We traveled all day long yesterday (from 2:00am until about 10:00pm Alaska time) and made it all the way to Alabama. After a good night's rest in a comfy bed, your daddy and I awoke to tackle the day, visit family, and attend our first baby shower!
Grandma Batts is in the hospital - she broke her hip earlier this week. Praise God we were already planning to go down to Alabama, so the timing was great for us. We visited her, taking books, flowers, an apple, and a card... but I think she was most excited when your daddy pulled out his phone and let her hear your heartbeat. It's a little muffly sounding at times, but we hear you loud and clear, little one!
You're in there, and you're getting strong - 4 inches now. That's the size of my iPhone! Sometimes I hold my phone up to my tummy just to picture how you look in there.
Our first baby shower was tonight. Your aunt Holly hosted it for us and we had a great time playing games, opening presents, and eating yummy tacos. We got a carseat and a stroller for you, plus a cute stuffed giraffe, two mugs, and lots of fun baby clothes.
Soon we'll need to bring your little dresser over to our apartment so we can put things away for you... but before we can do that, we'll need to clean and organize your room! If we stay in our two-bedroom apartment, you'll be sleeping in the guest room / study / nursery... well, after a few months of sleeping in a bassinet in our room, of course!
We think everyone here in Alabama is excited to meet you, too... you have two cousins already (and will have a third one by the time you come!) and I know you'll love visiting them. Here's a picture of my Alabama baby bump!
