Catching Up!

I know, I have been slacking in the blog department. Believe me, it is not because I don't have anything to write about...we have been BUSY!

First, I was thrown another fabulous shower by Blakely, Meghan and Jenna. They did such a wonderful job and Fisher got THE cutest stuff!

The girls had all kinds of games planned. Here is Cecie and Laura trying to guess baby food flavors...yuck!

Now for the yummy food....

Thank you girls, Fisher and I love you all!

Next, it was Christmas (four Christmases to be exact). Fisher racked up on the baby gear! Of course, I have no pictures from the holidays, except this one of Chris and Michael sporting their new Georgia shirts.

And last, but not least...my birthday dinner! A big group of us went to dinner at Eclipse Di Luna. It was all you can eat...I was in fatty heaven!

Hi, I'm Lindsey and I am a whale!

Welcome to the 3rd trimester! We are ONLY 2/3 of the way there and I feel and look like I might explode. Hurry up Fisher, mommy would like to see her feet again!

This weekend Chris and I attended our birthing class, 5 hours of what to expect followed by a video of an acutal birth. Poor Chris looked like he was the one giving birth by the end of it and I must say, I could have done without the video as well. I was suprised to see the mother in the video extremely calm, waving to the camera and even smiling between contractions. I was expecting a more dramatic show...but this mom did not deliver. I can almost guarantee this will not be my temperment when Fisher arrives. Now that I fully understand what goes down, the only person I will be waving to is the nurse to up my dosage on the meds!

What Happens At Grandma's Stays At Grandma's

Last weekend Chris and I went to stay at Grandma Cecie and Grandpa Mark's house to have dinner and watch the Georgia game. We knew that Cecie had been working hard on the nursery, but we had no idea how READY she was. We are 6 1/2 months along and Grandma Cecie and Grandpa Mark are ready to go! Fisher's room is jam packed with all of the toys, swings and baby gear a little boy could ask for.

Look at Fisher's precious bed, patiently awaiting his arrival.

And that's not all...this nursery is full. The only thing missing is the baby!

Thanks Cecie and Mark for a great weekend!

Showered With Love!

Last weekend, all of the Alabama girls threw me the most fabulous baby luncheon/weekend in Nashville. They put so much thought into everything! When I arrived I had this basket of goodies waiting on me. It was full of fun things like: belly butter, prenatal vitamins, a pregnancy magazine, the book "Belly Laughs," some snacks and more.  

That night, all of the girls brought in fun appetizers...I get hungry just thinking about it!

The next morning we woke up bright and early for the baby brunch at Puffy Muffin. The girls rented a private room and decorated it to perfection!

The table setting had hydrangeas and little bird accents, to match the theme in Fisher's room.

They hung little signs all over the room that said "Fisher" and "It's a Boy!"


Here is a picture of the delicious cake! I mean, how cute are those little booties?!

They showered me in the cutest gifts EVER and it is official...Fisher is already spoiled rotten...love it!

Thank you girls, for such a special weekend!!

This and That

We have been buuusy! Last week, Katie and Weston came to visit us for a day of shopping at the mart. Chris and I were thrilled to have a little boy around the house; we can only hope Fisher is as well behaved as Weston! We followed her around the whole time  and watched her every move to learn all we could. Babies are a lot of work! Katie bought Weston this hat..too cute for words!

For Halloween, Chris and I went up to Big Canoe and stayed at my parents place. It is the prettiest time of the year because of all of the leaves. Here is a view from the top!

While we were there we went to see the Atlanta Magazine Dream Home. It was amazing! The master suite was the size of our entire house!

10 Fingers and 10 Toes!

Our last doctor’s appointment was great. Fisher's arms, legs and torso were measured and he is growing at the perfect speed. He did stop moving just enough for us to see 10 fingers and 10 toes, which may not seem like a big deal...but everything at this point is new and exciting. As the nurse said, “let the shopping begin!” Too bad the shopping started about 21 weeks ago, Fisher already has quite an impressive wardrobe!


We were also able to hear the heart beat, which is my favorite part of the appointments. It is an awesome feeling to know that he is just hanging out in my belly waiting to come out and meet us.

Five Months Down, Five More To Go!

Sunday marked the halfway point and we could not be more thrilled. With the holidays coming up, we hope the second half will fly by. I am getting bigger by the second and so is the little guy in my belly. I can now feel his kicks, jabs and punches throughout the day. Christopher has felt him a few times. He gets so excited when he feels the little guy; it is like they are bonding…too cute for words!

We have decided on a name, Fisher Vincent Catone. Chris can’t wait for all of his “buddies” to call him Fish. I think it is precious and can’t wait to meet Mr. Fisher Vincent Catone!

This weekend we went to the pumpkin patch, and picked out pumpkins for me, Chris and Fisher. I just can’t wait until next year, when we can go as a family.
