We had an eventful Memorial Day weekend. Jason was in Atlanta working, so I made the trip out there. Jon, Katie and sweet little Madison were able to come as well. Madison is growing up fast and starting to get a personality and she LOVES her Uncle Jason.

The first day I had to work with Jason (aka tag along in the backseat with no A/C...not fun) and then we all met up at Joey D's for dinner. The must eat item for the guys were the Oyster Shooters. Since I can't eat oysters, I took more of a liking to the Honey Butter Croissants...AMAZING!


We had a chance to see two Atlanta Braves games. The first game we went to, Jason and I had awesome seats, despite a crazed pregnant chick (no, I'm not talking about myself). She insisted we were sitting in her seats (we weren't...she just had pregnancy brain and couldn't figure out section numbers)! Jason joked that he was about to tell the guy "my pregnant wife can beat up your pregnant wife". :) There was a great fireworks show afterwards. The second game was great because we got to sit with Jon & co. and there was a free Scotty McCreery Concert.


After the concert on Saturday, we enjoyed the famous Varsity. It was so good and a really cool experience.


Some other things that we had a chance to experience were:

A trip to North Georgia: We made some stops while driving North Georgia for Jason's work and came across an adorable town called Helen. We bought Aidan some handmade wooden toys there: a truck (that I'm going to paint red like my grandfather's old truck), a yoyo and some alphabet blocks.

Anna Ruby Falls: It was worth the 1/2 mile hike up (we all felt the burn) - it was so beautiful at the top! Madison loved the sound of the water falling too!


Both the homes that Jason and Jon grew up in. Below is a picture of the Roswell home. The other house was in a sketch part of town, so we got out of there too fast to even snap a photo (not joking)!


World of Coca-Cola: Hundreds of old Coke artifacts (the oldest was a 110 year old vase), vintage Coke machines, the vault where the secret recipe is stored and the polar bear (apparently Madison wasn't as excited to see him as the adults!).


And last, but not least, we enjoyed the Stone Mountain Laser and Fireworks show. I didn't get any pictures of that, but luckily Katie was on top of it!




Hope you all enjoyed the pics.

Love you all!

So we'll start with what you have all been waiting for...we have a bump! I'm 23 weeks and 1 day (but who's counting) and it is definitely noticeable now...yay! I know that you all probably don't care that much, but it's fun for me. I had to get a co-worker to take this today, since Jason still refuses to see a bump...


We went to our OB last week and the Maternal-Fetal Specialist today. Everything is checking out just fine.

We had another sonogram today. I have to say that absolutely nothing beats hearing and seeing that precious boy with my wonderful husband by my side; I feel extremely blessed.

Aidan weighed 1 pound and 4 ounces today and is in the 46th percentile, so we're right on track. She also checked for the chiari today and everything looks normal, so that was a nice relief for the both of us.

Both doctors have said that he is a very active little boy, which is something I know all too well. He kicked away the fetal doppler last week when the nurse was trying to get his heartbeat and then today he was kicking at the doctor during the sonogram. Jason said it's a sure sign that he is definitely a Mallette boy....great.

Our doctor tried her hardest to get some clear pictures, but he (once again) would not cooperate and was moving too much. Below is what we could capture.




Well, I'm going to get back to work and then off to buy Jason a maternity pillow so that he will leave mine alone (maybe I should have kept that between the two of us, no?!) ;)

Love you all!

I was going to wait to post next week (when we had a baby update), but the "Boymaker" insisted that our fans needed a post this week.

Last weekend was my birthday and Jason made it a "Babymaker's" dream. He started the night with a DQ blizzard (my biggest craving) and ended the night with a surprise Romantic spread of Oreo's. For a second, I was confused and thought he was about to propose again. It was definitely a pregnant chick's/Oreo lover's paradise! :) Below are pictures of the island and the cake that he crafted. He also took me to an Etsy show here in Dallas, which I loved. I'm a lucky girl!


We went to Canton yesterday to order the nursery bedding and get a few more decor pieces for the shelf. It was already pretty hot this month, so I think it will be our last trip there pre-baby. I hope that Jason can make it until then, because he's become a Canton-aholic.

Below are images of the things we found yesterday. My favorites are the big Aidan sign that will go above the crib and the precious little worn cowboy boots. Jason loved the idea of Roy Rogers or John Wayne in the room somehow, so he picked up that lunchbox as soon as his eyes met it!


I'm sure Boymaker (the comedian of the family...or so he thinks) will have some comments to this post, so check those out as well.

Love you all,
Jason & Kimberly
