Brennon's Room

The stroller from Nana and Papaw

All of the goodies from friends and family....we have been SO blessed!

The room is almost completely finished...we're excited; not too much longer!

Union

My great friends at Union threw me a surprise baby shower today. I couldn't believe how much food there was! I was so excited to see all the adorable gifts. I'm so blessed to have such awesome classmates! Bekah even remembered that Brandon loves Florida so she did the cake and decorations in Blue and Orange.

Go Gators!

We were so excited to see the Gators win last night over Oklahoma winning 24-14. The first half was a little stressful and we were afraid Oklahoma might win with the 2 thrown interceptions by Tebow but in the second half the field goal and touchdown clenched the championship and we're glad! It was also Andrew's 16th birthday so he was even more excited to see "his" favorite team win. :)

Brennan's Christmas presents

Christmas Eve we spent with the Abernathy's. We had a great dinner and then we opened presents early....mainly because big kids Brandon and Bethany wanted to see what they got. Brandon got this great new Northface from Colorado, more Florida stuff, and money while I stocked up on all the maternity clothes I could need, my favorite candles, and a new coat. Brennan wasn't left out either. Nana got him this adorable outfit from Strasburg for Christmas next year and Bethany got him a blue sweater outfit from Strasburg's too. I don't think the baby will be in need of any clothes after my mom and Brandon's mom finishes, lol. Late Christmas Eve we went over to my parent's house and opened presents there too. Brandon got this awesome little white laptop and clothes and I got Uggs, a ton of Vera Bradley stuff that I loved, more clothes, and an awesome set of fine China that I can't wait to use. Then on Christmas Day we came back and had breakfast and lunch with my family and rounded off the afternoon with Brandon's. It was a great Christmas!

Christmas 2008

This was taken for our Christmas card this year, starting to show a little bit here at 22 weeks.

It's a BOY

On 10-30-08 I went for my 16 week check-up and I had another ultrasound. Both Grandma's and Brandon came with me. The baby was still really active but the ultrasound tech worked with him until we could finally see it was a little boy! Brandon was so excited....he really was wanting a little boy. It was funny when Papaw heard it was a boy he went to Wal-mart crying to buy "Brennan" his first truck.

First Ultrasound 9-8-08

Our first look at our baby was shortly after we found out we were pregnant. The baby was so active we could hardly see what was going on. This ultrasound was done at 9 weeks and it was the first time we really believed we had a little person in there. You could see his little arms on the screen....wow....
