Earthquake!

Last night a very strange thing happened. I can tell this girl may be running out of space in the ol' belly because I looked down and can only describe what appeared to be an earthquake in my stomach. I have never seen it jerk and shake like it did for a good solid 10 minutes. It was a 8.0 on the Richter scale.


This was the conversation we had...


Me: Marin, are you ready to come out and play?
Marin: Shake, JERK, shake.


Me: Marin, are you running out of room in there?
Marin: Jerk, Kick, Jerk, Shake


Me: Marin, it's almost time for you to come out. Hang in there.
Marin: JERK JERK JERK SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE


Seriously, an earthquake...in my belly. I halfway expected a scene from alien where she would just punch her way out. Bless her.



Apparently she is the size of a butternut squash right now....which is a very fall-ish size.

29 Week Appointment

We had a doctor's appointment this morning and everything looks great! We listened to her heart beat which is always sweet!
We go back November 2 for an ultrasound to see how big she is getting. And then we are already at the point where we go every 2 weeks after that....

Mom, here's another porch pooch picture. I am huge.

Atlanta Shower

My trip to Atlanta was so much fun! I loved seeing so many friends and get in some great visits!

First, I went to the park with my friend Amanda's cute, cute girls, Hope and Hannah!

On Sunday, these lovely ladies hosted a baby shower for our Marin. Thank you so much ladies! April, thanks for opening your home!

Mary Joy is so talented! I'm a southern girl so I loved all the monogramming!

The cupcakes were delicious....I had two.

Mary Joy, thank you for all the adorable decorations.

We played "Guess the Celebrity Mom". I didn't do so bad. (Amy, catch up on the shallow news.) Kim and RaDora, I think you were in charge of the exacto knife...nice work.

It was so great to see these girls. I've known Tori since high school and Alisha since college. It was so nice to hear AND LAUGH really really hard to similiar pregnancy stories. Thanks ladies for making me feel normal!

Emily and LaDonna drove all the way from Tuscaloosa! Thank you! (Emily was in Uganda when I was there. Such a great friend!)

Fun North Atlanta Friends! Jen needs her own reality show she is so funny. And Sarah has a great blog here....hilarious writer!

I taught with these ladies at Greater Atlanta Christian School. I really miss them tons. (Amanda, thanks for letting me spend a little time with your cute girls!)

Jenny and Ronnalee! I love them and their kids!

Mary Joy, Kim, April, RaDora, and Amy, thank you again for such a wonderful shower. Marin definitely has a cuter wardrobe than me now. Geez. But it was great to see you all! I will be back soon with a little one for you to meet!

My cousin is a DADDY!!

Emilee Rae Grisham is here!! She was born this morning....10lbs 4oz and 20 3/4 long! Look at those cheeks!


The sweet daddy! Blake, you are almost as adorable. Well, actually, not even close. Emilee is just way too adorable.

And Big Andy...the old grandpa. Love you!

Everyone give her kisses for me!!!

Chinese Cabbage

According to my 28 week email, Marin is now the size of a Chinese cabbage.
