I haven't been online in FOREVER.....

I apologize. Everything is fine with me. We just have some really crazy family stuff going on and we have been really busy.

My shower was last weekend. It was wonderful, fabulous and so much fun. We laughed so hard we cried. In fact one friend said, " I kind of feel inappropriate having so much fun at a baby shower". This is me posing with my new "Vera Bradley" diaper bag. I HEART it. It is awesome.

Everyone was so generous. It was really great. We pretty much finished the "nursery nook". We just have some pictures to hang.

I was really waiting to post this until I received some pictures from the maternity photo shoot. That was also amazing. I was sent three "teaser" pictures until the rest are cropped, edited and sent to me. They are pretty cool. I just can't wait to see the rest. The ones she sent me don't show my face at all. I am looking forward to that. But, for now, here are the three pictures that I have.

Other than that, there are some pretty crazy things going on in my family right now (my brother is fine, not him) and I could use some prayers. It's just one of those weeks where the hits keep coming and coming. Financially, everything we own, at least it seems, decided to break this week, just as we got our tiny tax return. We are dealing with two very major illnesses.. one person is days away from passing away and the other is waiting to see if she gets a very serious cancer diagnosis in the next few days. I just need prayers for the both of them.

P.S. It's 2:30 AM and I totally can't sleep from stress, worry, and well.. pregnancy. I need sleep!
