ONE YEAR

Well, we made it to the one year mark and some much has happened but only a few things that are perfect for us.
First, last year at this time, James didn't have a job. One year later, James has a job that will pay him well and keep food in our mouths and diapers on our baby.
Last year, we weren't pregnant, which is a very good thing. This year, we are expecting our first, which is a girl, and can't wait to hold her in our arms and kiss her to death.
Last year, I was working at Subway and having fun. This year, I am not able to work, due to health of me and the baby, and still having fun. Also, talking with one of my friends that I met at Subway.
That is just a few things we have noticed that can happen in just one year. We are still madly in love with each other and help each other grow and be better in life. We are still getting to know each other a bit more but we love the challenge. We had fun one day while watching tv. We watched the Newlywed game and did really well. We thought it was great how well we talk to each other and are with each other when we can be. When James is home we try to be in the same room together, just so we can be close. One year, man, a lot can happen in this second year too. I love it.

The Second baby shower

Well, I had my friend baby shower and with only a couple of people showing up, I had a great time. It was family that showed up but it was a last minute change but still really good. I had cake and sandwiches and other stuff and my friend Elisabeth is a great person for only have a week to get everything together. Thanks Elisabeth. Here are pictures of what we got from my cousin Emily and my aunt Diana and my friend.

Baby belly shots

These are just a few of the shots that we took yesterday. We had a good time. There are some more on facebook and we have more that are being developed. James and I are very excited about Lexi coming and it will be great to have her in our family.

Here are pictures of the gifts we got from our first baby shower.

This is James building the crib.

Still building the crib and sticking his tongue out at me.
He didn't even break a sweat. What a hard worker.
Still acting like it was SUPER hard work.
I told James to not be in the picture so he hid under the crib. Can you see him?

Finished crib without James in the picture.

All the gifts we got from the first baby shower. What a great family. I really thank them for what they did for us. Now we can have Lexi today and not worry about that stuff. The only problem will be the fact that I still have a few weeks left before she is suppose to be due.

First Baby Shower

Well, we just had our first baby shower and we got a lot of great stuff. As soon as James builds the crib I will take pictures of what we got and post them on here and on facebook. I just had to thank family. They are great people.

Fun dream

I had a dream last night that I hope comes true but at the same time doesnt. I dreamt that Lexi came to us on Dec.21. As some of you know, this isn't a great day for me. I have lost three people that meant a lot to me on this exact day. Also, it is a day that I saw my Grandma Holt for the last time. I want this dream to come true because it will be cool to have something good happen to me on this day but at the same time Lexi will be like 3 weeks early. She was healthy and everything so there is no worries there. The hardest thing is just knowing that she might come to us early. I would love for her to be here early but it would make that a very special day for me. I guess we will see what happens.

We got our scanner working

We finally got our scanner working so I scanned the last pictures of Lexi that we got from an ultrasound. They aren't the most recent but maybe we will get those on our next one. But here she is, the beautiful one she is.

This is her arm.
Here is her beautiful face.Here is one of her leg that LOVES to kick me.Here is the first profile shot. She loved giving the profile to us during the ultrasound. She didn't want us to know what she is.Here is the second profile shot.This is where we found out that she was a girl. It took us over 30 minutes to get her to give us a shot. She is already lady like. Man I love it.
