We've been a little busy!

Now that I am officially a stay at home mom I am hoping that I might possibly find time to update our blog. Here is a brief summary of what we have been up to since my last post:

Mac (Ronald Fred IV) was born on December 10th at 1:00am. He weighed 7lbs 4oz and was 21 and 3/4 inches long:

A week after Mac was born (on Dec. 19th) I was a bridemaid in my bestie Katie's wedding:

Mac's first Christmas:

My brother got engaged on New Year's Day:

In May we took our camper to Gatlinburg for a long weekend. Mac had so much fun hiking that he fell asleep!

Mac slept in a tent on one of the beds in the camper.

On Father's Day we spent the day playing in my parents' pool. Needless to say I don't think the sun touched Mac:

(6 months)

In June we went Vegas for my Aunt Dani's baby shower and Mac's first trip on an airplane (Of course we were in first class):

(The nicest flight attendant ever!)

We were literally home for 5 days in the month of July. First we went to Keaton Beach for the 4th and Mac took his first boat ride:

Then we came home for a couple of days before heading to Amelia Island for a Banking Conference. Mac loved being out on the beach!

(7 months)

From Amelia Island we were home for 2 days and then headed to Ireland to celebrate my mom's 50th birthday. I'll do a separate post for the Ireland trip.

Life has been super busy for us, but we have enjoyed every minute! Here are some more pictures of Mac at each month:

Here are a couple of pictures that we had taken right when he turned 7 months at the Picture People at the Mall:

T-Minus 2 Weeks!!

We only have 2 weeks left until the baby is due! With that being said, here is the disarray that our house is currently in:

The Nursery

(at least I finally have a mattress with a sheet, a rug on the floor, and curtains)

The Living Room/Office

(Full of all of our big purchases and items that still need to go in the attic)

My Wonderful Husband

(at least he is helping me unpack gifts and making me laugh!)

Did I mention that we had 4 baby showers in the past week? Hopefully I will get everything washed, put away, and organized over this long weekend! If anyone is bored feel free to stop by!

The Nursery

Phase One of the baby nursery (aka - me painting the room with my dad while wearing this very special mask that he let me borrow).

Phase Two - The furniture arrives and Ron puts it all together in about 30 minutes (I have a very handy husband).

Phase Three - Once the furniture was arranged, Ron and I finally picked out black and white bedding that we both liked. You won't see it in the picture, but we now have a mattress so the finished product will have a red mattress between the bumper and crib skirt. (No, it is not going to be a UGA themed nursery)

Phase Four - Decorating! Now we need to figure out what to put on the walls. We have space above the crib, the dresser and between the two windows. We also need a super cute rug, I'm thinking either black and white or red. Any suggestions? We only have 7 weeks left until my due date, so I am feeling a slight rush to get it all finished!!

Once we have everything completely done I will be sure to post more pictures!!

Joining the Blogging World!

After much persistance from some of the best friends...I am finally joining the blogging world! Here are some great shots from my baby shower last weekend. Can't wait to welcome our first baby to the world in just a few months!
