The Nursery

We had a great time getting the nursery ready for Cubbie. It all started with painting the room a pale yellow and Mom and Dad putting in new flooring upstairs as a Christmas gift - after which they filled it with furniture for Cubbie! The rocking chair was my great-grandmother's chair and one that my mom rocked me in as a baby. We did have the padding recovered, but otherwise it's in great shape and holds great sentimental value!

As Cubbie grows!

We've tried to keep track of Cubbie's growth - both via the sonogram pictures and shots of me and my ever-expanding tummy.

Baby Showers

Some of my dearest friends threw me baby showers in anticipation of Cubbie's arrival!

The first shower was given by my colleagues and friends from Texas A&M University-Commerce and we had a great time! Thank you Sharon, Mary, Donna and Casey and all in attendance!



The second shower was given by Kim Dooley (Godmother to be) and her daughters Britni and Brooke in Salado, Texas. My Dad had a ball seeing my vision through for a Giraffe made out of cupcakes! Thank you Kim, Britni and Brooke - it was wonderful!!! Very "Non-T!" (non-traditional)

Twenty one days and counting!

Wade and I are ready for baby Fish's arrival! We don't know if the baby is a boy or a girl, so we've given him/her the nickname of Cubbie. For Mamma Bear and Cubbie Bear and don't poke the Mamma Bear!!!

We hope to use this blog to upload slideshows, videos (we now have a video camera!) and keep some sort of diary on the adventures of Cubbie to share with family and friends so keep checking back for weekly postings upon arrival of Cubbie (excepted arrival date: June 19th and the OB believes Cubbie will be here that weekend!).
