Wow guys…I'm SOOOO sorry…I don't even have a valid excuse as to why I haven't updated…I feel awful…I can't apologize enough…thank you to all of you who continue reading eventhough it takes me forever to update!!

By the way…to Jannett Lopez….I think the part you're talking about is this…

"I'm not carrying that." I said, pointing at her purse. "It doesn't match my shoes." I joked. She rolled her eyes.

"Let's go." She said, grabbing my hand and pulling me to my car. I opened the door for her to get in, then went on the driver's side and got in.

That's Landon talking…not Jamie…so yeah…maybe that clarifies a little bit. And thanks to you and Shadowroamer for the name suggestions…I like them all! Not sure what I'll use though! We'll see…

"LANDON! Hurry up!" I called upstairs. "I have to be at your mom's in 5 MINUTES!"

Today was my baby shower and of course, it was the day that my husband HAD to be late.

"Don't stress out!" He yelled as he came downstairs. "We wouldn't you to have the baby in the middle of the living room would we?" he joked.

"Funny. When it happens you won't be laughing." I rolled my eyes and he chuckled.

"Well hurry up Jamie!" he teased as he walked out the back door.

"Landon Carter…what to do with you…" I said to myself as I shut and locked the door behind me. I got into his black SUV and shut the door. He looked at me and rolled his eyes and I laughed.

"What?"
"Geez…what took you so long?" he joked, winking at me.

"Just drive." I said as he pulled out of our driveway. We got to his mom's right on time, even with Landon being incredibly late.

"I'll see you later…I'm going out with Eric."

I looked at my watch. "Well…it's 1 now…and the shower ends at 3:30…so you better be here in an hour and a half…gotta make your guest appearance."
"But Jamie…" he whined.

"Hey stop whining. I have to spend all afternoon with the crazy church ladies and all of our crazy relatives…particularly your crazy relatives."
"Hey…that's love babe." He said, leaning in and kissing me.

"Yeah…love you too. See you at 2:15. No later." I said, getting out of the car and walking into my mother-in-law's house.

"Hi honey!" Mrs. Carter said as she opened the door for me, and stepped out of the way so I could walk through.

"Hi mom." I said, smiling and hugging her.
"How are you feeling? How's my grandbaby?"
"We're great. She's a little hyper today." I said, placing my hands on my growing stomach.
"She?" She questioned me, raising her eyebrows. I rolled my eyes.

"Your son claims that he knows that it's a girl."
"Any names? Narrowed down yet?"
"Well…some that we like are Mackenzie, Haley, Madison, Emily and Lauren for girls. For boys, we liked Nathaniel, Zachary, Noah, Christopher, Jacob, David, Daniel, Matthew, and Jordan. But we pretty much have it narrowed down to either Lauren Madison and Emily Mackenzie and for boys it's down to Matthew David or Zachary Jacob. But in the next three months…who knows…we could come up with some other name that we like better."
"Well I like them all so whatever you decide is good. I, however, like Emily Mackenzie and Zachary Jacob better."
"Yeah…Landon picked those." I smiled.
"He has good taste." She pointed out.

"He sure does." We paused for a minute.

"Would you like something to eat? Everyone will be here in about ten minutes.
"Sure I would." I said, walking into the kitchen where two of Landon's cousins were sitting.
"Hey Jennifer. Marisa." I said, nodding to the girls.

"Hey Jamie. How've you been?" they asked, hugging me.
"I'm great. A little tired. A little sore. My husband's been making me go shopping for things for the nursery with him." I said, rolling my eyes. "Doesn't help that I'm pregnant."
"You poor girl. What a mean son I have." Mrs. Carter said and I nodded in agreement.
"Gotta love him though." I said, winking as I heard the doorbell. I opened the door, seeing about 10 bustling ladies from our church who were giddy with excitement.
"Hello dear!" They all said, hugging me and kissing my cheek left and right. They kept patting my belly and telling me that I was glowing. I just nodded politely and motioned for them to go into the living room. "This should be fun…" I said to myself sarcastically as I shut the front door and joined the rest of the ladies in the living room.

2:15 couldn't have come sooner enough. Although I loved these people, I had to admit, the only person I wanted to see was my husband. I smiled as he ran through the door, right on time. He came up to me and kissed me gently on the lips.
"How's it going?" he asked me quietly.

"Save me." I whispered and he laughed.
"It can't be that bad…"
"Oh yes it can…." I said, illustrating my point by gesturing to his great aunt Elizabeth.
"Oh…I see your point." He said, laughing as she came over.

"There's my favorite nephew!!! How are you Lawrence?" she asked, hugging my husband and I stifled a laugh.

"It's Landon…" he whispered.
"Yes. Yes. I know Larry."
"Landon." He said again, but she ignored him. "Your wife Janice is glowing."
"It's Jamie." I corrected her.
"Sorry Janna. Well, I better get going. Great to see you Langdon."
Landon just rolled his eyes. "Bye Aunt Elizabeth." He said as she left.

"She was a little closer that time." He told me, rolling his eyes.
"She certainly is an interesting character…you'll never guess what she got us…"
"What?" He asked, suddenly becoming nervous for my answer.

"A breast pump." I said quietly and his eyes got wide.
"Oh honey…I'm so sorry." He said, shaking his head.

"Not your fault. She doesn't think about these things…"
"You bet she doesn't. I don't think that she thinks at all…"
I slapped his arm lightly. "Be nice."
"I wish we could leave now." I said, laying my head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arms around me.
"Me too baby." He said, kissing the top of my head. "Well…let's get out there and face the music." He said and I nodded.

"Yeah…better now than later." I said, grabbing his hand and walking into the living room.

Surprisingly, the rest of the shower went well. After what seemed like an eternity, it was 3:30. Landon and I dashed out of there and just spent the afternoon with each other. That night, I don't think I was more excited for my head to hit the pillow. I sighed, hoping that these next few months would fly by so I could finally hold my baby in my arms.
