19 Weeks Update (A Day Late)

First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I am so excited for what God has in store for our family this year! I know it will be one of the best ever. I am also praying for what God has in store for your family. I know each one of you will be blessed in many ways.

Week 19 Belly Pic

Ok . . . .let me explain my attire in this picture. Did you know they make maternity work-out clothes? Well yes, they do! Now, as you can see they are not flattering (I don't think any maternity clothes are flattering), but I guess they serve a purpose. Yesterday, I went to the gym at 8:15 for an hour in my maternity gym clothes. After that, I went over to South to watch Daniel coach basketball in the annual Christmas Classic tournament (Yes, I put on a sweatshirt). The first game was at 11:00, so I didn't see any purpose in coming all the way home before going to the game. Luckily, they won and kept winning all day. At 7:45 last night, they played in the championship. They played hard but came up a little short. Yes, we were there all day and when we got home, I remembered it was Wednesday (Belly Pic Day). So, I had Daniel take my picture; Ugly gym clothes and all! Maybe next week when we are back in school, the attire will be one of my new, cute maternity dresses.

I thought I would leave with a fun picture from Christmas Eve. My sweet niece Makayla picked out this Pooh Bear pacifer holder for BabyBoo. I just love it, and I know that she will too!

Again, don't forget to vote for bedding! I love seeing what everyone is voting for and can't wait to make a decision in the next few weeks!
