Northport Baby Shower

Last night, a few of my sweet friends gave me a beautiful shower. We got so many wonderful gifts and had a great time. It was so much fun going home and looking through all the cute blue things. I have to get things washed this week and packed up for the hospital because our little man is due in 4 weeks!!!

I am so blessed to have such great friends in my life! Starting from the left:

Berry Baby Shower

Today was Cooper's baby shower in Berry. Holley was so sweet to have the shower at her home. All the hostesses were so wonderful to help and give us a beautiful shower. Thank you all so much! We got some many great things for our little man that will be here very soon.

I can't believe I forgot my camera charger! So I only had these very few pictures from the shower because my camera went dead at the beginning gift opening time! Usually I have two backup cameras and I forgot those, too! There were others at the shower that took pictures so I hope they share with me :)

I told Lily Grace this was a party for Cooper and he needed her to open his gifts. She was excited about that.

Look at those cute little socks!

Some of the girl cousins in the Deavours family. We were excited to see the twins for a little bit!

Handsome Tucker was there, too.

Thanks to everyone for being apart of this special time in our lives. We love you all so much!

Apples for Stormy

Friday night we went to visit Grandmama and Granddaddy. Before we went down there, we went in our backyard to pick some apples for Stormy. Or as Lily Grace calls them "bapples". I don't know where the "b" came from. She thought this was neat picking apples off of "her apple tree".


She had to get some high up in the tree. What better way than on Daddy's shoulders?

Stormy loved eating the apples and Lily Grace loved feeding him. The pictures just doesn't show the whole story. It was fun to watch.
She rolled the apples under the fence and then watch Stormy eat them.
Sometimes she would get very, very close to Stormy's mouth!
Feeding Stormy with Granddaddy. He got a little scared when she got too close. It was funny watching him. He turned duties over to Grandmama :)

Blowing Bubbles

Wednesday morning we went out to play. We did lots of different things because it felt so nice outside. We blew bubbles, wrote on the sidewalk with chalk, ran around and played with Hogan and got in the kiddy pool. Bubbles were the most fun though I think. She usually has a hard time blowing bubbles but with this pipe looking thing, she could blow some really big ones. She loved it!





Baby Update

Tuesday I had my 34 weeks check-up. It was a quick visit because not much to do at this time. Everything looked good and the heartbeat was 145. And I have gained a whopping 20 pounds! Already 7 more than I gained with Lily Grace. It has been so nice to be able to eat this pregnancy though.
Lily Grace went with me and was so sweet. She seemed to enjoy this visit much more than usual. She loved hearing Cooper's heartbeat. It was precious seeing her eyes light up. Because she was so good, the nurse got her suckers. She kept saying, "This one's Mommy's and this one's Daddy's and they are good!" Then she would lick her lips and make a funny slurping noise.

Mommy and Daddy's Weekend

The past weekend, Marty and I got to go to the beach for a few days. It was wonderful! We had such a good time getting away for our "Babymoon" before Cooper comes. We missed Lily Grace so much but it was great to spend some time alone. The weather was perfect and we relaxed a whole lot. Oh and of course, we ate a lot! I have an excuse- I'm eating for two! :)

I was craving a warm brownie, with ice cream, hot fudge and caramel. So we finally found somewhere that had exactly that. The guy that made them thought it was funny to give me an EXTRA large one! No, they are not usually this big but I guess he thought I needed it since I was pregnant. And I did NOT eat all of this, I promise! It was huge and delicious!


I love you Baby!! I had a wonderful time and look forward to another trip with you one day in the future! Thank you for all you do and a great trip. I love you!

Lily Grace's Weekend

Last weekend Marty and I took a little trip to the beach so Lily Grace spent the weekend in Berry. They didn't take many pictures but here are a few. She seemed to have had a great time. There is plenty going on at Grandmommy and Pop's to keep her entertained. They said her and Tucker had a blast together. I know I missed her a lot more than she missed me. I talked to her a couple of times everyday and she sounded so grown up on the phone. I can't get over how big she is getting. Thank you all up there in Berry for letting Lily Grace stay with you for a few days! We love you all!

Happy Anniversary Maw Maw and Granddaddy!
Friday night they went out for dinner to celebrate.
They said Lily Grace and Tucker were the best kids and had so much fun. But these pictures are so funny to me because neither one of them looked like they were having a great time. Guess they couldn't get them to smile for the picture :)

We all know how much Lily Grace loves animals. This is one animal that loves her, too. Hazel seems to be just as crazy about Lily Grace as she is about the cat!
What an outfit! Grandmommy got her these princess high heels and it is hilarious watching her try to walk in them!

Go Uncle Skyler!

A couple of Fridays ago was Uncle Skyler's first game. They won BIG! Uncle Skyler is a starting linebacker. He did such a great job! We can't wait to go watch him play again. Lily Grace dressed in her new cheer outfit I appliqued for her. She looked too cute. Every time the crowd would clap and cheer, Lily Grace would yell "GO Sky-er!!" She was so excited to watch him but wanted to go out and play football with him on the field :)

Lily Grace loved the Victory Line. She liked watching the cheerleaders and band play. She got to stand by Houston down there.
Back at Grandmommy and Pop's house after the game doing a little cheer (with her frog, ha).

Baby Update

On August 12th, I had a check up for Cooper and everything looked great! His heart rate was 148 and I am measuring perfect. Now we are going every two weeks for checkups!

Monday afternoon we went to the doctor for the next checkup. I was 32 weeks pregnant and we got to have the 4D ultrasound. I got 43 pictures of our little man!! Way too many to put on here, so I am posting a few of our favorites. They didn't turn out great because he was hiding behind the placenta and the umbilical cord was floating around in front of his face, but we still got a little glimpse of him. It is so amazing what they can do now!

Lily Grace went with Marty and me to see her little brother. She kept saying things like "See his nose", "He's crying", "He's sleeping", "Ewww, gross". Then the nurse would take the picture back to the original ultrasound pictures and when she would bring it back to these pictures LG would say, "Ewww, gross again". It was too funny and she had the nurse cracking up. Remember the video we were seeing was not in black and white but in a brown color and you could see him moving all around. I guess she thought that was gross looking, Ha!

He weighed 4 lbs 15 oz. already! He is very healthy right now. He should have weighed 3.75 lbs, so his weight put him in the 88.4 percentile! His heart rate was 146. His head is down and ready! And he is very low. So with all that said, that is why I have been having so much pressure. I got a new and bigger support belt to wear that is helping me some with that pressure. I can't believe he is due in less than 8 weeks now! It will be here before we know it! We go back again in two weeks. We do that two more times and then it is checkups every week. Wow, does the time fly by!

Okay, enough updates! Here are the pictures!

When we scanned them in, they weren't as clear but you can see it pretty good. The nurse kept saying how beautiful and full his lips were. (That is the placenta in front of his face if you are wondering)
Yes! That is is foot on his forehead!! And YES, it does look like he has a BIG toe like his Daddy :)
He smiled for us in this picture
He was doing something funny with his mouth here. So cute! We are so looking forward to seeing him and holding him in our arms.
