ONE WEEK AND counting...

As November 17th draws closer, Jonathan and I are becoming very anxious.  I am hoping for anyday now...but I know he will arrive when he is ready.  We have the nursery all set up and my best friend was so sweet to throw us a shower last Sunday, where we got alot of diapers and essentials that we needed.  We will keep everyone updated as things happen.  :)  

We had our first baby shower last weekend!  It was so much fun and we got alot of things that I know we will put to good use.  Thank you to our hostesses....Molly, Linda, Peggy, Kristen, Susan, Caroline, Brittany, Gwenda, and Bethany.  

I'm now about 6 months pregnant...the due date is quickly approaching!  ~November 17th~

We bought our first home today....very excited!  Jonathan had to fill out all the paperwork for me since I'm out of the country, but everything went well.  Its a little bit scary but I know we are going to love it.  Our apartment/townhouse has been ok for us this past year, but now that we are starting a family, we really need to be not only in a bigger place, but a more family friendly environment.  

Pregnant in Italy

Jonathan and I are both very excited about the new addition to our family.  This summer so far, Jonathan and I have been seperated from eachother which has been really alot tougher than either one of us thought.  I'm in Italy with the University of Alabama Art History group, directing the program and teaching art history.  We have been to Florence, Venice, next week is Rome.  Its been fun, but the eating while pregnant in Italy has proven very difficult....alot of pasta and water.  I'm now 41/2 months pregnant, not quite showing substantially but definately with the baby bump.  At this point I am one more week away from being home and back with Jonathan!
