Jimmy and I just entered our baby in his first contest... and WON! One of the local radio and news stations, 107.5 kzl and Fox 8 sponsored a charity event called "Give a Kid a Coat". They were holding a "Pregnant Pumpkin Belly Contest", where they would give the winner a $500 savings bond for their unborn baby.
Jimmy and I got up really early on Friday morning to paint my belly like a jack-o-lantern. Jimmy designed the t-shirt that I'm wearing and the pumpkin. Believe it or not, it took us 2 hours to paint my big belly.
We were the first ones to arrive at the contest site, when they told us if no one else shows up, we automatically win. We were keeping our fingers crossed, but 6 other ladies showed up.
The host of the radio morning show lined us all up and did a quick interview. They didn't interview me as long as some of the other contestants so we were thinking I wasn't going to win.
Jack Murphy (the host of the radio show) asked the Fox 8 Meteorologist who she thinks should win, and she picked me!
Jimmy and I were so excited! Jimmy says, "we are breeding a winner in the womb". We hope you enjoy the pictures.

Less than 4 months to go...


With less than 4 months to go, Jimmy and I wanted to find a way that our friends and whole family (no matter where you are) could share the rest of our pregnancy and mainly the birth of our baby with us, so we are creating a blog.

Once our little baby boy arrives, we hope to share special moments and cute pictures with all of you, so please check in with us often.

Thank you for being a part of our journey! We love you!

P.S. This picture was of me, Jimmy, and Baby Freland at his first UT Football Game. We're pretty sure he was singing Rocky Top in the womb.
