Cravings: Lots of chocolate and sweets! :-)

What I'm looking forward to: Getting Cade’s room finished and seeing his bedding finished.

I went to see Dr. G last week, which started my every two week appointments. Eden went with me and did so well. She acted so grown up and sat in her chair while I sat on the exam table. When it was time to be examined the doctor pulled a curtain around her and told her it was for princesses. She sat their like a big girl, but kept asking me what are you doing momma? My constant reply was getting an exam. I’ll be done soon. The doctor and the nurse just laughed. After the exam the doctor took Eden to get a sucker. I was so proud of her behavior, we went to Chick-fi-la and got an ice cream and then she spent time playing on the play ground.

My next appointment is October 7th the day before my 25th birthday. I’ll be 37 weeks. I can’t wait to see if I’ve made any progress.


Baby Cade's Shower

Sunday afternoon, some ladies from church hosted a precious baby shower for Cade and me. It was SO cute! My parents and one of my best friends Hannah were able to come down and join in the shower fun. It was so nice to visit with them this past weekend.

Right before the shower we took some pictures of Eden. She didn’t attend the shower with us, although I wanted her to. It wasn’t quite fair to her, for us to keep her from her nap time. She definitely needed to get some rest after a long and fun Saturday afternoon in Shreveport the previous night.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures of our sweet little girl





I love this one of her and I. She truly melts my heart!


We are going with a western theme for Cade's room. So they did a precious western themed cake.



I just wanted to say how blessed I am, to have such wonderful Christian ladies who care about others. Our family is very gracious to everyone for the wonderful shower and gifts. Each and every one of you are great blessings. Especially the one’s who couldn’t make it. Your thoughts and encouraging words are all we need.


Personal Wake Up Call Anyone?

Well folks the day has finally come. Eden can now open doors with no problem…
What does this mean you ask? Well, she now has the ability to give us an, “in person” wake up call. No more “mommmmyyyy or dadddyyy where are you” over the monitor.

10/16/2010 marks the first day Eden came to my side of the bed and said mommy, mommy, mommy, wake up-wake up! All Andrew and I could do was laugh! I forgot to mention she managed to get her rain boots on to make a grand entrance. Oh Yes! HA!
I tried to take a picture of her in her beautiful pajama and rain boot attire, but she insisted we put her princess dress on first. I tell yeah, she is just growing up way to fast!

So let me introduce you to Princess Eden, because princesses are all we can talk about these days.
