Much to Celebrate!

The past two weeks have been full of wonderful blessings... on Sept. 3 we got the great news about the baby and then this past week Chase was hired on by Archer Exteriors. We are still working on the baby's room, but hopefully next weekend Chase will be able to finish it while I'm in South Carolina.

Yesterday marked the first day of the Baby Shower Season. One of my friends Erica is also expecting a little bundle of joy and I attended one of her showers... I had a wonderful time. Its hard to believe that she will be having a baby in one or two months (I'm almost one month behind her). It made me realize how much we have to do! Next weekend is my first shower in SC, and I'm already counting down the hours... I'm so excited to see everyone and hope that all of my friends and family from back home will be able to make it (if you haven't RSVP then make sure you do). Today I received one of the first baby gifts. Unfortunately Chase has to work, but I was lucky enough to be able to go to lunch with John Paul and Mindy. They will be in Las Vegas during the showers here in Alabama, but they got our little guy all kinds of wonderful gifts (the cutest little outfits, diapers, baby stuff, etc).

Chase and I feel so very fortunate that we have such wonderful family and friends... thank you all so much for everything!!

Sept 3 - Great NEWS!

Sept. 3, 2009
I wanted to thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. I know many of you have been following the blog and know that we had to go see a specialist for the baby. This past Monday, I went in for the monthly check up and passed the glucose test with flying colors. We are down to go in the day after Thanksgiving (our little guy is already showing to be a big Alabama fan - as the day after Thanksgiving is Iron Bowl). Today we also had our big appointment with the specialist and everything looked great! The baby's little kidneys have healed and he is looks healthy and weights 2 pounds and 1 oz. We also received good news this morning, that our little guy has a cousin to play with when he gets here (Chase's aunt Kelly had a healthy 7lb, 4oz little boy today).
