I know! I know! It's been a while!!

I haven't kept up with this blog AT ALL! My sincere apologies! haha! I just remembered my password honestly!

Baby Blayne will be here in two months or less (or a bit more)!! We are so excited to meet him! I'll try to post new pics soon! The last few months have been a whirlwind, but for the most part I've enjoyed being prego!

The holidays were awesome even with all the travels! January was perfect! We had our first baby shower in Texas, and was very blessed! February....could have been a better. I had two events at church, which wore me out. Most of the month, I had a LOT of aches and pains. Then on Feb. 17, we learned the real reason for those aches and pains. A kidney stone!! I'll let you know how the pain really compares to labor shortly! no fun! gave us a scare too, but Blayne was not affected in the least bit. After that ordeal, I felt great again! Whew!!

Then, sadness, b/c Ben's Papa died. This was his last grandparent, so it was hard. It was good to be with all the family though and remember his amazing life.

Now, we are half way through March, and it's been fun so far! The baby belly has definitely grown, and he is getting stronger and stronger in his movements. Not so fun though when he kicks down low..if you know what I mean! HELLO!

MARCH: I went to a Baby Fair and won a photography session and small package, so I'm trying to decide when to use that! I'm thinking 6 months as of now, but I also like the idea of the newborn pics too.

Last weekend, we had some friends visit! The weather was amazing. They blessed us with Blayne's first preppy outfit! White polo with light blue sweater vest and searsucker pants! Love it!

This weekend Ben's mom and I took a trip to Alabama. I had a wedding and wanted to visit my home church in Opelika. Thanks to Ben's mom for driving us! My feet have been swelling, so it helped to be able to prop my feet in the dashboard! Ahhhhh!!

This coming week is Spring Break, so it will be a quiet time at church/work. We have our last childbirth education class on Tuesday. I'm hoping it will not be as scary! Oh my! Most of last week, I think I had complex look on my face. haha. Like I said early, I'll let you know how the pain compares to passing a kidney stone. If I can do that for hours without drugs, I'll be just fine! Next weekend, we get to take a tour of the hospital and register. Our final choice is Erlanger-downtown. After that, it is on to the very large consignment sale. First time parents get first pick and get to go early! Hope to find some good deals, but not get too much b/c on the 29th we have a Clear Creek Baby Shower! This weekend is going to be so much fun! My mom is flying in from Texas, and we are hoping to see a lot of old friends too! I'll be sure to post again after that!
