baby shower

Last Saturday we had the.best baby shower! Some sweet friends gave us a beautiful shower in Dallas. I am so very thankful for the friendships Jacob and I have, and am grateful that our precious baby boy already has so many people who love him! We were completely overwhelmed by the love and generosity of everyone who came and sent gifts! Thank you all so very much!

30 weeks // heart day

28 weeks // 28 years

I am way behind on my weekly pictures as I'm now 30 weeks pregnant, but I wanted to post my 28 week photos! I was 28 weeks pregnant with our little love on my 28th birthday! That doesn't happen every day! This little guy is growing like a weed, and so is my belly!

A couple weeks ago we went to Whitefish, Montana to visit family and get some R&R. It was the perfect trip! We stayed with my aunt and uncle who were the most gracious hosts... got to see my cousin, and Jacob even got to ski! We ate a lot, relaxed a lot, and saw some of the most beautiful creation in the world! It was a perfect spontaneous getaway/babymoon! Here are a few lot of pictures!

{25 weeks}

I'm getting bored with the whole "stand by the chalkboard" photo. So today I enlisted the help of my best horse, Lady. Or as I usually call her, "Ladybug." I got Lady when I was 10 years old, and she was 7. She is now 25 years old, and just as cute and fuzzy as ever. She made me laugh when she started sniffing my belly! Maybe her and baby E can be best buds ;)

*Oh, and it turns out my momma is a pretty good photographer, too! Thanks, mom!

it's a... {gender reveal party}

Ok, back to making up all the posts I've missed documenting our little guy's life so far! Here are some pictures from our gender reveal party. This was so fun! We went to the Dr that morning and he confirmed what I had already had a sneaking suspicion of since the minute I had the first positive test - that IT'S A BOY! We were both so excited!

That night we had a party for our families at my parent's house so we could tell everyone at once! My mom did a fantastic decorating job, and no one knew yet but us!

The answer was "423" - His due date, of course!

According to wives tales, he was a girl!

IT'S A BOY!!!
