Playing the waiting game!

Sorry its been so long since the last update but here goes. So the big day is this week and looks like he is waiting around for that. My last couple of visits to the doctor have basically been about the same. Still 70% effaced and 1.5cm dilated. I was hoping when I went this past Thursday, the news would be a little better but looks like he's really happy in there and not quite ready for his debut. Maybe he's waiting around to be a turkey baby! So we go back to the doctor on Tuesday and let's pray that something has changed. We're so anxious and can't wait to meet him. We'll keep you updated after our appointment on Tuesday and hopefully we'll have a baby this week! Everyone cross your fingers and say your prayers!

We're ready for Evan!

This past weekend Jimmy went camping and the family and I worked on getting the nursery ready. My dad and Jimmy's dad put all the furniture together and us women thought we could handle the stroller, pack-n-play and all the other gadgets. Needless to say, we were wrong. I know Graco is a great product but wow is it hard to put together. I think they had the crib and changing table together in like 2 hours and we were still working on the pack-n-play. With all that said we finished and its ready for Evan. We also decorated the nursery and it looks so good, however it's not quite done but will be by the end of the week hopefully. My friend Anna made the crib bedding and it is absolutely beautiful! She is so talented and we were so lucky to have her do that for us. I can't wait for Evan to see it! That's all for now, I'll update again after my doctor appointment tomorrow. For now enjoy the pics of the nursery!

Landen is finally here! :)

Well little Miss Landen Elyse White finally decided she was ready for the world on Sunday October 26th at 11:28am. She weighed 6 lbs. 12 ounces and is so cute! Mommy, Daddy and baby are doing just fine. She came home today and everyone is catching up on some much needed rest. Here are some pics of the little bundle of joy:

Evan's almost here! :)

Well, we're almost there and we can't wait! The last few weeks have been a little crazy trying to get everything ready and prepared. Since my last post, I had a shower in LA with all of my favorite girls! It was so good to get together and see everyone and reminisce on old times. I love seeing everyones children, they are all growing up so fast. I can't wait until Evan gets to play with all the kids! My friend Anna made all of the crib bedding and it looks awesome! We will be setting up the nursery this weekend and I can't wait! I'll post pics real soon after that gets completed.

We also took a breastfeeding class to prepare us as much as possible for that. It was a lot of fun and we learned a lot. Hope it all goes well once he gets here. We're working on completing the birthing class right now too. So hopefully, we'll be as prepared as we can be when it all happens!

We're still waiting on Landen to get here as well! I know Jennifer and Justin can't wait! I know we can't! Hopefully we'll get to see her real soon.

I've been to the doctor twice since my last post and everything is still right on schedule. The doc says Evan weighs close to 5 lbs already so he's going to be a big boy! I really can't complain about the pregnancy, so far everything has gone so well and I've felt so good. Everyone pray it continues to be that way over the next few weeks.

Here are some pics from the LA shower and some of me and Aunt Carly. She and Aunt Laura just celebrated their birthdays this past week! Oh yeah, Jimmy and I are celebrating our 4th anniversary this week! We can't believe its been 4 years and we couldn't be more blessed! Enjoy and I'll update real soon.

33 1/2 weeks....Not that we're counting or anything!

Sorry its been so long since the last post but we've been a little busy. Little Evan is doing well according to the doctors and mommy is growing by the day. I had a shower for work last Sunday at California Dreaming and we had a ball. Just the girls from work got together and we ate and opened gifts. Our spare bedroom which is soon to be Evan's room is getting really full! I'm starting to wonder where in the world all this stuff is going to go. Jimmy and I have both been so blessed with wonderful family and friends. We thank god everyday for all the many blessings. So our first addition to our group of friends is almost here and we can't wait to meet her. Jennifer and Justin are expecting a little girl, Landen Elyse White, and we can't wait for her and Evan to grow up together. They'll be about a month apart so lets hope they get along with each other! I'm sure they will! :) Here's a pic of Mommy's growing belly!

30 weeks today...only 10 to go!

It's so hard to believe we only have 10 weeks left. Time is flying by for us. We had our 1st baby shower this weekend and where else but at the Carolina Game! Everyone knows we are die hard Gamecocks and this proves it. I want to thank all of our wonderful friends that hosted the shower, Jimmy and I are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends. We got some great stuff for little Evan and we can't wait to put it to use. Evan's Uncle Wahoo made him his 1st golf club and boy was Daddy excited about that. We also got lots of Gamecock gear for Evan. The 1st he has gotten if you can believe that! Yes, I held off buying any Gamecock stuff and I can't even believe I did it. Check out the pics from the shower below!

The beginning of my 3rd trimester and Gamecock Football!

Sorry I'm a little late with my next post but things have been busy. I can't believe I'm in my 3rd trimester already....only 11 weeks to go! Not a whole lot has changed except that I turned 30 on August 30th! Wow, I'm getting old! My motto is your only as old as you feel, so I still feel like I'm 21 so I'll go with that! :) Evan had his first of many trips to a Carolina game 2 weekends ago! We all had a great time and he enjoyed the noise and band because he was kicking like crazy the entire game! Maybe we have a future Gamecock football player in the making! I start going to the doctor every 2 weeks now, so we'll keep everyone updated as often as possible! Here are some pics from the first football game! Go Cocks!
