MSU-Alabama Game

So every year Robert and I try to go to a Mississippi State football game, and ever since I went to Alabama for grad school, we try to go to the UA vs MSU game. It makes a fun rivalry. This year we were able to get tickets at Alabama, which made for a new experience for our friends. Every year our tailgate gets bigger and bigger. This year we had two full size tents and tables and a tv. The weather turned out perfect during the day, and not too cold during the night.

Robert and me at the tailgate.

I am finally looking pregnant.

At the game!!!

Our seats are always at the very top of the stadium. This year presented new struggles trying to walk up to the top. I was huffing and puffing and sweating by the time we reached the top.

Halloween

Ok, I know it is a month after Halloween, I have been getting grief from everyone about not posting recently. In my defense, I was working overtime my last few weeks and then we lost the camera. I finally found it and now have more time to post!!!
Here are a few pictures of our Halloween costumes. We went as Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head. Robert stuffed his costume, I didn't have to.

Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head and soon a tater tot

My friend Heather dressed as me for Halloween.
It was so funny when she got out of the car.
She even looks more pregnant than I did.

Zoey is wearing a baby costume of one of our friends.

Cuddle Time

So the other night we let Zoey in to watch TV with us. We usually do not let her in the TV room because she is too hyper and wants to play with everything. She was very calm and wanted to cuddle. Excuse the way I look, I just got out of the shower.







Zoey is hugging Georgia. Hopefully she will be this sweet and gentle with her when she is born.

Zoey is loving on my belly. I love it!!!

First Shower

So we had our first shower the other weekend. It was with some of our friends in Hunstville, most of them Robert works with. My parents were able to come down, but unfortunately Robert's family wasn't able to come. Hopefully they will get to see me before I burst, hehe. Here is a picture of the wonderful girls who hosted the shower.

Kristi, me, Beth

The game the girls planned was to have the boys have a beer drinking contest out of baby bottles. It was pretty entertaining. Shane finished first, took a walk, filled the bottle up again, and beat the boys again. It was very funny.

This is one of the many wonderful gifts we got. I can't wait to start putting Georgia on the Potty. Thank you to all of our friends for the wonderful shower and gifts. It means a lot to us and is a big help. It is amazing how expensive babies are. I always heard people say that, but I don't think you can understand until you experience it.

Chattanooga

So Robert got a free voucher for a hotel, and we decided to go to Chattanooga to spend a short weekend. It was sooo much fun, one last get away before Georgia comes. We went to Rock City, the aquarium, and exploring the city. The weather was perfect. Here are a few pictures from Rock city.

This isn't even the "Fat man squeeze". I was able to make it through no problem.

So when we got to 100 days left before Georgia's due date, we decided to make a count down so we can see how close we are getting. Can you tell we are first time parents and really excited?!?!

At the bottom there is this magnet

We found this magnet at Rock City and couldn't pass it up. It was too perfect.

Birthday Update

So I am a week late, sorry, work has kept me busy and tired.  I am coming to an end of the second trimester. Things have still been going well. We recently had to travel by air, no problems there. I feared having a little trouble on the plane, but things were good. I have gained a little extra weight this last check up, but it has been a sad time for our family. We recently lost F. Richard Imboden aka PA. He was an amazing man and will be greatly missed.

So update on baby: slowly moving forward with getting the nursery ready. Robert painted it Pink... was there really another option?!?! We finally ordered the crib, but don't have it yet. We have lots of clothes. I will take pictures of the room when we get more together.

She has been kicking soooo much. You can see her move or see my stomach move. It is still the coolest thing. I have not been sleeping, which is wearing on me. Not much else has changed. Here are some pictures from my birthday. I know I dont look much bigger, I actually started to show more this week. I think I am at that point where I am going to POP.

Baby Bump

Ok, so people have been asking for some pictures so I am finally posting some. I know that I don't look that big, so I wanted to post one from my view. I feel so big when I look down, but then when I look in a mirror, I am still not showing that much. I will try to post more soon so you can watch as she gets bigger.


20 weeks


This view is me looking down at my stomach. It looks so much bigger to me than the other pictures.

New things that have been happening: peeing a lot, not sleeping much, feeling her move, and peeing a lot. Yes, I have been feeling her move for a couple of weeks. Now that I am sure of what I am feeling, I have been feeling her move for a while now, but just have known what it was for 2 weeks. If you have never been pregnant, it is the coolest feeling ever. I keep imagining her (what she looks like and what she is doing) as she moves around. She gets very active as I am laying down to go to bed.  I imagine that she is getting restless leg, just like her mom. Robert still can't feel her, but hopefully soon.

We haven't done anything to the house yet, so I am sure that is why I keep having nightmares that she is born now, and we have nothing. Hopefully we can take some time and get the nursery ready. We finally picked two different beddings that we like and they will come in the next week or two so we can decide which one we want.
