Prego Pics & a Painting

I'm finally adding some new prego pics for November & December. Hard to believe I'm 33 weeks and Bennett's arrival is just around the corner. This has been a great pregnancy, and I am so thankful.

November-Thanksgiving holiday

Christmas Eve, no belly shot in December

Not as much time on my hands with the second pregnancy to remember everything that you do with your first!!

Look at this beauty...a Christmas gift from my parents. Guess who painted it, the most talented gal I know, Jamie Leah!! I am so proud of it. It's hanging in our entry way and I look at it each time I pass through. She can paint anything and I can't wait to see the canvas's for Bennett's nursery. I'm going to do a post sometime with pics of all the paintings J's done for me. I remember telling her a long time ago that I'd love to have her art hanging throughout my home. If you are interested in having some custom artwork done, please let me know and I'll pass along her info.

Big Announcement

We have decided on a name for our sweet, baby boy...

BENNETT WILLIAM

Bennett means, "little blessed one", and we feel just that about him. A true blessing from above whom we cannot wait to meet, hold, smell, give kisses and the list could go on and on.

William means, "resolute guardian". Both of my grandfathers are named William. I have included a picture of George William, my Papa, and his first great grandson, Brooks. He is very sick right now and most likely will be watching down from heaven when Bennett is born. My heart aches at the thought, because Papa and Brooks have the sweetest relationship and I wish Bennett could have the same. One day they WILL!! My grandaddy, William Alfred, passed away when I was a freshman in high school. I know that he would love my boys to pieces and would be tickled to have one of them named after him.

We chose another "B" name because Bennett needed to have the same initials as his daddy, his brother, and his Pop'O(Bob).

On March 1st at 7:45am, we will become a family of four. I am now in full baby mode. The nursery is set up and in the process of being decorated. I'm having a lady make his bedding, meeting with a painter this week, and Jamie is working on some artwork for his room. I'm panicking a little about not having everything ready before he gets here. Eekkk...
