We Love Our Bank

I couldn't help but record this. It was so funny!!! Plus it gave me practice with my new Flip Video!! Smitty came running from the kitchen tonight when the stupid "We Love Our Bank" commercial came on.

Welcome to Babywood

This past weekend we traveled to NY for two of our baby showers. Of course it was a gorgeous weekend in Charlotte and we traveled to the north and got nothing but cold and snow! Oh well we still had a good time.

All the festivities were Saturday. I had a traditional baby shower with my mom in the afternoon and then a family shower with my dad that evening. Both showers were a lot of fun and Mason got some great gifts! It was great to see all our friends and family! Thanks to everyone who helped plan the showers or just came to celebrate Mason! Here are some pics from the afternoon shower and one from the evening shower. I will have to ask my Dad to send me more from that night. I didn't have my camera with me! :(

Ticket cookies with a M for Mason

Popcorn cake

Here is a picture of the super cute favors from the family shower. "Mason"jars filled with sports chocolate. Very clever idea!

Here are some pics of the gifts Mason got.......

"Mason in 4D"

This week I had a doctors appointment and had 4D ultrasound pictures taken of Mason. I opted to have this ultrasound done, as it isnt a normal procedure, cause I had to be sure I was having a boy and that he had all required body parts. You know me I just wanted the extra level of comfort. It was pretty amazing the pictures they are able to get these days. Mason is indeed a boy and everything looked great! Here are some pictures from the appointment. Notice that Mason has been blessed with his fathers big nose! LOL.

ITS A BOY!!!!

Peace!!!

This one shows him sticking out his tongue. Another feature he inherited from his father....if you look closely you can see the tip is missing....must be from all those back flips he has been doing recently.

We also had our first child birth class this week. I could have done without the videos! If you are reading this and are going to be a fiirst time mom soon pass on the classes and just wing it! I am pretty sure after class #1 Mason will be an only child! We have round 2 next Thursday night.
