24 weeks

We are getting closer and closer to entering that third trimester. It is crazy to think how fast things are going by. There are certain times when it seems like time just stands still but most of the time the weeks fly by. I am sure the waiting will become harder and harder to bear the closer I get to my daughter's arrival.

John and I are slowly getting more prepared for her grand entrance. We signed up for our birthing classes this week. We are having to do the weekend condensed version because with me working 10 hour days we cannot make it to the weekly classes. We will be taking the class in September. Not only have we signed up for that but we have also started to order and receive some of the necessities. We got her swing, stroller, and car seat this past week. We are slowly putting them together not only to make sure everything is intact but also to allow Bayla some time to get used to all the new baby things that she is not allowed to play with. We are expecting the crib, dresser and nightstand some time in the next few weeks.

Not only have we started getting a lot of the major items we have also started to get a lot of my favorite things...clothes! I just cannot help myself. Little girl clothes are the absolute cutest things around. Don't worry I am buying things in every different size under the moon but her closet is slowly filling up with pinks and such. John even got pink Dallas Stars baby clothes and accessories for his birthday. Haha, what a wonderful wife he has!

Anyways, we are not only excited for our growing family we are also extremely excited for our good friends who are expecting a son we hope to be one of Kaley's best friends...if not future husband (haha), Michael Cash Holman. I have been so blessed to be able to take this journey with one of my closest friends and we could not be more thrilled for them! We are wishing them the best and praying that little Michael holds off until Dana's finals are over and that he blesses her with a quick and easy labor and delivery!

Just another thank you to all of our friends and family who have given us so much support thus far in our lives together! We love you all.

Hey Em!

We can't wait for you to come visit in December! We've even enrolled Rosie in obedience classes to make sure she behaves herself! I'm headed to Target tomorrow to take a look at that registry (even though I already know what I'm getting) but I've already purchased a few darling outfits for our first niece. (Granted they will have to be for next summer but they are so cute to look at!) Anyhow, we are glad to hear things are going so well!
We love you and can't wait to hear more!
Love,
B2

Em,
We have to agree about how wonderful it has been to go through this amazing time with friends. It is looking like hopefully Michael will be here in time to see you- lets cross our fingers. I have a request for another belly pic eventhough I am seeing you soon!!
