showers with friends and family

I have lots to share today. Two weekends ago, Paul and I flew to KY for two baby showers. While I was at the showers, Paul attended the UK vs. Florida football game with a med school friend. The first shower was in Franklin and I was so excited to see all of my church and family friends and especially my high school girlfriends whom I have not seen in quite sometime. It is crazy to think how much we have each grown up!

That night, my mom, sister, niece and I traveled to Nashville to Cristie's house for a shower with college girlfriends. We had so much fun. I had not seen some of the girls in three years but we all just picked right up like we had been together since college. It was so good to see Lola, Ansley and Abigail in person. Makes me even more excited for Brooks to arrive--that and the fact that I am getting so big I am uncomfortable and I still have about 7 weeks to go (plan to be induced about a week ahead of time so I won't go into labor at Duke and have to try to get back to Greenville).

That weekend, Paul and I spent the weekend at my sister's house--not that we were there much with all of our activities. We had such a good time! Pizza and brownies on Friday with Jennie's family and mom and dad. Cracker Barrell with mom, dad, Jennie and kids, and Jada and Andy on Sunday before heading back to Greenville. It was too short of a weekend but it was so good to be with friends and family all weekend! I am ready to come back to KY/TN! I miss everyone so much. I am so blessed to have a great family including my two best friends, my mom and sister as well as to have best friends from childhood and college and most everyone is in KY/TN so Paul and I must come back! God has blessed me so much.

Now, I am 32 weeks and growing bigger each day. Each day I think I can't get any bigger and then it happens! I am convinced I have a nine pound baby! And hopefully, that means I can get the c-section that I so desire--plus, right now he is definitely breech. I coach Brooks each night to keep his head up at least for 3 more weeks so that I can get scheduled in the OR!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! We are off to get pumpkins and Halloween decorations after some football. I love fall!

I do not know how to use this thing and so all my new pictures are after the first post--oops!
