To my Sweet Baby Boy, You're getting so big! Your Papa and I were so excited to see you at the ultrasound appointment last week (To Hubs, What a treat that you actually made it!). What did we find out while we are there?: 1. You love to keep your hands near your face...which makes good pictures a little hard to take; 2. You are still breech, with your head in the center of my rib cage and your feet on top of my bladder (but I'm told there is still plenty of time for you to turn); and 3. You look just like your Papa! My dream come true! :) 29 weeks down, 11 more to go!
To the Nursery, You are finally starting to come along! I thought it was progress when we had a completely empty, cleaned out room, but now... the crib is put together, the rug is down, and some of the other furniture is in. I know there is still a lot to be done, but part of me feels like now we are just waiting on a baby! Thank you to all of our friends and family who have already generously given to us and shared in our excitement. Our cup is overflowing with blessings!
To the Fritz Four, I loved our impromptu afternoon together on Saturday. Who knew that Me + Handsome Hubby at the store with a crib box that didn't fit in our SUV = an incredible afternoon with friends! Thank you for your willingness to serve and help out some poor pitiful parents-to-be and bring a truck to rescue us! We had a blast with you all...moving furniture, hanging out at Target/Babies R Us, eating Mellow Mushroom for dinner, and hitting up your favorite yogurt place for dessert. This pregnant lady crashed when she got home... :)
To Handsome Hubby, I have finally reached that point... you know, the point where I can no longer comfortably cut my own toe nails. Thank you for your willingness to help me. Believe me, having your husband clip your toes nails is very humbling. And thank you also for helping me clean up the spills in my lap that I can no longer see. Sometimes I feel like an invalid! So, thank you in advance for all the toenail clipping, mess-cleaning, back rubbing, foot messaging... I am so blessed to have you as a husband and I am grateful for all that you do!

Hot Chocolate and Beignets at Cafe' Du Monde
To February, I blink, and you are almost over! What happened?? I think the weekend organization overhaul/nesting projects and going to sleep earlier has made time fly so fast! Here's to cherishing even the little moments and not being caught up in the craziness of preparation before this little one arrives!
To my Baby Boy, You are definitely getting bigger! A whole 2.5 lbs already and you still have 12 weeks to go...eeek! We have an ultrasound on Wednesday (plus my first childbirth class at the hospital), and I can't wait to see you. You will be so much bigger than the last time we got to take a peak!
To Caitie-bug, I loved getting to see you at your baby shower a few weeks ago! I'm just loving that your little Baby S and my Baby Boy will be so close in age! Hang in there...only about 4 weeks to go!
To Weathergirl and Hurricane Hunk, It's a little late, but thanks for a wonderful time in New Orleans a few weeks back. I really enjoyed traveling with you two, eating amazing food, and celebrating at the wedding.  Thank you to you both for putting up with the ever-hungry pregnant woman...To Elizabeth- your wedding was BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you for including us in your incredible celebration! 
To the Papa-to-Be, Even after all you do at the hospital, you have been the most supportive husband a girl could ask for. Thank you for spending your free time helping me check off things on my to-do list, especially with all your help registering for baby things yesterday! I can't wait to be a parent with you to mini-Aaron. ;) From the kicks to the ribs I have been getting pretty regularly, I think he might be a great soccer player like his papa! P.S. It's funny that you are helping me eat the Valentine's day chocolate...who would have thought that you would ever enjoy chocolate truffles?! :)

Weathergirl and I (and Hurricane Hunk) out to breakfast at the Ruby Slipper. It was wonderful!!

To the newly married couple- you looked so happy! :) Many wishes for a future full of blessings!
