Finally

I have felt lil'bit moving here and there over the past few weeks but it has been very slight. Yesterday mom and I went to walmart and on the way back I could feel it clear as day. Last night after I got home I didn't say anything to Eric because mom has seen my stomach move but lil'bit had yet to perform for daddy. Well, while we were watching tv lil'bit decided to put on a show. Eric was in the livingroom so I had to call him in the bedroom. Of course by the time he got in there lil'bit quit. So, I pushed on my tummy and the acrobatics began again and Eric got to feel lil'bit move for the first time!!!!! I can't wait till Wed.!!!!!

Today I go to Tuscaloosa for a game and I am really looking forward to it. I am supposed to meet up with an old friend from Sams that I used to work with. She and her partner have a little boy named Kaleb. He goes to daycare at Open Door Christian School, where our game is today. Isn't it funny how God works I know he has been working on them for over 3 years now........

We have a diaper bag!!!!!!

The Calera Chamber held a silent auction last night to raise money for the scolarship they give every year to a deserving highschool senior. We ended up with 2 things, our new diaper bag and a painting that Eric loved. I think we got the bag for 32, originally 50 and the painting for 30, the price when it came into the framing shop on the painting was 400. The bookbag was donated by Alabama Outdoors and is a life is good bag, so it is really nice. I have been told by several moms that a bookbag is the way to go and since I love bookbags I agree..... well at least for now.....


This is inside the big compartment.
This is inside the front compartment. There is plenty of room for little stuff to be stored and zipped up.
These are a couple of burp cloths from my secret sister.
Here is the painting Eric won.

Getting ready for baby.....

What a transformation. W have gotten rid of our full size bed that occupied the guest room and have cleaned out drawers and closets to make way for lil'bit. We got that new computer table that has doors so we can close up the computer mess. As for the mural, I think we have decided to buy some canvas for generic girlie paintings like butterflies and flowers but if it is a boy I would love nothing less that for a mural of a football field on the wall without a window on it and a baseball field on one of the other walls. Both would not be out grown for a while. As we get ready we have already recieved a few gifts from friends here they are in no particular order....


From friends......
These are from my mom. She bought these when we went to the carter outlet in Gatlinburg the summer before last. I got some things for Jamie and a few random outfits for shower gifts that would pop up along the way. Anyway, mom swore that when she bought these that she knew thay would be for me.
The super soft and cuddly stuffed animals to line the crib.... notice the pink one. Mrs. Eloff gave us.... she is pushing for a girl!!
The bedding. I bought this about a month I found out I was preggo. I found it at Ross for only $30.00 it is a quilt, dust ruffle, bumper and a fitted sheet. The ones I had looked at on line that I liked (and at wally world) were well over $100. So, I called Eric and said God sent us a blessing for only $30.00. He too had seen the sets on line that I liked and quickly told me to buy it.
This is the quilt. It is supposed to be boyish because it has sail boats in the stitching. Can you find them? Yeah, like I said it will work for either sex. If it is a girl we will add pink to the green and if a boy we will add brown and blues.

Long over due pics...

Eric and I at election headquarters waiting on the poles to close to get the results!!!!!!! We had no idea what we were in for.

Happy Birthday Baby!!!!!!!!

Pooch pics

If you want to see my pooch Eric has posted pic on his blog.... so stop by. Also Tomorrow is Eric's birthday so stop by and say happy birthday. He is at the big 29.

Ladies and gents place your bets!!!!!!

Due to Jamie's command I am now opening the bidding. What are you bidding on?!?!?!?! Well we should find out next Wed. what lil'bit is.... the question is what do you think it is?!?!?! I will give you some fun things I have already done. The Chinese cal. says boy. My cousin's cal. (don't know what kind) says girl and hers has yet to be wrong.... in the 10 years she has had it. According to the morning sickness, because I have been sick, there is a scientific higher chance of it being a girl. It was in a scientific journal that one of my students did her current event on a few weeks ago. I have not done the drano test..... and have no desire to. I have not been really craving either way one day it is sweet the other salty. The hair on my legs do grow at 900mph these days too. I have been taking the iron pills because I still have a hard time with meat (beef) but no problems with BBQ, chicken or turkey. What do we want? A healthy kid. We do however have more hand-me-down options if it is a girl.

Please keep a friend of mine in your prayers, I work with her husband. Her link is the Jennifer and Michael one. She is a first time mom to be and has been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. She has been trying to control it with her diet but oh my gosh have you seen what all you have to eat?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? She has also been sick since day 1. They went for their 4D ultrasound and they couldn't see anything. They go back either this or next Wed. to try again. She doesn't post very often but if you have a minute stop by her blog.
