Athens Baby Shower

The shower thrown for me in Athens was done by very good friends of ours. Todd and I met Elizabeth and her family while living in Athens when Todd was going to ROTC. We became very close and are now like family to each other. Even though Todd and I have moved far, far away Elizabeth still wanted to throw me a baby shower! It was so sweet of her and boy did we have a good time! I got to see people I had not seen in a while and it was so nice! Elizabeth is also a GREAT cook and the food, as you can tell, was wonderful! Elizabeth, thank you so much for everything, it was GREAT! Here are a few of the shower pictures...

Updated Pregnancy Pictures

Here are some updated pictures of me. I am getting a lot bigger now! I have been trying to update this blogg but my desktop computer is sick and is getting fixed at the moment and I need it to upload pictures... long story, but anyways I do have some baby shower pictures to share with everyone once I do get the computer back. We are counting down the weeks now to Reagan's arrival, only 4 more weeks to go!

Baby Shower

So I had my first baby shower on July 15th! We had it at a local Mexican restaurant and had a good time. Todd and I were so blessed with how much stuff everyone gave us! You can see me opening some of the gifts I got. We had some fun games, like measuring how big my belly is and we also played baby bingo. As you can tell in the picture below it was some what hot in the restaurant but nothing a little cold water and standing in front of a fan won't fix.

Reagan's First Room

I know a few of you have been asking me what Reagan's room looks like, so here it is!! It's not quite finished but it's what I have so far. I fell in love with this bedding set even before we knew we were having a girl. I painted the wooden flowers and dragon flies that are now on the wall. I was quite impress on how they came out looking. Hope you like.

Pregnancy Pictures

So Todd and I both wanted to record my pregnancy with some good pictures of my belly. Todd has a friend who retired from photography and still had all his equipment. So he came over and literally set up a studio in our living room and we had a fun filled day taking pictures. I think we ended up taking over 100 pictures! Here are a few of my favorite ones. I hope they look good.

Reagan Marie

As most of you know Todd and I are expecting our first child. We recently got very exciting news, we found out we are going to be having a little girl! We are going to be naming her Reagan Marie. My parents got to be here with us when we found out. After the big news we went straight to get Reagan's nursery set up. It was very nice to have Mom and Dad here to help with all that. This ultrasound picture of Reagan is of her little foot. If you look closely you can count five little toes... It is amazing to be able to see our child on a big screen even when she is still inside me!! She is getting really big and her kicks are getting stronger!! Also here are some pictures of me pregnant at 22 weeks.

Parents Visit

Well as you can tell we had fun filled days (with a little work) when my parents came out to visit! After putting my Dad and Todd to work on new window shelves and curtains we then put them to work on re-seeding our back yard so Reagan can have some grass to play on. But don't worry we partied just as hard as we made them work! We got to go bowling, which was a blast! Todd and Dad also got to relax after their hard day with a nice cigar and drink. We had such a great time while they were here and are looking forward to seeing them this Fall for Reagan's birth!





NO, I'm not really smoking or drinking!

A Day in Atlanta

While Mom and Dad were here we decided to spend a day in Atlanta, GA. There is a civil War museum or Cyclorama my Dad was interested in seeing. So our first stop was there. I am glad we went because it turned out to be very interesting. There is a gigantic oil painting depicting the battle in Atlanta and it was amazing. You sit down and the room spins around the painting and they have made it look 3D and well it was cool. After that we went to an Atlanta Braves game. We had seats with a great view. The Braves won and it was a perfect end to a perfect day. You will note the picture where Dad is "kissing" the gorilla. Todd made the comment that he was amazed Dad managed to get his picture on the side of the Zoo. So that is Dad "kissing" himself. We got a good laugh out of that one...

Air Show

Well on May 13th we had an Air Show come to town. Lucky Mom and Dad were able to be here with us to see it. It was an all day event and the weather was perfect! The Air Show consisted of the Air Force Thunderbirds and all other acrobatic planes! It was quite a show! There were display planes all around the area so we got to walk around and look at really big and cool Air Force planes. Todd would be better able to explain in detail what planes we saw and all about each airplane but all I can tell you is that we really had fun!
