First of all, yea for our first gift! Let's keep them coming. Also, if you need Julie's address in order to mail her something directly, just message me or her. Let's keep those gifts coming!
It's an Amazon gift card from Mary and Chad Montgomery! So sweet.
Look at how cute Baby Jude is looking! And of course Julie is beautiful as always. I wanted to update you on Baby Jude. At the most recent appointment this week, the doctor determined that there's an excessive amount of amniotic fluid in the womb. That could mean multiple things, so they'll be going for additional ultrasounds weekly from here on out. The doctors are taking a good proactive approach,and I've often heard of this correcting itself, but please join us in prayer for Baby Jude's health and safety as well as Jake and Julie's peace and trust in our Maker.
Father God, we know your plan is perfect and that you're loving and kind. You know how much this baby is wanted and loved already - not to mention how much he's already been prayed over. We come to you now and ask that you hold him carefully in your loving hand and keep him safe and healthy. We pray that he continues safely in his momma's belly until the time you've appointed for him to arrive. We know he is fearfully and wonderfully made, and we can't wait to meet him. Please be with Jake and Julie and their hearts as they get ready to welcome Jude into the world. Please give them your peace and keep worry far from their hearts. You know the plans to you have for Jude. Plans not to harm him but to give him a hope and a future. We stand on that promise here, Father. In Jesus' holy name, Amen.
Keep those prayers coming, and we'll keep you posted!
Has everyone been thinking about what you want to bless little Jude with? There's a sale at Target right now for all things baby, so take advantage! I'm hoping some of us will buy off registry in order to make sure he has everything he needs, so click on over and check out the registry if you haven't already.
Also, we're going to do our first poll! Whoever wins will get a Starbucks gift card, so guess carefully!
When do you think Tiny will be born?
Welcome to Julie's virtual baby shower for Tiny Turner - also known as Jude Chapman Turner!!
I don't think I could possibly be more excited that Jude is on the way. Sweet little man is due on December 24th, but I think we can all join Julie in hoping he makes an early appearance!
So, what's a virtual shower, you ask? It's a way to honor our sweet friend and and that precious little guy without us all driving to Tennessee (but how fun would that be?!). So, here's how it will work:
1. Please sign up to follow this blog. That way, you'll get emails when we make new posts. You can subscribe on the right sidebar.
2. We'll keep the shower "open" from now until Thanksgiving. That gives you plenty of time to find the best way to honor both Julie and Jude. Her registry link is also on the right. Julie will send me photos of the gifts as she gets them, and that way we can ooh and aah over them as if we were in the room.
3. A baby shower isn't complete without doing something special for the baby. I still have and cherish the things my friends did for my little ones. For Jude, there have already been many kind thoughts and prayers. Please email me with a scripture or a kind thought (and don't forget your name!). So that I can surprise Julie, I'll let you see what we did with them once she sends in the photo, but it will be GREAT! Trust me! Please have those in to me by November 8th.

We will also do a few fun little games and polls along the way, so stay tuned there! I especially can't wait to guess how many pieces of toilet paper will go around Julie's belly. Except....we'll never know, because we're not playing that game. But stay tuned for the others! Thanks for joining, and please feel free to send me any fun suggestions you have. Welcome to the shower!
