2 Months Old!!

Oh my how time flies. I can't believe that my baby boy is already 2 months old....and that I haven't updated this thing in 3 months. Sorry to all 3 people that actual check this :) Not alot has changed around here since the arrival of Mr. Keegan. I have enjoyed not working and just being home with him. I am in the talks with my bosses about going back to work part time. The best part about it is Keegan will be coming to work with me! Sucks, but might as well bring in a income while I still can. In a few months he will be all over the place and this opportunity wont be possible.

This summer Matthew has been taking summer classes! So his life is pretty non-stop between work, school, and his home life. We enjoy him when he gets a break though.

Keegan is an amazingly awesome little boy! I figure thats Gods sense of humor to makes your first born that way so you want another kid and then that one comes and its the total opposite :)  We had K's 2 month appointment this past week. He is weighing in at 15 pounds 3 ounces and 24 1/4"long! He is definitely eating well. He is in the 99% in weight and 94% in height! We have one big little boy on our hands. He is sleeping around 8 hours a night but then eats and sleeps for another 3! We are soooo blessed in this area considering Matthew and I love to sleep.

K had a great first 4th of July! We went to see fireworks two nights in a row. The first night we were in Kennesaw and K watched the entire show!

The second night we went to Powder Springs and he slept through the whole show :) We got a picture of his while we were waiting for the show to start...and before he passed out!

This Fathers Day we actually got to celebrate cause Matthew is finally a daddy! K got his dad some Georgia Tech flip flops and a Georgia Tech hat. He wasn't awake to give them to him but Matthew was still excited.

Keegans first time in the pool was on Fathers Day with his daddy! I don't think he really knew what he was supposed to do.

And I will end this post with a family photo! Time to hit the gym to loose the rest of this baby weight :) I promise it wont take anothere 3 months for me to update again.

Easter / 35 Week Belly Shots

I remember back in August when we found out we were pregnant I figured out which holiday I was going to be the biggest at. I had seen women who painted their bellys to look like pumpkins, Christmas ornament, etc well for us our holiday was Easter. So on Easter night we painted my belly to look like an Easter egg. After we had started I remembered that I was wanting to do our 35 week belly shots that night....OOPS!

Here is the start of the whole process. The feeling of the marker sure did get annoying!

Then Matthew decided it would be easier if I were to stand...that lasted about 5 minutes!

We were over at his parents house so they got in on the action :)

His dad was waiting very patiently for his turn.

Definately glad that I decided to shave my armpits that morning HA

Close up!

Notice the nice spray tan my mom bought me so I would look pretty/feel on Easter. She also gave me my yearly haircut...THANKS MOM!!!!

This is all of the egg I can see without using a mirror!

I think Matthew has a calling is belly painting!

Jessica got there right in time to get her picture taken with our little Easter egg!

It is really hard to believe that next year we will be hiding Easter eggs for Keegan to find! The reality of everything is starting to set it. We have an appointment on the 12th for the dr to do an ultrasound to check out how big Keegan is then we go back on the 14th for our weekly check up. They will check that day to see if we are dialated any. Fingers crossed that we are...there isn't anymore room in the belly for this kid! They say once he drops down a little I will be more comfortable. I can't wait for that day.

Matthew informed me today that he will be traveling last week of April(not to thrilled about this) Hopefully Keegan will either come in the next 2 weeks or wait until May. Either way we are ready!!

Sunday School Class Shower

This past Sunday the girls of my Sunday School class through me a shower.

We had a few that couldn't make it but they were there in spirit!

Another GREAT cake! I loved the fact that the cake matches Keegans room! Crystal....you are so creative!! I decided none of the other pictures that were taken were Blog worthy :) But, it was another great shower and we got lots of cute stuff! Thank you Erin for hosting it at your house.

Shower #2

OK OK OK  enough slacking :) Sorry to all of my dedicated blog readers! HA!

On March 20th one of my best friends and her mother threw me a shower!

It was awesome! Everything from the cake and decorations to the party favors were great! We left there with alot of needed stuff! Here are some pics of the party if you weren't there :)

The cake was red velvet and it was AMAZING!!!!!

From this picture you will be able to tell we are starting to blow up...kinda like a balloon. I have come to realize that I like pictures that a futher away. This to shall pass....

Here are some of the party people. Yes Ms. Amanda Forbes decided to fly in a suprise me :)

Some more party people...

The little lady in the front is Matthews grandmother.

Thank you Susie for heading up the food line :) Those little pecan things were amazing!  Thanks again to Erica and Donna Heetland for your generosity!

First Baby Shower

We had our first official baby shower this week! A small group of ladies that get together for a bible study at my moms house asked to throw us a shower. I mean who is really going to say no to that :) Since Matthew works from home on Wednesdays he was able to come to the shower - for the food of course! 

There was so much food!!!

Some of the sweet ladies that were apart of the shower. I didn't ask their permission to put their picture on the internet....hopefully they wont sue :)

Lenee Sparks serving up some Jello!!

Now who doesn't love a good diaper bag! I think I registered for 5 different ones! Matthew is really loving all the little boy stuff....he may not tell you but he had a great time!

We are still feeling good! The heartburn/acid reflux junk has now started and I am not a fan. Hopefully it wont stick around. We go back to the dr on the 17th. I started working out this week...OUCH!! Carrying ALOT of extra weight sure makes your body hurt. HA

One of my best friends from Texas is coming in town on the 19th and I am having another shower on the 20th. I am so excited!!! This next week is going to go by so slow. I will take and post belly pics early this time since next weekend is going to be so busy.

29 Weeks

We are getting closer to baby time! We have now started going to the doctor every other week. The feeling of being cute pregnant is officially over! Now its all swollen feet and sore back!! I am really hoping that the next 10 weeks fly by. We actually got to have an extra Dr's appointment this week. During this appointment the Dr. informed me that Keegan is weighing 4 pounds and 1 ounce and has hair on his head...no bald or small baby here!!

They sent us home with this cute little picture of his profile! Another thing the Dr. informed me of is that if I don't watch my diet then I will be delivering a 10 pound baby. OH NO!! He is still measuring 2 weeks bigger than he should. So, no more fun food for me...atleast I will try!

Here are the 29 week belly shots :)

I am thinking we need to start lifting some weights!!

Poppin' out!!

Now just being silly. The same poses are just getting so boring!

We now have a new piece of furniture in Keegans room. For Christmas Matts parents bought us a glider. We love it!

I am sure I will spend alot of time in this chair! But for now we will let Matthew break it in :)

He is one excited Daddy to be thats for sure!

We are scheduled to go back to the doctor on the 3rd of March. Then starts the fun with baby showers and cake...we will be breaking our strict diet on those days :)

Stuff....

For the past 3 weeks Jonah and Kathy have been in town. It has been great to catch up with them. I think we have heard all there China stories multiple times. But hey the more you hear something the more you remember it right! They are leaving today to go back to China. Needless to say today kinda sucks! They are loving their lives over there and are doing some amazing things. So, I guess I will get over it.

During their time here Jordan, Audra and the kids came here from Houston. Only planning on being here 3 days they only brought clothes for 3 days. Well, on the 3rd day they got snowed in and ended up being here for 6 days! I was very thankful for the snow since it kept my family together a little longer. We took a few family photos Sunday morning before Jordan and Audra left to go home.

Notice the kids and Audra in their normal clothes...weren't planning on being here for church!! Jordan had to go out an buy a new suite so he could preach for dad. Our next family picture I wont be so plump and there will be a new member!!

The original 5!

Here are a few pictures of our house and driving in the snow. It sure does show how bad our house needs to be painted. Oh well :)

I never thought to take one while we were stopped.

We go this afternoon for our 29 week appointment! That  means only 11 weeks to go. I am starting to get really excited and ready for May NOW!!
