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!

35 Weeks!

Geez freakin louise.

This little girl is going to be here before we know it. Making the 35/35 makes things feel like they are moving at lightning speed. Her nursery isnt finished, clothes arent washed, bags arent packed... we are not ready yet, dammit!

Movement: other than feeling her kick me in my boobs, she is still a little wiggle worm..
