Whitney & Blake

Whitney has been one of my best friends since my first few months of college and she is getting married May 18th ( my birthday) to her love Blake! If I have to share my birthday with anyone I am glad its them!  This past weekend Jordan and I packed up and headed to Birmingham for their couples shower that we helped host! The shower was at a bar in downtown Birmingham called Pale Eddies.I really wish I had taken more pictures, but I had Whitney send me a few and I have some not so good cell phone pictures that I took before the party started!

The soon-to-be Henson's!! 

All of the girls! 

I had so much fun getting to see all of these girls that I miss so much! It feels like we were just in college yesterday... has it really been almost 5 years?! 

I am so excited that Whitney has found her sweet Blakey and I cant wait for their wedding in a few short months!! 

It's A.....

BOY!!!!

I still cannot believe it! We are so excited! I have to say I am a little bit still in shock, because I JUST KNEW it was a girl! HA, he sure fooled me! Jordan is already planning his baseball career! To say he is excited would be an understatement! We already had  a boy and girl name picked out, which I was glad about because now I feel like he is a little person that I CANNOT wait to meet!

Camden Thomas Cowart, is the name that our sweet boy will have! Jordan come up with the name Camden all on his own and there was NO turning back, he loved it, so it stuck. Thomas is my Daddy's name and I always knew that if I ever had a boy, he would be named after him.

We had the best experience finding out the gender. I heard about the place we went - The Prenatal Experience from a few friends and now I must say I HIGHLY recommend it. It was so great having both of our families there with us to find out.

This was "Team Boy" before we found out.

Team "Girl"

And After... IT'S A BOY!!

And the boys.. I think they were just a little excited!! 

I know one day Camden will be mad at me for showing this, but oh well!

There is NO  mistaking... IT.IS.A.BOY!! 

Jordan and I are SO lucky to have such a wonderful and supportive family, we are so glad they could be there with us yesterday! Thanks to my mom for the signs and balloons! 

Now let the nursery decorating and shopping BEGIN!! 

And Baby Makes 3.....

Well maybe baby makes 4 if you count our "first" child, Berkley!

Baby Cowart

Hubby and I are so excited to welcome our first little miracle, July 23rd!! I am 15 weeks and 3 days, today! So I am past my first trimester, which for most is the worst, hopefully it was mine too. Even though I wasn't throwing up every minute, I felt like I wanted to 90% of the time. Almost any food smell, about sent me over the edge, BLAH! My bed time was about 7:00 pm each night because after pouring out my energy into my 20 sweet Kindergartners all day, I was done! I am finally starting to get my energy back and can stay up to about 9:00 pm!!

Since I am instant gratification kind of girl, the SECOND I knew I could find out what the gender of the baby was at 15 weeks, I had to find a way to find out ASAP! My doctor does the gender ultrasound at 20 weeks... 20 WEEKS... are you kidding!! Doesn't he know I have a nursery to do, things to get monogrammed?  So after some research and talking with a few friends I found a place called The Prenatal Experience  that lets you do a gender reveal as early as 15 weeks. I decided to wait one week longer, just to make sure that there is no mistakes in figuring out what our little "pea" is! So the date is set, THIS Tuesday at 6:30! We also get to invite up to six people to come in and watch the baby's ultrasound on a big screen, and we will all get to find out together. My parents, Jordan's parents and our sisters will all get to be there! To say I am excited is an understatement, I have been counting down the days!! I am crossing my  fingers for a little bow girl, and Jordan has visions of baseball practice and football throwing, but either way as long as the pea is healthy we will be happy with either!

Third Time Is a Charm, Right?

Yep, it's true, this is my THIRD attempt at keeping up with a blog! I said when I got married I would start one, FAIL. Maybe when we buy a house and get all settled, FAIL! But now since we have a REAL reason (another blog to come) to start one, I am more determined than EVER to keep this one going.... we will see how it goes! I am hoping I keep up with it because I am such a blog stalker myself ! 

It sure has been a while.....

So, I am the worst "blogger" ever! I was SO excited to start a blog and I have completely neglected it! I figured that since I am out of school for the summer I will have some extra downtime to catch up with my blog! Jordan and I have been very busy and had many exciting things happen since the last time I updated!! So this post might be very long.....

The first and most exciting thing that we have been up to is that.... WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!!

What a process that was! When it was all said and done.. we ended up with a cute 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house in the neighborhood of Southwood. Jordan is living there now and come October ( when we get married) it will become my home too!!!

When we bought the house it had not been lived in for quite some time and it needed some TLC! Thanks to our families, lots of "paint parties" and Jordan's wonderful handy-man skills we have already made a lot of progress!! Here are some pictures from right after we bought it...

Is Jordan and I's NEW HOME!!!! Today, we finally heard back from the bank, that we are approved to go through with purchasing the house! So, now we are going through the LONG process of getting a loan and actually buying the house! We are hopefully going to close on or before December 20th! Which is perfect because, I will have two weeks off from school to start fixing up the house!

Jordan and I have decided that he is going to move in and I will move in after we get married! So, I will have plenty of time to get it all ready! We are SO excited!!
