It's a BOY!

On July 13, Cody and I went back to the doctor for our 20 week appointment to find out Baby Moore's gender. We had been counting down the days for this appointment, and so had my family! Our excitement was obvious when we showed up with three extra people for this special appointment... my mom, grandmother, and aunt went with us to see things for themselves!

Cody and I went back by ourselves first. When it was finally time to find out, the ultrasound tech put it on the screen and left it for us to figure out. I think it literally took us about 3 seconds to figure out. I just shouted out, "It's a boy, isn't it?!". Then, it was time for the rest of the crew to come see, so they filed in and literally took over the tech's screen (lol). Then, they saw for themselves that we would be welcoming a precious baby boy into the family! The room was full of giggles, grins, oohs, and aahs! It was such a great day!

Mom immediately left the room to call my daddy. He's been wanting a boy for so long, so she knew that this would thrill him, and she was right. He is so excited about his grandson...he's already looking at Ducks Unlimited special edition rifles...and the list goes on and on.

God is so wonderful!! I can't explain the joy that this child has already brought to our family. I can't imagine how we are going to be when December 2 rolls around. Every morning, I wake up and thank God for this very precious gift. I am happier than I have ever been in my entire life! Now, I'm just ready to meet our little guy! :)

Langley Wedding

The Perfect Southern Wedding

Last weekend, Cody and I went back to our favorite place... Oxford, MS, for our dear friends' Sarah and Skip's wedding. The entire weekend was fabulous! We got to hang out in the perfect little town where we met, and we got to hang out with all of our college buddies. Everyone was there, and we had such a great time!

On Friday night, we had dinner at 208 with a bunch of Pi Phi gals and their dates/husbands. After dinner, we went to the Downtown Grill to meet up with the bride & groom and all of their guests. It was quite obvious that all of them had been having a great time! They were all amazed by my growing belly, and let's just say that it was the star of the show. I don't think I've ever been rubbed so much in my entire life! While at the Downtown Grill, Michael Jackson was blaring from the speakers. I guess they were playing a tribute to the late and great MJ... and I think I have a dancer on my hands. The whole time the music was playing, Baby Moore was wiggling and dancing in my belly. This made all of the belly rubs worthwhile. :)

Saturday was great, too, even though it was 100 degrees! We all got up and went shopping. We got some Rebel gear and some maternity stuff too. Then, we got ready for the wedding. The wedding was at Oak Hill Stables, and it was gorgeous. Skip & Sarah had an outdoor wedding and reception. Colonel Reb even made his appearance while the band played Dixie. It was a true Southern wedding... a beautiful sunset and horses behind the chapel, Colonel Reb's appearance, ice sculptures, the Ole Miss groom's cake, peonies in every flower arrangement, floating initials in the pool, a Mo-Town band, the "glistening" taking place due to the Southern heat, good food, and great friends! Hotty Toddy!
