Showering Mommy and Baby Gage



On July 28th (31 weeks pregnant) my mom, Courtney and Jill threw us an amazing baby shower. The shower was at Patsy and Alika's home in Fort Lauderdale. Everything was so perfect from the theme (Baby-Q..like BBQ) to the food, to the homemade cake to all the special guests who came :) 

"Baby Bliss Bellini" 
The amazing homemade red velvet cake-Thanks Patsy!

Baby fruit bowl-loved this!

The hosts-Courtney, Jill and Mom Goldie

Me, Gage and his "Meme" and "Grammy"



The girls measured my belly with fishing line-how appropriate!!! Then all the guests had to guess how big my belly was....
Momma Goldie was the closest- she was only over about an inch



 




I have the most amazing family and friends-- thank you so much to everyone who came... from near and far (Mississippi, NY, DC, Boston, Crawfordville). Matt and I and baby Gage are truly so blessed! 


THANK YOU!

30 Weeks

We are 30 weeks pregnant... only 10 more weeks to go!!!



This past weekend we went up to Wakulla (where Matt is from), to take our maternity pictures. It was a lot of fun and I think we got some really good photos :) -- we will share the website as soon as they are up. When we were finished, we came home to a surprise baby shower!!!!  Thank you so much to mom and dad Bliss and "Aunt Linda" for making this happen and to all of those who came! It meant so much to us!!




We're so blessed!
Love Always,

29 weeks

We are 29 weeks pregnant and our baby is the size of a squash. 
He is about 3 pounds and almost 17 inches long! 


Its pretty crazy to me that thats whats going on inside my belly. 
As of now, I have gained 17 pounds...still trying to go to the gym and stay healthy. I'm still feeling great (besides the heart burn and the charlie horses in my calves at night)... but hey, all in all, i can't complain :)



Here are a few pictures of some of the details in Gage's room. I was feeling crafty this past week...

I painted and textured some old frames we had laying around. I chose white and grey to go with the grey walls and white furniture. Obviously some of them still need to be filled... I just want to take my time( well i only have 10 more weeks) to find really unique things to put in them. So far I made a "fish hook" collage from some of Matt's old fishing hooks, a 3D sonogram of the little guy, and his name in silver letters. Matt promised me he would do a fish sketch in one of them :) feel free to shoot any ideas our way.


Here is an old boat ladder I picked up at a garage sale a while back. Ive used it to hang his blankets on.


When I went to the craft store to pick up the paint for the frames, they were giving away a free canvas... so... i painted this to lean on his dresser/hang on a different wall.



Its all starting to come along :) Cant wait to meet our little guy!



Until Next week,

Love Always,



27 Weeks
