Monte has arrived!

And no, not the baby! Jack's parents came to visit this weekend and brought his Monte Carlo.

We went to the beach at Tybee Island but the wind was atrocious and the temperature was in the 50s. The ocean was very mad as you can see from the waves. Needless to say we didn't stay very long.

We had lunch at Uncle Bubba's since the line for Paula Dean's was wrapped around the corner to the next block. Maybe someday we'll be able to eat at her restaurant but for now her brother's restaurant will have to do.

We had a great weekend catching up and can't wait to see them again once the baby is here.....hopefully that won't be too long!

Getting closer............

This week marks 32 weeks. 8 more weeks to go..hopefully!! All the books and nurse/drs. say that first time mom's usually go after their due date; I'm hoping that isn't the case! I would be fine with a late April baby :)

Jack's Knack for babies

This past weekend we had a garage sale with our friends Laura Leigh and Ben. While the girls were outside wheelin' and dealin', the guys were inside hanging out. Jack and Reed were hanging out in the chair and Reed fell asleep right in his lap. He usually doesn't fall asleep in that position but somehow Jack managed it. I guess he has a knack for putting babies to sleep. We'll be sure to put his skill to test in a couple of months! He already has a way of calming our baby when he's kicking a lot....all he does is put his hand on my belly and he calms right now. I hope this skill stays around for those middle of the night episodes! I'll just hand the baby right to daddy :)

3/4 of the way there!

This week marks 30 weeks! It's hard to believe that we could be meeting Baby J in just 2 months or less. When we found out we were pregnant in September, May seemed like an eternity. I hope these next couple months fly by. Baby J is getting more active every day and getting quite powerful with the kicks!

Hitlon Head Pictures

So we didn't get many pictures, but we got a couple out at the windy beach.  The water wasn't so warm either.

Hilton Head

Well we are spending the night at Hilton Head and we were going around baby clothing stores and guess who we saw?  Why Ben Bailey from Cash Cab.  Erin really wanted to yell out Red Light CHALLENGE!!!! But decided against it.  We went to the beach for a minute and it was cold.  We'll post pictures later.

Baby J's Nursery

We worked hard this past weekend on the baby's room. We got the room painted and the wallpaper hung and also put together the furniture. All the boxes of baby stuff has also been unpacked and a home for it has been found. Now the room actually looks like a nursery instead of a room full of boxes.

The crib was a piece of cake to put together which is good because I'm sure it will need to be taken apart for at least one of our moves!

We were amazed how many pieces the dresser came in. We also found the directions were not always correct. Good thing we could do a little problem solving!

And now for the finished product....for now! We are still waiting on one other piece of furniture, which is currently on back order. We also need to hang the curtains and wall decor and when the baby comes their name will be put above the crib. We can't really do that one ahead of time since the sex of the baby is going to be the biggest surprise of our life!
Drum roll please...........

The rocking chair has a special meaning since it was my Grandpa's. I'm so excited to be able to use it with my children. I'll always think of him when I'm sitting in it rocking the baby!

So that's all for now!
