Welcome to Miami...

Well, my husband was going to actually write a blog post (his idea) about his trip with his Dad to Miami...but somehow, now I don't see it ever getting done! So, this pic will have to do! They had a great time! Golf, food, beverages, & basketball...I'm surprised he wanted to come home!

Happy Spring weekend...

Spring began on Friday, and we had a lovely weekend! Tim left on Thursday evening to go on a golf trip to Miami with his Dad. He'll be home Monday morning. Connell and I are both really missing him.
Grandma and Grandpa came to spend the weekend with us. We had such a fun time! Saturday we shopped - a lot - for spring stuff...shoes for our growing boy, maternity for growing momma...baby gifts for the huge baby boom among our friends/family these next few months. We went to the Opry Mills Mall so that Connell could ride the train. He loved it, and said "CHOO CHOO" the rest of the day!

Connell & Grandpa on the Music City Express!

We cheered the Memphis Tigers to a huge victory over Maryland. Check out Connell's Tiger glasses. They actually belong to Grandma, and they have blue blinking lights. Connell thought they were the coolest thing ever!

It was so pretty outside so we spent a lot of time playing at the playgound. I have to admit, I loved the fact that there were some other "big people" around to help me chase Connell around. And of course, Connell LOVED having Grandma and Grandpa here.

It starts early...

...Golfing with Daddy! We are loving this beautiful weather.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

...From Connell, our funny lil lephrechaun! :)

Sweet Sound!

That's what Tim and I heard today at my doctor's appointment. No matter how many times I hear it, it's just the sweetest sound...the heartbeat of our little baby! I am about 15 weeks along now, and feeling so much better now that I am out of the first trimester. It's just like when I was pregnant with Connell...as soon as the end of that 12th week, I wake up feeling like a new person! SO NICE!!! I have energy again and I am not nauseated! I am sure that Tim and Connell are also enjoying having their more normal (if that's possible) wife and mommy back!

The excitement is building, and today we scheduled the ultrasound for Monday, April 6th. That's the day we will get a detailed look at this baby, as well as find out BOY or GIRL!!! We'll see if some of my friend's predictions are correct! :) We are very anxious for that appointment, and ask for your continued prayers for a healthy baby.

After hearing that heartbeat today, I am reminded of the verse that appears on the sweet gown that Grandma and Grandpa got for the new baby. Babies truly are a miracle!
