~ Christmas 2008 ~





































This year, I had a great Christmas. I am so sad its over! I enjoyed spending time with my family, which is something I should do more often. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family. I got some great news over the holidays, I found out my cousin, Clay, & his wife, Jennifer are now expecting also. Its ironic because my cousin & I are only 19 days apart, so now our kids will grow up close to each other. I am so happy for them! I had Christmas Eve breakfast at my Grandmas house and ate Christmas dinner at my dads house the day after Christmas. Christmas Day we just enjoyed our time at home relaxing and watching movies. Christmas Vacation is my personal favorite. It will be the last quiet Christmas for awhile, I am sure. But I cant wait till Bryant is old enough to believe in Santa and we can stay up all night putting together toys & stuff. These are some of my Christmas Pictures.

Its official, I have now gained 11 lbs. I feel like its 111 lbs though. I am now exclusively wearing maternity jeans, and I must admit they are pretty comfy. I could get used to this. I ate all I wanted over the holidays and still could breathe in my new pants! It was amazing- I should have listened and got some maternity jeans a long time ago. Now that the holidays are over its time to really start preparing for baby Bryant. I have got to decide on a nursery scheme and get to shopping and cleaning out his room. I am ready and excited!

~ Maternity Jeans ~

Well, I am breaking down and buying some maternity clothes tonight. I am 21 weeks and I have gained 10 lbs already ! I have fought buying maternity clothes, but yesterday I ripped the crotch out of my scrub pants and this weekend I popped the button on my jeans. So my mother is taking me shopping tonight. I also had another embarrassing situation happen over the weekend. My jeans were so tight that when I sneezed this weekend, it pushed in on my stomach so much that I peed a little on myself and I had to go change clothes. Luckily I was at home when it happened. So that's when I decided that its time to throw in the towel. Oh well, at least they make some fairly cute maternity clothes now. I had to buy new bra & panties too. I guess everything expands when your pregnant. This little man has been craving ice cream alot lately ( hence the sudden weight gain). Cold Stone Creamery is the best. I made Joe go get me a pint of there cake batter ice cream over the weekend, & I ate it all. Its my new favorite! He is growing so big on ultrasound. He weighs 14 ounces right now, and has some huge hands & feet- he is going to have long legs too. I cant wait for the 4D. I have a few more months for that one though!

~ Our Christmas Tree ~


















We went to Helena and got our Christmas Tree a couple of weeks ago, and I love it. We got a live tree and it smells so good. Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I love snuggling down in the living room with the Christmas lights on & watching christmas movies. I am trying to get some good relaxing time in now, because I know I will not have much time to watch tv after Bryant arrives. I am so nervous about how everything is going to change. I really enjoy my sleep right now and all the free time I have. I know soon all that will disappear. But, its a trade off for all the wonderful things that will come with having a baby :)

~ Iron Bowl 2008 ~
















We decided to rent a house for the weekend in Tuscaloosa for the Iron Bowl. We had such a good time. It is wonderful to finally experience a undefeated season. Florida is going to be tricky next week though. We are going to Hotlanta this weekend for the SEC championship. I cant wait!

~ Names ~


As of you all probably know, we are big Alabama fans, especially Joe, and this year we have had some great Alabama football. So our little man is going to be named Bryant after Bear Bryant. We haven't decided on a middle name yet. Joe came up with it, and I love it. I saw the cutest Alabama stuff for little boys this weekend in Tuscaloosa. I just want to buy everything.

~Catch Up~

Time flies by, it seems like just a couple of weeks ago that i found out i was pregnant- Now I am already half way through! It has been awhile since I posted anything, so I guess for the next few days, I will be playing catch up. I am 18 1/2 weeks now. I have gained a total of 7 lbs. My jeans are getting snug, & I had a break down this weekend. I absolutely love being pregnant, and don't get me wrong I expected weight gain, but I tried on new clothes for the first time since I have been pregnant & I had a miniature panic attack. Jeans in the size I used to wear wouldn't fit my big toe. So to get jeans that fit I had to try on like 3 sizes bigger. Needless to say i left the mall without a jean purchase. I went for my real ultrasound & Dr. appointment on Monday. He is getting so big! Even though I peek all the time at work, it was still exciting. The Ultrasound tech gave me a 3-D picture too, which was kinda neat. I will post some new Ultrasound pics soon.
