Shower Pictures

As promised here are some pictures from the shower. I have lots more, my sister took a picture of every present I opened I think. If you would like to see more let me know and I can get you copies. Here are the highlights:

Jessica did a very nice job planning the shower. The decorations were terrific! Thank you to everyone who helped set up and decorate the day of the shower.


I was surprised by the number of gifts we received. Thank you to everyone who sent/brought gifts. We have lots of wonderful things ready for our little girl now. Thanks again!

The favor boxes were filled with pink m&m's, nuts and Hershey kisses with "It's a Girl" written on their flags.

Jenni picked out the cutest cake! I love the little baby on top.

I tried to find pictures that show off the belly. This one shows off the cake, but doesn't really show the belly very well.

This picture shows a little more. I feel a lot bigger than I look in the pictures!

Thanks again to everyone who came, helped out, or sent gifts. It was a great afternoon and I enjoyed getting to visit with those who came.

37 weeks

I know it has been a while since our last post. I have been waiting until I can get some pictures uploaded, but that seems to never happen. So they will have to come later.

We have reached 37 weeks, and are getting closer to the day we get to meet our little girl. I am still feeling good. I am tired, and feel like I have a 20 lb basketball attatched to my midsection, but I really have no complaints. I am sure as our March 15th due date gets even closer, I will start to get impatient, but so far so good.

We had the baby shower this last weekend (pictures to come I promise!) and had a lovely time. There weren't very many people there, but I could sure feel the love for this little one already. Jessica did an awesome job planning the shower, and I am thankful for Cynthia and Jenni for helping put everything together. Thank you to everyone who came/sent presents to the shower. It was a great time and helped us feel more prepared for our little one.

We now have the baby's room pretty much ready. The walls are painted, crib set-up and clothes washed and put away. There aren't many things on the wall yet, but that will come. I really like her room and will have pictures soon I hope to put online.

Well, our bags are packed for the hospital, and we are patiently waiting for the day our little one decides to arrive. We still have a few weeks to go, but the end is in sight. :) I promise to have pictures up soon.
