Anything Like Me

                                             

 

 

There is so much happening with the Waughs these days that I haven't had time to update this blog very much over the last few weeks.  But here is the news we've all been wondering about since we found out we were expecting.  Will it be a HE? or a SHE?

From the get-go, all but 2 people have guessed that we would be having a baby girl.  The wives tales and even the Chinese calendar (that I'm embarrassed to admit to trying) suggested that we would be seeing pink.  Pink was on the horizon and we even had a named picked out for our girl.   

SURPRISE!!  Baby Waugh is NOT going to be a daddy's girl, but instead will be our handsome little MAN! 

Steven and I were in absolute shock when this picture popped up on the screen.  I just laid there and said, "how sure are you? ... percentage wise... like 75% sure, or is this just an early guess?"  The technician just replied with a simple "yeah, I'm 100%" and a smile.  It took the entire day to sink in that we would be raising a little man.  Okay, it was more than just a day.  We had been so girl focused that I could hardly wrap my head around this ..... A little mini-Steven!?!?  This just got even more real. :)  We watched as our little man turned over and over on the screen, trying to find a comfortable position while we pushed on him.  He waved to us and showed us how incredibly long his legs had already gotten.  Tall is just in his genes.  He has already stolen my heart with his sweet little pouty lips and tiny fingers and while I'm enjoying this part of pregnancy, I cannot wait to meet our SON!

If you've listened to country music in the last couple years, you may have heard this song by Brad Paisley.  It has been on repeat playing over and over in my head since we found out about our little boy!  He lets his little boy sing the end of the song... it melts your heart!

There is a TON we have to learn for this little boy, but if I know anything, it's that he would do well to turn out just like his Dad.

Take Me Home, Country Road

FINALLY!!!!!!!

It seems like I have had to keep this secret for a LONG, long time ... but I can finally announce that we are moving back to Tennessee this summer!!!  The exact date hasn't been set as of right now but it will be sometime in the next 2 months. 

Steven and I have been missing our family and friends so much since we moved to Louisiana, and with baby Waugh on the way this fall we thought it was the right time to make a more permanent move.  Steven will be rejoining his former employer, Eastman, and is really looking forward to getting back to the familiar faces and kind-hearted people of northeast TN.  We will be a lot closer than we are now to both of our families and we are excited to be able to drive home, especially when we become a family of 3 in November! 

We have loved being a part of our church here in LA and have made some life-long friends while being in Shreveport.  It will be tough to make yet ANOTHER move, but knowing all of the sweet friends we are moving back to makes it easier to think about unpacking boxes, again. 

There are a lot of moving parts that have to happen "just right" for this to work with minimal stress, so we covet your prayers as we make the transition this summer (especially while pregnant!) 

Looking forward to seeing all of you Tennesseans, SOON!


And since this is supposed to be the baby's website, here is an updated pic of the recent growth spurt momma and baby had this past week!  15 weeks along!
