Shower #3

My department co-workers hosted our 3rd baby shower on 8.19.10. I can honestly say that God has truly blessed us in more ways than we ever imagined. Ethan’s nursery is fully stocked, thanks to the kindness & generosity of our friends & family. Many of my co-workers stayed after work to help shower Baby Ethan with well wishes, love, and gifts!

Here’s a few pics

Shower # 2

My dear friends, Tanya, Nicole & Starlese hosted our 2nd shower on 8.14.10. They thought of everything, most importantly our daughters~ Our cake had 3 angels, one for each of the girls. It was such a touching, heart-warming gesture to celebrate Ethan and honor his sisters. This was a co-ed shower, so the men had to participate. We had some GREAT laughs at the guys but they good sports!

 Thank God for Good friends & good times!

Shower #1

On July 10th, we were showered with lots of love and gifts for Ethan. Our Mothers & my sisters took great care to ensure that this shower was perfect…and it was. Our family & friends blessed us tremendously.

Here’s a few pics ( sorry for the quality..I had to scan these in)

24 days & counting

I’m counting down… only 24 days until our arms are filled with what is in our hearts! 3 ½ weeks. WHERE DID THE TIME GO?


I am nesting and borderline OCD. I’m self diagnosing right now. I got OUT of the bed at 1am to clean ceiling fans. I tried to get into the shower last week but had to spray everything ( toilet, sinks, counters) down before I got into the shower. My bathroom had a complete overhaul at 1130pm on a work night. I came in from work last week and immediately started cleaning out my wardrobe and drawers. WHAT A DAUNTING TASK. Sunday night, I cleaned out the closet in the nursery ( which we’ve used as a guest room & my other closet) with the intent of making room for Ethan’s clothes! MISSION: FAIL! After 2 hours of working I only have ONE bag of clothes to go to goodwill. We will move all of the clothes to the other guest room so that Ethan’s clothes can get out of the crib & into the closet.

His clothes are washed & his bag is packed. I am almost scared to get everything completely ready because I feel like that is when he’ll come!


We have a baby shower this weekend, hosted my dear friends Nicole, Tanya, Monica, & Star. It’s gonna be great & I’m so excited. I do have the pics from our shower last month, I’m just too lazy to scan & upload them. Who knew that technology would spoil us so! The photographer PRINTED over 300 pics….HELLO, where’s the CD? :0)

Happy 1st Birthday My sweet Madison

Its hard to believe that a year has come & gone since Madison touched our lives. Where did the time go? Yesterday, I remembered the intense pain of labor and the emotional toll that it had on both Chris & I. This morning at 3:50 on my trip from the bathroom I recalled how my mourning was immediately turned to joy just a year ago at 3:10am when Madison was born and I heard her breathe. WHAT a moment. I remember yelling, “Moma, she’s alive”. We filled a lifetime of love in those 9 hours that she was with us. She was passed from arm to arm but she never passed from our heart.


Happy Birthday My sweet Madison! We love & miss you more than words can describe.
