Here's what you missed...   Our lovely church family gave Haylee a baby shower!     We went to the Outer Banks with family for a whole week! It was so much fun. We visited the Wright's Brother memorial, Jockey's Ridge Sand Dunes, Bodie Island Light house and hung out at the beach all week. I'll add more pics to facebook, be on the lookout for those.     Haylee at 34 weeks! She's doing great and the little spot on her heart has disappeared and she is 4 pounds!     Our family gave Haylee a shower with tons of food and gifts. It was so great to see all of the family! Everyone cannot wait to meet her.   It was a great day in the park for the shower. Thank you Nye Noona for the pictures!   We got to visit Daniel Stowe's Botanical Garden. My favorite parts were the water fountains, butterflies, and orchids.     We celebrated the fourth of July with our friends watching firewor...

My husband and brother worked on Haylee's nursery. Forget the mess! We have a couple of weeks before we can move out the spare bedroom bed and dresser out to our new shed. YAY. I can't wait to move baby stuff in there!  They did a fantastic job! They added board and batten and some paint to the room. My husband also installed a pretty chandelier to the baby's room. Haylee's room is coming along very nicely and is better than our room. I need to think of updating our room! Our three day weekend started with a Family Fun Day at our church. We had a great time with face paint, games and hanging out with our church family/neighbors. After, Souwan finished phase one of the nursery we decided to take a day off and head to the pool. It was a beautiful day out! The water was very cool for the first day of pool season.   We are 29 weeks and Haylee is the size of a pineapple. We got results back from our sugar test, but not the news ...

Our maternity photos! These are a few of my favorites. It was challenging taking photos of my husband and myself, but they turned out well. We used a tripod and self timer for the photos. I wanted to keep the photos as simple as possible.  I wanted it out in the natural space with lots of trees and greenery around. It also captures my love for the country outdoors, which you can find easily here. I was 27 weeks in these pictures.     Souwan and I attended our church picnic. We had so much fun playing games and eating good food. I'm still thinking about the delicious food! We even had a deviled egg contest where my friend Mark took first and I took runner up. Who knew I could make deviled eggs?!     Souwan playing ladder ball.     We did really good on coupons this week. Look how much Sprite we have! Thru my pregnancy it has been difficult to stay away from Cheerwine and Sweet Tea, but Sprite has been my companio...

I was craving strawberries and my sweet husband took me out to Patterson Farm for STRAWBERRIES!   We had such an amazing time picking strawberries and we got three boxes full of it. This definitely satisfied my sweet craving LOL.       Hope all of you wonderful Mother's had a beautiful Mother's Day! I got to spend it with some of the wonderful Mom's I know.     Our coupon haul this week! Some of my favorite purchases has to be the minute maid for .25, and baby formula $1.28 each. (Before I may upset moms out there. We have chosen to breast feed Haylee. The formula is an option. Thank you for not yelling at me. LOL)   Before coupons we spent = $87.25 & After coupons = $35.79     We are 27 weeks! Do you guys have any idea what a rutabaga is and how you eat it?! LOL. Haylee Marie is the size of a rutabaga this week. We are counting down the months left til she is here! I am definitely pr...
