Adventures in Baby Land

The pack n' play had been sitting in the corner of our bedroom for weeks--just staring at us. So, we decided to see if it works. This was our first adventure into the realm of baby gear. I am happy to report that all went well. We all survived (the pack n' play included). I don't know what was cuter--the pack n' play or Ben carefully reading all the instructions and putting together basically indestructible baby gear with such care. The pack n' play will be even cuter with a little bundle of joy in it. Thanks, Mom and Dad!



Last week we received a package from my best friend in North Carolina! Not only are the onesie and burp cloth absolutely adorable, they have little man's name on them--our first monogram! It feels odd to see his name embroidered. It makes it feel so real! Well, my ever growing mid-section also makes it feel pretty real (you'll see an updated tummy shot below). Receiving this package helps me to say to you, "It's official!" His name is Grady Benjamin.


Here is my tummy at 25 and a half weeks. Getting pretty big, huh? He is certainly growing!


One of my best friends from college made a quick trip to Waco this past weekend! It was great to spend a long time talking and laughing. It is hard to believe that we have been friends for over ten years now. We had a great time together!
