National Sibling Day
I never really know the exact date of National Sibling Day. I always see people posting something on facebook, and this is one of the only times I jump on the bandwagon. Even though I give my family grief about the "middle child syndrome", I do love hanging out with my brother and sister. It is so much fun when we are all together, even if they do make fun of me a little more than usual :)
The classic South Padre picture - one of my favorites!
Baby Shower!
Our Baby shower was absolutely AMAZING!! We had so much fun, and we are so blessed to be surrounded by our friends and family to celebrate our little boy. We can not thank everybody enough for coming miles away from Louisiana, Houston, East Texas, Austin to celebrate with us. What a joyous occasion!!
Derek being a good uncle! I love that this book is twice the size of everyone.
The beautiful hostesses. Dede, Mom, Bunny, Alison, and Jill. We are so blessed to have these leading ladies in our life. Dede and Jill have been bffs with mom since the 7th grade. They have been through everything together, and now they are so amazing to help celebrate all of the momentous occasions - weddings, showers, babies, birthdays - the list goes on.
Ms. Bunny is known as my "Wednesday Mom". When I was in pre-school, I would go over to her house every Wednesday with her daughter Melissa to hang out and play. We always made grilled cheese sandwiches on her homemade bread (which I am still obsessed with). She is another life time friend that I am so thankful for. LOVE THEM ALL!!
The cutest cake ever!! This was probably one of my favorite decorations. It was too cute to eat - thank you Alison!!
Love being the Aunt to these two!
Mike and Franky - they came all the way from Shreveport!
Leah, Maria, and Terry - Love that Derek's family was able to make it. It was so special to have everybody together again!
This is one of my favorite gifts. Linda's mom made this us - our first handmade blanket!!
Poppi!
Mom and Granny
The only picture I have of Derek and I together. Love the little converse shoes from Maria, Mark, and Franky. We are going to have stylish boy - can you say stylish when referencing a boy? I think I need to work on that :)
Love MOM/Mimi

I love this picture that Ali put together. Wedding dress shopping to Baby showers - never a dull moment!
Love the Springer's/Cobb family. We grew up with the Springers and always went on family vacations together to Estes Park, CO. We look a little different these days with new additions. Can't wait to start new traditions with 3rd generation :)
Start of the 3rd Trimester - 28 weeks: The Sciatic Nerve
We had our 28 week appointment and everything went great, at least for "the babe". He is sitting quite comfortable, 150 beats/min for his heart rate. The doctors say I am measuring "small". One of these days I'll remember to really ask what that means, I always forget when I am there. I think this is the first time I have ever heard that I am "measuring small", so I will take it - HA! They always know how to make a girl feel good :)
Even though our boy is quite comfortable, I have been quite uncomfortable. Week 28-29 was probably the most painful week I have had so far. Apparently, the babe is sitting on my sciatic nerve which is causing a cramping/stabbing pain all down my left glute and hamstring. It is a miracle if I can take 10 steps without stopping or sitting down in major pain - literally - NO EXAGGERATION! It is so hard to describe, but all I can say is that it is sooo painful. I have started physical therapy and acupuncture to help with the pain and to get our little one in the correct place. So far it has helped and I am doing much better, but I still have a dull soreness down my left leg. I tell everybody its a good day when I can walk and Derek doesn't have to help me get dressed in the mornings. Apparently this could stay for the rest of the pregnancy. Everything has been great so far, and I want to make sure our boy is comfortable and healthy for the last trimester; however, if he could just move over 1 inch that could make all the difference in the world for me!!
