Texas A&M plays in the Cotton Bowl tonight and Jake is getting ready for the big game (we need a win in the Lewis house!)

He left for work this morning wearing his lucky A&M shirt:

class of '05

C'mon Aggies- beat the hell outta lsu!

it's a...

BOY!

Although, most people already knew that.  So the shock value wasn't really there. Oh well... it's still fun to act surprised!

My family wasn't too surprised.  I grew up in a house of all girls (plus my poor dad), but it seems like Eoff girls are destined to have boys.  Baby Boy Lewis will be the 3rd grandson to join the family (no granddaughters yet...).  

We are very excited to begin planning, buying, decorating, etc.  And by we, I mean mostly I.  Jake gets to do the hard labor (assembling, painting, carrying things up to the 3rd floor). I think he can manage!

Here are some fun things we've received so far:

Sophie Giraffe

we have received a few of these!

A&M shoes

cute books

a book about Houston

here i am!

New Years Resolution #1: be a better blogger.

I could make lots of excuses. Example: busy with the holidays, traveling, being pregnant.

But really I've just been a bit lazy.  

I've also been surfing the web like crazy reading blogs and looking at all things baby related (toys, clothes, nurseries, etc).

Jake and I have so much to do and I'm already (just about) half way through the pregnancy.

Since I'm so behind, here are a few pics from the past couple of months:

haha, Jake grew a mustache for the month of November. handsome, huh? Happy 29th Birthday Jake!

looking very poufy and poodle-like and in the holiday spirit!

Christmas pictures and baby posts coming soon!

garland

We don't know yet if lil' Lewis is a boy or girl (we find out soon!),

but I have already begun searching for really cute decorations!

I have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to hang some wall pennants & garland in my house.  

I think a baby room will be just the place.

Giraffe Wall Flag

Cotton Candy Pom Garland

Elephant Garland

Scalloped Fabric Garland

in case you were wondering...

"what should I get Summer for Christmas?" I made this handy list.

super cute blanket from West Elm

leopard print belt

love this!

Anthropologie

Don't worry: I'll make Baby Lewis a list too!

Monday Mood

Monday Mood: feeling cold.

I mean it's practically freezing in Houston (it is 50 degrees!).

I'm roaming around the house in a sweatshirt and my favorite fur-lined moccasins.

Who knows if I'll survive when we head off to St. Louis in a few days and cold west Texas for Christmas...

On a side note:

here's a cute pic of the 2 boys napping yesterday:

Also, sending out love, thoughts, and prayers to a friend in need right now.
