1) It's starting to look a lot like Christmas in my house!!! I told Jeff that we have to get the tree up and start decorating because it will be Lily Jane's first Christmas and who knows when she will come!!!! So excited to be on the countdown!!

2) This week I packed Lily Janes, her Daddies, and my hospital bag. It is getting so real and close... I have 3 weeks left :) She can come anytime. I also ordered this adorable door hanger that I am going to put on the hospital..I can't wait to teach Lily Jane to love god and take her to church. Going to Church on Sundays and worshiping god is one of the many things I cherish each and every week!!!

Baby Shower!

This past weekend we drove down to West Palm Beach for a baby shower. My dad and step mom wanted to throw us a shower with all family and their close friends. It was a 7 hour drive so I started to get really uncomfortable.  I was having a lot of Braxton Hicks and I was starting to get really worried. Even though I am only at 35 weeks I was scared something could happen. I was glad to get home and be in my little safe spot incase she decides to come early.  Overall, the shower was amazing and my Step mom spent many many hours and a lot of hard work for this adorable baby shower. Lily Jane is already so spoiled :) 

Cute Diaper Cake 

Love all the PINK!!!

Jeff was so excited about onesie :) His first shower

My Step Mom 

Hubby and I

One of my favorite days of the week is FRIDAY!!! I love doing this link up party and the fact that it is the weekend!!!


I am so happy that Stanford beat Oregon... It's looking like FSU might be going to the BCS National Championship!!!!!!!!!

1) We are heading out of town to visit my dad in West Palm for a baby shower for Lily Jane. I hope that I make it 7 hours...I am starting to get very uncomfortable and huge :( I use to be a great car rider and would just go to bed but not these days I am all over the place and we have to stop a lot.......

2) One of my best friends that lives in Boston booked a plane ticket to come visit me and meet Lily Jane in January so we are very excited.. I can't wait to see her. The last time I saw her was for our wedding 2 years ago :(

3) Since it is football and fall and all my friends and husband are always having a nice cold beer or wine I thought I needed to find something, so lately I have been loving Apple Cider. I will drink it cold in a wine glass, hot and Sparking Apple Cider :)  It is so yummy!!!

4) Last weekend we went to the FSU vs. Miami Game and it was so much fun expect I was exhausted. The game did not start until 8 and thats normally when I am getting my PJs on and laying in bed, but some how I made it. Was so excited that FSU won :) 

5) This week I also bought Lily Jane a coming home outfit and I can't wait for it to come in :) You will have to wait to see pics when she comes home!!!!
