Winter Storm

We survived the winter storm that passed through last night! It was a combination of sleet/ice and snow which is going to make it very difficult for Jason to shovel the driveway... The road transportation crews actually urged people to stay home from work today because the roads were so bad this morning.

The snow is very pretty to look at and we are definitely in the Christmas Spirit.
I can't wait for my family to get here so they can enjoy a White Christmas!!

Baby Update:: Emma will be here soon and we are so excited to see her!!
I will post pictures as soon as possible!!

PS...I'm getting very nervous!!

Getting Close to Our Due Date

With less than two weeks to go we are getting very anxious!!
We installed the car seat today and I have Emma's diaper bag packed.
I got the cutest dress for her to wear in the hospital pictures (they have a professional photographer that takes newborn/family pics in the hospital) and I got her the cutest outfit to wear home. I am almost finished with our hospital bag-I hope to finish this tomorrow so we can put it in the back of the car.

I am now officially 38 weeks according to my doctor...(long story short about my due date--I think I'm due on Dec 24th but my doctor says Dec 28th)
I will see the doctor on Wednesday (I go every week now) and we are going to discuss the due date issue then.

I hope you are all doing well and we hope to have Baby Emma very soon!!

Pregnancy Photos

The Pregnancy Photos

Soooo....I couldn't figure out how to add a message to the blog with the photo slideshow.

These are a couple of the pictures we had taken in November while visiting Savannah.
They were taken by a good friend of mine--Nichole Barrali (www.nicholebarraliphotography.com) We had a great time taking these photos and do realize that if/when we have more children we will have to do this again.
Let us know what you think about the photos!!

I hope this message finds you all doing well.

Christmas Decorations

We have our Christmas Tree up and decorated. We have also decorated the outside of the house. With a couple weeks left, I have almost finished my Christmas shopping. I am looking forward to the family coming up for Christmas and we are definitely excited to meet Miss Emma Jane!! She has been very active and it feels like she is trying to kick her way out of the side of my stomach. I hope you enjoy the pictures. We got about 3 more inches of snow last night so I believe the snow in the yard is here to stay-it's very pretty to look at and gets us in the Christmas spirit.

Thanksgiving dinner

Our Thanksgiving Dinner was amazing. It took Jason and I about 2 hours to get everything cooked and ready but it was worth the waiting!!

Baby Update:: Everything is going well and we have about 3 weeks left. We toured the labor and delivery wing at the hospital-this was comforting and nerve racking at the same time. The hospital is well known for it's labor and delivery department and they are top of the line in neonatal care. It kind of made us nervous to be standing in the delivery room-to know we will be occupying that room within a couple weeks. I had a doctors appt yesterday-baby's heart rate is good-I will be seeing the doctor every week until we deliver from here on out.
