It's raining PRESENTS!!!!

BABY SHOWER TIME!

Our friends here in Raleigh threw us an awesome baby shower last week.  It really was a great time hosted by Alex.  Thanks Alex for providing the party.  Any excuse to hang out with our friends while they give us presents is great.  We are awaiting photos from that baby shower so we can share them with all of you. 

After having one Baby Shower here in Raleigh, we decided one would not be enough.  My Mom and Ericka's Aunt in Georgia decided we needed two more.  YES!  We drove down with lightning speed.  The idea of a weekend away from the dog and hanging out with friends and family sounded wonderful.

Ericka and I headed out to Warner Robins and Savannah for 2 more baby showers this past weekend.  We hoped to see friends and family and that some people would show up.  What we got was EPIC!  We got a ton of friends and family lined up with beautiful PRESENTS.

Seriously Thank all of you who took the time to help share in our special moment as we prepare to make the world bigger by one.  It really meant a lot to us.  It was a great time, and good to see people we have not seen for a while since our relocation to North Carolina.

To those who sent presents all the way from Peru that was very special.  We know we are separated by thousands of miles, but it made it feel like you were there.  So now with the glory of Al Gore's internet, you can be.

Here is the web album from the party.

By the way, WE GOT A TON OF STUFF!  THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!  WE CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!

Trading Spaces: Belly Edition

This week Eva has decided to add on to another room.  She needs space and she needs it now.  She has found interesting things to do in her spare time like playing the cajon on Erickas organs.  She is kicking pushing and poking because she needs more room.  The Belly is finally reflecting the remodeling job.

Yep the shirt cannot fit over the belly, which will work for our perspective purposes.  From here on out you should see more belly and less shirt.  That will let you know how things are progressing.

One more note.  The belly button is now out.  The innie is now an outie.  It is like Eva's doorbell.  Push it she wakes up and proceeds to perform a Tae Bo routine inside of Ericka.  Not that I can touch the doorbell without Ericka getting mad.  Does that stop me? NO. 

We are getting there.  GROWING AND GROWING!!!

What to Wear!!

We finally have some pictures of Ericka in some lovely maternity wear.  All who have asked for this get ready she may never let me take another picture.  The paparazzi (me) finally caught up to her and were able to snap some good photos.

So work it girl.  Pose for that camera. 

Inspirational music below!!

 

DSC_0473 I have a graduate degree!!

DSC_0474 SAAASSSSY!

DSC_0502 SI, ES FASHION!

DSC_0464 Pay no attention the the hat!

DSC_0465 FABULOUS!

DSC_0466 Perhaps one to many accessories... like that hat!

She really is a very cute pregnant lady.  She will say she doesn't look good or has lost her figure, but she is gorgeous to me.  So if this blog gets a vote we say stay SHE'S HOT!

Love ya babe!

Eva appears!

Eva could not wait to hang out with all of us so she got together with some movers and shakers in LA and shot a music video.  I know I was shocked but the proof is all there.  She then decided her adoring audience would like to see it through the magic of youtube.

By popular demand...... Eva Jimmerson Stars in Kicking Mommy!

These pictures were taken when we went to a place that does 4-D sonograms.  It was amazing.  We got to hang out on the same bed while they scanned Ericka's belly and we eventually got to see the face of our unborn child.  It was so wild.  It was amazing how lifelike it actually was.

This child is stubborn.  First ti took forever for the child to come into full view.  Then once she did she kicked her feet and threw her arms around like she was practicing judo.  Seriously, it took many maneuvering pushes and taps of the belly in order for her to finally pose for photos for the fans.  She is STUBBORN!  Ahem, like ERICKA!  OK that will get me yelled at, but these days not much doesn't get me yelled at.

Growing and growing!!!

Back by popular demand we have more photos of the belly and a fashion show.  So without further delay, we present live and in living color BELLY.

Week 23

Ericka was caught sucking in her belly so I took the photo again.

DSC_0431 CHEATING!

This is the more correct week 23 photo

DSC_0434 Not Cheating!!!

See, I caught you cheating and not showing all the real estate that little Eva is building.  Her father is an engineer so I assume she will be

Week 25

Two weeks later (and in the same outfit in case you cannot tell) we make another photo session of Eva's house a.k.a. Mommy's belly.  We can see she is constructing new areas but do not know how big or how much more space she is going to need.

DSC_0437 Eva adds some more room.

As you can tell we are having a significant growth spurt.  We will have more photos this week, which will be week 27.  Be on the lookout.
