30 WEEKS!

20 weeks vs 30 weeks

I am so glad 30 weeks finally got here! I thought I was in the 20's forever!! A lot of people have been asking for belly pictures so here they are... I have grown a lot since 20 weeks.

We are busy getting ready for the holidays! I can't believe they are here, because that means the time is getting closer and closer for Shepherd and Spencer to be here. The boys are really moving a lot lately. Spencer's movements are actually becoming uncomfortable...I don't think he sleeps a lot anymore because he is moving ALL the time. Shepherd does not have as much room, so his movements are so different. I went to the doctor today and everything looks good. No dilation. YEA! I am still having contractions, but they aren't doing anything right now so that is great! Back contractions are the worse! Lets hope those don't continue the rest of the time.

I can't wait for them to get here. I am hoping I at least get to 34 weeks, which will be the week before Christmas. My house is already decorated for Christmas, so I won't have to worry about that.

Nursery pictures will be posted as soon as Matt hangs the final picture frame. =) Hopefully that will be today! Who knows how much longer before I am posting pictures of my sweet little ones. For now, I want them to stay right where they are!

Wow..Ive gotten big!

Am I as big as the tree?

This time next year, we will only have ornaments on the top half of the tree!

Birmingham Shower

Last Tuesday I had a shower with people I grew up going to church with. It was at Shelly Cavender's house and it was beautiful! They did so much to make it very special. As you can tell from the pictures, we had a great time! All the people there watched me as I grew up, and now they will have a chance to watch me bring up my boys!

Here is the beautiful table..there were two of everything! Double chocolate cupcakes, two layered dip, 2 pigs in a blanket, etc. Adorable idea!

My family

Sharon Moore got me the CUTEST hats with the boys' nicknames on them. I love them!!

Sweet outfits that Shep and Spence will wear next summer

Basket full of goodies from Maw Maw
Yea! My other car seat! We are ready now!

Uncle Kyle and Aunt Kelli wanted to get Shep and Spence something "Texas".

Each group had to see who could pair up the baby socks the quickest. I got to keep all the cute socks!

See how big Jana is! =) Everyone had to cut a piece of string to see how big my belly is. My Maw Maw won, she was within a half of inch!! I would like to say that everyone else was WAY too big! (Except Ann who is trying to be nice) Thanks Ann!

We had a great time! Mom stayed with me the next day and we put everything away in the nursery! Matt and I are finishing organizing this week and then we are just waiting. We hope we will be waiting for a while! Contractions are occurring every day, but I am staying at home to ensure I am doing everything I can to make it as long as I can!

Nursery pictures to follow....

Showered with Love

Sunday I had my shower with church ladies here in Auburn. It went so well. I am so blessed with great friends. They have been here with me through hard times of wanting a sweet baby and now they showered me with love in celebration of my 2 little ones. It was wonderful! Here are a few pictures from a fun day!

Cutest cake ever! The theme of the shower was "two peas in a pod".

Beautiful table

My sweet family!

Great friends that were hostesses

Everything was decorated and so cute! I got to keep those adorable outfits and bibs!!

Adorable outfit from Lindsay! Has the cutest moose on it...and of course there were 2 of them!


My sister got me my boppy and it had peas in the pod on it. GREAT for the party! Although, there were 3 babies in the pods...don't think I could handle that! Isn't Caroline precious?? She was the best helper!


Auburn outfits for next football season! So adorable from Holly!


Justin and Papa bought the boys onsies with "Shep" and "Spence" on them. Love their nicknames!!!
