First shower and Madison's room




So, we have gotten so much done in the past 2 weeks. We painted Madison's room pink and put high gloss stripes on one wall. We put her crib together, got her bedding, the glider, and some decorations. It is coming together really well. We really just need to put the wardrobe together. It is so nice to have her room pretty much done.




On Sunday we had our first baby shower at church. It was so wonderful and emotional all at the same time. Ray's Aunt Pat came from Tampa to it and brought us some great things. She bought us a portable crib, a bag of goodies with onesies, and other baby stuff. Then she gives Raymon a bag with a baby blanket that was his dad's which is actually pink, b/c they didn't know he was going to be a boy. Also, there were two scrapbooks in there:(1) was an album of pics of Ray's dad from baby to adulthood, it was so great!!!(2) was an album of Raymon from baby pics to our wedding. It was the most thoughtful gift. As he was opening them I was crying, Ray was crying, and Aunt Pat was crying. It is just something so wonderful to show Madison he grandfather and father. It was the best. Then my mom gives me my baby hamper and in it our 2 outfits that were mine when I was a baby. I didn't ever remember seeing them so I was totally shocked!!! It was such a meaningful day between the thoughtful gifts and receiveing gifts from people who have known me my entire life and are so completely excited to meet and love Madison.


Now we still have some stuff to do like organize baby things better and organize some other rooms in the house. Only 2 months left until Madison arrives so we got to get on the ball!!!!

Getting ready for baby


So, only really like 10 weeks left until Madison will be here. We finally are getting some things done. First, we got our shed up, so now we can out all the lawn equipment in there and start cleaning out the garage. We gotta make enough room so me and baby can park in there. While Raymon and Jason are cleaning out the garage, me and my girls are going to start painting Madison's room. It should be alot of fun, but alot of work too! I think once we paint her room it will hit me even more that this baby girl will be here very soon! It just seems like these past 6 months we have talked so much about getting ready for her and her coming and now she will be here in a little over 2 months! It is just craziness!!! I know (for the good) our lives are about to change forever. All of this is pretty overwhelming!!! I cannot wait to see her room painted and decorated, it will be sooooo cute!!!!!

Baby girl

This is a beautiful pic ture of my baby girl!!!!

Long time, no blog

So it has been 4 months or so since I have blogged. That is cardinal sin. These past four months my baby has continued to grow. I only have 3 months left before my beautiful, baby girl Madison Yvonne arrives into this world and my life will be changed forever. I will be a mother, she will be depending on me for everything. I pray God gives me everything I need to do this right. I cannot not believe how excited my friends and family are about this. Even people who I am not that close too. I have received so many cute things already and I still have 2 or 3 baby showers to get through. It is so nice!!!! Also, we only have 3 months left to paint her room, her furniture and put new flooring in her room. Continue to pray that everything goes well with the baby and us getting ready for her!!!!
