I had such a good time in Atlanta this past weekend!! Saturday was Nai's shower (she and I are due on the same day). She looks adorable pregnant...she's so petite and all belly. It was great as the shower was held at Aunt Glenndolyn and Uncle Donnie's house, so I got to see both of them as well as visit with Scott for a bit. The shower was beautiful.
My shower was Sunday...amazing. The girls did such a wonderful job hosting it. The hostesses were Veleta Greer, Staci Felt, Courtney Smith, and Jana Warren. Everything was "baby bird" themed. There were paper birds, cupcakes with "bird eggs" on them...even peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in the shape of a bird (I think that was my favorite). The whole thing was just wonderful....I couldn't have asked for more. I was surrounded by so many friends and some family and felt very loved. I just wish it all didn't fly by so quickly...its so tough to catch up with everyone in such a short time.
After the shower, Mom and Steve drove me back to Nashville with all of the gifts...we barely got them all in the car...what an adventure! I know that Mom enjoyed the shower, too..she's going to be a fun Grandma!! Steve is on the mend from his surgery. He has a good bit of discomfort (and who wouldn't with such a major surgery?), but seems to be handling it ok. The healing will just take time. Mom and I dragged him to Joann's to pick out dust ruffle fabric...I'm sure he was thrilled about that! Ha! We got all of the gifts put away for the most part and started washing EVERYTHING baby related. This is gonna be one clean little girl!!
Here are some pics from the shower:

32 Weeks
I'm now at 32 weeks and I'm in Atlanta for my first baby shower!! I can't believe how the time has flown by! I've always heard people say that their kids grow up so fast, and if this pregnancy going by fast is any indication I think I'm starting to get it. The shower will be at Allen and Therese's house, and it's hosted by Veleta, Staci, Jana and Courtney. It's a pretty special time for me with all of my longtime friends coming together.
We had a doctor visit with a new doctor this past week...Woodall...we liked her. Everything looks good with the baby...heartbeat was 143 and the measurements of my belly looked good as well. We've now met 3 of the 5 doctors in the practice...so far we would be ok with whichever one happens to be on call on our special night...whew!
A lot has happened in the past month...let's see...we had a little "scare" and had to go to the emergency room. It turns out that all is fine with the baby and I will have to have an outpatient surgery after our little one is born. I have a diverticulum that will have to be removed...something to look forward to, right? The upside to going to the hospital is that we got to meet another one of the doctors....Osburn. She was great, and we saw how their "system" works there. Todd and I were very impressed with the swiftness and urgency that they had when we arrived at the hospital...what a relief to have one less worry when our time comes to head up there to deliver.
Also, Steve had surgery to remove a tumor from his lung a couple of weeks ago...whew! He's got a road to recovery, but seems to be doing ok right now. It was major surgery, but thank goodness he has nurse Beverly to take care of him...she's the best, you know.
Todd had a couple of shows in Dallas, so our little tadpole made her first trip to Texas...no boots yet...the shows went very well. I was able to visit with Tina for a couple of days as we stayed at her house while there. We also made a trip to Virginia this month. I sat in a tree stand for the first time. Yes, there is nothing sexier than a 7 month pregnant girl in a tree stand...oh good times. I didn't have much luck getting very high in the tree though....who knew I had NO abdominal muscles AT ALL right now!? Pretty sad. It was kind of neat to see Todd in his "element" though. We didn't see any wildlife to speak of this time, but the experience was a good one. We'll be returning to Virginia for Thanksgiving if the doctors give me the ok to travel at that late time in the pregnancy, but don't count on me hopping in anymore tree stands!!!
