27 Week Update

By popular demand, here's the latest belly pics. My belly has definitely grown in the last few weeks. This may be the last picture you see of the actual belly. I mean, look at that thing! Goodness Gracious!


By the way, we went to the doctor yesterday for our 27 week checkup. Everything is still going great! I had to drink the yummy orange drink to test for gestational diabetes. The first sips were good, but then it became torture trying to get it down within the 10 minute window. But I succeeded without puking everywhere. We should know the results in a few days.

Toy Chest

One of my favorite pieces of furniture in Baby Yarbrough's room is the old toy chest Kevin had when he was a kid. I just think it's sweet that she'll have something he grew up with. Kevin repainted the toy chest and added new handles to make it a little more girly. He hates that I made him pose next to the toy chest but here's his work in progress.

The first coat of paint... one of many!

Making progress...

SEVERAL coats later... the final product!

Lindsey's Soccer Game

I went to my niece Lindsey's soccer game this past Saturday at Murray Park. Her team WON 4 - 2!!! She seems to really like it and she loves her coach. I wish I had as much energy as she does. I can't wait to go to Baby Yarbrough's games. Maybe Kevin will be the coach! :)

Baby No-Name

A lot of you have been asking what Baby Yarbroughs name is and unfortunately, Kevin and I still have not decided. We have it narrowed down to two strong contenders but we haven't pulled the trigger yet on which one we like the most. We've decided that Baby Yarbrough will be named the day she is born, when we can get a good look at her. :) As for now, we're still taking suggestions so if you have any, please feel free to send them our way.

Doctor Update: We go see our doctor next Wednesday for our 27 week checkup.

Jermain Taylor Is In My Belly!

I have become a human punching bag. Last night, I slept for one whole hour while Baby Yarbrough went 12 rounds in the ring against my uterus and bladder! She's not even here yet and she's already keeping me up. So here's my question... will she be this wild and crazy once she's here? If so, please pray for us. :)

Long Live the Queen!

This post is a little past due but I wanted to give you an update on the Queen. As you know, Kevin's grandmother was named Queen at her local nursing home back in June and then she did it again at the District competition! She was announced Pageant Queen at the AHCA District I Pageant back in August, beating out 25 other lovely ladies. Now, she is on her way to the 2007 State Beauty Pageant to be held at Embassy Suites in Little Rock this coming November. Our whole family is obviously thrilled but not at all surprised at her title because she's always been a queen to us. Congratulations Grannie and Good Luck at State!

Making Progress

Now that we know Baby Yarbrough is Baby GIRL Yarbrough, we've started to work on her nursery. I finally found some bedding I like at Wal-Mart of all places! Her nursery colors will be pink and chocolate brown. Here's a picture.We're fortunate to have such giving family and friends. My sister Stacie gave me this changing table...
Our friends Eric and Paige gave us this crib, which belonged to their daughter Emery - Baby Yarbrough's future sister-in-law!
The only thing we've had to buy is this armoire, which we found at Austin's Unpainted Furniture.
Now we just have to paint!
