9 Weeks

Wow, I have never been so tired in my life. All I want to do is rest/sleep. It's crazy. I have never been one to take naps...but now I will take them any chance that I get. Also, the last few days I have been feeling really crappy. Nausea 24/7. For a couple of the days my body was achy, like I was getting/fighting off the flu. No fun! But I am better now, just the normal nausea. It's all worth it though, for our precious baby!!

I thank God for giving me such an awesome husband. Nathan has been so great ever since we learned that we are pregnant. He is so thoughtful and considerate of how I am feeling all the time, it's amazing. I am so happy that I have him by my side. It's a very exciting time in our lives and I can't wait to experience parenthood with the most amazing man in the world!!! I am confident that we are going to be great parents. We've always dreamed of having a baby, and we are so blessed to have our dream come true!!!! I am excited to watch my wonderful husband become a daddy. It's going to be great!!!

And needless to say, our baby sure is going to be spoiled!!! Between us, grandparents and friends - better watch out!! Saturday Nathan, LeeAnn and I went to the Martin HS craft fair. There was baby stuff EVERYWHERE! It was fun to look at, but frustrating at the same time. We wanted to buy so much stuff, but couldn't because we don't know if Baby Hall is a boy or a girl. =] That's okay, though. We will find out all in God's perfect timing. LeeAnn bought a really cute blanket for Baby Hall. It has the prettiest colors and has monkeys on it. So cute! And then she bought me a "Pregnancy" scrapbook. Can't wait to fill it in with pictures. I bought a new charm for my charm bracelet. The only thing I could find that was baby related was a high chair. It's adorable, though. I also found my cousin's baby a really cute onesie and headband!! Score! After a couple hours at the craft fair we headed on to our next adventure. BABIES R US!! Wow, awesome but overwhelming. We spent 3 hours just looking around. That place is amazing. So much stuff!!! We picked out a few things that we'll definitely be going back for. Nathan and I bought a stuffed monkey (adorable), a neutral colored pajama set,  some socks and a few other things. LeeAnn bought some bibs, an ornament and I can't remember what else. It was a blast!!!  Come January/Feb - Canton better watch out. We will be on a mission!!!!!!!!!

Sunday we spent most of the day transforming the Guest room into our nursery. We cleaned out the dresser and put those clothes in the attic. Nate moved his gun safe out. I organized our closet and packed some stuff for the attic. Nate moved out an old tv and some other things. We made some progress, but still have a long road ahead of us.

Today I had lunch with Holly. She bought Baby Hall his/her first Ranger shirt and socks. They are so cute!! Picture below. Since Mommy and Daddy are big Rangers fans, Baby Hall will probably attend his/her first Ranger game at just a few months old I am sure. Go Rangers!!

That's what we have been up to lately. We have a busy weekend ahead of us. Friday (not sure yet), Saturday - 2 photo shoots, Texas Country Reporter Festival, baby shower...Sunday - Church and my Grandma's birthday party gathering. Lord give me strength!!!!

Have a great week!
