An announcement

Hello, World.

(by the way...I'm a girl.)

Our Preggo Photos!

go HERE! Amelia posted our "maternity shoot." And I love the photos. And I love her! We had so much fun hamming it up for the camera (which is pretty awesome, considering I was 8.25 months preggo in these AND in a bathing suit...a true testament to her talent that I felt so comfortable!)

Also - HUGE thanks to Mark and Candice Brooke for hooking us up with the Duffy Boat and to Mark especially for driving us all around Sunset Beach Harbor.

So, you know how I took off work today and spent ALL DAY lounging poolside (or rather 19 pools-side) with the husband, sipping on peach and mango smoothies, and getting various spa treatments and massages? And getting complimented ALL DAY by strangers on being a "cute little pregnant girl?"

You didn't?

Well I did. And it was wonderful. I recommend starting every weekend this way.

And before you decide to hate me, please remember that I'm due in ONE WEEK and will very likely spend next weekend in the throws of hard labor squeezing another human being out of me. The exact opposite of today. So be nice. When that time comes, I will have totally earned today.

Photos to come. Maybe.

Doctors visits.

I got "checked" for the first time this morning.

If I wasn't dialated to at least a "1" when I went in, I'm sure I was when I left.

Happy Friday!

Overheard on an Easter Sunday

Brother-in-Law to Mother-in-Law: "Are you going to breed?"

Mother-in-Law to Brother-in-Law: "I'd like to...I should find a boyfriend first."

Took me a few minutes to figure out that they were talking about the dog. (An uncomfortable few minutes on my end.)

a shout out

We'd like to take a quick opportunity to recognize some of Kenny's immediate family... particularly these two:

Jordan and Nicole (aka "Pickle")

It's Jordan's birthday today - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jordan! (Try not to be grossed out by this picture...)

It was Pickle's birthday last week (Happy Belated Birthday, Nicole!) and we celebrated with a girls' night one night and a big dinner at Cafe Rio and karaoke the next night. It was super fun. However, with regards to Nicole, the real birthday we're all anticipating is that of her soon-to-be little girl's, Lucille! Lucille is due TODAY...but we'll just have to wait and see if she decides to show up. In the mean time, check out Amelia's site for some lovely photos (see below) of Pickle in all her pregnancy glory. She's beautiful. And her husband, Jeff, isn't so bad on the eyes either.

The simple things

Thanks to some innovative placement of several pillows and some strategic positioning of my body, last night I managed to sleep for a few hours on my stomach!

I'm fairly certain I've never felt so accomplished.
