Baby Shower Goodies: November 15, 2009

My baby shower was November 15, 2009. It was, of course, a ladybug theme. This is the cake that my dear friend and co-worker Kara, and her sister-in-law Bre made for me. It was truly a sight and tasted good too. These girls are very talented, and go above and beyond. Thanks so much for making this day so special, and for making me this beautiful, tasty cake that I didn't want to cut and mess up.



These are the cupcakes they made for the kiddos at the shower to eat. Can you believe the time they put in on just the cupcakes. Thanks again, so much Kara and Bre!


This is the diaper cake that I assisted Kara in making. She actualluy did most of the work. I just handed her the stuff.







This is the corsage that my other dear friend and talented co-woorker Nicole made. It is made of baby socks, and of course, has lady bugs on it! I just love this! Thanks so much Nicole!



This is her baby book. We covered it and made it match her bedding and colors in her room.



There are many baby shower photos thanks to Mandy Davis's phtography skills, and Kara's camera. They will come as soon as I get them!

28 1/2 weeks

So, it's been awhile. The only recent belly pic that I have is this 28 1/2 week pic Brad took, and it's really not that recent because I am currently 32 weeks, so we really need an updatesd belly shot. My belly has grown a great deal in 4 weeks.

25 Weeks Preggo!

This is my most recent preggo belly pic. I was 25 weeks at the time of this photo. I am currently 27 weeks and next week is the dreaded glucose test for me. I don't really know much about it other than the instructions that I was given during my 26 week visit, but I hear it is not very fun. I'll let you all know how it goes.

BABY BELLY PICS

This is me @ 16 weeks.
























This is me at 22 weeks. We were getting ready to leave for the Auburn vs. West Virginia game.

Mackenzie Lynn Cotton at 18 weeks

Here are the US pics we got at 18 weeks. This is her with her little sweet legs crossed at the ankles. She was trying to hide her little parts, but we found them. We were so excited she was a GIRL, even Brad. I can't even believe she is growing inside of me. I feel her all the time now that I am almost 23 weeks. Everyone loves feeling her move around. She is very shy around her daddy (he says it's because he has a calming hand), but he's felt her kick really hard once!I went to the doctor Wednesday for my 22 week check-up. I was hoping I would get to see her again, but they just listened with a doppler. Her heartrate was 150. I saw a different doctor today, and that was fine because I had seen him before when my doctor was out before the pregnancy.

This is a shot of her sweet, little foot.

This is a profile shot of her sucking her thumb.

And, this is her profile.

Skeeter's Wedding

Stefanie (AKA- skeeter) was married saturday, August 22. This is a pic of us, me being 18 weeks pregnant. I was NOT pregnant when I ordered the dress in February, so I ordered the dress as I normally would, not accounting for the baby weight I would be gaining in months to come. So, when it came to the big day for skeeter, I made it in the dress, but it was like "fat guy in a little coat" so to speak. The wedding was beautiful, and I'm so glad I got to be apart of it. CONGRATS...

This is me, Skeeter, and my sister, Lindsey

BABY COTTON IS A...

We went to the doctor on Monday, August 24th, and found out that this precious little being growing inside of me, AKA-baby cotton, cotton-ball, cannon-cotton ball, is a sweet little GIRL...We are so excited. everyone is, especially my manly, football loving husband. After we found out, he said he was "going to the cafeteria", and he snuck to the gift shop to get a pink AUBURN shirt and matching booties. He is so proud of his little girl, and can't wait to hold her. She was being modest at first when we were trying to see if in fact she was a boy or girl, but quickly arose to the challenge. I will post US pictures as soon as i transfer them from my phone. We are so proud and blessed!
