Could we be any hotter??? The continuation of my TR, just for fun!

[CourtneyandRyan]

Hi Everyone!!!!

I'm so excited yall were watching the game--- and I'm SO HAPPY with the end result!!!! I was nervous there for the first 3 minutes, but after that, our guys seemed to redeem themselves!! We did apply for tickets though our season ticket holder account, but they had so many requests, that we got rejected! Oh, well, it was still quite fun watching it in my pj's from my comfy couch!!!

Our season has had so many close games, that it was about time that they owed us a little breather. Though, you never know with football--- It could have gone the complete other way.

Regardless, I was so excited for them, and I'm exhausted today!!!!

Baby Emerson has started moving more and more--- Only 12 more weeks!!! It's gone slow, but in the next few months, we will be so busy, that I'm hoping the time goes by quicker! My shower is coming up, so I'm excited for that-- to be fully prepared for her arrival!!!!

And Gina35- her letters came from 3dwoodcraft.com - and I just tied the bows on the top.

Anyway--- Hope yall have a great day today! I can guarantee you that everyone on Baton Rouge is having a great one =)

Will post more belly shots soon!

HI Courtney,
Thought of you last night, as my DH and DS watched the game. DS thinks I am crazy, because I kept sayiing "I wonder if Courntey and Ryan are there."

In our house, all three of us were saying, "I wonder if Courtney and Ryan are there?"

It's been a while since I logged on and WOW the Babies Room looks gorgeous! That also great news about your conference at the Contemporary. My husband and I did two weekend getaways over the summer without the kids to Disney and it was great. You always need alone time with just the two of you. That does not mean that I didn't feel guilty about leaving the kids but you get over it. Happy Belated New Year!!

Thanks Courtney for the info on the baby bedding, and I will most definitely let you know when we are expecting. In the meantime keep us up to date with how things are going with you and baby Emerson.

Long time no post for me. I love seeing your pics of the baby. I also have an Emerson in my family. I have a 7yo nephew with the name(he is a triplet, with sisters Brianna and Savannah). If the name holds to character, your little Emerson will be a firecracker(my nephew is.........lol). Emerson's room is beautiful. Now as a neonatal nurse I am going to suggest(as we teach all our new parents) that when you put little Emerson in the crib, all that pretty stuff comes out..............boooooooooooo Dana. Really though, the bumper pads and the comforter need to come out. But, I am sure you already knew all this. Just being the nurse...............lol. You look wonderful and I know you and Ryan enjoyed your first Christmas in your new house. OH and YEAH .............Geaux Tigers..................lol.

Congrats on Emerson, thats a beautiful name, and i'm sure shes going to be BEAUTIFUL!! Bless her little soul! And that room is amazing! Hope to hear from ya soon.

Hi all~especially Courtney! I've been a little busy lately b/c my daughter had her baby on January 17th. IT'S A GIRL!! We are ecstatic. She's so adorable & I definitely am obsessed with her! Thank God everything worked out fine. She was 3 weeks early, and Kelly had to have a C-section b/c her labor wasn't progressing even with Pitocin (same as my labors) and she ended up developing a fever. Then the baby had to be in the Intensive Care nursery overnight b/c they were afraid she might have an infection. Fortunately our prayers were answered & all is well. She was 6 lbs. 1 oz. (not bad for being 3 weeks early) and 19-1/2 ins. Her name is Alexa Nicole (called Lexi). Tell your mom to BE PREPARED.....SHE IS GOING TO STEAL HER HEART!!! BTW, you give new meaning to the term "belly shots"....cute. I hope your last 8 or 9 weeks go by as quickly as you hope; get lots of rest now b/c the first week or two after Emerson is here will be EXTREMELY busy! Know we are all thinking of you and wishing you well. Can't wait to see more shots & then hear about her arrival!! ~Gina

Hi Friends!!!!

I've been thinking about you all! How's everyone doing?! Things are GREAT here! We had a sonogram today (I'm 32 weeks today), and because it's Mardi Gras, and the lady wanted to give me a Mardi Gras treat, she switched the machine to 4-D for us!!!!! So, I have wonderful pictures to post. However, it appears as though photobucket is down so I can't load them just yet.

Hopefully it will be back up tonight!!!!

Anyway- things are going great. I can't believe I only have 8 weeks left! Crazy! I'm so ready though- and so is Ryan. We just can't wait to meet her! We love her so much already!

I want to thank everyone for sticking with this thread! I really appreciate all of the "bumps" and the advise. And I love hearing about yall's baby stories too (congrats Gina!).

Let's keep our fingers crossed that photobucket comes up soon--- I promise as soon as I notice it's up, I'll post the pictures--- and the latest belly shot--- taken a few weeks ago.

I hope yall are having a great day!

 

[jackdis]

Hey girl! I know I owe you an email buh buh but ... well, whatever. I'm here. Cute belly shot. Is your belly button gone now?

Emerson looks so cute. Definitely gaining weight well. I wish they had those images back when I was prego. Oh well. I'm sure she will look totally different to you when she is in your arms!
