4 weeks old

Sophie is 4 weeks old. It's hard to believe that it's been a month. The time has flown by. We are figuring each other ouit slowly but surely. A big thanks goes out to all the family and friends that have kept us in your thoughts and prayers. Love you

She is here

Sophie Marie Thrift was born on April 24 2010. 8 lbs 3 oz @ 10:04 pm. She is awesome, and the Lord is even cooler for giving her to us to take care of.

Feeling really pregnant today!

So I am feeling really pregnant today :)... I seem to be moving at about a snails pace, my ankles are the size of softballs, and my head seems a little bit more cloudy than normal. A few days ago i didn't even feel my tummy, but today i seem to be extra big in the mid region. Crazy the ups and downs. Overall I am feeling fine, just really really pregnant. I get asked if I am ready to have this baby, but even with being uncomfortable, I know that when the baby gets here I my be just as uncomfortable for differnt reasons:)... So, no my friends I am not ready to have this baby, give me a few more days (maybe weeks) and we can talk then! Due Date: April 24th.

What a great Easter Weekend

Dustan and I had a great weekend! On Friday we had a "quite" night at home with the amazing Sherlock Homes played by Robert Downing Jr. and Saturday morning Dustan went to work "Football Practice", while I worked in the yard (yaha for Spring). That afternoon we took a trip to Ikea in Frisco to see some friends that had traveled in from Arkansas to shop the amazing store that is seems to never end-- (Lissa and Erik so awesome to see you guys)-- Then we traveled on down to Garland to see my folks and spend the night so we could wake up Easter Sunday with them. I happened to be awake when the Easter Bunny came by with my basket, and it seemed to look alot like my mother:)... Church was (as always on Easter morning) an adventure, and when we got home eggs were waiting to be decorated. Dinner was fantastic - I really love it when I eat a home cooked meal I did not have to make:), and then we had a hunt... if I do say so myself, even with my belly I was able to keep up, and get my fair share of the candy.
Thank you Jesus for giving the gift of your life so that we may live, and then having the power to rise on the third day... You changed everything.

Happy April Fool's Day!

Just wanted to say happy April 1st!
It's the top of the day (so not jokes as of yet)- but the day is still young:)...

Here are some quick shots of the baby's room. dustan and I had a lot of fun painting and decorating it. I don't have any pictures of the room with the crib and bedding all set up, but you will just have to come on by to visit...

Houston Baby Shower

Here are a couple of shots from the Houston Baby Shower that was throne for us back on March 13.

As you can see... some of the family thinks it will be a girl and some think it will be a boy. Dustan was told if the baby was a boy he was expected to wear the dress any way:)... I don't know if we can come through with that promise, but it has been a lot of fun hearing everyone's opinions on the matter.

We had a great time visiting with family and celebrating the coming baby:
