It will depend on when Thump Thump decides to arrive but WOW... lots of changes to the Lilly Sale this year! Not sure how I feel about the no ticket process...Hopefully the sea of pink and green will be as fabulous as past years!

Have you missed flip flops, boat shoes and thump thump too?
I have missed my blog world SO much and am finally getting my photo storage crisis solved which means... more posts! However, I owe you all some updates... a lot has happened in the past 2 months (and baby thump thump has grown quite a bit!!!!) The last time I posted Thump thump could be compared to a small cantaloupe at 6.5 inches and weighing 10.6 oz and now he is compared to the size of a butternut squash at 15.25 inches and weighing 2.5 pounds! WOW!
Some highlights since our "What will baby BEE party!"...
July~
*4th of July adventure to Time Out in CT with our dear friends Kate and Jen! A super fun road trip and a weekend full of laughter and sunshine with Kate's family! What a memorable weekend!
August~
*a lovely babymoon, just me and boat shoes... a week in Naples filled with sunshine, sand, relaxation, beach palapas, yummy meals and TIME together!
*baby thump thump's furniture arrived!
*Boat shoes can now feel thump thump kick and move around - what a miraculous feeling!
September~
*a TN adventure to see lots of besties... first stop: Nashville, TN to see Elizabeth, Clark & Sterling; Adam, Christie & Dave; Angel, Todd & Elizabeth Grace and attend the first football game of the season... Vanderbilt vs. Elon.. my two alma maters and then on to Knoxville for time with my big brother Bentley & Jessica and the Andrews family at their beautiful lake home
(road trip tips for pregnant gals... stop often, bring lots of snacks, laugh alot, dont look at the clock, enjoy!)
*a Charlotte, NC train and road trip for time with family, my first baby shower in Charlotte with so many old friends from life! It was such a humbling experience to hear so many tips, pieces of advice, congratulations and for baby Luther to be showered with so many precious things from lovies and blankets, to bottles and bibs.. this is one loved little boy!
Now for some pregnancy updates...
Cravings...
I LOVE fruit! strawberries, pineapple and watermelon have been my top 3 choices; however, bananas and apples are not appealing at all! I have not had any, "I need this now" cravings; however, I sure enjoy a nice warm cookie from time to time (I'm just not sure I can blame that on pregnancy!)
What I miss...
Apples!
A glass of red wine on a chilly fall evening with my husband
Going for a long run... Cant wait to run with a BOB stroller and our precious son one day!
What I can't wait for...
our next ultrasound!
completing the nursery... hanging thump thump's beautiful new painting from Shower Me with Love in Charlotte; putting his adorable whale bedding in his crib; choosing a name that we love; ordering his first monogrammed outfit
seeing our professional maternity photos
Milestones...
Boat shoes and I completed our 8 hour childbirth class and toured the labor and delivery floor at the hospital where baby thump thump will be born!
THIRD TRIMESTER!

a precious baby BOY!
We are having a SON, a precious healthy baby boy. We are so thankful and so excited!
I can't wait to watch him follow his dad... he certainly has a phenomenal role model. He will be a gentleman, he will be kind to others and he will be the best dressed little guy in boat shoes you have ever seen! We have had such a wonderful few days "getting to know him." It is fascinating how the minute we knew he was a little boy, every little part of this experience became even more real and more connected. We are so thankful we made the decision to find out if baby thump thump is a "he" or a "she!"
We have picked out some precious outfits for our little punkin' at janie and jack (a new favorite!) and I have spent some time gathering nursery ideas! I have also found some wonderful new sites for unique ideas and decorating tips! (list provided below collages!)

patiently awaiting pix...
I know you all are patiently awaiting pix from our "What will baby BEE party!"
Boat Shoes and I have been having some technical photo difficulties the past few weeks... so one down side to a new passion in photography is taking so many photos that the space on your computer gets low and thus photos can not upload from said camera.
Womp womp.
Any suggestions from Mac users on storage for photos, using external hard drives, using internet storage etc. are greatly appreciated!
Until then... I will update you on our EXCITEMENT about baby BOY luther and some nursery brainstorming ideas...
