Sweet Elizabeth Gray

Sunday was such an exciting day for all of us. We got to see little Elizabeth Gray baptized! She did SO well up there on stage! She just smiled big while Jay spoke to her & while the preacher sprinkled her-not even a peep came out of her! We were all very proud. Afterwards everyone headed over to Alli & Jay’s house for yummy pizza, cookies & cupcakes! Unlike Saturday, Sunday was gorgeous!!! What a perfect day!

I went to Dr. Sharp yesterday for my weekly visit =) He said Blakely is measuring perfect! So, I guess we have approximately 4 weeks left! I cannot believe how the time has flown. It really does not seem like it could be May already does it?!?

She sure is a mobile thing! I am watching her move around as I type--My stomach looks like the ocean! It feels like a jungle gym in my belly =)

Easter Pics & Clint's Birthday!

Just wanted to post some pictures of our Easter Bunny & family!!!

& these are from Clint's Birthday! He did pretty good this year =)

Sleepy Saturday!

I don't know a better feeling than waking up to the nice, steady sound of rain when you realize you don't have to get out and drive to work--you can just lie back down and relax!!! Believe it or not, I am enjoying the rainy day today! Zi and I are just relaxing on the couch watching it fall out the back window!

We have the nursery ALMOST finished! Mom Lyle & Clint painted it on Monday & Tuesday! We are waiting on Momma to finish up the bed skirt & curtain & then it will be totally 100% complete! I will make sure to post pictures when that happens. =) On Tuesday my doctor told us that we can be expecting our little Blakely June 1st, SO we have one less week to get things in order--& you know me, I'm all about order! We officially decided on a middle name- Blakely Ann. Not only is Ann Mimi's middle name and Memaw's name, but it also means "favored grace." All of those things just made it perfect for our little girl! God does have favored grace on her and the blessing that she is in our lives! I already love her SO much it is unbelievable!

Well, we went out to dinner last night with our neighbors, Darrell & Sharmin. For the first time in my life I ATE SUSHI! & actually LIKED it...A LOT! I was really thinking I would hate it, but with an open mind I tried it! Sharmin is expected to deliver any day now--so Blakely will have Elizabeth Gray to play with and also Sophia! What a lucky little one!

Well, I guess that's it for today! Off to clean, make my first leash for 1stopk9shop & maybe a few tutus =). Later Zizi is going to Grand & Mimi's house to play with her best friend Cali!

BYE!

SPRING

Yay! Spring--well it feels more like summer already! Ha--guess thats what you get here in Alabama! I cannot believe how hot little Blakely makes me! It really does amaze me seeing how I am one of the coldest natured people alive. I can't complain though--I LOVE THE SUNSHINE & would take heat over cold, rain anyday!

I just got back from my lovely Dr. Visit--now bi weekly! It was delightful! Only one more & then I get to go see Dr. Sharp every single week for 4 weeks! Fun times!!! I got to take a nap today while I waited on him =) Normally I drag Clint along for my sheer entertainment & selfishness, but today I went alone & decided to make some good use of my time waiting! It was really neat at this visit though because I got to actually feel her heartbeat. Dr. Sharp put up his little contraption that makes the heart beat vibration & I got to feel it!!!

We had such a fun weekend! Easter was at my house this year! I got to host my first meal & use my china for the first time since my wedding. Clint's Birthday was yesterday & we had a ball!!! Zizi wasn't really a fan of the balloons & streamers--I mean REALLY didn't like it. She wouldn't even EAT. Which is HUGE for Zi! But I will say she got better as the day went on. I also planted an Easter Lilly out front. I'm definitly not my mother in the gardening world but I did as mom told me and prayed over my little addition, so I'm hoping she will not die! I am going to plant some daylillies too once Mom splits hers!
