All About Baby...

I'll take you back to September 2010 which was an exciting month for us as it brought us the news of a wonderful blessing...the news that we are expecting our first baby! 24 weeks later and it still has not hit us yet. God is good! We are so thankful!

Since the moment we found out we were expecting our entire world has been all about baby! Even though it still doesn't feel real the first 11 weeks of constant nausea was a daily reminder that something was happening inside Mer's belly. Nurse Scott took excellent care of Mer those first 11 weeks and continues to do so as this pregnancy brings on different symptoms each week.

We waited until we got the 12 week check-up to share our news with friends and family. We wish we were able to tell everyone in person but it was still exciting to share the news over the phone. We aren't quite sure Sophie (our 2 yr old cock-a-poo) understands that she is about to be dethrowned but I guess she will find out come May! For now, we continue to let Sophie rule the roost.

After finding out about our new addition, the rest of 2010 was all about travleling, mainly back to SC. We are trying to travel around to see friends and family as much as we can now as we know that will soon come to a hault. When we aren't traveling we are enjoying life at home with some great friends in Orlando. Our friends are more like family down here and we are enjoying celebrating this stage of life along with them. There are about seven girls in our crew that our pregnant so you can imagine what our conversations are about these days. The days of chatting about celebrities and fashion have quickly changed into converstaions about stretch marks and vomitting!

The weekends we are home, we are working on decorating our house. We finally started working on the nursery...'we' meaning Scott but Mer (bossy britches) has gained some management experience during this process. Decorating a nursery without knowing the sex of the baby has proven to be somewhat of a nightmare for Mer. We are absolutely certain we will be sick of the color green come May. Here are a few pictures of what we have done so far. We have ordered the bedding and are crossing our fingers that it goes well with the paint....otherwise, Scott will be back at it again!

Here is a picture of Sophie helping her Daddy with the nursery...although, we think she believes the remodel of this room is for her.

Mr. Engineer double checking his math on the placement of the stripes...my little perfectionsist!
