Counting down the weeks....



























We took some maternity shots as well as family shots on Tybee Island last weekend when I turned 33 weeks. Hard to believe that the next time that we will be at the beach will be when Miss Madelynn is with us and sporting a cute bikini (which by the way she already owns two)!!!

We can't wait to meet you sweet girl!!













Matt and I have had a busy couple of weeks with moving, showers, Matt's birthday, some travel, and seeing our sweet girl!!

In the last couple of weeks I had a wonderful shower with my family in Marietta thrown by my aunt and cousin and then this past weekend I had a small shower/girls day with my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law!!! Matt was there too so it wasn't just girls but he has always been such a trooper!! We also took some maternity shots on Tybee Island and some family beach shots too!!

We went to my friends 3D ultrasound studio again last week and got to see Miss Madelynn again and we loved every minute of it!! I am currently 33 weeks so the official countdown to her debut has started!! We dream about what she will look like, what her little personality will be like, and we couldn't be more excited to become parents!! Enjoy the pictures of her from the ultra sound... we got a ton and even a DVD of her action but I picked a few of the cutest ones. Her nose looks wide and flat and apparently they look like that in utero pictures but not when they come out...whew!!
I will post some more from the two other showers and our maternity pictures soon!! Looking forward to my last shower with all my friends this coming weekend!! Madelynn and I have been blessed with SO many thoughtful and great gifts!! THANK YOU!!!

A showering of love...




I promise to update again this weekend about everything that is going on....we have just been so busy getting the house ready for the packers and movers. Keeping what we needed for the next couple of months since our stuff will be in storage, and getting ready for closing!!




However amongst all that chaos I got to go to my first baby shower honoring Madelynn Frances!! It was so beautiful and so personalized to a tee!! (**See the photo of the beautiful baby bootie cake that Courtney made). Three of my girlfriends Courtney, Kellie, and Catherine hosted it and they did such a wonderful job. I feel so blessed by their generosity, support, and unending love towards Madelynn and I. I hope and pray that Madelynn finds a circle of friends like I have that has withstood so many years and so many good and bad times!! My closest friends are Jessica, Kellie, Catherine, Courtney, Ashley, Jenni, Nancy, and Crissie and I don't know where I would be without them!! The memories that we have all made will last a lifetime and I know that there are many more wonderful memories to be made in the future!! As the showers all begin and my friends and family put so much work into them I am reminded of the amazing people that the Lord has placed in my life!!




Madelynn and I totally racked up on the gifts and with each new thing I open I feel a little more prepared for her arrival. The shower was attended by my work friends and a few of my mom's friends also. A great time was had by all!!! More pictures to come!!
