Preparing for Baby, Part 1

As we get ever closer to our early March due date, we find ourselves stepping into high gear "baby mode." Already we have gotten to celebrate Butter Baby with our friends and family in Mississippi and more celebrations are on their way. Wes' Dad gave Butter it's first piece of Mississippi State paraphernalia

We are also excited about preparing the baby's room with both of our parents at the end of January. It will be fun to create a room filled with love with those so dear to us. Decorations are already waiting to be hung on the walls and furniture has been ordered, it is just a matter of having the proper help to put it all together (literally, lots of assembly required!).

Butter's Coming Home Hat in "Butter" and Green

Charlotte has taken on the task of knitting a coming home outfit for the baby and has chosen, of course, a lovely butter colored yarn. The hat is complete with a romper on its way. Wes' big preparations include keeping Charlotte calm and explaining to Huck and Moonk that they are about to become third class citizens.

Everyday we find our emotions shifting back and forth from total excitement to complete panic but at the end of it all, we just cannot wait to meet out little Butter Baby.
