A busy week and one I will never forget..

The beginning of the week started off great!  My sweet teacher friends at school hosted a baby shower for Burkleigh and it was so much fun! She got some great things, the Nap Nanny (I can't wait to use this) the bumbo seat, some outfits, diapers and wipes, bath stuff, and mostly gift cards which are always nice!  Thank you so much to all my sweet friends who came and who helped.  It was a very special day and still hard to believe I will have a sweet baby girl in just a few short weeks.  My sweet momma was able to come and made Burkleigh the sweetest outfits.  I am just so blessed to have a moma that knows how to sew.  She makes the cutest things and I can't wait to see her in them.  She also brought my old "pilley" that I carried when I was a little girl.  She wrapped up pilley and blankie and wrote on the card "I told you one day I would give this back to you and I try to always keep my promises."  Of couse, I got emotional. I haven't seen pilley in years and to think I carried her everywhere I went. Mygrandmother finally bribed me for money to give pilley up and mom has been keeping her ever since.  It brought back a lot of memories and I wonder what Burkleigh's little comfort toy will be.  It was a great day celebrating with family and sweet friends!

The yummy food

  

The sign in table..isn't the lamb precious?

love these!

 

My sweet friend Mel made the little lamb.  She is absolutely the cutest thing.  The pink sign on the front says It's a Girl on one side and then you turn it over and it says Burkleigh Ann and we can add her birthdate and how much she weighs.  I just love it!  Mel always has the best ideas and I'm so thankful for her friendship!

The yummy cake..

By Wednesday, the weather was not looking too great in our state and we were under a high risk for multiple tornados.  School was dismissed at noon and I don't think anyone was prepared for what was about to happen.  That night numerous tornados touch down around our state in Tuscaloosa, Cullman, Pratt City, Pleasant Grove, and Huntsville. It was something I have never experienced before...watching it on tv was like watching a horror movie.  The loss of lives is up to 250 in our state and continues to rise.  The devastion is just unreal.  My heart breaks for all these families who have lost everything including loved ones!!  It is just hard to even watch the news.. so devasting.  I just pray for all those involved and so thankful that my family was okay.  Please continue to pray for our state.

 Thursday, I had the day off to go to the doctor.  All was well and I am measuring right on target. Her heartbeat was between 155 and 160 and I go back in 2 more weeks.  After that, it's down to every week.  So, you know you are close. =)

Friday was another big day in the news.  The royal wedding of Prince William and Kate.  I must say I love a good weeding and especially a royal wedding.  The coverage started live at 3 am and although I didn't get up that early, I did get up at 5 to see most of the wedding and of couse, I DVR'd it.  I was a big Princess Diana fan and just loved her.  After going to London several times and seeing all the landmarks, it really is amazing to me how these people live.  Kate looked beautiful as always and the wedding was gorgeous. 

On Saturday, our day was consumed with car shopping.. again!  I feel like that's all we have done over the past few weekends and I am so thankful it is over!! We finally found one that I love and hope it will last for the next few years.  The best news is that I got a bigger car for less money!  =)  Yeah for us!  I feel like a Burkhardt now.. shopping around for the best deal!  I think we made my daddy proud. 

My new ride! 

Today is another baby shower for Burkleigh hosted by close friends! I am looking forward to another fun day of celebrating sweet baby girl!  I can't believe we are getting close. My sweet grandmothers are here  from Selma and several family members from out of town.  It just means so much to me that they got to come.   More pictures to come soon and the nursery too!  We are finally done!! Woo hoo! I just love it!!  I will update that later too! Hope you all have a great and blessed Sunday!
