Preparing for Zoey

      We took several classes that were offered by our hospital to help us prepare for our new baby. We took classes on infant care, breastfeeding, CPR, and childbirthing.  These classes were very helpful as we prepare for Zoey's arrival.  If you know Colby and I well, you know if doesn't take much to get us tickled.  There were several occasions where something funny would happen and both of us would be crying tears of laughter. it would only take one of us to snicker to make the other one burst our laughing as well.  One memory was using the dummy dolls during our CPR class. I am so glad my husband and I share the same sense of humor. We now feel more prepared and are ready for this princess to make her debut!

 Infant CPR class


We try to read to Zoey as much as possible. Dakota is
now used to it and will lay down in front of us like she's 
listening.  By looking at the next few pictures, you can
see that a good night story puts her to sleep as well. :-)




Dakota now lays on my belly or snuggles up close to 
it at night. We're ready to see her with Zoey!

Hyde Park Baptist Church

      Hyde Park Baptist Church is the church that I have grown up in as a child and adult.  It is very special to me and I just love the people there. My parents got married there and Colby and I did as well.  Hyde Park was also a very special church to my Maw Maw Adams so that makes it even more special to me. On April 22nd, the church hosted a baby shower for Colby and I.  We got our first set of diapers! HAHA! We were so excited!  Below is a link to some pictures taken at the shower.   Thank you to everyone who was a part of our special day.

Happy Easter!

"My God's not dead, he's surely alive!  He's living on the inside roaring like a lion!"

  HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!  We have so much to be thankful for...especially for Baby Zoey. We spent Easter at Hyde Park Baptist, my hometown church. Then we had lunch with my family and of course, took some new pictures.  Zoey also received her first Easter gift from MiMi and Papa!

We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family! A big thanks to my mom (Zoey's MiMi) for helping me organize all of the gifts in Zoey's room.  Thank you, thank you, thank you, to everyone who was a part of our special day. We love you!

3D Dreams Ultrasound

  We had an amazing day seeing our baby girl for the first time at our 3D ultrasound.  It was amazing to be able to see all of her features.  We could distinctly see all her fingers and toes.  We even saw that she has a little bit of hair...hooray for hairbows!  3D Dreams did an also job and allowed us to view 3D and 4D images of our baby. The ultrasound tech kept saying "She has beautiful lips!"  Zoey really made us laugh by keeping one foot right beside her cheek.  She was in a split the whole time...I guess she'll be a cheerleader like mommy after all!  The tech said our baby girl would definitely be a snuggler...I know MiMi will eat that up! We were so glad that the soon to be grandparents were there to take part in the fun with us!
