Wow, time has flown by!

I don't know where time has gone...maybe I ate it...but we are on Week 25, a little over 3 months left until Chloe enters the world. Our first baby shower is Saturday in Greensboro and I am so excited to see family and friends and of course to show off my Chloe bump. Barrett and I have been staying busy but are soaking up the moments of being with one another before our new addition. One night Barrett asked what I am most looking forward to when Chloe joins our family. At this point we were cuddling on the couch, enjoying each others' company and I said "This right here, except add a little tiny baby on our laps." We are in no hurry though. The nursery is a step by step process. As you can see, we added a her name and a new sleeping sheep and when we get the baby crib, it will go underneath. Barrett and I are still waiting to see what inspires us next.
Our next doctor's appointment is Thursday. Hopefully we will have new pictures to share then. Otherwise this is the Gestational Diabetes test week which means that I get to drink some super sugary drink and see how it affects my body. Fun fun!
That is it for now. Thank you all for your prayers and support. We are so blessed to have such great friends and family members. Chloe will be truly loved.

It's moving...

It has been a rather eventful couple of weeks...for Chloe at least. Even though the doctor says I haven't gained wieght since the last check up, Chloe is definitely getting bigger. She is moving constantly. Over Easter weekend, Barrett felt her for the first time! FINALLY! I have been feeling her for months but it's better knowing that Barrett can feel her too. A couple of times she has gotten a good kick in. Today, as my class was watching a movie, I had my arm resting next to my stomach and she kicked so hard that my arm moved. Not having felt the power of the kick, I was startled and my class was intrigued! If I could get them to be interested in grammar the way they are interested in Chloe, I would be good to go.

Chloe's room is coming along...slowly. I hung up her name letters on the wall and the next step is to paint some Really Woollys next to them. Maybe next week. Barrett and I are going to the Spring Carolina Blue and White Football game this weekend and I can't wait for Chloe to experience the excitement of the crowd. She already gets psyched up when we are in church. Next weekend we have our first shower put on by Mi Familia in Greensboro. I am really excited to see everyone and to celebrate little Chloe.

I think that is all of the news from the baby end of things. Our next appointment is on the 22nd...Gestational Diabetes testing...yay. Hopefully then we will have new pictures to share. LOVE YOU ALL!
