It's been a while

So, I've been little bad about updating everyone on baby status! Sorry. This past week I've done a lot of sleeping and well...nothing. Not sure if heat was a factor or not, but I haven't felt up to doing much. Luckily this weekend I have come out of my "funk." Probably thanks to my husband being home from work all weekend and getting me out of the house. We've been on 2 walks this weekend, a Creed concert, out to eat for Greek food (which wasn't so good), busy organizing baby stuff and well, still taking long naps everyday! ;) This morning we slept in and skipped church and headed out to my new favorite place for breakfast - Donut Dinette on Colley Ave. I guess the best part about is that you can have your eggs, bacon, grits...normal breakfast stuff, but you can also get a yummy donut for .79 cents! Also, their pancakes are HUGE and so good! The picture below was taken on our way to breakfast there this morning.

Baby update: doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon at 3pm! I guess we'll find out if we are close to meeting this little guy! Thanks for checking in...

Happy Birthday Gabby!!!!

Halloween 2007

Say Cheese!! Yesterday, August 10th was Gabby's 3rd birthday. (I think). Since she was a rescue doggie they estimated her birthday. I didn't realize it was her birthday until we got a birthday card in the mail from our pet insurance company! Whoops! Don't worry...she got some extra treats, tummy rubs and kisses from us! I was looking for one of her puppy pictures to post and then I found this picture (below) and started laughing...again. This picture was taken on Gabby's first trip to TN/FL. The 14 hour + car drive was a little much for her as you can see below! She later chewed up that nice orange carrier and enjoys looking out the car windows now.

Who's in Africa???

It's out in the open...Dean went to Africa to assist with President Obama's publicity trip. Although the boat that trekked all the way across the Atlantic in record time for this mission received zero credit, I did find one picture of Dean flying over there.

32 week update

Baby and I had our 32 week check-up yesterday and we are doing great! We had our 3rd ultrasound to check on baby positioning. Baby is head down currently and I am praying that he stays that way until his birthday! He was a cute little dude in the ultrasound and wiggling all around. My Dr. was impressed to see that he was practicing breathing already (which is apparently hard to catch on camera) and a great sign that he is preparing for his entrance into this world. He must have his father's genes...always being prepared! ;) Definitely feeling contractions a couple times a day now, but for the most part feeling OK. I'll be glad to have Dean's mom and my mom up for a visit later this month! Below is a belly update! Enjoy...and thanks for checking in!

Blue Paint & Funny Story

Baby D.B.'s room is officially blue! The painter finished up today and it looks great! Now we just need the bedding to come!

Funny Story about a bird's nest:

Dean's Email: "a/c 44 got a bird’s nest so it is down for SAR"

Bonnie's Email: "Did birds build a nest in the helo? Are there baby birds in there or eggs? Kind of interesting...guess its a good thing your boat was floating out there b/c otherwise the birds would have died, right?"

Dean's Email: "Sorry sweetie a bird’s nest is when the rescue hoist cable is tangled inside the hoist, rendering the hoist unusable. No actual birds."

Of course it is a knot in the rope not an actually birds nest...I knew that!! ;) Dean's mom & I were in the process of worrying what they were going to feed the birds when I got his response! haha

Tour of the Southest

Dean, Gabby & I traveled for 2 weeks to see friends & family all over the southeast. This is basically a picture post of trip! Enjoy!

We started off at the cabin with Dean's parents in NC. We are standing in front of the garden where we planted corn, squash, onions, fennel & potatoes. It was so much fun and we had wonderful weather!

Fresh asparagus & strawberries from the gardens!

Gabby loves visiting her cousin Zoey! They have so much fun playing together...above is a rare moment of them not chasing each other!

We ate lunch with a high school friend of Dean's and her fiance!

Eating dinner at Uncle Chuck's house...had to get a picture with their Great Dane!

Here we are in B'ham hanging out...Gabby was glad to get a break from riding in the truck!

My college friends surprised us with a little baby shower for D.B.! The yummy cake!

College friends: Ammie, Katie, Lisa & Brooke! It was a SUPER surprise to see all of them and they were so sweet to plan it! Some of their husbands came too so Dean wasn't the only man there! ;)

Brooke & I outside after the shower with a frontal belly shot! Brooke is due in July with a little boy too!

We made it to Pensacola and got to see our niece in action at her t-ball game!! Go Marlins!

At P'cola beach for a family picnic and some photos! It truly is prettiest beach...not that I'm partial or anything! ;)

The picnic site.

Our cute little nephew!

The men building sand castles...which turned into see who could dig the deepest hole.

Mom, me & my sister

Dean's finished masterpiece! You are a true artist sweetie!!!

Our next stop was Opelika, AL for a family wedding. My cousin Wheeler married one of my sorority sisters!! I wish I had taken more pictures...it was a beautiful wedding and so much fun!
