Baby Shower #1




Justin and I had our first baby shower in Brownwood August 1st hosted by Chad and Meredith Locker, Chance and Leslie Barr, and Courtney (Justin's little sister and future Aggie). I thought I would throw that in because she usually doesn't go a day without one of us harassing her about entering the cult. Hey it's all in good humor...we are very proud of her accomplishments. Now back to us and baby Emerson :)




The hosts sans significant others...Courtney, Leslie, Me and Meredith



The theme of the shower was butterflies and for all of you that know Meredith i.e. Martha Stewart you won't be surprised that she went above and beyond. We are so blessed to have such good friends here in Brownwood and will be picking their brains for baby advice very shortly.

The cupcakes pink and white of course with handcut butterflies


Courtney made these amazing tissue balls for the decor by hand

These were words of wisdom for the guests to give to us



Leslie holding 2 month old Jensen and Ella looking on
trying to wrap her mind around the fact her baby brother will be here shortly


Merdith and I belly to belly as she called our babies wombmates :)




The shower was a success and as the night ended there was a double rainbow outside that we named Emerson's rainbow. Another of God's wonderful blessings a rare and beautiful sight to see.

Baby Shower #2

My dear friends Brittany, Kelly, Melissa and Katy hosted a shower in Dallas for us this past weekend. We are so thankful to have such good friends to share this special time with. Of course there was pink everywhere...what more could girls ask for. We received so many wonderful gifts and are very thankful to everyone. My hosts got Emerson her car seat which of course is a must in order to leave the hospital when she decides to join us! My grandmother Meme in Florida bought us our wonderful chair for the nursery. It is white with pink piping and so comfortable. I will be adding pictures of the nursery once we get the crib and bedding in the next few weeks. My mom handmade pink flowers for the bedding so stay tuned to see how lucky this little girl is with her amazing nursery. I might move in there myself. I told Justin not to be surprised if he finds me in her crib one day :)

Each napkin was wrapped with a pacifier and stamped with an E...so cute







pictures of all the wonderful food the girls made for us

9 weeks to go...

Believe it or not our baby girl will be here in approximately 9 weeks. We can't wait for her arrival and are counting down the days. I feel great but know that as I continue to grow it will be harder for me to get things accomplished. Coming soon I will be posting pics from our showers these past two weekends so stay tuned.
