Christmas

Lesh and I had a blessed Christmas 2008. We spent Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas day with Lesh's parents. We opened gifts and of course Nathaniel recieved the most! He got a cute UT baby onesie from his Unlce Aaron, Aunt Zenia and cousin Azriel. He got his stroller and car seat from my in-laws. His Aunt Breanna got him his baby thermometer and a very cute toy to go with his activity mat. And of course lots of gift cards that will go towards him! Here are a few pics of Christmas!

Helping Friends

Last night Lesh and I, or should I say just Lesh, helped our dear friends Joy and Tim unload a Uhual truck. Tim and Joy recently got engaged and Tim moved his furniture from Atlanta to Texas. Lesh helped move some big pieces of furniture. Their wedding looks like it will be Easter weekend and I am blessed to be a bridesmaid. I have a lot of working out ahead of me if I want to look good in time for her wedding after having a baby! All my workout sisters out there better hold me accountable to getting my booty back in the gym once I am good to go!

Nathaniel's Coming Home Outfit

The outfit is a gift from my mom-n-law that I absolutely love! I ordered the hat online and the socks and mittens are gifts from friends and family. I truly can't wait to hold Nathaniel in my arms for the first time. I know all you moms can remember the first time you held your precious one.

Nathaniel's Nursery

So as promised I've included pics of Nathaniel's nursery. Lesh and I painted it with the help of my dad and our friends the Nagele's. Lesh put in the chair rail himself and he is quite proud of it! He did a fabulous job for his first attempt at chair rail. The mural is a gift from my friend Kathy. She came over during Thanksgiving break and traced then painted all the rockets and stars and moons. I absolutely love it! Nathaniel is spoiled already. Our dog Checkers is in for a shock when he actually gets to be a dog not "our baby" anymore. Checkers has truly been spoiled. Anyways, enjoy the pics!

The First of Many

Hi Friends! So I'm super excited to write my first blog entry! Can you believe how fast this year has gone by! Especially being pregnant and only 5 more weeks to go has made this year fly. What a great year this has been. Lesh and I planned on getting pregnant in the avg. time frame of 3- 6months, but God had completely other plans and we got pregnant in one month! We are so thankful to God for this blessing that we are getting ready to meet! Nathaniel Joseph Richardson is set to be born on February 4th, 2009. The nursery is pretty much ready and today I washed all his clothes and blankets. We got our stroller and carseat for Christmas from my In-laws and are so excited to see Nathaniel in both. I know our lives are completely going to change, but I know this a great change and a huge blessing from the Lord. I know we will not sleep for awhile, me probably ever again! 2009 is looking like a year of change for Lesh and I. Nathaniel is going to turn our lives upside down, but I know God has great things planned for this little one. I pray that 2009 is a blessed year for you all!
