Diaper snob?

We have been blessed to only have to buy one pack of diapers since Owen has been born. Sadly our supply is running low and it's time to buy some. I was looking around at the store yesterday and realize there is quite a bit of difference in prices. Before I've always been a Pampers lover but they are the most expensive. What about you guys? What diapers do you use?

Baby Sign Language

One thing I knew before Owen was even born was that I wanted to do baby sign language with him. I first saw this in practice at our church. Babies were able to tell us when they wanted more cheerios or when they were all done. I thought it was amazing that they could communicate with us though they couldn't even talk yet. My neighbor at Southeastern also used sign language with her son and again I was awe struck.
For Christmas, I received this starter kit from the Baby Signs company. I haven't had time to watch the DVDs yet but I'm super excited to get started. I found out that the company also offers parent classes. Anyone interested in taking one with me? I talked to my local instructor and she would do a class at my house if I could find 4 other women. Anyone game? You can find out more information about the program and its benefits you can check out the website.

PS I've posted quite a bit lately..keep scrolling down.

1st Baby Shower

Today was our first baby shower. My good friends Monica and Heather hosted a very fun event with a lot of my Wake Forest friends (and Hannah). The food was yummy of course then we played baby pictionary. It's sad but the team full of moms lost! Owen received all kinds of cute stuff. Check out the slide show below. Again, thanks Monica and Heather and everyone who attended.

What's new with the Coxes?

Today was haircut day, which is always a fun day for me. I love getting haircut and getting a new style. While I didn't intend to get it cut this short, I'm satisfied with the results.


A couple of weeks back I showed you this bag and told you that we had ordered it to use as a diaper bag. We thought it would be a more gender neutral bag that both Jeremy and I could both carry. Well once it arrived, I wasn't as impressed with it. It's a great bag, but not what I wanted in a diaper bag. So I returned it to REI. Last week, I began to search for new bags after looking around the nursery at church. I did some investigations and found this brand I really liked but they were more than I wanted to spend. That's where Ebay came in. I got this bag for HALF of the price of the original and it still has the tags on it! It came in the mail today and I'm super happy!

In that same post, I told you about our stroller system being recalled so we picked out another one. Well last week we found out that the problem had been fixed and they are now back on the market! I'm excited because I liked our original stroller better. You can see it below. Some other new things...Jeremy has a job interview on Monday for a graphic design position back in my hometown. I'm excited for him but honestly not excited about it's location. I'm not thrilled about moving back to RM if he gets the job. I have enjoyed living in the Triangle since I left for college. I love all it has to offer, esp. our church and the stuf to do! If this is where the Lord is calling us, then I will go willingly. My desire is to serve and glorify Him.

Many of you have asked about his interview that he had a few weeks ago. It has been 2 weeks since the interview and he called to follow-up on Monday and they said they had one more week of interviewing and would possibly make a decision next week. Please continue to pray for this situation. Summer seems to flying by and the weeks until school and the baby come are coming closer. I'm scared that the time will come when I have to start a new grade level and pack up and move all while being pregnant. Please pray for us!

The wait is over...

and we couldn't be more excited!! After sitting Indian-style for the first part of the ultrasound, our little one finally opened his legs to reveal that he is a boy! Seeing how just about everyone we know is having a boy, we weren't really surprised but were still excited. Everything is going well and he looked great! He's measuring a little bigger than he should for his due date but we are still looking at 10/9/08 as his birthday.

Our families are excited as well and of course added their opinions about what we should name him. We have a few we are throwing around but nothing official. We'll let you know when we do.

(Lindsey, I know you made this for Kari but it was too cute not to borrow! I didn't steal her sign just your picture. :) )
