Doggy Day

Alex and Hunny had a fun day at Fort Yargo. For the first time ever Alex pooped out before Hunny did. He spent a great deal of time on the shore watching her fetch the balls. Hmmm... could he actually be feeling his age and slowing down a bit?

Slow Summer Days

Okay, I'm getting really anxious for Cole's arrival. This has got to be the slowest, hottest summer ever! I really shouldn't complain, though. I have had a great time hanging out at the pool with my friends and family. I've been super lazy. I take a nap every afternoon (I know, I know... enjoy them while I can, right?) I can't imagine what it would be like to have to work up until my due date.

Today, at my 37 week checkup, my doctor said, "The turkey's done; he's just fattening up and staying warm in the oven." He didn't have much else to say except that Cole's heartbeat was 132 bpm and that "everything looks great." It's so good to hear those words.

So Happy to be Blue

Joey finished painting, and now the room looks complete. I love it! There are so many special pieces in Cole's room: Mamaw and Papaw purchased the rocker, Grandma Pat made the blanket on the rocker, Dad and Jeri purchased the dresser, my mom got the giraffe for Joey for Christmas (this was the first item we ever got for the baby), and Joey's parents purchased the changing table. The room is also filled with so many gifts from our friends and family. I don't know what we would do without so much support. It has all come together thanks to everyone's love and generosity.
