The Search For The Perfect Nursery






Ok ladies, it is time to help me pick the perfect bedding for my little girl's nursery. This bedding is from a shop in Mobile. Thanks to my friends at school for all the help with great bedding websites. Comment on my bedding and let me know your pick.

It's A Girl!

Let's recap the past four months. In October we were told that we were pregnant. They also told us we were having twins. Then in November they told us we were having one baby. In December they told us we were having a precious little boy. In January they told us we were having a precious little girl. So, I told them I wasn't coming back in February! Our latest surprise is a girl! Ok, we are just trying to let it all sink in. We are just thankful for our healthy baby.

18 weeks and Lovin It!

I am 18 weeks pregnant today! Being pregnant is the most wonderful and amazing experience.Everyone that knows me well knows I am not a morning person. I like to stay in bed and relax before I jump up and start my day.Friday, January 13th I felt the baby move for the very first time. Words cannot express how excited, emotional, and amazed we were.I was laying in bed relaxing before getting up for school. Well, the show just got more exciting when we traveled to the beach for a holiday.The baby loved the feeling of the warm sun on the beach and turned flips Sunday. I got some must needed rest and exercise on the beach. The weather was amazing and warm. Our family and friends had such a great weekend. Jason got to spend time with his buddies from FSU and the girls relaxed on the beach, shopped, and ate amazing food.(Pictures are on the way.) Women who are pregnant can relate. I was all about the food! I discovered a craving for Doritos Blazing Buffalo Ranch chips and strawberry poptarts!I have my next US appt.on Monday, Jan.17th. I am so excited! I haven't seen our baby in 4 weeks. Enjoy your holiday!

Love,
Christie

Christmas 2010-Family Surprise


This Christmas was very special for both families. Jason and I gave recordable Christmas cards announcing to our families that we are have a little boy in June. Both families were so excited! We received so many wonderful gifts this holiday season. We are most thankful for our families and the most precious gift, the gift of being pregnant with our first child. These are pictures of Christmas with both our families. For couples that have struggled with infertility, you truly understand that when you finally become pregnant you cherish each moment of the arrival of your new baby. Every Christmas I would wonder will this New Year be the year we will become parents. Of course, I have cried most of the holidays. These are happy tears. I have cried during holiday meals with our families dreaming of the day when our new bundle of joy would be at the table with us. I have cried as friends and family have given me baby gifts for next Christmas. I cried as I thought about the family photos that had all the grandchildren with Santa except for mine. These moments are moments when trying to have a baby that can be unbearable and times that it seems no one else understands. I hope one day our little boy can read my post and realize how much he was dreamed about and loved! There are a few photos of me and Jason that show some belly shots. Believe me there want be a lot of pictures of me this year on my blog especially of my belly! God is so good!
