Busy November

November has been very busy! We cleaned out Katie's room, removed most of our stuff and got it ready for all of her stuff :) We have started painting her a small table, an Alabama table, we can't have Katie thinking that the only colors are red and black! I'll post a picture of that when it's all done.
This past weekend we proudly watched our nephew Zach graduate from Basic Training

he's now on to Jump School...he couldn't be happier!


The ladies at DRee and Company threw me a shower! Here is what Miss Katie got...

  Ruffles on the booty!

How cute is the lady bug! I cant wait for Katie to see it!

Crocheted blanket! Perfect for February!

Monogrammed Brush and Comb, I got really excited seeing her initials!!

Gonna need lot's of these!!

My belly is growing bigger and bigger every day! I can really feel her through out the day now, and especially around 9:30 at night when I get still, she really starts moving! I have been able to see my belly move several times, she is getting stronger and stronger every day!
Our church has moved to a temporary location and we have to set up for Sunday morning and the tear down on Sunday and do it all again the next Sunday, it is really hard for me not to move things and push things around, I am used to doing things not watching people do things. Don't worry, I think Jake had a meeting with everyone on staff and anytime I am even looking like I am going to do something, someone comes out of the woodwork and takes it from me! It has been an awesome move and I can't wait to see else what God has in store for Compass!

Harmon's at 25 Weeks

Head to toe, Katie is now about 13 1/2 inches long. She weighs about a pound and a half and is the size of an eggplant. She's beginning to exchange her long and lean look for some baby fat , so she looking more and more like a newborn. She's also growing more hair and if we could see it, we could tell what color it is. (Dark and curly perhaps?)

Jake was able to feel her kick the other day!! It made him quite happy! I think we both are excited about these next few months because Jake can become more involved by being able to feel and see what Katie is doing in my belly.

I am getting to the point where it is getting difficult to tie my shoes and take off my boots. Thankfully my loving husband has been helping me with that, as well as reminding me what I can and can NOT lift! 

We registered at Target, Babies R Us, and Wal-Mart the other day. We must have spent 4 hours in Babies R Us trying out strollers, folding and unfolding each one. I had notes on which ones had the best reviews and we tested them out pretty thoroughly. So much CUTE Winnie the Pooh stuff!! SO much cute girly stuff! YAY!

They had a tester infant carrier and Jake tried to figure out how to put it on...

...we were not successful. Hopefully the one we get will come with instructions? It's all part of the fun!

We went to Tallulah Gorge with Sam on Saturday before the Alabama/LSU game and walked around the edge of the gorge. We have walked all the way around before and had plans to do that on Saturday. Katie had other ideas, half way around was more than enough! It wore us all out! I fell asleep during the Bama game and Sam slept for two days after, he just went from one of his beds to the other. Jake seemed to fair the best out of all of us:) 

 The trees have started changing and it was so beautiful! Awesome family day!
