Nursery is ready!

Well, I think we are ready for Miss Noelle! Her nursery is complete and we only need to get a few more items before her arrival! Pics of the nursery are in the Photo Album!

I also wanted to thank the McGrew family for hosting a shower for us yesterday! Everything was just adorable and we really enjoyed the visit. Noelle is definitely entering into a very loving family! :)

7 more weeks to go!

Hey everyone! Well we had Noelle's last ultrasound today. We were a little nervous for this one, since this is the appointment we found out Madeline had complications. But everything looks absolutely great!! And she looks so fat!! haha. She is weighing appx. 4.5 pounds, which is on the highest side of the "normal spectrum." I think 2 pounds of that may be her cheeks! She's absolutely adorable and we cannot wait for her arrival! I posted 3 pics in the album.

Lots of catching up!

WOW! It's been way too long since my last post. Since then, Travis and I went to Natchitoches which ended up being a fabulous weekend getaway. It was extremely relaxing and much needed! Then in April we had a family vacation to Gulf Shores! It was a fantastic trip and we got to spend lots of time with our adorable Mia! It was great to be able to get that much time with her and really visit with her without too much craziness going on. She's such a sweetie and learned to say "I love you" on the trip, so we were showered with those words all weekend. What a fabulous thing to keep hearing!!

The following weekend was Noelle's baby shower! It was overwhelming how many people were there and how many goodies she received! She really will be all set to go! Thank you so much to my hostesses, Nannie Annie, Julie, San, Stacy, Christian and Michelle. The shower was perfect and we appreciate it so much!! And of course, thanks to all of you who came to celebrate such a great time in our lives!

And then last weekend was Maddie's Footprints had its 1st Fundraiser - the Crawfish Boil! It was a huge success. Almost 250 tickets were purchased! We still don't have the final number, but we believe the event had a profit of about $4,000-$4,500!!! What a huge success! The weather was perfect, the crawfish were excellent, the dessert was yummy and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. We were so pleased on how everything turned out. THANK YOU to everyone who came out to support the cause! And a special thanks to the Board Members, volunteers and sponsors! We couldn't have pulled it off without you!

We have our 32-week ultrasound coming up on Monday. This was the appointment that we found out that Madeline had some problems, so it is a little nerve-wracking. I'm sure all will be fine with Baby Noelle - but we won't really have a sigh of relief until we hold our healthy baby girl in our arms. Please say some prayers that all goes well on Monday. I'll keep you posted! Hopefully we'll have some more pictures of her to post!
