Birmingham Baby Shower!


A few weekends ago was my baby shower in Birmingham hosted by my sister in law, Kristin, and one of my best friends, Elise. It was so sweet to have family and friends together to celebrate Isabel's soon arrival! I could have cried about it! Thank you Rachel for taking pictures at the shower! 

Meg, Jenna, and Rachel came down from Nashville and Louisville! I'm so glad they were able to come! A lot has changed in almost ten years since our college days at MTSU! 

 Another friend for Isabel coming in July! 

Brad is going to be a wonderful dad! Can't wait!

Publix has the best cakes! 

Love my sweet niece! 

Harper, Campbell, and Ella Grace were the entertainment! 

Aunt Mary, Jeani, Ms. Moore, and Elise

Elise and Dana. Missing a few! 

Mom smocked this dress for Isabel! It matches one she smocked for Harper! I can't wait to get pictures of them in their matching dresses! 

Sarah (SIL), Lynn (MIL) and Laura (Mom's BFF) 

Mom and I

With the hostesses! 
I wish I would have thought to get a picture of everyone! I am so thankful for family and friends who came!

Week 12 to 28

Well, here I am again. Almost four months without an update. So, lets get right to it.

October: I finally stopped hugging the toilet and started to enjoy life and being pregnant.
November: Found out we are having a girl! Isabel Ruth Cleveland!
December: Brad graduated, accepted the position as Pastor of Worship at Lyons Creek Baptist Church in Knoxville, TN, and we moved!

The first three weeks of 2012 and have been busy, too! We bought a house and moved in last Thursday night! My wonderful mom came to Knoxville and helped us unpack! I think I would still be stepping over boxes if it wasn't for her! If I had any doubt before I now know for sure who I get my desire to have everything neat and organized from! I haven't taken any pictures yet but maybe I'll post some soon! I love everything about our house, our neighborhood and the great church community that is now our home.

Back to baby stuff...
I passed my one hour glucose test last week! I met my new doctor and her staff and although I never thought I would say this I'm really excited about having Isabel at UT medical center. (Although all things orange will be disposed of before we leave the hospital :)) Brad and I will be attending the childbirth classes in March. So my big pregnant self will be sitting in class at 34 and 36 weeks pregnant. As long as Isabel doesn't come early we'll be fine!
Isabel has been measuring right on time with a strong heartbeat! Her movements are getting more frequent and she loves to snuggle up on my left side. My pregnancy has been textbook. I am very thankful to have had no complications so far and I hope it stays that way.
I haven't had any cravings, but I still love everything with cheese on it. I've always loved cheese but I think my pregnancy has just heightened that desire.

My sweet friends in North Carolina had a baby shower for me before we moved. Here are a few pictures from my first baby shower!


I'm so proud of him! 

We had a great time with family for Thanksgiving and Christmas! I didn't take a lot of pictures and the ones I did take were of  Harper! So, enjoy this cutie!


Cousins!

Here's Harper and Uncle Brad having fun during Thanksgiving. I started taking the video after this had been going on for several minutes. So, although Harper looks like she could do this for hours, Brad was a little tired! And...its sideways.
