The million dollar question

Sophia is still happy where she is at for now. She has sent me to the hospital twice now, but I have been back with no baby :( I am starting to get very very anxious to meet her,and can't wait to hold her. I daydream a lot about what she will look like, how she will act, and how amazing it will be to have her in between Gabe and I during nap times. Gabriel's birthday is today, and we were hoping she would come as a present, (maybe she doesnt want to steal her daddy's thunder). I just pray she continues to stay healthy and in birthing position...haha. We can't wait till next summer when all of the children can play together at the beach. I look forward to watching Sophia, Noah, and Susanna bond and grow up together. Hopefully Rich can come and visit us soon too! Thank you sooo much Jessie for talking me through the contactions, breast pump, heartburn, exhaustion, and anxiety!!! You have no idea how awesome it has been to have you here to talk to. I love you very much! Thanks to my sisters Gloria and Teeny who have helped me out of the tub, move furniture -sorry about that, decorated Sophia's room, kept me from being too hormonal, and comforted me throughout this pregnancy! I love you two girls more than you can ever know, and you are going to be amazing aunts. Sophia is going to be here soon guys!!! We love you all and can not wait for her to join us and this amazing family!

Birthing Class

Gabriel and I before we went to our birthing class!



We had a hard time getting the pups to give us back our pillows for the class. Todd wouldn't get off his prince pillow, so we had to take Chloes.


We went to our birthing class a couple of weeks ago, and it was very informative. I have to say the videotape was a little much and made me even more scared than I was before the class. All in all we learned a lot and are looking forward to Sophia's arrival! At least I know a lot more about what to expect when she is ready for the world!

Baby Shower in Clayton

Gabriel holding up our new baby monitor! This is going to help us get a LITTLE more sleep at night, which is amazing :)



Measuring my big belly! Thank God we used string and not a measuring tape! haha



The girls cutting up int he kitchen! I still have no idea what made us laugh so hard, but it must have been really funny.



Playing the diaper game! If this is foreshadowing to the actual thing I am designating this duty to daddy!



Jessie made me feel so special, and I had so much fun!

Hanging out with Susanna and Noah baby!

My niece and nephew are the reason I am not afraid of parenthood. Their personalities and laughter make every moment I get to spend with them amazing! I wish I could spend more time with them, it seems like every time we make it up to visit they have grown up sooo much. I can not wait for Sophia to play with her cousins, and I pray that she is as healthy and happy as they are.









My sisters had a great time playing with Susanna and Noah baby! They are going to be amazing aunts, and I can't wait to watch them in action with Sophia. It is going to be so nice to have them close to us.

Road trip to Raleigh with Gabe and my gals

Adventures around southpoint mall!



Gabe and I gearing up for the roadtrip!



My best girls kept this road trip fun!



Our favorite sub place in the world! We have to stop here every time we are in town, and baby Sophia didn't mind it at all.
