39 weeks & "Push" present

Well I've made it to 39 weeks!  I can't believe the end is almost here.  I go back to the doctor on Thursday and if everything still looks good she will induce me on Friday.

It is so weird to think that I will have a baby this weekend.  I think I will miss being pregnant and getting to feel Lincoln move around in my belly.  I will not miss feeling uncomfortable!!

My wonderful husband surprised me last night with my "push" present!  I had no idea he had even planned to get me anything.  He decided to give it to me early because I hate opening presents in front of people and he was sure there would be people in and out of the hospital the whole time we are there.  He also wrote the sweetest card.  He is so wonderful!!!!!

The ring is gorgeous!!

I was trying to get a good picture of it.  It has a canary diamond in the center

with white diamond surrounding it and down the sides.

This is a picture from the website.  I love it so much!!

Weekend

Christian and I wanted to make sure and spend as much time together as we could.  Friday evening we ate dinner and watch TV on the couch.  I ended up falling asleep as usual but I still enjoyed it.  Saturday we got up and went to Brocks for breakfast then to Walmart.  We needed to get the oil changed in the Commander and I needed to walk as much as possible.  We were going to rent some movies from Red Box but didn't see anything that interested us.  We went home and watch TV and napped until it was time to go to a cookout at the Stallings.  We had a wonderful time at the cookout and it was great to see everyone and all the babies :)  Sunday was our date day!  We got up that morning and Christian went and bought breakfast from Hardees.  We ate and got ready to go to town.  Before we went to town we stopped by my Mom's house to pick up my new Coach purse.  I love it!!

Originally we were going to see Despicable Me in 3D but ended up running late so we decided to go see The Last Airbender in 3D.  The movie was okay but the 3D wasn't worth the money.  Here is a pic of us in our glasses :)

Christian wanted to wear his glasses the rest of the day :)

After the movie we headed to Hixson to go shoe shopping.  Christian was in need of some new sandals.  We finally found some at Shoe Carnival.  Finally it was dinner time so we decided to try out the new Buffalo Wild Wings in Hixson.  I love hot wings and BW3 are my favorites.  Lincoln was going crazy after I ate because of the spicy wings!  After dinner we went home and sat on the couch until about 8:30pm and decided to go to bed. :)  Christian was up giggling at some TV show forever but I went to sleep.  I had a wonderful time spending the day with my amazing husband.  We are both very anxious (and a little scared) about Friday.

Last week my neighbor dropped off my baby shower present and I love it and wanted to post a picture.

She made it and it looks awesome hanging in his room.

To my Amazing Husband

As it gets closer to time for Lincoln to get here I wanted to say a special thanks to my Amazing Husband.  I probably don't tell him enough how much I love him and how much he means to me.  I know that he has been the one that has been on the bad end of all of my mood swings throughout this pregnancy.  I have gotten mad at him over the most crazy stuff and he has just took it and went on :)  The end of this month will mark us being together for five years. 

Our first Auburn game Sept. 2005

Snowshoe, WV 2006

He taught me to ski.  The only place I had ever tried was a place in AL where it is one hill of straight ice.  He was very patient.  I still get scared when I start going fast and just fall over to stop myself :)

Disney World 2007

This had to be one of my favorite vacations.  We went with Christian's family and spent the week in Disney.  When we first started talking about it I wasn't that excited about going but once we got there I had a blast!

We love going new places together.  Hopefully we will be going to many more.  I know having a child now will make things a little more difficult but it will also make it much more fun!

Christian's 10 year High School Reunion

Fort Walton Beach 2006

Boone, NC 2007

I was a little better at skiing here but then we all got brave and decided to try to snowboard.  We were awful!  It was a lot of fun but I don't think I will be trying that again anytime soon.

May 20, 2009

The best day of my life so far.  I married my best friend and love of my life.  I can't wait to take this next step in our lives together.  I know Christian will be a wonderful Dad.  He loves kids and they love him.  I also know that he will want to apart of everything and will even help with the late night feedings and diaper changes.  Christian, if you are reading this, thank you for everything you have done for me.  Sorry if I have been a pain for the last 9 months but I promise I will try to do better.  I will try not snap at the small things and learn to let them go.  I can't imagine taking this journey with anyone else.  I love you more than you will ever know!

The Proposal!!

Christian and I had been dating for almost 3 years and had been looking at rings.  He knew exactly (I printed out a picture and gave him the website) what I wanted but I thought it would take a lot longer to get the ring.  It was June 2008 and we were going to FL with his parents for a short vacation.  The night before we left Christian was talking to his mom on the phone and I over heard he say "She put it in the glovebox..."  I didn't say anything but the following day I called and check to see if any money was missing from the savings account and it was all there :(.  After finding that all the money was still there I didn't think anything else about him proposing.  We  got to FL Saturday around 1 or 2pm.  Christian kept asking if I wanted to go walk on the beach.  I was tired but finally agreed since he kept on.  His parents and youngest brother decided to go for a walk with us.  As we were all walking back I told everyone to stop because I wanted to get pictures because the sky was beautiful!!  I took a picture of Christian's Mom and Stepdad.  Then Phil (Christian's Stepdad) offered to take a picture of Christian and me so I handed him the camera.

After this picture Christian got down on one knee and proposed.  I was in total shock as you can tell my the look on my face.  When he asked I actually said, "How did you do that?"  He said a simple yes would be great! :)  Oh course I then said yes!!

I had to sit down. I was shaking all over!  I couldn't believe he finally did it!

I am trying to figure everything out here! :)

Showing the ring to his mom.

This is a picture from the following day.  I didn't want to take the ring off so I wore it on the beach.  I was very, very careful and kept my hand in a fist if I got in the water.

This is a picture of the ring from adiamor's website.

This is the band.

We got married almost a year later on May 20, 2009 on the beach in the Bahamas.

Our Anniversary Dinner

Since we just got back from vacation on Tuesday we decided not to go out to dinner to celebrate.  Plus I am usually exhausted after working all day and don't feel like doing anything.  My sweet husband decided to surprise me with Chick fil A for dinner!  He bought a huge tray of chicken fingers and a gallon of lemonade.  I have craved their lemonade the whole time I've been pregnant.  Here is a pic our the chicken finger tray, the top of our wedding cake, the lemonade and the champagne that was sent to our room after our wedding.  We were planning on opening the bottle this year but since I'm pregnant we decided to wait :)

Toasting to a wonderful year and many more to come!!

Eating the year old wedding cake.  I didn't think it was that bad but I am pregnant and love sweets right now.  Christian thought it was awful!

The cake after we tried a bite.

The gorgeous clock that Christian got me for our anniversary.  The new age thing to buy for the first year is a clock.  It is beautiful!!

He also got a little plaque engraved on it.  It reads..

Matisha

You are my best friend

and love of my life.

Happy First Anniversary

May 20, 2010

I love it!  He is so thoughtful!!

I went the traditional route and bought paper...we kind of.  I got him two tickets to watch the Atlanta Braves and a hotel for after the game.

We are also going to go to the Georgia Aquarium the next day.  We both have wanted to go for a while now but just haven't had the chance. 

I also got us both a shirt/jersey to wear to the game.
