Hey sweet boy! Your Mommy LOVES you!

And then there were three

Proud Grandparents

Our sweet baby boy!

Hampton's Nursery

Well, it's been a really fun project and I'm kind of sad that it is about finished but Hampton's nursery is just about complete! I'm lacking a few distressed frames that I am getting made to hang on the walls but other than that, the only other thing missing is THE BABY! It's funny how much thought and effort you put towards decorating a nursery and when it comes down to it, the baby doesn't even know or care what it looks like! However, I've had a really fun time finding all the different pieces and putting it all together! The bookshelf is full of David's childhood "toys" - his baseball glove and signed baseball, Cuddly Duddly (the stuffed animal on the middle shelf), his wooden "scooter", etc. It was fun getting to use some of his old favorites to display! Thanks Becky for letting me use these things! So for those that have asked, here it is...

Baby Shower!

I had the best time at my baby shower this weekend! The party was a blast - great food, good friends, sweet gifts & so much more! I am so thankful for my wonderful friends and family that helped put the fun night together. Hampton racked up on some cute and much needed stuff! Thank you to all that came, and for those that couldn't make it, we sure did miss you!

32 Weeks and Counting!

Yep, there I am, 32 weeks and still 7ish more to go! Haha, just kidding. I know, this is gross...but it makes me feel better when I look at things like this....maybe I'm not as big as I think I am after all! You probably figured out this is the Octomom, not me (thanks Helen Stacy for the idea of freaking my family and friends out).

Ok, so this one is really me...an updated belly picture at 32 weeks. Hampton seems to be growing and it is getting less and less comfortable everyday. It's hard to believe I still have 7 more weeks to go! I don't see how I can get any bigger!

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas! Our family celebrated the holiday in Memphis and then David and I came to Jackson on Christmas day to celebrate with the Blanks family. We are so blessed to have such great family and friends to make the holidays so special!

Cheers to 2010! It will definitely be a big year for us! I hope that it brings all of us good health and happiness! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hugs!

Hampton's 4D Sonogram!

We went to the doctor this morning for Hampton's 4D sonogram. We were truly amazed by the clarity of the images they were able to capture from this sonogram. You could see EVERYTHING! He is really obsessed with his hand and enjoyed sucking his thumb during the one hour "photo session" but we were able to get several good ones of his face. I'm not sure you can really tell who he looks like, but regardless, he looks pretty damn cute to me! :)

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We enjoyed our time with our families, including my Grandmother who made it up from Texas. It's hard to believe that Christmas is right around the corner! I hope each of you have a safe and fun holiday season!

He was trying to tell us something, see his little mouth open....

In this next one he is either telling us "I'm #1" or he's giving us the bird...I'm going to pretend that we know he's telling us he's #1....

This next one is kind of hard to see anything, but we were trying to get his profile...

Chillin out with his arms crossed....and a little smile!

Hampton James Blanks

Well, it's official...Meet Hampton James Blanks! We have decided on a name, YAY! I'm so glad I can finally call him something other than "Blank Blanks"!

I had a sonogram this morning and everything looked great. He is very camera shy and continues to cross his little legs but she was able to see the "parts" again and she also saw the kidneys (which is what she couldn't see last time and was the reason I got to have another sonogram). He kicked and moved his little arms around while we did the sonogram (the bottom picture above shows him sucking his thumb or something)...it was really neat! Other than that, the doctor visit was good - minus the stand on the scale part!!! It is really disgusting having to get on the scale and read the number that pops up!!

Anyway, we are so thankful that Hampton is a healthy baby! I hope this message finds all of you well!

Belly Bump - 21 Weeks

Well, I'm not one to post "solo" pics for everyone to see but everyone keeps asking me to do so.....well, there you go. THE BUMP! It officially arrived several weeks ago and continues to grow each day! It's no longer about "what are you going to wear today" but "what will fit today"!!! I guess that is just the JOY of pregnancy! I'm only half way there and can't wait until I can go shopping for regular clothes again! But it's all worth it!

I have a doctor's appointment on Friday and they will do another sonogram. I'm excited to see how much he has grown in the past 4 weeks. I will post pictures when I can.

Other than that, everything is clicking along! Nothing new to report. His name is still "Blank Blanks" because we have not come to an official agreement BUT I'm pretty sure my favorite is going to stick. We'll see! I hope everyone has a great week!
