Well, folks tomorrow is the big day! We are being induced in the morning and are so excited for Grant’s arrival. God has been so good to us and I am quite thankful for my beautiful wife and son! Here is a look back at some of the pictures from our pregnancy.

Also, I decided to include an excerpt from my ‘letter to Grant’ that talks about his sweet mama.

“There is no coincidence in your arrival. Your mom and I have been praying for this day for some time now. At 16 years of age, I met the woman of my dreams and I could not be prouder to have her as my wife. Simply put, she is incredible. Her love is like no other and I know you two will always have a special bond. She is beautiful, smart, driven, and has such a compassionate heart. I can’t wait to see how similar the two of you are. When you become old enough to date, I hope you are able to find someone as special as she is.”

We will be blogging again soon! Expect many pictures of baby G! Cheers. [M]

Hey y’all! Matthew and I wanted to share several fun pictures from our gender reveal party yesterday. Our dear friends Chad and Loren were the gracious hosts and they did a wonderful job with everything! We’re trying to convince Loren to be a party planner full time … she’s just that good, people! We actually had our gender ultrasound Wednesday afternoon … so Saturday seemed like forever away! We asked the tech to enclose a couple pictures showing either girl or boy parts in an envelope. We had supper with Chad, Loren, and Landry that night and gave them the envelope. The next day, they had Bob the baker at Publix take a quick peek at the ultrasound pictures so he knew whether the inside of the cake would be pink for a girl or blue for a boy!

Saturday morning finally rolled around and we were absolutely ready! Chad and Loren came over around 10 am and started decorating … Matthew and I were completely blown away! Every detail was perfect. Several of our family members that we invited arrived at 11:30 am and we cut the cake shortly after! The inside had a thin, baby blue icing line in the middle. We’re having a precious boy! Matthew and I are thrilled that we were able to share that awesome moment with our family!

We cannot express enough how excited we are! Matthew and I feel so blessed and cannot wait to meet our little man in January!

Loren hand made the pink and blue paper flower balls and the super cute ‘Baby Hammett’ banner! She also special ordered the balloons. She had two of our ultrasound pictures (that were not gender specific) in cute frames … of course, pink for a girl and blue for a boy! What did I say about the details?! PERFECT!The tally. And yup … Lo made the chalkboard frame!

Team Pink for Julianne GraceTeam Blue for Grant Kermit! Team Pink was definitely outnumbered …

Team Blue wins

A special thanks to Chad, Loren, and Landry … the party was a huge success! Thank you for all the time and creativity you guys put into our special day. We just love you guys!

Matthew and I wanted to share our exciting news … we’re pregnant! Our sweet baby is due January 2, 2012 and we are beyond thrilled. Many thanks to our wonderful family and friends for all the love, prayers, and immense support. Our hearts are full and we both feel absolutely blessed. God has shown us so much grace and He has definitely taught us to be patient. Matthew and I are truly grateful. We are overjoyed and elated. We are completely and utterly in love with our precious miracle.

Matthew, Happy (early) Father’s Day. You’re going to be the best … just like your Daddy. I know he is so proud of you. Me and Baby love you forever and always.
