Anniversary
NINE years ago today Brian and I promised to have, hold and love each other forever. I cannot believe I'm old enough to have been married this long nor can I believe he has stuck with me this long! Brian, you're very patient, kind and loving. I am so grateful for the last 9 years we've been married, and cannot believe we've known each other for 13 years - wow! Thank you so much for taking care of me, loving me through all of my eccentricities, loving the Lord and keeping us focused on what is important. Through this pregnancy, you've been very protecting, kind and nourishing to me in every way I've needed. Thank you! I'm looking forward to the birth of our son and a new, huge chapter in our lives. Praise the Lord for such a wonderful husband and marriage!

38 Weeks, 2 days
As you'll see, this baby is growing like a weed! I can't imagine getting much bigger but I guess I have about a week and a half until baby Troy's due date - hoping he comes within a week (before or after) of that date!
Oh, and for your entertainment.....Yes, that's ME! I am the redneck-looking 38 week along pregnant woman in my neighborhood cutting the grass! I love yard work and figure that as long as I feel okay, I'll keep up with what I've been doing. Uh, I'm sure the neighbors are thinking either I'm crazy or Brian is for letting me cut the grass. HA! Laugh away - I don't care! For this reason, Troy will probably be embarrassed by me one day. Sorry son!
On another note - the Christening gown is just about finished. Just a few finishing touches but I'm not going to post anything until it's completely finished. My mother is going to do a little shadow work on it, then I'll have to wash it. So, I won't be posting the final product for a few months. How random is it that I love to sew and do yard work? They don't sound like they go together - oh well, at least it's what I like!

Auburn Baby Shower
So Troy received a sweet baby shower about a week and a half ago from my good friends in Auburn. Thanks so much ladies for a wonderful time!!! We were honored to have most of the ladies from my and Brian's families come and it was so nice! Troy is one lucky boy - and he's not EVEN here yet! Below are a few photos from the shower. Yep, I'm late at posting them, of course. But, we did have a wonderful time. I tell you what, this little boy is SET UP! We're pretty much ready for him to be here other than a little more incubation time. I think he's very comfy in his surroundings and I'm not complaining a bit - he can stay there for a few more weeks as far as I'm concerned - all we are praying for is a healthy, happy baby who will hopefully be coming into this world in less than 6 weeks...hopefully because that'll mean he's late than what we expect....how exciting!
