Baby Shower!

This past weekend we went home to Cincinnati for our first baby shower. My Aunt, cousin, and mom were very creative and it was a lot of fun. The theme was "baby feet." It was a co-ed shower so I was able to spend time with most of my family, which was really nice. (We sure did miss my brother not being there though.) We got lots of needed items for Landen and some really cute shoes/socks. Jesus even sent down a special package of a pair of sandals. A note was included which said, "He will guard the feet of his saints (1 Samuel 2:9). . . He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; He enables me to stand on the height (2 Samuel 22:34). . . He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand (Psalm 40:2)." The shower was alot of fun. We played all the silly/fun games. My Nanee and Peepaw really got into some of them. Here are some pictures!
The yummy cake! How cute! :)

My cousin Jama, Aunt Loraine, mom, me! ~ Thank-you for the fun shower! :)


Here is a picture of Chad and I at 29 wks! I'm getting bigger and bigger by the day. Little Landen weighs about 3 pounds as of the 28 wk check up. And he continues to grow. His little movements are becoming very strong. He has begun to kick/hit me really hard in one spot that really hurts, but I still love the feeling. As I have learned he is able to hear sounds outside of the body a lot easier Chad and I have tried to include him into all the conversations. And I'm sure by now he has his song memorized.

"This little light of Landen, He's gonna let it shine. This little light of Landen, He's gonna let it shine. This little light of Landen, He's gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine."

I know God is going to use Landen as a light in this world. We pray daily for his safe arrival and the good works God is going to do with and for him.



We are now 30 Wks today! Since Chad was a good 3 weeks early and I was a week early, we expect to see him soon! Love~ The Taflingers :)

28 wks

On March 7th we went for the 28 wk check up. Time flies! We can not believe we are already in our last trimester. I am enjoying how active Landen has become. He is warming up those legs to be a soccer player and track runner! :) I think he's gonna take after his momma. At the check up I was measuring a little small so the doctor wanted to do another ultrasound to make sure things are progressing correctly. So on March 12th we went for an ultrasound. We found out that not only is he measuring fine he is actually a little bigger than they thought. Although they aren't going to change the due date, he is measuring more towards May 26th not the 28th. Here are a few pictures from the appointment.

Look at those cute toes!



Here he is making a fist at us!



Love this picture. If you look real close you can see him looking directly at you. Although there is a shadow on part of his face you can see him pretty well.



Side Profile!



Just a nose shot! Look for the two holes! He thinks he is funny already! :)

So things are progressing. We are getting more and more excited. Only two months left! :)
