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.

32 and Counting

I can't believe it's already the middle of September. Things around Monticello are going great. Work has kept both Billy and me super busy. I guess that's why I can't believe it, but I'm 32 weeks along. On my goodness... 8 weeks to go. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we get closer to the day we meet out little boy!

Welcome Baby J

Billy and I visited Micah and Sheena this past weekend and got to meet Baby Jaylin for the first time. Billy and I are super excited to be an aunt and uncle. We fell in love with her right from the moment we met her! Jaylin is so sweet and oh smells so good. She is such a laid back baby... I wonder who she gets that from? It was sweet watching Billy as he sang to Jaylin whenever he held her. Needless to say, one of the songs he sang was Hey Fighting Tigers! He's going to be a great daddy come November! We really enjoyed our stay in Oklahoma and look forward to the next time we'll see them again.

Happy Happy Birthday BILLY!

Yes, it was quite a birthday for Billy and a big one at that. Billy turned 35 August 30. He was so excited to be spending his birthday in Tiger Stadium. We had a great time... as we applied and reapplied sunscreen throughout the game. The game was a killer considering it was moved to 10:00am. After the game we headed to Eunice and stayed the night with Mrs. Janet and Mr. Lynn. Early Sunday morning, we (several of Billy's family and Lou Lou) headed to Monticello where we had a big hurricane party for several days. I loved every minute of it. I loved having everyone over. Thankfully no one had damage done to their home. Praise the Lord!

The Nursery

I can't believe it! Billy and I are going to be a mommy and a daddy... real soon. We are so excited and looking forward to the day we get to meet our little boy. The baby's furniture came in last weekend and we were eager to get the room cleaned out and ready to set up. Billy worked hard at putting it all together. He did a great job. The nursery is still a work in progress, but we wanted to share with you guys what we've done so far.
