...so watch carefully!! It amazes me everytime he moves in my belly. It's the coolest thing I've ever experienced. At my last Dr.'s appointment (which was Monday) he said everything looked great! His heartbeat was strong and he measured just a little bigger than most babies at this point (not shocking if you know how big his daddy is). I can't wait to meet him!!! I love him so much already! ENJOY THE VIDEO!

Night at the Ballpark!

Monday night Luke had a softball game. It was a wonderful evening to sit out at the ballpark and visit with friends. I had a blast hanging out with Jessica McGinty and Elizabeth Farmer (and her two daughter, Ella & Sophie). Here are a few pictures from the evening.

This little girl cracks me up. This is Sophie. She is in Elizabeth's (her mom) lap being tickled! It's so cute!!

28 weeks!

I am now 28 weeks and 2 days pregnant! I can't believe I'm in my third trimester already! Drake will be here before we know it. I am seriously growing by the day now. I am having trouble breathing! It feels like he's sitting right on my lungs all the time. Last week I had a sinus infection AND bronchis! I thought I was going to suffacate to death!

Anyway, I don't mean to complain. This is all going to be worth it. I can't wait to meet Drake and to be his mommy!! Here are a few pictures of me taken this weekend.

Decisions, Decisions!!

Luke and I have been talking a lot lately about ways that we can downsize so that we'll have more money for the baby. We also just want to be good stewards of what God has given us.

I know a lot of people are looking for ways to downsize and not spend as much money right now. I feel ya!

One of the first things that came to both of our minds is selling one of our cars. We decided that we both LOVE Luke's truck too much to sell it. So, we are going to sell my Envoy. We are wanting to downsize to a small car. Since Luke drives over an hour everyday it makes sense to get him a small "commuter" car to drive to work. It will also help us save on gas. I am fine with driving his truck to and from work everyday. I only drive like 5 miles. So, if you are interested in a 2005 GMC Envoy let me know. It is white with upgraded leather seats. It has 34,000 miles and is in excellent condition! Here is a picture...

24 Weeks and Growing!

I am almost 24 weeks along now!!! I can't believe how fast time flies. I mean....Drake will be here in a little over 3 months!! That's not long at all! I cannot wait to hold him!! I also cannot believe how fast he has grown in just the past 2 weeks! My belly has really shot out there. ha! I have my next dr.'s appointment on Monday. It's the one where they check me for gestational diabetes. I've heard that I'll have to drink a horrible drink and then sit in the waiting room for an hour!! Doesn't sound like fun to me.This past weekend our Sunday School class had a BBQ/crawfish broil!! It was so much fun. I wish I had taken more pictures, however, here are a few of Luke and the guys eating crawfish. This is at about 9:00 p.m. They had been eating since 4:00!!!Wow! I don't know how they do it. The social was so much fun though....we need to do it more often!

22 Weeks!

Tomorrow I will be 22 weeks pregnant! Here are a few pictures of me today.

Here are a few photos of what we've done to Drake's nursery so far. Luke and I have worked so hard on the furniture. The dresser (changing table) was Luke's dresser growing up. We just painted it black and put new handles on it. I found the crib a few weeks ago at Rhea Lana's. It was such a good deal I could not pass it up. We had to sand it down and paint it black too. We are going to paint and recover the glider as well. Also, Luke made a bookcase yesterday for baby Drake. It looks so good! We are having a great time working on these projects together. We are so excited about getting our little man's room ready for his arrival.
I am going to finish this post with a THANK YOU to AMBER BOHANNAN! She has given me so many little things lately for me and Drake. Last week she gave me two onsies, a pregnancy shirt (it says, "Body by Baby") , a razorback shirt, and a razorback hat. PRECIOUS! Then...Sunday she gave me some socks that are TOO CUTE!! I can't hardly stand it they're so cute! Here is a picture of them. Thanks Amber! You are such a wonderful friend to me!
