SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most of you, if not all of you, know that we have had our house on the market for over a year now. We happened to move at the best time...right before the market took a nose dive. We got an offer on our house last September that we didn't take due to the amount of money we would have lost...well, a year later we received just about the same exact offer. I wish we could say that we got what we needed out of it, but God provides!!!!! This was such an answer to prayer. I don't think it's a coincidence that we've been praying "Please God...just let it sell by the end of August!" Our movers are paid through Taylor's company through October, so this is such a blessing...and two months before the baby arrives! God has a plan, and has taught me so much about prayer and trust this past year. We are so thankful that He works in the ways He does!

So this is a bit bittersweet as we are THRILLED to have the house under contract, but a bit sad that we will be moving the stuff out of our first home together! It was a great house! On to the next chapter...

Sweet Max!!!!

Max is feeling a little left out. We have this blog all dedicated to the baby, and he was the 1st baby we had. I get a little sad when I think of the attention he will be missing when the baby gets here. I know that when Ella was here for the week, well, let's just say the dogs weren't 1st priority anymore!!! We will have to make sure to pay special attention to him and give him lots of love! Here's a picture of our sweet Max:)

Baby Shower #2

Last Sunday I had my baby shower at church....so much fun! Cindy went all out and did a fabulous job of decorating and making the food. We had a great time of socializing and opening cute baby gifts! Some pictures are below:

Looking forward to the shower in Hickory with all my girlfriends in a couple of weeks!!!:)

Quick Belly Update

Just a quick update to post the latest belly shots. I'm officially 30 weeks, but took these at 29. It's amazing what a week can do! I feel like I can't possible stretch any further, but I'm told I will be shocked at what the belly can do toward the end. Let's hope my skin is up to the challenge:). So here are a few 29 week pics:

3d/4d Ultrasound

This was quite possibly the most amazing experience I've had thus far in pregnancy. There is absolutely nothing like seeing your baby on the screen and getting to see his facial features and expressions. He was not too fond of being pushed on so he would move his hands away from his face, but it made for some precious brow furrowing...I'm so in love already!!! I felt so connected to him in a way that just grows each week...with each movement and kick. It's as though I can sense him developing a personality already. I know maybe that's strange, but hey, I'm carrying him so I can feel what I want:). Anyway, here are his precious pictures!!! Oh, and I will spare him from putting up more pictures confirming it's a boy...but he is definitely all boy! I also have some 29 week belly pictures to come...man that thing is sticking out now!

I love that the last one looks like he's praying...since the music playing during the session was Jesus Loves Me!!
