"Reunited and it feels so good"...

The Morris Family just happened to have a lay over in the Memphis Airport last week and we all went up there to meet them for lunch. It was such a short visit, but worth every minute!



I can't believe how grown up Julia is. She is very talkative and so tall, her baby fat is vanishing...how sad!
Maggie is sitting up on her own and is so animated now. Jane was shocked by the size of my belly since the last time she saw me was April.


Me and Julia - despite what it looks like, I am not squeezing her that hard, I was just really happy to see her.

Pop told Julia there was a mouse in his ear (a ploy to get her to sit in Mimi's lap) it worked...she is looking feverishly for a grey mouse...named Earl...

Two pregnant chicks and our pregnancy coach (the one who has done this twice before)


Miss Maggie & her dimples

Julia, Pop & Maggie - all smiling for the photo - simultaneous smiles - a very rare thing


Showers Galore!

I had a shower on Saturday from all of my Fleming Friends. It was so much fun and quite a hit...
Theresa had it at her house and was quite the hostess. Everything was adorable and as always it was perfectly done.

The gracious hostesses - Theresa, Krissie, Veronica & Katrina (not pictured - Jane, sniffle sniffle) I wish she could have been there!

Everything was themed around the nursery (black white & pink) it was adorable

Hagan was pumped about all of the new baby products...I watched him go from bag to bag for a good twenty minutes!

Thanks to all who came - It was great seeing all of you and Thank you to the hostesses...it was such a good time seeing everyone and catching up! Only a few more days until the Guest of Honor makes her debut!

Going to the chapel~

The last weekend in June was reserved for the Colvin-Washer wedding. Christina Colvin got married and it was quite a throw down.


Christina & David

Jeremy was not there due to a fishing trip on the Gulf, (his last hoorah before becoming a daddy) However, I had lots of dancing partners and lots of fun, despite Jeremy being out of town.

Me and the Booth men - plenty of dancing partners to go around



Mom, Dad and Mary Ruth (mother of the bride)


Jim & Theresa Hughes - one of our favorite couples!

Russell and Callie - cutting a rug

This was my favorite detail of the night...of course being pregasaurus rex, I was drawn to the candy bar. There were jelly bellies, chocolate covered pecans, jordan almonds and more all in the wedding colors...I was sure to stop by the table on the way out...

Normally at a wedding, after a few cocktails and the band has warmed up, I don't leave the dance floor...but with a few extra pounds these days and even with flip flops - (getting rid of the heels after the ceremony was a must!)
I decided to be more of a "spectator" at this event...I did dance a few numbers with Dad, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...Jane also has inherited this love of a good band and a dance floor...the wedding was so much fun and I had a great time seeing old friends and celebrating.

One last girls trip...

A couple of weekends ago, Ashley and I went up to Nashville to stay with Lindy.


We had such a good time catching up and Lindy took us to some pretty neat little places for shopping and eating...I skipped out on the clothes shopping and opted for a nap instead.
I also got to catch up with my friend Myra, who could be one of the funniest people I have ever met...All in all it was a great weekend and the next time we all get together there will be another girl in the bunch (baby Given)!

Baby Shower Time!

The last weekend in May we had our first baby shower. It was a couples shower and we had a great time seeing everyone and Baby Given got lots of great gifts. Here are a few pics...

Snoogle: great for a pregnant woman or a weimaraner

Not that I want to endorse products on the blog, but this one just has to be discussed.

About 6-7 months into pregnancy I had to invest in a body pillow.

When we are talking about being sleep deprived with an aching back, I decided this body pillow would be a serious investment. After doing my research, I finally found the snoogle - the largest body pillow on earth.

It has made sleeping better (as good as it can be to be be almost 8 months pregnant). I am glad that I bought it, it is worth every penny and being that there will be more pregnancy in the future - I see it as a long term investment...

Jeremy is not that fond of it, as it takes up precious room in the bed...however, Hagan loves it...

Before I get into bed at night, Hagan is allowed a few precious minutes to lay there before I kick him out, here are a few pics I happened to be able to get...
