* 7 WEEKS * until Nathan arrives!!

Tomorrow I will be officially 33 weeks, which means it will be 7 weeks until my due date! I cannot believe how close we are to seeing Nathan! We are so excited and can't wait to hold the little guy. We started our birthing class this past week. We have 3 more. It was really interesting, I learned a lot and Terry really liked seeing the labor and delivery room and what all was going to go on. It made things seem more real, but it also made me nervous. I am praying for a smooth labor and delivery, but you never know what can happen. I just know whatever I go through will be worth it because in the end I will have a great gift! We are almost completely done with the nursery. We still have a few things to get, but it is looking great! I have some pics below! Next week is my first baby shower. I am sooo excited, it is going to be so much fun seeing all my friends and family and getting cute baby gifts!

28 weeks!

32 weeks! SO BIG!!

His NURSERY!!

A MUCH NEEDED UPDATE!!

I haven't update in forever! It's amazing how busy you get when you are working full-time and preparing for a baby. We found out about a month ago that we are going to have a baby boy! His name is going to be Nathan Thomas Jacks. He is doing great so far. He moves all the time and he is growing bigger and bigger. We got his furniture in this past week, but we are still waiting on the bedding. I can't wait to start getting his room together! It's still somewhat unreal to me that Terry and I will be parents in 3 months. I am very excited, but very nervous at the sametime! I have been around babies and children my whole life, but I'm still scared I might not be a good Mom. I know for sure Terry will be a great Dad though. He amazes me more and more everyday with how wonderful he is! I can't wait to see Terry hold Nathan. I can't imagine anything sweeter than that! Here's some pics to update on how HUGE I am getting. I am officially 26 weeks today! One more week and I will be in my third trimester. That is sooo crazy to me!

20 weeks!

24 weeks!

**I've been taking pics every 4 weeks, so I will take another one in 2 weeks!**

*~* BABY JACKS *~*

I have been horrible at updating this thing, but I am going to try and be better! I know pretty much everyone already knows, but Terry and I are expecting our first child. It is so exciting! It's crazy to me that there is a little baby actually living inside of me! I think I have actually felt the baby move a few times, but I can't wait until I can feel him/her more. I am currently 16 weeks and on Monday I go for another doctor's appointment. We will hopefully find out the sex when I am 20 weeks! The baby is currently the size of a turnip (5in and 5 oz) or the size of your opened hand. The baby can hear me now and the sounds around me. I am sure Sophie scares the baby all the time with all her barking!! The baby is starting to get body fat and his/her eyes are starting to move. He/she can actually perceive some light, although the eyelids are still sealed. The baby is also starting to suck and swallow. I can't believe the baby is already doing so much. God is so amazing and I truly believe that all babies are a gift from Him! I cannot wait until September 15, 2010!!!! Here's some pics!

The baby at 6 weeks!

(we had another one at 8 weeks, but the pictures aren't very good!)

8 weeks pregnant!

12 weeks pregnant!

16 weeks pregnant! I have a feeling this is going to be a BIG baby!!

Felecia and Robert's Wedding!

Felecia and Robert's wedding was last Saturday, February 27th. I helped come up with a lot of the flower decorations and some of the ceremony decorations. It was cool to see everything come together. The wedding went perfectly and was beautiful. Here are some pictures of all the details!

THE END!!

Robert and Felecia's Wedding Shower!

So, I am horrible at updating this thing, but I have been so busy that I just haven't had the time. Anyway, February 13th I helped throw a Wedding Shower for my brother-in-law and new sister-in-law before their wedding on the 27th. It was a lot of fun planning a shower. I had actually never really thrown one before, so I had 14 women help me with the food. I really think I would love being a wedding/party planner. I love being creative and organizing things. The shower turned out perfectly. Here are some pictures!

The centerpiece I made for the food table.

All the yummy food!
