Happiness is the anticipation of being a Momma!


Do I really only have 16 weeks left? My 3rd trimester is right around the corner. Wow, time is flying by so fast!

We are very blessed to have great family and friends who are throwing us 3 showers for Miss Brooklyn. I can't wait! I spent a few days this week registering for the things I think I might need and lots of fun stuff that I probably don't need! I made many phone calls getting recommendations on certain things. I have never seen so many choices in my life!

Just when I thought the week could not get any better...I got a package in the mail from my sister and Blake! (I miss those guys!) They sent me a "B" for my Brighton Charm Bracelet. One day I will pass this down to Brooklyn to wear on her necklace! Isn't it cute!


Trent has carried around a little secret this week too and surprised me with a Vera Bradley bag. I plan on using it as her diaper bag. Can't wait to fill it up with fun stuff. You should see the pockets inside this thing! It is fun to see his little grin when we look at all the things we have gotten for her. He is a proud daddy!

My sister in law surprised me today with the sweetest card and another charm for my Brighton Bracelet...it says "Mom!" Wow...is this really for me? Mom? Really? How lucky am I?




Judy, Trent's mom, sent me the sweetest card in the mail too! A mom is holding her babys feet on the front of the card and it reads...

"Soon those ten tiny toes will tiptoe into your heart and leave

their footprints forever!"

I also got to spend some time with my momma this weekend too. I made her Emily's infamous cheesecake with fresh strawberries on top. It was delish! Yes...WAS...there is nothing left :) I think Brooklyn is going to love cheesecake...she sure moved around a lot while I was eating it!

I went along planning things for my momma and it never crossed my mind that so many people would send cards, texts, emails and gifts my way. Today has been amazing!

Once again...How blessed am I?

Happiness is the anticipation of being a Momma!

I have a Vera Bradley diaper bag too! I got Olivia embrodered on it. I had to buy it for myself but I still love it. I also got the large duffle bag to match so we could match at the hosptial (i know I am a nerd)
