Happy New Year!

Wow! 2009 has been an unbelievable year for the Martindale family! We are so blessed.

We had a wonderful Christmas and took Ansley to her first Tennessee game on New Year's Eve (Chick-Fil-A Bowl). Despite the loss, we had a terrific time, and Ansley did great! She even fell asleep during the 2nd quarter. :)

We pray for a healthy, happy, and blessed 2010 for all of you. Thank you for your love and friendship through such a miraculous year for us.

Love,
Jill, Philip, Ansley, and Mocha Martindale

Baby Ansley has arrived!

Hello everyone!

We apologize for the delay in posting, but we have been a little busy! :) Ansley Grace Martindale arrived happy and healthy on September 10th weighing 5 lbs 15 oz and 16.5 inches. We are doing great! She is 3 weeks old now and is so precious. Thank you for all of your prayers and support. We are so blessed.

Two More Baby Showers!

Thanks to more great friends, we have had 2 more baby showers. We are all set for baby's arrival! Thanks, everyone! You guys are the best!

Baby Shower!!

We are blessed with the greatest family and friends! We had our first baby shower a couple of weeks ago and were "showered" with many gifts for Miss Ansley. Thanks, everyone! You guys did too much.

We are 35 weeks (almost 36 weeks) at this point and counting down the days until we meet our baby girl. We covet your prayers at this point as we finish the final preparations for her arrival.

For the past 5 weeks, we have attended a birthing class at Baptist Hospital once per week. We have learned what to expect while at the hospital and even toured the facility last week. We know we are in good hands at Baptist.

We will do our best to update in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for reading!

Baby Girl has a name!

Hello everyone!

30 weeks down...only 10 to go! The time has really flown by.

We celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary (Oct 16) in Hawaii a few weeks ago. While we were there, we decided on a name for our baby girl: Ansley Grace Martindale, and we will call her Ansley. She is named in memory of her grandmother Diane, her great-grandmother Mary Ann, and in honor of her aunt Beth Anne and great-aunt Virginia Anne. We chose Grace because we know that it is only by the grace of God that we are blessed with this little miracle. We had a wonderful time on our trip and were able to relax before our busy next few months!!

Thanks for reading, and we will be in touch soon.

Happy June!

Happy June, all!

We hope this post finds you all doing well. We are "rocking" right along these days. We are 25 weeks this week (6 months + 1 week) and can't believe how quickly time is flying by! Jill still feels great, and we have begun making preparations for baby girl's room. We hope to start painting next weekend. :) For those of you who are wondering, we are still working on her name. We have a couple of "finalists," but nothing firm quite yet. We'll let you know when we have decided. We posted a new picture that was taken tonight. As you can see, the belly is growing quickly!!

We hope you all have a wonderful week!!

Take care.

It's a ...
