Counting Down!!

Our little girl is considering FULL TERM!

We are now at two & half weeks and counting (15 days to be exact!). I have no ambitions that she will be coming early, so it seems I will have plenty of time to get the house ready, my substitutes ready for DSCS, and finish reading all of those baby books!!

For those of you following about the name, I think we have officially decided on:

Brooklynn Grace Bebee

Although I suppose nothing is final until it is on the birth certificate! But I did purchase some letters to put on the wall for her initials: BGB! I promise to include pictures once I'm finished with the project.

No other news to report, except that I DID take down my Christmas decorations today! I figured if I didn't get on it quick, Brooklynn would be very confused about what month she was born in if all the pictures had Christmas decorations in the background! Thank you all for your love and support during this time!!! We seriously can't wait for the new addition to arrive!!

Brookelyn Bebee

Brooklynn or Brookelyn? We are definate on the name, but the the spelling and middle name are still being debated! But here are some pictures of our sweet little girl and her nursery (which her loving dad will be sharing as an office/nursery! - gotta love seminary!!).These are all from our week 20 sonogram! We now have 4 weeks and 1 day until the due date!!!

The nursery!!

The bed came from our good friends the Crofts, the bedding as a baby gift from my momma, and the beautiful hand-made quilt is from Ryan's mom Debbie! We love you all SO much and can't wait to put our little girl in her new bed!!

Good friends Corrie Ann and Kristen Booth completely redid this dresser for the nursery. It involved an entire Saturday of stripping the wood, priming, painting and destressing! And now it's AWESOME!!!

We promise to keep you updated as we approach the delivery date!! Still feeling great and thankful for the Lord's goodness in this pregancy!! We are so amazingly blessed!

Throwback to 2003 Camp Buckner

You seriously have to check out this Teen Girl Squad Episode...and for those from camp, it will remind you of better times!!! My favorite: what was being celebrated on yearbook picture day......

4th Anniversary Trip!

Ryan and I took a mini-vacation to celebrate our four years of marriage!! (It also was our little baby-moon!!) I am extremely thankful for the Lord's goodness in giving me Ryan James Bebee as a husband. I am completely undeserving, and the Lord continue to show His faithfulness to us in our marriage and in our growth.

So to Cincinnati:

The first day we visited the Freedom Museum that featured information about the underground railroad and the history of slavery in America. I would recommend this stop to ALL that go to Cincinnati as it was informative, sobering, and very well constructed! It gives you a great picture into this dark time of our history and makes you appreciate the freedom we now have.

On New Year's Eve we went to Newport on the Levee to visit the Newport Aquarium, then to a movie and hanging out! It even snowed on us on the way to the Aquarium!!

Ryan wore his UT apparrel to spite the Ohio State fans in Cincinnati! He got a few weird looks, but nobody had the guts to take him on! (as dictated from Ryan...)...But don't forget to cheer for Texas on January 5th!

At the aquarium we loved seeing all of the animals...

But the kids all enjoyed the plastic reindeer that were spread throughout the aquarium. You would hear the shouts, "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM....it's a reindeer!!!"

We enjoyed eating out thanks to some great students at DSCS and their loving Christmas gifts!! The trip was a great break away from everything for a little while, and to celebrate our marriage as we enter into this new season of our lives!

Good friends of ours Josh and Christina kept Bella on our trip. Bella played to her heart's content with their welsch corgi, Oliver. Bella was so exhausted that as soon as we got home she was passed out on the couch, and was out of it the rest of the night!

Happy 2009 to all of you!!!!

(And especially thanks for still checking the blog after over a year of inactivity...but skeptics, you can stop holding your breath! :o)
