The cuteness is overwhelming!

As many of you all know, we've been in the process of moving for about a month now. In that process, we began setting up the nursery/baby room. You see, we knew that we were going to need a baby room in the old apartment but we also knew that we were going be moving so...no sense in getting stuff set up. For a while there, the whole moving thing was a bit of a secret squirrel operation so many people were confused as to why we were being negligent parents-to-be by not setting up the baby room.

Our Big Weekend & More

Last weekend was a big weekend for our soon to be family of three!  On Friday June 22nd I headed over to Roanoke for the 2012 Virginia Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church.  On Saturday, a bunch of family arrived in Roanoke as well.  We met up for dinner at a delicious restaurant before heading over to the Roanoke Civic Center for the "Service for the Ordering of Ministry."  This is the worship service where I was commissioned as a provisional Deacon in The United Methodist Church and officially became Reverend Lyndsie Nicole Kidd Blakely!!  Josh and Sylvia (my pastor) arrived just in time for the service after being at a wedding back in Farmville earlier that evening.  It was so wonderful to be able to celebrate with friends and family.  I'm so blessed to have a family that supports me in my calling to ministry!  Thank you to all who were able to be present with me at the service and for all those who have prayed for me throughout this journey.  It means so much to have your support!  And thankfully, my alb still fit over my BB bump...it's getting pretty tight though!

We're having a...cat?

I promise everyone that this post will, eventually, be about our impending bundle of joy. Now that the disclaimer is out of the way, on to the good stuff.
