We have a date!!

As long as all goes well, Whitley will be making her big appearance on November 3rd! Because of the gestational diabetes, Dr. K is wanting to induce one week early. I have so many feelings and emotions running through about it all, but I trust him 110% and know that he will do whatever is best for Whitley and I. I can't believe that in one week we will be meeting our sweet girl!

On a different note, my cousin in law was induced Fri night and at 7 pm Sat night they finally decided to do a c-section. She was 37 weeks to the day. Wyatt came out a big 8lb 3oz baby, but unfortunately had to be put in NICU because his lungs were not fully developed and he was having trouble with feeding. He is now in the special care nursery until he has 24 hours of good feeding. He is breathing better on his own but please, PLEASE keep him in your prayers.

We are two days away from being full term!! Whitley is welcome to make her arrival any day as long as her little lungs are fully developed!

Getting Ready for Whitley Kay!

We were so worried that the weather would be nasty for our shower Saturday, that and combined with it being only two hours before kickoff time of LSU vs FL, we were shocked at how many friends and family actually showed up to celebrate with us! The cake and food were fabulous!! We had a great time, and feel more than blessed by all the gifts we received!

Here's a few pictures from Saturday!

Oh, and did I mention the awesome cake?

A huge thanks to all that made it so special!

it's the little things...

like homemade quilts from Dusty's grandma:

and crocheted blankets made with all the love in the world for our little girl:

that make me feel so truely blessed to have such amazing family and friends who are as anxious as we are to meet this sweet baby girl!
