Getting sooo Excited...

This last week has been so much fun and has made Brad and I so excited about our new arrival coming soon. We have about 5 weeks or so left. We are due on Good Friday which is also the end of my spring break which means I have 4 more weeks of work, too. The fun all started with a shower at my school last Thursday afternoon (pictures to come later from that). My mom and sister came into town for the fun, too. Then our bed and dresser finally came in on Thursday, too. Brad drove to Memphis to get it on Thursday and drove back with it. He got home at 10:30 that night and we all stayed up until 12:30 for him to put the bed together. Wow, it really changed the look of his room fast. Then on Saturday morning my small group girls plus my good friend Chrissie gave me a wonderful shower. Here is a pic of most of us. All but two of us in the picture are pregnant and those two who aren't have 1 year olds, so don't come drink the water around here unless you want a little one. These are three of the sweetest little girls I know. They came to my shower, too. I was so glad to have them there. From left to right: Nettie - I started working with her when she was about 1 month old, then she came into my classroom last year and I still get the privelege of teaching this amazing child this year, too. Yes she is profoundly deaf and talks beautifully!!! Ainsley - She is the daughter of one of my very good friends and colleagues, Amy. She is so adorable and another amazing little girl. Emma - She is hearing, but was in my class three years ago as a reverse mainstream child. Her mom worked with me at the time. She is one of the smartest and sweetest little girls I know. She actually brought me her favorite books from when she was a baby to give to my baby. I had to fight back the tears. Here is a picture of me with the bed. Just trying to give some belly shots for my friend Jessica. These next pictures are of a baby shower that Brad's work hosted for us on Saturday night. We had so much fun and the shower was so nice. The first pic is of me and my friend Amy. She has moved to New Orleans, so it was so nice for her to come up for the shower. We had fun visiting and laughing. She makes me laugh, so much!!! Just me opening presents, but I thought it was a good belly shot. Here is a pic of Brad, me, and his wonderful friends - Steven, Matt, and Bethany. They brought us a sweet gift - an adorable moses basket filled with goodies. All in all as the room fills up with baby stuff, we are getting so excited for our little man's arrival. Still no name, but at least we have a place for him to sleep, diapers, and some clothes.
