What We've Been Up to Lately!

We are now at 30 weeks...here are some things that have been going on lately! We have been super BUSY so get ready for a lengthy blog!

The past two weeks have been super busy getting things ready for our little man while also squeezing in some other FUN! In the past two weeks we have gone on a weekend trip to Nashville, took our maternity pictures, went to our parenting class at the hospital  and had our first baby shower. It seems like here lately it has been ALL BABY ALL THE TIME. This weekend will be our baby shower with our GraceLife church girls. I can not wait for Sunday and to be able to spend time with these wonderful ladies. After this shower I am sure I will be consumed with washing, dyring, folding, hanging up clothes, organizing and doing ALL things baby!

Two weekends ago Jason and I went with my parents (Big Daddy and Momma T) and Aunt Jenni on a weekend trip to Nashville. Jason and I were super excited about this little get away because not only was it Jason's first time to go to Nashville and my first time in a REALLY long time, but it was more than likely our last little outing before our little man arrives! While in Nashville we went to a super fun waterpark (Nashville Shores) , shopped at the HUGE Opry Mills Mall, ate at the Rainforest Cafe (wonderful food and so much fun...can't wait to take Caleb there) and visited the Opyland Hotel! We had so much fun on this little weekend getaway and can not wait to go back with our little man :).

Dinner at the Rainforest Cafe...YUMMY!

Mommy and Daddy loved eating at the Rainforest Cafe :)

Aunt Jenni and I on the boat ride at the Opryland Hotel...BEAUTIFUL!

Last week we were supposed to take maternity pictures. Well of course we have been all summer so far without rain and the afternoon we schedule OUTSIDE pictures it decides to rain. Long story short Aunt Jill helped make me a beautiful mommy and had my hair and make-up ready for pictures and within a few minutes it comes a down pour. Needless to say pictures were canceled for that night and this little mommy had an emotional break down in the middle of the beauty shop crying because I was all fixed up with nowhere to go. Thankfully, my sweet husband and Aunt Jill and Uncle Chris took this hormone raging mommy to Bob Syke's for dinner. A couple of days later dodging the rain again we were able to get in a few maternity pictures so that I would have some to display at our baby shower. We are going to take a few more pictures another day when the weather is pretty, but here a couple for now!

Sweet little shoes!

We atteneded the Preparing for Parenthood Class at the hospital last weekend. I think this class was a wonderful class for first time parents and especially first time daddy's. We both really enjoyed the class and Jason got practice at giving a bath, changing a diaper and learning to swaddle. He is ready for his little boy now :) Of course..I took pictures!

Learning how to give a bath!

Clean diaper, a bath, and swaddled...he is going to be a GREAT daddy!

Last Sunday, we had our first baby shower. This baby shower was hosted by some very special ladies at CrossRoad Baptist Church. Everything turned out so perfect and these ladies went above and beyond to make the shower special. I have a few pictures from the shower, but there will be more to come later when I get more pictures. For now here a few pictures!
