Great End of the Summer...

What a great past few weeks we have had! Between enjoying a fun visit from our niece in VA, celebrating birthdays, and having parents come out here and spend wonderful time with us, we have been having a great summer! This past weekend, while enjoying a great visit with Andy's parents, the ladies from Mom Fisher's former Bible study group here (back when they were still living out here in CA) threw the most wonderful, sweet, and generous shower for Baby Button. It was such a wonderful time with such a wonderful set of ladies, we couldn't have had more fun! Button is by far going to be the best dressed baby as well...The cutest pink and white items ever~So incredibly fun and girly!!!:) Here are a few pictures of us from recent weeks (you can see the belly getting bigger and bigger!

Button's room is coming along...!

Today we finally got the shutters installed in the nursery in order to close off the open loft overlook of downstairs and create a full fourth wall in that room...After much banging and hammering, the workmen finished and now Button has a real room that she will soon call her own! So exciting!;) We can't wait to get it all shaped up with the decorations on the wall and baby gear in its place~It is so special to realize she is going to be here so, so soon!!

Whoo Whoo Heee....;)

So we officially know how to breathe now...and a whole LOT of other stuff;)! We completed our 12 hours of Childbirth Preparation/Lamaze classes this past weekend, so I guess now we are ready! (well, in that sense at least!) Andy has definitely already proven to be the best coach ever just from these practice sessions, and I know even much more so in real life just 10 weeks away! It definitely was very helpful for both of us to learn what to expect once the big day comes~That the scene in movies of the lady delivering her own baby in the car on the way to the hospital is not very realistic at all or likely to need to be a worry of mine!:) So it was both reassuring and comforting to now be better prepared and ready, yet also to mention a little on the intimidating side to realize the pain part as well! ...BUT, will be soooo completely worth every little bit of it to bring our precious Button into our family!! We so can't wait!!!

3rd Trimester, Hooray!

Well, today officially marks the 3 month-to-go countdown until November 2! I guess that means we are soaring right along into the 3rd and final trimester! Each and every day that goes by leads to further excitement and special anticipation of our wonderful new addition to our family that is soon to join us!
Many people have been asking about her name and what we have decided on....We have had a lot of fun brainstorming names and hunting through baby name books together throughout the past months, and finally have one now that is at the top of our list that we both really love. BUT, as we love surprises and have already let out the surprise that she is a girl, we decided that it is more fun to keep her name a secret until the day she arrives! So, her nickname, Button, will be sticking around a little while longer!:)
