Paige- 6 month photos

Go to the link below to see Paige's "Sneak Peek" from her 6 month photo shoot. I have found a photographer that I absolutely LOVE and will use over and over again. She was absolutely amazing, and SUPER reasonably priced, plus we get a high res digital CD of all the pictures. ALL the pictures. (had to say it twice that's how good it is). Copy and printing rights too. So, here is the sneak peek! And we'll probably use some of these for Christmas cards.

CMAs were a blast last night! GREAT seats. The after party was a bust though... pretty lame. Geof and I had an amazing dinner before with our CMT distributor from Disney / ABC (he sold us Extreme Makeover Home Edition) and the new GM at ABC Nashville. We went to a restaurant I had never heard of, but is AMAZING. City House. Check it out. http://cityhousenashville.com/ Super cool atmosphere and the chef is fantastic! Reasonable prices as well.

Have a great weekend!!

Been a while...

Okay, so it's been a while. We went in for a scheduled c-section on April 25th and Paige Brooks was born! That was 6 months ago, can you believe it?? Wow. Here are a few highlights in pictures since I haven't posted in a while...

And most recently for Halloween...

Work Baby Shower

Well, I don't have a ton of pics yet because others were taking photos and will get those to me soon. Here are a few of the food table, decorations, and the MASS amount of gifts! I think this was a record for the best baby shower ever here at work! Was so great! They did a nursery rhyme theme. Most of the food was prepared by my good buddy, Brooke O'Dell. (my very first friend in Nashville almost 8 years ago!) She has a local catering business, specializing in cakes/cupcakes. Absolutely FANTASTIC!! Her website is: http://icethiscakes.com/ Check it out!!

My 4runner was stuffed full from the very very back window to the front seat! Whew!
I got everything in the house and Max didn't know what to do. I think in this picture he was thinking... "not again..." ha! That was my last baby shower and boy oh boy are we set!! I will keep you all posted when I get more pictures or fun stuff to share!

BABY, BABY, BABY!

Almost 32 weeks....

Here are pictures of the nursery (the one wall that is completely finished)... and pictures from my MASSIVE church shower. Talk about richly blessed. Let's just say...I just finished writing almost 100 thank you notes and we still have 3 showers to go! Whew! Thanks to all the hostesses for putting on a smash hit of a shower last weekend! And thanks to mom, Aunt Sandy, my sister, and Jackie (Geof's mom) - we have the nursery/closets organized, blankets and clothes and wash rags etc are all washed and ready. Things are moving along... and so is my belly as you can see...

I have a black bookshelf that goes on that blank wall there. There is also a dresser not pictured and other things to finish. I'm hoping to find a cute solid color rug. The walls are gray even though they look a little purple in these pics. The color squares are painted with craft paint and then I framed pieces of my fabric. I had the bedding custom made b/c I wanted something unique (I know, shocker right?). Found the fabrics online and had someone in NY make it all for a good price. It's very bright and fun! Thanks to my good friend Anna Berry for helping me decorate the nursery!

Now on to the church shower... the cake was homemade by the one and only Teresa Buck - we had strawberry, lemon, white chocolate, and carrot cake. They were all wonderful! And yes, I did have one of each flavor thank you very much. Homemade buttercream icing - YUM!!! Linde Browning Giddens made this sign for the hospital door. Precious!

I leave you with a full on shot of my big belly. haha!! I love that dress though. Very comfy!

Snow, snow, GO AWAY!

Snow, Snow, Go Away....Come Again Another Day!!

We are so tired of winter weather up here! As beautiful as it is, it always seems to come on the weekend or on holidays. Stuck inside with ice and snow on the roads... again... Nashville has truly seen more than usual this year! This morning we woke up to another 1.5 inches and it hasn't stopped falling since. Here is a picture of Max as he LOVES to eat the snow on the back deck. The bandana came from his dog daycare. They always dress the dogs in bandanas after their bath. Happy Valentine's Day to Max! haha!

29 Weeks

Today I'm 29 weeks! Here are the latest 4d images from Friday... Paige is going to have quite the head of dark hair as you can see! Geof and I were both born with tons of dark hair, so we had a feeling this would be the case. At this rate, we might be doing pig tails within the first week! ha! Paige now weighs 2 lbs and 11 oz. The nursery is almost done!! Very excited - I will post pictures eventually when it is complete...

Move over Max!

Have I seriously not posted a blog since October?? Seriously? Oops. Time is flying!

Lots going on. The biggest of course if that we're expecting a little girl - due May 2nd. Max (the dog) better mooove on over and make room. Will be quite the adjustment for all! :) We announced her name over Christmas dinner. PAIGE BROOKS VICKERS. Here are some sonogram photos of her from 12/28/09. This first one = she looks like a little drama queen with her hand on her head like that. haha! My child? Surely not....

Happy New Year everyone! Here's to hoping I don't go another 2.5 months without a post. :)
