In less than a month

We bought a house! David and I have been praying, waiting, contemplating, talking, and did I mention praying? We have been talking about moving all summer, but really didn't have any direction on where to go, so we just decided we would wait and stay put. Then (randomly) through a series of events, we found the PERFECT house for us!!! We put an offer in, it was accepted, and we were clear-to-close all in a matter of 10 days. On October 1st, we closed on our house! :) Just in case you were wondering, yes, you read that correctly, and yes, that means we MOVED while I am not only pregnant, but 37 weeks pregnant at that!!!

Let me just say one thing: WE HAVE THE MOST AMAZING FRIENDS!!!!! Our friends gathered at our the duplex early on Saturday morning of October 5 and we moved everything to the new house all in one day. Seriously, when I say amazing friends, it is completely an understatement. I was pretty useless (and still am), but they all looked out for me and baby. I was in charge of food & drinks. :)

My mom came over to help unpack, and unpack she did!!! We have ZERO boxes left in the house and everything has a place. Our new house is truly a home. We couldn't have done it without her! 

Here is the front door, all ready for fall! 

We are officially ready for baby!!!!!!!!!!! :) 

Showered in North Louisiana

David and I have been overwhelmed in the past couple of months with the amount of love that has already been poured out for our baby girl! In the month of September, we had three baby showers! 

This was the baby shower that the Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission hosted for the two of us. We had a great time and absolutely loved the decorations, gifts & the great parenting advice. :) 

The next shower was hosted by dear friends from Shreveport! The food was unbelievably delicious and the company was even better! It really was a great time had by all. 

The last shower was hosted by our church family. I totally didn't get any pictures, but you can rest assured, it was amazing! They had a mexican themed luncheon for us and the church literally showered us with all kinds of gifts.

Seriously, this precious child is so very loved and we all are awaiting her debut! Oh, how we can not wait!!!!
