Myrtle Beach was great! We had so much fun! The photo uploader is acting up, so it won't let me upload any pics but we had a great time :) It has been way too long since we went on a family vacation! I can't believe that next time we'll have a new little man along with us! CRAZY!!!
Today we are cleaning and getting ready to head to TN Friday for a long weekend with Melissa! I can't wait to be up there with her again, and Nathan has been wanting to see her and her new house too! Toby gets to tag along this time, and he gets to meet his new buddy Bailey! We can't wait to watch them play together... haha!
Well, off to some cleaning with the hubs, work for 2 days and then headed to TN!!!

It's a BOY!!!
So, I know this is several weeks late, but IT'S A BOY!!! We are so excited! Nathan's face during the ultrasound was absolutely priceless :) Everything is going well, and little baby Coggin is perfectly healthy. I got to see all 4 little heart chambers, and the ultrasound lady even showed me a nice pretty view of his aortic arch! I was definitely looking for those 4 chambers!! We can't believe how quickly we are approaching this little miracle. I will be 24 weeks Saturday! Last week we went to register, and we had so much fun! And this week we started cleaning out the baby's room which is amazing. It has been a busy and incredible time in our lives and we are absolutely loving it!
I absolutely STINK at updating this... obviously... but we are super excited about going to the beach TOMORROW!!! We are mostly all packed and running some last minute errands today, dinner wth some great friends, and then heading to the beach with my fam in the morning! We are so ready to sit in the sun, and I am even excited about my little maternity bathing suit. Didn't think that would ever be something I actually liked. We will definitely post pictures from the beach when we get back. And on Monday we are going for our 24 week appointment, which just happens to be on our 2nd Anniversary!!! HOORAY!!! Anyway, back to getting ready for our little beach vacay! I'll try not to wait so long before I get on here again!

Oh My...
... the past two weeks have been insanely crazy...
Mother's Day, or rather "Mother-To-Be Day" was amazing :) Nathan knew I have been wanting a nice camera before the baby and he got me one. I have my first Sony SLR camera, and I am loving it. We are both loving taking pictures of anything we can, and hopefully we'll be used to it by the time the baby is here!
Tennessee... Clarksville, TN to be exact was great. The bf moved up there, her house is ADORABLE, and we had so much fun just hanging out and decorating and putting things together. It was amazing, and I can't wait to go back and see her again later this summer! We're so proud of our MD!!!
In the midst of all these great things, a good friend of ours was in the hospital in critical condition. After I got back from TN we spent a few days at my brothers so we would be close to Piedmont and even closer to Egleston for me. So I was at Greg's, work, or Piedmont visiting our friend. And Nathan was at Piedmont all day while I was working. For all my medical friends out there... blood clot, piece broke off and, of course, went to pulmonary artery... cardiac arrest... intubation... CPR... it was bad. Last week, on Saturday, this man was awake and in his room in the stepdown unit with his wife and baby girl. It was INCREDIBLE to see this very special family together in one room. We were all smiles. Hopefully, he will even be coming home soon. Prayers and prayers and prayers were answered, and we are all SO very grateful for God's incredible work with this family.
WHEW! I told you it was crazy. Oh my... is really all I can say. So hopefully now I will have a little more time to blog :) On a baby note, I am 18 weeks today! WE CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I can't believe June is almost here... which is when we have our 20 week ultrasound! We are so excited to find out boy/girl, and hoping everything is where it's supposed to be in our new little one. I will just be looking for 4 chambers in that little heart!!!
Here are some pics from the past couple weeks!
18 weeks!!!
Me and Toby had a photo shoot with the new camera... haha
Courtesy of my wonderful husband, there are actually a TON of pictures, but here are a few!

14 weeks and counting...
Saturday I was officially 14 weeks. We spent the day in Athens for Linsey's graduation, and we were so glad to be there! It was a great day :)
The countdown for Nathan until the kids are out for summer is at 19 days now! He is SO ready!!! I am ready for it too! 3 days of work and 4 days with the hubby... SWEET!!! We are so excited about this summer and can't wait to spend tons of time together, especially with the baby coming this Fall. THIS FALL... that still sounds so weird!
Here are a few of "14 week pictures"!!!

Zipper-less
Maternity pants are zipper-less. I can't count the times that I have looked down thinking I forgot to zip my pants when there is actually no zipper... haha. This is a habit about a quarter of a century old, and it is driving me crazy! I continue to freak out, look, and then think, "what a dummy I am". Anyway, there is my two cents about maternity pants :) For awhile all my regular pants would still zip and I could "rig" the button to make them work. Well, not anymore! There is no button and no zip, so maternity pants it is. My friend, Crystal, gave me several pair of pants and that has been so helpful. Other than that I have been sale shopping around (not that I don't sale shop all the time anyway) I was also presently surprised last weekend to find out that Ross has a small maternity section. I got a few things for such a good price! Also, last week we had our 12 week appointment. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time (at 8 wks you can see it on the ultrasound but can't hear it). That was very cool and felt so surreal that this thing on my belly was hearing a heartbeat. It was awesome.
On a note other than "baby", soccer season is officially over for Nathan. He (along with every other teaching I know) is counting down the days until summer! They are all so ready, and I don't blame them one bit. They definitely earn their summer break! I got to spend last weekend with my parents, and that was great. We had a yard sale at the daycare, and at a whopping $50-something I was the yard sale champ. The rain was not good for us... It was a fun day though. I'm almost done with night 1 of 3 and then it is off to my sister-in-law's graduation at UGA! It will be great to spend the day with everyone, and I even got a cute little dress to wear :) Now I just can't wait to get home and crawl in bed for some good sleep. There is nothing like crawling in bed after you have been up all night :)

Love :)
I love this... being at home with this man. When I used to dream about the "fairy tale life" as a little girl - well, this is it. I was probably wearing a little makeup in the fairy tale though... haha!
I, too, love this. I love that he loves the belly, I love that he rubs it, and I love that it makes him smile :)
Here is the "official" 13 week picture. Wow, I feel like this looks huge compared to the 12 week picture! This is also a little tighter shirt so you can see all the belly in all its glory, but I still love it :)

Second Trimester
We are officially 3 days into the 2nd trimester... wahoo! Here is a little pic of the "3 of us". (Yes, my Christmas plates are totally still on the wall... haha) I actually forgot they were there until I saw this pic! Anyway, we are so excited, and we can't wait for October but are ready to enjoy the summer together before the baby comes! I am so ready for the school year's end so we can just have fun and "nest" together soon!
You can kind of see the belly in this pic :) All the ones we have taken from the side look weird... haha. They are safely saved on my computer but won't make it up here just quite yet. This pic was a week ago - so 12 weeks pregnant. More to come soon :)
