September with the Masseys

Here's a recap of September with our family...

1. Evans Football. They are 4-0! Gehrig has done great at the games! We were nervous about him staying up so late for the games, but he just listens to the iPod and cuddles with Mommy when he gets tired in the 4th quarter. Of course, when the games are over, he is reenergized to visit with Daddy on the field. He knows well how to say, "Go Knights!" We're not sure how many more (if any) we'll make it to with Baby Greer so close, but we are thankful for text messaging with Daddy to keep up with what's going on.

2. Labor Day Weekend. Daddy and Gehrig visited Fort Discovery for the first time while Mommy got a haircut. They had so much fun! G especially liked the big helicopter outside, the big grasshoppers and the ball that went round and round and down the hole! The rest of our Labor Day weekend was spent visiting with B's family at the lake and going to Gehrig's "girlfriend, Kiki's" birthday party.

3. Our Last Trip Before Baby. We made our last trip before Greer's arrival to Atlanta. We enjoyed visiting with friends and family and braved the tens of thousands in Piedmont Park to go see Dave Matthews. It was a long, hot, crowded afternoon, but turned out great by the time DMB started playing at 8pm. We especially enjoyed the time with Slade & Jessica and our friends, the Summers. I'm not sure any other 8mths pregnant women were there, but I made it! The walk back to the Marta station was the hardest part! We also enjoyed Buckhead Church on Sunday. It is always such a blessing to be there!

4. Baby Showers. We have been overwhelmed with all that friends and family have done for us to help us prepare for Greer. Jenn, Kelli & Amanda threw a girls' night out/shower at Macaroni Grill, Wesley threw a shower luncheon and our Sunday School class held a girls' afternoon out/shower at Panera. They were all so nice! We got lots of goodies for Greer and feel blessed by everyone's thoughtfulness.

5. UGA vs. UA. Our marriage survived the game. Congratulations to all the Dawgs. (That's all there is to say about that.)

6. A Sad Move. Gehrig's girlfriend moved away. Mommy & Daddy's friends too. We were so bummed to see Chad, Kelli & Katelyn off to northwest Georgia last week. After talking about his buddy Clay and girlfriend Kiki moving to "Chattanooga," Gehrig announced, "I go to Chattanooga too. I'm a big boy!" We were so thankful to have good time with them last week and can't wait to see them again soon. Note to the few people left that we know in Augusta...no more.

7. Baby Greer Update. Last, but definitely not least! At our doctor's appointment on Friday, we learned that I am 2-3cm dilated. Wow, we were not expecting that news so soon! We are hoping that we make it to/past this Thursday (37 weeks) for her to be full term and are busy, busy making preparations for her arrival! Thank you for your prayers...we'll keep you posted.
