Our Sweet GIRL Harper AshLynn Cox!

As of today we are 22 weeks and 6 days! Tomorrow is the 23 week mark! As you all know, on October 26, we found out we were having a SWEET LITTLE GIRL! We are so excited! Our whole family is EXCITED! Especially Jeff's MOM! She IS FINALLY GETTING HER GIRL! :) Jeff comes from a FAMILY of ALL BOYS! He and his brother of course and then his Dad comes from BOYS, etc! So needless to say the Cox clan needs some ESTROGEN! Hahaha!

 

 

 It didn't take us long to name our sweet girl! I knew I wanted to name her AshLynn since last June! Her name comes from two different women that I LOVE WITH ALL OF MY HEART! My Granny, Doris Ash Williamson and my Aunt Lynn! When my Granny died  last year I knew I was going to name my little girl after her and give her my middle name and my Aunt Lynn's name! So we just needed to find a first name or middle name then! I have been spitting out names since we first found out we were pregnant in July! Jeff was very particular! Just about every name I said he didn't like! Hahaha! Go Figure! Well, that Friday night we were sitting here talking and I said what about Harper (a name I had already said previously with a NO) and Jeff said "YES! I LOVE IT!" Harper isn't a family name. I've heard that name for a little girl before and just fell in LOVE with it. Of course Jeff was quick to point out that there was an ER character (girl of course) that was Harper! Then he quickly pointed out that one of his favorite shows as a kid was Mama's Family and her name was Thelma HARPER! Hahaha! I quickly pointed out 'To Kill A Mockingbird's' Harper Lee! So we DECIDED that was it! So our Baby Girl's name is Harper AshLynn! We debated on calling her Harper or AshLynn but we decided on Harper! My sweet girl with know all about her MIDDLE NAME and know how WONDERFUL & SWEET her Great Great Grandmother was! She really helped MOMMY become the woman she is today! There isn't a day that goes by that I do not think of her and miss her! I can't wait to tell Harper ALL ABOUT HER!

We've done all our registering! We've picked out everything! Except the PAINT! We are waiting on her bedding to match up the paint! DADDY IS SO EXCITED! HE CAN'T WAIT TO PAINT HIS LITTLE GIRL'S ROOM! Speaking of the Daddy to be! He LOVES this little girl so much already! It absolutely makes me tear up! We both can't wait until she gets here in March/April! If she's like her Mama she might come 2 weeks LATE! If she's like her Daddy, she might come 2 weeks EARLY! We can't wait to meet her and see what she looks like! We keep talking about it! You just wonder ya know?! I know he is going to be the BEST DADDY IN THE WORLD! I can't wait to see him hold her for the first time! He's already trying to prepare! We watch "A Baby Story", daily! He's so excited for our birthing classes! He wants to tour the hospital like YESTERDAY! Seeing him like this just melts my heart! I LOVE THIS MAN SO MUCH and it grows every day!

Jeff and I are so BLESSED to have the FAMILY & FRIENDS that we have! Harper is already LOVED by SO MANY!!! She has no idea!! She has a HUGE family just waiting for her! Mommy & Daddy already LOVE her so much! But it goes far beyond that! Harper is the FIRST grandchild!!!! Our parents are so excited! People are already buying her sweet little things! It's so sweet! I'm EXTREMELY excited about our SHOWERS! Yes we are having more than one since our FAMILIES aren't located in the same area and then our FRIENDS (Our EXTENDED FAMILY) is having us one here in Macon! See what I mean?! She is ALREADY LOVED! I'm so excited to see our FAMILIES and share this SWEET OCCASION with them! We have FAMILY COMING IN FROM DALLAS & The Carolina Coast!!!!! There are just no words to describe how EXCITED we are! Our sweet Harper is ONE BLESSED LITTLE GIRL!!!

So tomorrow marks week 23! It feels like it is just FLYING by! She's just GROWING & GROWING! At our last visit she was 13 oz! She's doing GREAT! It looks like she's gonna get her Mama's LOVE of DANCING! She does a routine daily! She's a very active little girl! It seems like she's awake when I'm awake and sleeps when I sleep! I LOVE IT! We pre-registered Harper for the hospital last night! She is going to be here before we know it! We start our birthing classes in January!!! Our showers are in January and early February!!!! Then IT'S MARCH! I have a feeling she is going to come in April though! Which we are TOTALLY fine with! After all, April's birthstone is a DIAMOND! Hahaha!! And our sweet girl is going to SHINE BRIGHT for sure!

A Year Changes Everything!

Hey Frands!

I can't believe it's been a WHOLE year since I last blogged! That is absolutely nuts! So what has happened in a year you ask?!

Well the BIGGEST thing if you don't already know... JEFF & I ARE GOING TO BE PARENTS! We are patiently awaiting our SWEET LITTLE BUNDLE!! He or She is due March 31, 2013! Right now we are 16 weeks and 3 days! We HOPE to find out what Baby Cox is next Friday with Mimi & Papa!! Of course I THINK IT'S A GIRL not just because I want a girl but for various reasons....of course DADDY THINKS IT'S A BOY!! Obviously because he wants a little SLUGGER! Hahahaha 

Here's Baby Cox just chillin' and blowing bubbles!

Jeff is still WORKING HARD at WGXA as the Chiefy!! :) 

I am still WORKING HARD at school! Finishing my core for my BSN! 

Abby is doing great! We really don't know if she realizes she's going to be A BIG SISTER or not! We keep talking to her about it and she visits the Baby's room often. We haven't gotten the room ready yet but that's where we are storing all the baby's NEW stuff and she just goes in there and sniffs! I have noticed she is very "clingy" to me. She usually is beside me wherever I go lately! So I think she knows something is going on! We are going to involve her in everything so she feels apart of it! Which she should! She IS!! She's the BIG SISTER!! 

Well that's all for now! I've been at this whole 'UPDATING' my blog thing for waaaaaaay to long! LAUNDRY IS CALLING MY NAME! 

Ta ta for now!
