First Baby Bump Pic!!

Well - here it is!! My first baby bump pic!  We just took it so it is completely up to date.  This is me nearly 25.5 weeks pregnant - almost 2/3 of the way there!  I will try to do these from now on twice a month so my growing little baby can be seen.  I'm still feeling great.  I went to the doctor this past Friday and everything is looking good.  When I go next month, I do the gestational diabetes test, so I'll keep everyone up to date on that too.

We can't wait to meet McClane in just 3.5 months!!

Love,

No Place Like Home

I've got quite a lot of catching up to do! Grant and I got back from being home to Georgia for nearly three weeks last week and it has taken us some time to get reacclimated to the Boston way of life. We had such a nice visit while we were down there. We didn't need our huge heavy coats, hats, and gloves while we were home. Most of the time, we were fine without even a light jacket. I was able to completely forget how miserable the weather is up here and that was a very nice change!! Here are some pics from our trip down South.

We had a late Christmas with my dad's side of the family once I got down there. My mom and aunt are up top, and my cousins Ashley and Megan are with me on the bottom row.

My mom and I went to Macon on New Year's Eve morning so that I could have a chance to spend a couple of hours with my friend Theresa and her sweet girls Anna Catherine and Kaitlyn.

New Year's Eve night, I was able to see one of my oldest and dearest friends April - she threw a surprise 50th birthday for her parents who thought they were attending a New Year's Eve bash - we celebrated both!

My cousin Megan got married and these are some pictures from her rehearsal dinner and wedding. She was a GORGEOUS bride - she married a wonderful guy Stephen and their wedding was beautiful. I can't believe she's married!!






We were also able to spend some time with our great friends Brooke and Adam and I FINALLY got to meet their adorable little boy Brody. Brody and McClane will be one year apart so it was really fun to imagine what little McClane will be like this time next year. He was soooo cute and his smile really melted my heart. We hope to spend a lot more time with them soon!

There really is no place like home - spending time with family and friends was great!!! We hope our visits become more frequent this year. Love you all!

William McClane Norman

Happy New Year Everyone! We can finally "officially" announce that we are having a little baby boy and we are naming him William McClane Norman. We will call him McClane. He is named after my brother, my Grandfather, and Grant's Grandfather - all named William. We are very excited and have had so much fun sharing the news with our family and friends. We had Christmas stockings monogrammed with his name and gave them to my parents and Grant's mom and that's how they found out what we were having. (That was Grant's great idea!) We could not be more excited and I have already been busy planning the nursery! I can't wait!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and we look forward to an amazing 2009!!

Love,

Lacey & Grant
