Three Weeks Old

How Momma and I rang in the New Year...Daddy had to wake us with a kiss at midnight...

Three weeks old...with my Lion that we bought for him at FAO Schwartz in NYC...its been waiting on Gavin to arrive! Love his wild man hair!

Headed to the Doctor's Office...

First trip out of the house on Friday to visit the pediatrician. Gavin weighed in at 7lbs, 14 oz and had a very good visit with Dr. McGhee.

He's Here!

So the question was who would arrive first....Santa or Baby Boy...well Santa is a very distant second! On midnight Saturday, December 12th, a very unexpected event started with a movie like scene.....of "Matt....Matt....my water just broke!" and from there we quickly finished packing the bags for the hospital and headed to Kennestone. And of course on the way...Matt speeds through a very yellow light :) ....then the blue lights start flashing...well...he needs to tell you the rest of that story! At 2:30 pm Sunday, December 13th we welcomed the sweetest Christmas present....Gavin Thomas Steele to our little family.

The Grandmothers checking him out....

Almost 36 Weeks

Thursday is the 36 week mark but as you can see the counter on the sidebar says we only have 30 days until the due date. Exciting but scary....We had our last two week Doctor's appointment today and everything seems to be right on track. Matt enjoyed meeting Dr. Espy who is a fellow Tech grad and was recently featured in the Tech alumni magazine. They gladly joked about the percentages of me going into labor during the ACC championship game!

Here are a few pictures for your enjoyment....sorry the lighting is not the best...

Yes, the belly is huge...and sigh...it will only get bigger...

Getting Ready for Little Man

The crib is together just need to do the finishing touches on the nursery. Started washing his things...started Christmas shopping...and trying to finish those last items on the to do list all while trying to rest as much as possible. But for now enjoying a moment on the couch, watching my belly bounce around. I'm going to miss these special moments....just mommy and baby....

Baby Showers

We have been extremely blessed with great families and friends....but lately its been unbelievable and we are so thankful. There is no way we can ever pay back the love and gifts this little man has already received. Matt has everything from our showers put together...swing, bouncer and now we are just waiting to finish the maternity pictures to put together the crib. Here are a few pictures from the baby showers...wonderful food and yummy cakes. I wish I had a piece now :)

The belly seems to be growing daily! The past few days, I have felt a little more uncomfortable as Baby Boy keeps adjusting his position and trying to stretch out as much as he can. Hopefully we can work together to make it just 7 more weeks....but this little wiggle worm never stops!

Thank you ladies for two wonderful showers!

Girls' Weekend

Girls' Weekend...turned into Girls' Week thanks to my awesome hubby! We had a wonderful time relaxing on the beach....eating at some wonderful restaurants....shopping of course :) Really could handle relaxing on the beach more often....and visiting Charleston!

I love all the iron gates and beautiful churches of Charleston...
