I'm not hiding it anymore. Here is the first official belly picture (21 weeks). We are at Lairdland Farms for Ginny's wedding shower. Let the puffiness begin!

The Crib

I have the crib put together. His room is on furniture overload right now, but its coming together. I hope to have the painters here for an estimate this week. That would be for Aunt Ginny's room so that the bed in the nursery can be moved. The picture is close up because I wanted to you be able to see the details of the patterns. I love it!

THE NAME

Well, we had this in mind the whole time, but wanted to make sure their weren't any names out there we were missing. Last night we had the final decision. We just can't lose the Lee's.... so he will be

Wesson Lee Parker

He will be sharing his name with his Daddy, his Mama, his Jane Lee (not offically given a title, but I like LuLu), and his Aunt Katie Yarbrough. I know there are others, and we love you dearly. Thanks for a great name!

Shopping Day

I have been having a fit to find Wesson's baby bedding. A word to the wise: It is very hard to have the room painted before buying bedding. His nursery is a pastel sage green color. Lee and I felt like that would be fine, especially since we are going to be painting Ginny's room soon. The selection of bedding has all gone to the Internet, and that made it very hard to be sure about the color. It would have been much easier to fall in love with something then paint. But, I'm being budget conscious here. We ended up at Posh Mommy in Madison, AL. This pattern was in stock and on sale so you know that made it that much cuter to us! I think you'll like it...

Wesson Parker

Well, HE made it very obvious! You can see from his picture that he is very proud of himself. I have a picture of his face, too. We are not set on a middle name, so if you think of something let me know!

Before we completely start ignoring our house, we decided to give it a little update. We have vinyl replacement windows!! They look so wonderful. I am just so happy to check something off the list. Ignore the roof, though. That will be coming up sooner than later I'm sure.

JULY 1st - mark your calendar. We will know if its a boy or girl. We got a great report at the doctor yesterday. I have only gained 2 pounds, 4 pounds total. I never would have guessed that. The heart beat was very loud and fast (hmmm...a girl?). Dr. Gist said it sounded like it was doing flips. Took a second to get Little Parker to calm down so we could hear. I don't have belly picutes up yet because I have no belly. I'm sure it will pop out sooner than later!

In other Parker household news, we have new windows! They look wonderful!!! We also bought a new air conditioner for the pool room and four new tires for the Honda. When it rains, it pours!

This is what my Easter basket looked like this year. When everyone was talking about what the Easter Bunny brought them, I brought out my artwork and shocked them all! I couldn't believe we pulled it off. It was so much fun!

Here is Little Parker's first picture. If you can't tell, I'm trying to get "Little Parker" to stick a few more weeks until we know the sex and a name. Lori thought "Little Nugget" was perfect. I can see the resemblance though.

Well, as you may know... The Parker's are Growing! We are having our first child, due November 26th! I thought it would be nice to have a public place for family and friends to be able to share this special time in our lives. Check back in a few weeks when we know the sex of Little Parker and things are moving along a bit faster!
