Merry Christmas Everyone!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. Andy had a wonderful 1st Christmas. He got to meet lots of family and friends. For Christmas we were in Eunice staying with Billy's family. We had a blast. During our stay, Andy was able to meet great grandmas, great aunts and uncles, and cousins. He loved it! My parents, Grandma, and Aunt Christi and Uncle Glenn came to Eunice Thursday afternoon and visited with Andy too. Here are a few pics from our stay in Eunice. We head to Shreveport later this week to have Christmas with my side of the family. The fun never seems to stop!!! YEAH!!!

A Great Visit

A few weekends ago, Billy's parents, Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw, came to visit. We had a great time and Andy loved getting to play with them. They were nice enough to watch Andy while Billy and I went out and did a little Christmas shopping. We are looking forward to Christmas and spending it with lots of family and friends. Enjoy the Christmas holidays!

Growing like a weed!

Hey everyone!
Our little Anderson is growing like a weed. He's almost 10 pounds after we visited the doctor for his month old check-up. Andy is a healthy and happy little boy. The latest thing Andy has been doing is smiling and laughing a lot. It's so exciting to see and hear him make his little noises. We are so blessed. Here's a little video of Anderson enjoying his tummy time... not really. He doesn't seem to like it at all!

First Outing

Ok so I was told not to get Anderson out of the house for 2 months, but you know we just needed stamps, and to mail some bills, and Billy just needed his dry cleaning!!! SO.... I thought Andy and I were up for the challenge. Let me just say it was wonderful to get out of the house and not to mention it was a beautiful day! It was sunny and not very cold at all. We ran our few errands and little bit slept the entire time. I think he's going to do great in a few weeks when we are on the road visiting family for Christmas!

Thanksgiving

Here we are at Thanksgiving with the fam! Andy got to meet his aunt, uncle, and baby cuz Jaylin. It was a hoot trying to get those two to look at the camera... what did we expect them to do, be models! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Andy also got to meet his Uncle Moon! He loved all the company and of course all the noise!

Introducing Anderson Alexander

Hey everyone!!!

Well Billy and I have been blessed with a wonderful gift. For those you haven't heard, Anderson was born November 17 at 8:15pm. He was 20 inches long and weighed 7 pounds, 13 ounces. For the first two weeks of his little life we had family at our house to meet him and help Billy and me out. It was so nice to have family here during those weeks. I didn't realize just how worn out I would be. Things have been wonderful with Andy here. He is doing great and growing. I think he's going through a growth spurt. He's eating all the time. He's adorable and we can't wait for you all to meet him. Here are a few pictures from when he was born up until now.

The day has been set!

Hey everyone!
We went to the doctor this afternoon and it looks like little Gothreaux is in no hurry to enter this crazy world, but we are planning to induce and begin the process Monday morning at 8:00 a.m. Billy and I will then get to meet our little bundle of joy sometime that day... hopefully... on Aunt Jo's birthday. Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers. We'll keep you updated!

The Anticipation Builds

Hello everyone! Well we are three days away from our official due date. We go back to the doctor on Thursday and if our little man hasn't entered the world yet, we will schedule an induction. We have been walking, eating Mexican food, and I heard even fish will speed up the process, but our little one will arrive on his own timing. While I have been trying to sleep and stay comfortable, Billy has been so patient and encouraging. He also has been busy studying for a test for work. Poor Bill! He's been put through the ringer these last few days... I know he's ready for Little Gothreaux to be born too. We will keep you all posted with any future news.

4 weeks to go....

I can't believe we are four weeks away from meeting our little boy. Actually it could be sooner. Oh my! I just can't believe how time has just flown by. Billy has been busy getting all the necessities put together and ready for Baby G's big day! He really enjoyed the chair that Baby G's Mimi and Poppy gave him this past weekend. Billy said he was going to have to get him one too!

First Baptist Shower

Sunday, many friends and family members gathered together and expressed their love by giving us a baby shower. It was awesome and again such a blessing. Thanks again to EVERYONE who shared with Billy and me in this exciting time of our life. We are eagerly awaiting Baby Gothreaux's arrival... one day we'll have a name for this poor child!

Showered with Blessings!

My amazing co-workers were so sweet and thoughtful to give me a baby shower. It was such a great time. Everyone was so generous and extremely giving! It was a wonderful time to catch up and visit outside of work. The Lord is so good and has revealed himself to me in so many situations through these last eight months. These next four weeks are going to fly by, but I know just like the Lord has protected me through the course of my pregnancy, He'll do the same through labor and delivery.

Fun in Eunice

Sunday was a blessing too! Due to the most recent hurricane, my shower in Eunice was postponed. It was rescheduled for Sunday, September 28. It was a beautiful shower! Everything done and everyone helping were so thoughtful. Receiving such wonderful things really made it more real that within 5 weeks I'll be a mommy!!! Thanks to everyone who has been involved in this special time in our life. We couldn't have made it without you guys! Keep us in your prayers as the arrival of Baby Gothreaux gets closer!

Gold Game

Before LSU played Mississippi State family and friends gathered around to shower Billy and me with love, support, and gifts. It was a perfect day to tailgate and have a shower before a game. Thanks again for everything everyone did. We really appreciate everyone's thoughtfulness. Billy and I loved getting to see everyone and catch up with friends we hadn't seen in awhile.
