Bringing Home the Baby!

I am so excited about how cute the baby will be wearing this home from the hospital! I just had to share it with you. Aren't baby clothes just so cute and small? I can't wait for the baby to come!!! Come soon baby Christian!

P.S. Julie just sent us the fun "Christian" hat.

Counting Down!

We are now on the final 2 weeks of the pregnancy! We can't believe that in just 10 days we will be proud parents of our little baby Christian! Well, actually, I can believe it. I'm like the Pilsbury Dough Boy. I have gained almost 35 pounds and I am retaining water like crazy!! I roll out of bed in the morning and I find myself waddling to get everywhere ! Today I went on a walk and when I was finished my hands were as thick as a brick! I am not even kidding.
It must be a funny sight but after this moment of reflection I find it funny no more. I am absolutely 100 percent ready to get this baby out! But he doesn't seem to think that it's time. The last 3 visits to the Dr. I have shown no progress whatsoever. The baby is still incredibly high and has not dropped at all. He seems to be completely content where he is. Not if I have anything to say about it!

My mom is coming out the 18th and we plan to induce on the 19th, the due date. Even though the Dr. has agreed to induce, I hope we've made some progess by then.

Jared is starting his 3rd week at Ole' Miss and seems to be enjoying it. He is so smart!
I find myself really looking forward to Jared coming home from school everyday. I really miss him and I don't like to be alone all day. Hopefully when the baby comes I'll have more to do and I wont be quite so lonely for his companionship.

I tried to get Jared to take a picture of both of us for this entry but he just wouldn't! What a stinker. I bet he'll be singing a different tune when I want to take pictures of him and the baby! Jared really is a sweet heart. He has taken such good care of me the entire pregnancy.
No one could be more excited to be a daddy than he is. He asks everyday if we can have the baby now. It's so sweet!

Well I think the next time we update this we will be new parents! Until then. Chao!

A Night Out On the Town

Tonight Jared and I really needed to get out of the house. It had been really rainy and bleak all day. My mom had her birthday yesterday so I had a good excuse to go into town to get her a fun gift. Jared is not a shopper at all so I had to twist his arm...but he came! We went to "the square" which is right by Ole Miss campus and is a popular place to shop. I hadn't been there yet, and was looking forward to walking through some of the stores to see what they had. It is such a cute place to shop! It reminds me of Jackson Hole and a little bit like Park City. Jared had me on a time limit of one hour to find a present. (This was the only way I got him to come!) He said he was going to make me go to Home Depot and walk around for an hour afterwards. Ha-ha! ") I ended up finding a really unique gift I thought. (Can't say what it was just in case my mom reads this.)

Then we went to this really neat restaurant in Taylor which is about 20 minutes away from where we now live. We were looking forward to eating there because we had heard great things about their catfish and fun atmosphere. It's in a little Podunk town and had southern written all over the outside and inside. I felt so dumb that we forgot the camera! We should have taken some pictures. It really was a memorable evening. The waitress forgot all about my salad and served a huge group of touring old ladies first...which kind of had me irritated, and the piece of chicken I ordered was charcoal black and as dry as could be! Yuck. I'm not usually one to complain but it was not edible! So the service and the food was not top notch. But it was fun to experience a real southern restaurant. Jared seemed to like his blackened cat fish and french fries, so that was good! But next time we are hungry, we wont be eating there. ")
