update on baby tooley!

Well, we went to our appointment last week, and our doctor said baby probably wouldn't be coming this week either-- so Friday (april 3), we're going to go ahead and be induced-- please be praying he'll come before then so I don't have to be induced this time! We'll keep you posted =)

We have a name!

That's right-- it only took 38 weeks for us to decide a name this time-- but we finally have one! Baby Tooley #2 will be:

Joseph Alan Tooley

Joseph means "God will increase", and Alan means "handsome"-- which is also Brett's middle name. We can't wait to meet him (hopefully very soon!)

I haven't decorated a cake since Matthew was born....

Well, it's been a while since I've decorated a cake-- but I'm pretty proud of how it turned out! We had a shower for my best friend Amanda last weekend-- below is the cake and the hostesses-- it was a ton of fun!






Isn't the grass fun?!?


Amanda at 28 weeks, and me at 38. Next picture, she'll have the bigger belly! =)

Murder Mystery from the 50's!

A week ago, our ABF class came over for an evening of bbq and playing this fun murder mystery game--we had the best time hanging out and finding the "murderer"!


the guys, looking so cool- Brett, Darron, Scott, Hulen and Jon

The beautiful gals-- Erin, Elaine, Sarah, Tonia and Nancy

where is baby Tooley?

Well, we are at week 37 this Friday-- and I am ready for this baby to make his entrance into the world! I think we're ready-- we have the bassinet all set up, the double stroller is ready to be used, and some sweet friends threw me a shower last weekend, so we've got diapers to get us rolling! (The shower was just wonderful, and I had a great time!). Here are a few pics from it =).



My good friend Amanda and I-- she's at 26 weeks and I'm at 36!

It's now official!

Well, I can finally post this blog..... Brett and I have been praying about this for some time, and have felt that it's time for me to step down as preschool/children's minister at our church. I'm really excited to be a full-time mommy, and have more time to focus on Matthew and baby Tooley (no, he doesn't have a name yet!) My official leaving date is March 20, so I'll wrap a few more things up and then get ready for baby! The church was really sweet this morning when it was announced. We are very blessed =)

Baby Tooley #2 update

Well, we went to the doctor today for my 32 week check-up (it really has gone by fast!) The doctor said everything looks good, and the baby is already at 4lbs, 12 ounces (which explains why I'm getting so big!) Here's a picture of the baby's head (and no, we don't have a name yet, but I think we're getting close!)
