Jennifer's Baby Shower

Whew! I can barely reach across both of our bellies.

Soon to be a Grandmama!

Baby Rylee

We went up to Southaven to a baby shower for Grady's sister Jennifer this weekend. Lots of food and presents! And candy shaped like baby feet! Watching Jenn open her presents, I learned a lot about what baby stuff we need too. Jennifer's friend Megan (Tubman) Hardin brought her 2-month-old twin girls, and they were so sweet and cute. I think everyone got to cuddle them. Sunday, Jennifer took us to Babies R Us to help us register. Thank goodness - we needed help.

Big fat pregnant moment of the week:
At my doctor's appointment, the nurse said "Mrs. Dixon, let me get your weight again..." As in, "that can't be right!" Oh well!

"That thing is growing by the day!" -our friend Wesley, who is also our dentist.

I am still feeling good and I think I am finally getting some energy back, but my back has been hurting a lot more. This weekend we are headed to Southaven for Jennifer Dixon Brown's baby shower. Hopefully she can help us register for all the baby goodies we need, since there are no stores in Starkville where we can register.

The weekend before last we had 5 people in town for the MSU-Tennessee game. The weather was great and we had a fun tailgate with pork tenderloin and sausage - YUM. MSU lost, but it was not that bad of a game. This week's game was tough to watch though. Mark & Robin came over for a small indoor "tailgate", but we ended up outside playing w/the kiddies before too long.

Homecoming Weekend

MSU managed to win another game! Visiting MSU alum were Dave Brommer from Tuscaloosa, Tyler Finklea from Panama City, and Laura Sidney, Elisabeth Harris, and Bo Tate from Phoenix! New rules prohibit parking vehicles on the grass, so we bought a heavy duty wagon (holds 1500 lbs.) to haul all of our tailgate necessities to our tent. It was a HUGE hit with the kiddies - we had to tear it away from crying babies when it was time to pack up and go home! I didn't go to the game. The 1:00 sun was way too hot.

Pregnant friends

Look how cute my friend Amy Aarhus is! She looks like she is smuggling a basketball into the Auburn game! She is 1 week ahead of me.
