It's a Girl!

We found out Monday that we are having a little GIRL! I thought for sure that it was a boy so I was really surprised when they told us. I really had to totally change my train of thought but we couldn't be more excited. D said he knew all along that it was a girl.

I'm still feeling really good and really the only symptom that I have been feeling is tiredness. I'm 20 weeks along and I'm growing bigger every day. And I have just started to feel Baby P move around in there. That's an amazing feeling and I can't wait for D to be able to feel it too. After Christmas we have alot to do to get the room ready to go. Only 140 days to go!

In Loving Memory of Granny Metz

Grandpa and Grandma in their younger days.

Christmas with the Metz's - my dad is the one on the right.

Grandma celebrated her birthday on Christmas Day. She was about to turn 92 this Christmas.

Turkey Day 09

Here are some pictures of our Thanksgiving weekend. We went to Kilgore to visit my grandmother and aunts and uncles for Thanksgiving Day. My dad and his 2 brothers always host a touch football game and this year the weather was perfect for it. Here are some pictures from the big game.

Then Friday morning we went down to Baton Rouge to spend the rest of the weekend. The baby got its first Tiger gear from my sister Julie.

And here is cute Kate in her LSU outfit.
Cole and Julie in their purple and gold.

Saturday night we took D to his very first LSU game.

Here is the group before the game. D is wearing a yellow polo shirt and he had on a purple undershirt. My brother Jonathan didn't think that was good enough so he bought him a LSU sweatshirt. That is the sweatshirt hanging over his shoulder in the below picture. He did wear it later in the game though.

Ryan and Dana

And here are some more neice and nephew pictures.

And me and D

So much to be thankful for!

14 weeks

I'm 14 weeks along (almost 15) in these pictures. I didn't really think I was suppose to start showing until a little further along but I guess all the chocolate milk is catching up with me. The baby is the size of a lemon at this stage. I've loved learning about all the developmental stages each week.

I think this picture is funny - Emily and Ivan wanted that lemon so bad. I would like to think they they were just looking at me in adoration but no, they just wanted the lemon.

Baby P due May 12th!

I went to a baby shower this weekend for one of my oldest friends Johanna. We started first grade together, took gymnastics together, got through home schooling together and were best friends. Here are some pictures of us from throughout the years.

This is one of my b-day parties - I'm second from the left and Johanna is in the red coca-cola shirt

Homecoming 09

Mandy was so kind to let me ride along with her to Ruston for Homecoming. I stayed with Elizabeth and Chris and got to hang out with their sweet girls. Here are some pictures of the fun weekend:

I love this time of year with cool weather, football games and friends! Thanks Mandy and Elizabeth for the fun weekend.
