Will's Nursery

We are now 95% complete with the nursery. All that is left for us to do is to hang his initials, some pictures, and redo the window treatments.

Haley at 34 weeks...only a few left!

All Aboard!

Hilton Head - 30 Weeks Pregnant

We went to Hilton Head for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful visit with both Brian's and my family. Here are some pics Brian and I took while on our romantic beach walk. I looked over at him and asked "Do you hear that?" and he said "Hear what?" and I said "Exactly. Nothing. Quiet. Maybe for the last time in some time!"

Yes, the water was cold, hence the unfortunate look on my face. I figured that after feasting on turkey, ham, pork, roast beef, and a few other goodies that a walk was necessary. The beach was relaxing and it was good to get outside for a while on a day where drinking and eating consume the majority of our day.





She says - Well...what can I say - this was attempt #7 to get a "together" shot. I look amazing but Brian looks like he's trying to impersonate Matt Damon. Whatever. We're going with it. And yes - it was a "POP" pose for all you that follow my photography skills.


He says - This was not my choice of a photo. Haley made sure that she chose only the pictures where she looked awesome, regardless of how I fared in the lens of the Nikon hand-held weight adding machine (camera)!

She says: This is the photo that Brian liked. So to humor him I let him post it, although I think we'll agree I look like the lost Hanson brother. Um Bop Bop Bop Du Bop. Yuck.

He says: I did not like this picture, as a matter of fact, I tried to hide from the camera all day, but someone insisted that I be in a picture so that people will believe that I exist. I have been known as Haley's make believe husband, similar to the imaginary entity: Samuel.

Last but definitely not least here is the 30 week belly pic. That boy is growin'! All for now!

Love Haley & Brian

A pregnant ALIEN??

This is one of 2 costumes I sported this Halloween season - the Alien mother. I had multilple people ask me - "Is that a real baby in there?" The other costume was a princess. I'll try and get one of those downloaded as well - especially if I look thinner. :)

My first baby shower!

I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends. Last Saturday the 15th my dear friends Brandi, Emily, Kristen, and their mothers threw the perfect shower for me at Kristen's house. I've got to hand it to Kristen - her house looks amazing. The interior design and decor are top notch. It was so nice to see everyone and their little ones - Georgia, Lillie, and the newcomer - Bethany. It was so odd that it was my turn to be the one opening gifts! We had a great time and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I love you guys!

Will needs your help!

We need your help! Please vote which of the versions, if any that you like. The first is a picture without any chair rail, the second is the chair rail only, and the third is the rail with a backing. Please vote and help baby Will finish his nursery!

Nursery

Here are the pictures from Will's nursery after Anne finished painting the train mural. We are trying to decide on the chair rail moldings and finish up the painting. It is almost done! We hope that you love it as much as we do!

Love,

Brian, Haley, Will, Drake, and Macon

WE'RE HAVING A BOY!

Brian and I found out yesterday that we're having a healthy little boy! He was very shy but eventually pulled his knees up to his face and showed us "the goods". We talked to my father and grandfather last night and are so honored to be granted the privelege of using their name "William". We will call him "Will". His middle name is "Granville" which is Brian's Pappaw's middle name. So we found out we're having a boy and he has a name!

"William Granville Krouse"

We'll post pics of the ultrasound and happy pics of us to follow. Thank you for all your prayers and support!
