Merry Christmas!

We hope everyone has a great Christmas. Here are a few pictures of Spencer and Piper as they get ready for Santa to come!

Look At Our Cutie!!

I am finally awake enough to post some pictures from the last week. We have been at home for two nights now and things seem to be going fairly well. He is eating much better and gaining weight. I am still very sore all over but every day gets a little bit better. We love having Spencer with us. It is amazing that you can love something so much that we have only had for 5 days! I hope everyone enjoys the pictures!

We Have Our Little Boy!!!

Little Spencer came very early Wednesday morning, December 12th and 2:32am. His Uncle Corey had been saying all along that that is when he would come! I started having contractions around 5:30am Tuesday morning and went to the hospital around four that afternoon. It was a very tough labor but it was well worth it. Spencer was 8 pounds and 20 inches,with blonde hair and blue eyes. But except for that he looks just like his Daddy. Josh was wonderful through the whole thing. It was the most amazing thing that either of us had ever experienced. We spend so much time just staring at him and being thankful for how lucky we are. We get to come home from the hospital tomorrow, so I will try to post some pictures in the next few days!

No Baby Yet!

We are still waiting for Little Spencer. We went in to the doctor yesterday and we were both a little disappointed. Basically, they told us that 60% of women have their babies within a week of the due date. So therefore, with ours being MONDAY, we have to wait ;(( So hopefully,he will come this week because this mama don't think she can take much more! However, if we make it to next Friday, then they will check to see if I am dilated and if I am then they will talk about inducing me. However, if I am not dilated at all they will make me go another week. Although, I swear that if they tell me that I will throw something at them and start screaming. Let's all pray that Little Spencer is here before Mommy and Daddy lose their minds with apprehension. All the bags are packed and ready to go, we are just waiting for Little Man! He probably weights about 8- 81/2 pounds right now, which I think is plently big and healthy enough! Let's hope he is not a ten pounder like his daddy!

One More Baby Shower

A few weeks ago, Amy and some other friends and family members through Josh and I our last big baby shower. It was at her and Corey's house and it was so nice. It was great to get to visit with everyone and we got some great presents. Some of my favorites were a lamp and rug to match the baby's nursery, an ABC book that Amy made for us and some really cute Christmas outfits for little Spencer. After the shower, we all celebrate Phyllis birthday by eating at Bit Shotz and then going back to Amy and Coreys for cake and presents. It was a great way to finish up the a wonderful day!

As for a baby update:

We went back yesterday for our checkup. His heartbeat was 144. His head his down, his back is laying up against the right side of my belly and his butt is up at my chest. The doctor said everything was looking good and he was approximately 7 pounds, although I think they might be a littl off. The best part: over the past 2 weeks I have only gained 1 pound!!! Only two more weeks to go!

Josh loves me!

The past two weekends have been so busy. Last weekend , my home church ,First Baptist through us a baby shower at Donna Miller's house! My Aunt Rosy and Nana helped out with it. We got lots of great gifts including our Diaper Genie, a stoller and a bath for the baby! This past weekend, Jennifer and Shirley and my aunts threw us a baby shower at The Victoria House!! It was so beautiful and we got even more great gifts. The highlights were our swing from my aunts and uncles, a beautiful blue outfit with booties and a tobaggon from mom, a Carolina diaper bag, taggie blanket, monogramed bib and a Carolina burp cloth from Elizabeth and our Rainforest Bouncer from Jennifer and Shirley and a Carolina Windsuit outfit mongrammed with his name from Melissa Daub, to name a few. Another great part about the weekend is that Shirly, Jennifer and Reagan spent the whole weekend with us. Jennifer and Reagan stayed at our house and Reagan got to try out all of Spencers things! It was so nice to see a baby in it. Then Saturday night, Josh and I had everyone over for a cookout. In total there was around 15 people there. All the girls helped me get the nursery in order and the boys cooked! We are getting so excited to be just about a month away from little Spencers arrival! We start going to the doctor every week now, starting Friday. Check back then for an update!!!

Western Homecoming

These were the only two pictures that I could get posted!! There were alot of funny ones. I will try again later!

A couple of weeks ago, Josh and I went up to Western for his homecoming. Let me tell you, it was crazy!! I can see why Josh had so much fun!! I got to meet most of his close fraternity brothers and also got the tour of Western. It included Deagan and his old apartment, as well as the fraternity house. We hung out at the cabin(on the very top of mountain, in Pagan country) on Friday night and then on Saturday, we went tailgaiting at the game and then headed to the frat house. Josh had alot of fun and he was very excited to see everyone again. I then had to drive home at 9 at night(we didn'get home until around 12) to go to a baby shower on Sunday. We were exhausted but we had a great time!! It is probably the last time Josh will get to see all of his friends before Baby Spencer gets here. Check back later this week for an update on Baby Foster!!

Week 28
Week 29

I have been promising for sometime now to put up some nursery pictures. The nursery is nearly complete, we just have a few last minute details to add. Josh and I love just to look at it. It is hard to imagine that in just a few weeks, Baby Spencer will be using that room!! Although I hate looking at my pregger shots right now, I figured I would post some more recent ones of my growing belly. We had a doctor's appointment yesterday(we are know going every 2 weeks) and my belly measurement was 30 inces, Spencer's heartbeat was 134 and they told us that he is head down and that is butt is on the right side of my belly. I have been getting a lot of kicks and rolls on that side, so I guess it is my babies butt!! He weighs nearly 3 pounds as well.
