photos {spencer's basketball game}

a couple of shots from spencer's basketball game yesterday. his team lost (again) but this was their closest game yet. his team only had five kids show up so they all had to play the whole game.

friday night, matt and i went to dinner for a friend's birthday. this was probably our last nice dinner out before coleman's arrival. we went to oceanaire seafood room in charlotte. i really enjoyed the overall feel and ambiance of the restaurant. we had seven courses of food and i cleaned my plate each and every time (so did everyone else, so it wasn't just the fat pregnant lady piggin' out!).

this picture is horrid. i can't believe i'm even posting it.

one of our appetizers - lobster, crab, mussels, oysters, shrimp...

photos {baby shower}

Saturday was my baby shower. We had a packed house. It was great to be surrounded by family and friends excited to welcome Coleman into this world. We were blessed to receive so many wonderful gifts.

Gifts from my mom - could they be any cuter???

Who even cares what's inside when the packages are so adorable!

365 {week 4}

a few recent 365 shots...

{36 weeks}

4 more weeks ~ 28 more days ~ 90% there...

Baby Coleman: Weight is probably around 6 pounds and length should be around 18-20 inches. Growth should start to slow down a bit at this point. Most systems are mature or nearing maturity. Wanna know what the doctor thinks??? His prediction is that he'll weigh about 7 lbs 10 ounces at birth. We'll see....

Baby's Mama (that's me!): I'm feeling about the same - no major updates there - just uncomfortable and annoyed that I can't wear most of my shoes. My baby shower was on Saturday and that was wonderful!! I'll have a separate post on that later. My doctor's appointment was today (with my favorite doctor). He was able to name my chest pain - costochronditis (the spelling might not be exact, but it's close). Basically it's inflammation of the sternum area. It is common in pregnant women and should go away after delivery. Meanwhile, not much I can do other than taking Tylenol. The doctor said not to worry about my lack of contractions - perfectly normal for some women not to have any until real labor hits. Not much else to report!

digi layout {28}

turns out that digital scrapbooking is a nice, low energy activity for an exhausted pregnant chick.
i can't take much credit for this at all - the layout was already complete...colors and all. i just added my photos and journaling. pictures are from 2006.

digi layout {mom's birthday}

here's another one i just did...more old pictures (mom's birthday in 2005). i'm kind of proud of this one just because i actually figured out how to add a few things to the template :)

digi layout {football}

in my extreme laziness today, i've sat in matt's recliner, watched dvr'd shows and goofed around with some digital templates. here is a layout i just created with very old photos - football game from 2005.

photos {croppin' with my sista}

This past Saturday, my sister and I were supposed to attend an all-day crop in Charlotte. Unfortunately, we arrived to find out it'd been cancelled (and we hadn't been notified). So, we improvised and spent the day at Sherry's dining room table instead.
