Eastern Shore Baby Shower

My sweet friends hosted my first baby shower. My counterpart, Lori Menefee, hosted the shower at her home, and she did an awesome job with the brunch. She is a great cook! Two other good friends, Jennifer and Angela, also helped with the party. Jennifer and Christy came a long way (Birmingham) to attend, and I was really glad to see them. Thank you to all my friends for coming and for all the great gifts. Anna Todd is going to look precious in all her new clothes. Thank you to all my friends in Daphne and Fairhope!

TAGGED!

Lindsay and Joni

This is a picture taken from our tailgate at the Mississippi State/Auburn football game....I mean baseball game or was it hockey? Anyway the Bulldogs lost 3-2 and it was one of the most painful games I ever sat through. Lindsay is my best friend from high school and she is in the picture with me. We had so much fun spending the weekend together. The only bad part was that it was still my first trimester and I felt nauseated most of the game!

I was tagged in the picture game. The object of the picture tag is to
1) Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer.
2) Select the 4th picture in the folder.
3) Explain the picture.
4) Tag 4 people to do the same. no cheating (cropping, editing, etc.) Have fun!!!
I tag:

Happy New Year

Todd and I had a New Year's Eve party at our house this year. With 3 pregnant women in attendance and a 2 week old , Miss Caroline, it was a very calm night. We attempted to watch the ball drop in downtown Fairhope, but it was wayyyyyy too cold! Thanks to all our friends for coming over! It was fun ringing in 2009 with all of you!

Christmas Day

We had a great Christmas in Fairhope. My parents and Katlan came to our house for a couple of days. It was so nice to have 2 weeks off and get to stay home to enjoy it!

Sunday School Christmas Party

We have the best Sunday School class ever!!! They have all been such a blessing to Todd and I. Thanks to Judy and Pastor Tim for hosting our party at their house and for all the yummy food. Congrats to Stephen for winning the "Santa Claus" dress up competition! (Even though the guys cheated.) And Billy, I will never forget "Five Gold Rings." I still laugh when I think about it! What a memorable night!

Anna Todd's First Photo Session!!!

We had our 4D ultrasound today, and I highly recommend all my prego friends to fork out the money to get one. Todd couldn't be there because he is in Cape Cod visiting his family. We got 80 pictures on CD and a DVD of the entire session so he will get to see everything I saw.

I was warned that these ultrasounds are baby dependent...meaning if the baby is not cooperative you don't get good pictures. Well I am happy to report that Anna Todd LOVES the camera! She was posing and moving so good. Folks, we may have a model in the making!!! I was so pleased with pictures. I think she already has Todd's feet because Deidre (the ultrasound tech)said her feet are big! Anna Todd still has her legs crossed...Deidre said she is a modest little thing. At the end of out time she put her hand above her forehead as to say "No more pictures." I guess she is anticiapting the paparazzi...or maybe just her mother with a new camera!

Captiva Island 2008

Todd and I went on our last vacation before Anna Todd is born (yes, we finalized the name!) We had the best time laying on the beach, watching the most beautiful sunsets, and visiting a wildlife refuge. I think Todd's favorite part was seashelling...yes, Captiva Island is the seashell capital of the US! We brought back so many seashells that the x-ray police at the airport asked me if I left any seashells on the beach! It was so funny! My favorite part was relaxation, but I was still up an hour every night because that is what pregnancy has done to me. I wake up every night around 3 am and cannot go back to sleep for atleast an hour! "They" say this is God's way of preparing us for when Anna Todd gets here....I say it's a cruel joke!
