BaBy UpDaTe!!

What a busy month June has already been.

As most of you know, I have resigned from teaching and very much look forward to staying home with Baby Baker:) However, leaving my HMS family was much harder than I ever anticipated. For the past 6 years they have played such an important part in my life and I have many wonderful memories that I take with me! I had the awesome opportunity of learning from the best and couldn't have asked for better mentors to guide me as I embarked on my teaching adventure back in 2004. So, when I moved out of my classroom June 4th and 5th it was quite a bit more emotional than I thought. Saying goodbye was much more difficult than I had ever imagined. But now, I am so looking forward to what is ahead and can't wait the arrival of little BB!

But first, Mom and my good friend Stephenie helped me move out of my classroom. In true mom style she had to capture the whole thing. So, here's a pic from the day:

Please excuse the BRIGHT orange shirt...it's one of the few I have left that still fits!!

Once we got me all moved out it was time to focus on BB's room! Mom and I spent the week sewing and have just a few things left to do. Here is a sneak peak of the nursery and our adventures as we attempted to pull it all together.

All the fabric...

Mom and I sewing away, even late at night...

And, it is beginning to take form...

So far, so cute! Can't wait to see if all pulled together:)

Lastly, since Chris was unable to make the sonogram appointment last week Mom got to see Little BB with me! Unfortunately, we didn't get any great pictures this time as my stubborn child, can't imagine where s/he gets that from, wouldn't move to allow their face to be seen. So, this is what you get...fortunately, we will have our next one in a little over 2 weeks and hopefully BB will be a little more cooperative!

But, BB is doing really well and growing perfectly! I am currently scheduled to deliver around August 26, but I wouldn't be surprised if they move up the date a little if BB keeps growing at the current rate. We will have to wait and see! In the mean time, I am enjoying every moment of being pregnant and just know it is such a blessing and miracle!

Where Did May Go?

Wow! Can't believe I haven't updated since April...time really flies when your having fun.

So, here are a few updates from the past month and a half...

• End of April we went away to Possum Kingdom to enjoy a weekend away and celebrate Chris' 30th birthday.
• In May, we had our friends and family over to officially celebrate Chris' birthday....welcome to the club, Honey!
• On May11, my students threw me a fabulous shower...so cute! Later, another class also put together a small shower.
• The weekend of May 15 we traveled to Houston to attend our nephew Cole's 4th birthday...what fun we had...coolest party ever!
• On May 26, the teachers I worked with threw me a fabulous baby shower! We were so blessed to receive so many wonderful things...Baby Baker is going to be spoiled!!!

Here are a few pics to sum up the month -

Heading out to dinner, but first a picture from our balcony at Possum Kingdom...it was a beautiful weekend!

Cole's Dinosaur Party at the museum...very cool! And, he was so very brave to hold the snake.

I think this burp cloth pretty much sums it up!

Thanks Ladies and all my other HMS friends!
