OB visit of note.....

Preston, Jeff, and I had such an eventful day at the OB yesterday! Because I want to spare everyone the details, I will just say that Preston's head is facing downward and I am showing signs that this will be an easy delivery :) UNLESS, he comes before, which I am still not convinced he's not, Dr. Penebaker wants to induce me on Wednesday, August 20th!!! 33 more days.........Preston is still doing very well--which we got to SEE yesterday on the ultrasound. I never get tired of having them. He is over 5 lbs and is "way down low" to quote OB. (I have been telling everyone that!!) He even stuck out his tongue at us---very cute. My bags are packed and just can't wait to have some great news soon. Love to all!

Preston's Nursery

Even though Preston will most likely sleep in a cradle in our room when he is first born, we have his nursery all ready for him to arrive! Already, I find myself rocking in the chair imagining holding him :)

Showers of Love!

Wow! What a big weekend.......Preston had TWO baby showers!! Tiphanie Maxwell opened her beautiful home in Ruston on Saturday, and Mrs. Candace Tarver was the gracious hostess in Winnfield Sunday. Words can not describe how humbled I am to have such wonderful friends and family. I was so touched by the outpouring of love from everyone--I get teary just thinking about it (or maybe that is the hormones?) Special thanks to Amanda DeMoss, Shelly Fuqua, Jackie Grayson, Kristi Phillips, Kathleen Richard and Leslie Temple for helping out Saturday. Also to Carolyn Hanna, Lisa Price, Karen Shirley, and Lindsay Smith for their efforts on Sunday. Preston can not wait to get here and wear his new duds and play with his new toys..........

Never say never......

Well, I never would have thought I would be posing for pregnancy belly shots! However, since some have asked to see just how Preston and I look at 30 weeks, I decided to oblige. Jeff was even excited to take the picture-he said we needed some pictures of me pregnant! Hope everyone is having a great summer :)

Jeff's first Father's Day

We had a great weekend in Winnfield celebrating Father's Day! Mom, Kendal, and I sang Point of Grace's "One More Broken Heart" at FBC Winnfield this morning for my dad--I never can look at him though or I will start crying. Aunt Kendal even got Jeff his first Dad's day gift, a precious book titled "Daddies are for Catching Fireflies." Thanks Aunt Kendal! I am so grateful for all of the Christian father's who have influenced my life. Happy Father's Day to you all!

Happy 6th Anniversary

Jeff and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary this weekend. Wow! Time sure flies when you are having fun. Jeff has been out of town for two weeks attending the Graduate School of Banking in Baton Rouge, so I was mostly excited to finally have hime home Friday. (So was Preston Luke!) We celebrated Saturday night with a wonderful dinner at SAGE in Monroe and of course a TCBY yogurt cake :)

Welcome Davis DeMoss

Our good friends, Todd and Amanda DeMoss, stopped by Saturday and brought their new addition, Johnson "Davis" DeMoss. Of course, big sister Murphy was also in tow! It was so precious to see Jeff holding him, just a taste of what it will be like to see him holding Preston :)
