Maternity Pictures

On June 26, 2010 we had maternity pictures taken by Katy Link Photography. I first met Katy back in the summer of 2005 at Pine Cove Christian Camps where we were both counselors. That upcoming school year we were also both in Phi Lamb at A&M. Thanks Katy for taking such great pictures!

Amoriyah Update

As of tomorrow, my due date will be exactly 3 weeks away; I can't believe she's almost here! I really don't think I've been more anxious in my entire life for anything (except for our wedding)

I actually go in tomorrow for an appointment with a midwife; I decided about 3 weeks ago to switch over from a doctor. I know; some people probably think it's crazy to switch this late, but I decided it was a better decision for me and I feel so good about it. I'm excited to see my progress tomorrow and how Amoriyah's doing :)

Here are a few pictures of her growing:

Baby Showers!

Well, there's been a lot going on over the last couple of months since I posted last. Even though it's been exhausting, it has been equally as great!

As of May 8th, we moved out of student housing into an apartment in Euless; I discovered once again why I hate moving so much!! However, my parents were gracious enough to hire us movers for the day which is really the way to go! I guess my mom figured with a 7-month preggo lady in combination with a 2nd floor apartment, someone else doing the work was better :D Since we are officially moved out of our student apartment, we are officially not students anymore!! Well, at least for now....

On May 22nd my good friends Brandi Poe and Emily Wilken hosted my first baby shower. It was great to get to see them and some people from my home town I hadn't seen in awhile. I was completely overwhelmed with everything we received for Amoriyah and truly felt blessed :) Here are a few pics from that day:














The very next weekend, we made a road trip (yes, road trip) all the way up to Indianapolis for another baby shower hosted by Brandon's mom, Renee, and his grandmothers. Once again, I was completely blown away by everyone's generosity and the blessings poured out on us. Pictures are below:







On June 13th, my sweet sister-in-law Angela hosted another shower for all our church/local friends to attend. It was a great way to spend Sunday afternoon! A few of those moments captured in the pics here:







Thanks so much to all these ladies for their hard work and effort into putting together all of this! We truly appreciate you and it means so much to us :D
