2013: Our best year yet!

January.
We found out that we were having a GIRL! We had our fun gender reveal party and just thanked God for giving us a daughter! We could not believe it!




 

February.
I was the Bargain Bazaar co-chair. It took a lot of time and was kind of extra tiring being pregnant. But fun as always. 

We started getting the nursery ready! I loved every minute of it!



March.
I had a student teacher and was out of my classroom completely for this month. I stayed locked up in a room writing curriculum which was a nice change of pace, but really different too.

The first season baby was born! Karlynn and Molly Caroline are best friends already! :)

Baby Girl Whelan was finally given a name. :)

We had our birthing class at Archbold. Incredibly fun!

The nursery really started coming along!





April.
We registered for our baby girl! Fun fun!


 
Jacksonville, St. Simons, Destin. We were all over the place!







I had my first baby shower!







We completed the nursery!

I rode in a golf cart in The Rose Show Parade for Teacher of the Year.

May.
Had my second and third baby showers! I loved every second of them! My family and friends are so generous and thoughtful!










 
 
I got put on bed rest! Rest, pedicures, NST's, and made a few trips to Labor and Delivery during this time. Got our bags packed up too!





June.
The best and hardest month of my life probably! Our precious and perfect Molly Caroline was born!
 
 

 

 
 
 
 


 

We celebrated our seventh wedding anniversary.

July.
A month full of visits and dinners from friends. Molly Caroline celebrated her first holiday too!




August.
Labor Day Weekend beach trip to the Georgia Coast.




 

September.
Destin trip with Matt's family!
 


October.
Fall, football games, and pumpkins! Loved everything about this month. 


 

 
November.
Molly Caroline's baby dedication!!! And fun times with our neighbors!


 

 
 
December.
We just did our best to soak up every little thing during the holiday season. Parades, parties, and Molly Caroline's first Christmas!!





 
 
I am thankful that all of our family was healthy in 2013. I really don't know how 2014 can get any better! However, I'm excited about a fresh start and a new year!!!
