Family


My brother is in Peru on a mission trip for 10 days so my mom, sister & I went to Birmingham to spend some time with his wife Jennifer & my nephew Rollins. We had a great time playing with the baby. He is 18 mos. & is communicating so much more than he was just a month ago when I saw him. He & his "rahrah" (Sarah) rode the escalator up & down, up & down while the girls did some shopping & it amazed me how we did it over & over yet he still was having a ball. He is such a happy baby & I know I'm a little biased bc he is my nephew but he's alot of fun & I think he's one of the cutest kids I've ever seen (I said I was a little biased, but he is:)


Jennifer is pregnant too & is due about 2 1/2 weeks before me so I loved being around an "expert" parent. I picked her brain on feedings & schedules. She took me to target so that I could put the "all mothers must haves" on my registry. We went fabric shopping, on walks & I really enjoyed spending time with her. I stole this picture from her but will have Ryan upload some more pics when he gets home for me.

Sleep Deprived

So I'm pretty sure that I won't get any sleep once the baby gets here. For the life of me, I cannot understand why I can't sleep now. It probably doesn't help that I get up every 3 hours to pee or that my child sits so high in my belly that I can feel her when I breathe & sometimes I just wake up hungry:)

My mom says that God is preparing my body for the lack of sleep that is to come but I think I should be storing it now.
