some of our furniture

we finally got some of our furniture for jack's room!! we love it. we will get our crib next weekend when my parents bring it down for us :)

dot's painting and dad's bookshelf

these are a couple of gifts we got at the shower that i thought everybody would be impressed with. the painting is by my mom's friend dot and my dad built and painted the bookshelf for jack. we loved all the gifts we got at the shower and thank everybody for being so nice to us. we were really glad that johnny's mom and sue got to come from birmingham to the shower.

dot is around 80 years old and just recently took up painting as a hobby. i think she is really good and can capture the real personality of the animals that she paints.

my dad did a great job with jack's bookshelf and my mom did a great job matching the paint to jack's bedding. they make a good team!! my mom has been searching for all the books that were on my cousins list that her kids liked to fill up the bookshelf. also johnny's sister mary and neice molly sent us some books that molly likes to read to jack. my mom's friend gave us some good books too. so we will have a lot of books to read to jack in his new room!! thanks everybody!

shower in columbus

i had a shower in columbus this weekend. we had a great time! we had ice cream sundaes and cake.

these are my hostesses: my aunt becky and cousin amy

this is the cake that my creative cousin made. it is pickle chips (so we had ice cream and pickles)!

these are the decorations for the ice cream sundaes. the toppings were in the back of the dumptrucks :)

yummy!

going through auburn and 27 weeks

we stopped through auburn on the way home from our trip. we wanted to see what had changed...it is crazy how much has changed. we also wanted to take pete for a walk around the pond in front of the the museum where johnny and i got engaged. we had a lot of fun but it was super hot that day.

27 week bare belly shot. the baby is 2 pounds now (which is the weight of a head of cauliflower). he is 14 1/2 inches long.

my doctor's appointment went great. jack was flipping around when the doctor was listening for his heartbeat. the doctor said everything looked great. he said that i am doing just fine with my weight and all. so that made me happy because some people have been a little conserned that i was gaining too much (for some reason!!).

27 weeks.

videos from our trip

this is a video of the whale sharks. there are 3 of them in the tank. they are like 22 feet long and maybe some are longer.

this is the fireworks after the braves game. they were really good and long. they do it after every friday game.
