my firsts...

my first date with daddy!

my first nap in my crib...love the sheep skin, mommy!

there's plenty more firsts to come this year. hopefully i'll have my camera ready. this first week has been great. filled with lots of visits from family and friends. only 51 more weeks until my first birthday, but who's counting. i'm treasuring every moment i'm at home with her now.

We are so blessed to have a beautiful daughter, how AMAZING!

2 weeks to go

we have 2 weeks until baby white is due and all i keep hearing is..."you're STILL here?" why "yes" i am is all i can seem to say. it is amazing how people automatically feel the need to share their deliver story with you unsolicited because you're about to go through it. i have to say some stories are pretty funny. but as our friend ryan says it is like you are almost apart of the "club". i guess in a few short weeks or even days we will be apart of that club. CRAZY! how life will change.

twins!

ok...so remember how i said my sister and i like to dress alike without consulting one another. well, a teacher at my school who is a good friend of mine decided we should start. yes, that's right today we showed up to school wearing the SAME outfit. khaki cords, brown shoes, pink striped maternity shirt, and brown vest. needless to say we were the laugh for the day to the rest of the staff. they already call us sisters because we so much alike. and yes, she is pregnant however i am noticing from this picture that she COULD still zip her vest and i definitely CAN'T. time to lay off the cookies and cereal at night, starting to see a little pudge in the face.

our christmas

josh and grandma white with the annual crown pork roast.

tiny tim...josh's cousin jon played tiny tim crachet in the midland christmas carol. he was even give out autographs after the show. it may acutally we worth something someday.

looks full this year, just wait until next year with little whitey.

we enjoyed a restful calm christmas at home this year. our families got together on the weekends around christmas. it was nice to have a down year, but we still kind of missed the chaos and festivities that goes along with visiting family on christmas day.

the evolution

posh diaper bag...gotta love it!

my first diaper bag...petunia pickle bottom. ADORABLE!!

just waiting..

We're all ready...just waiting for "A" or "E" to join us. That's right we've got the names but of course it's going to be a SURPRISE. Keep guessing fam and friends.

baby white's shower

thanks to my mom and awesome sisters...elizabeth, wendi, and erin for an amazing shower.
my dad made the crib! it is going to be a great heirloom to pass down.
my mom, sister and i are known for dressing alike, and this occasion was NO different...
chunky necklaces, wrapped shirts/dresses, dark colors...surprise, surprise!
elizabeth and i however thought we should look even more alike and wear our tall boots.
can you tell we're related?
