Happy Mother's Day!

Sorry that it has been so long since my last post.   Life just got a little hectic there for a while!   This weekend we were able to go to Birmingham to spend Mother's day with my wonderful mother and grandmother!  For those of you who know my mother, we all know that she is truly wonderful.  She has taught me so much in my 26 years of life and for that I am very grateful.  If I can be have as loving, caring, fun, and flexible as my mother the Butterbean will be a lucky boy!   You read that right...the Butterbean is a boy!  We are so excited.  He was kind enough to make it very easy to tell a few weeks ago that he was a boy, and then he was very cooperative this past week as he again made us very aware in our ultrasound that he was indeed a boy.   Not only did he show us his gender very clearly, but he also showed off his acrobatic moves during our ultrasound.  The lady that does our ultrasounds just kept saying, "I think this little boy is going to be an entertainer!"   On Tues., we will go to Jackson to see a specialist.  He will do a comprehensive work up on both me and the baby.  Everyone we have talked to says the best part of this visit is you get to do the 4D ultrasound.  We are excited about seeing the Butterbean up close and personal, and also hope that doctor will be able to confirm that we are taking the right steps to deal with the blood clot.  I will post an update after our visit on Tues.
    The other excitement of my weekend was going to Montgomery for Jennifer's bridesmaid luncheon.   Jennifer looked beautiful as always, and the luncheon was really fun.  It was great to get together with all the bridesmaids and celebrate such an exciting time for Jennifer.  I am looking forward to spending next weekend in Monroeville for her big day.  My dad is especially excited about this weekend because it just so happens to be the same weekend as the To Kill A Mockingbird Play.    My dad loves this story, probably because he and Aticus are almost the same person!   Seriously, he loves the story he even has the movie soundtrack!  I'm just glad he finally gets to go to the play.  Im sure I will have a full update next week on all the weekend's events.    I have to go pick up my dress tomorrow from the alterations place, so hopefully I haven't grown too much since last week!
