May 11, 2011 Week 32 :)

It was a lot of fun to have my parents here for Mothers day!!  We went to church, visited Howard at work and ate our just for fun.  (I cannot believe we forgot to take photo's of us all dressed up for church.)  Monday we painted the Babies room.  It was so nice to have 2 adults help me paint the babies room while Howard was at work! We were finished by 3 PM, paint dries fast here in Colorado! Mom and Dad stayed until Tuesday afternoon after my 32 week appt to check on the size of the baby.  I know they had fun watching the ultrasound as they had not seen one in AGES and I'm not sure if my mom had any when she was pregnant with us "kids".  My OB did a great job of looking around at the baby and showing mom and dad all the body parts that she could but NO we did not find out the babies sex then either.  :-)  Baby was only about 65% now and weighed 4 pounds 9 oz at 32 weeks!! Well on my way to having a 8# baby by my Due date.





May 7, 2011 Baby Shower!

Today I had my first Baby Shower!  It was a lot of fun and the food was wonderful!  Janell, Hope, Heather and Melody all did a GREAT job, putting it all together with the food and decorations and games.  I was lucky enough to have my parents here for a visit this weekend.   I had a lot of fun chatting and visiting with a lot of people who I have not seen since my wedding.   My parents helped me clean the house for the shower and get things ready.  Here are a few photos of the food, fun and fellowship from the shower, not to mention the wonderful gifts I recieved.

31 Weeks

I cannot believe how fast this pregnancy is going  I only have 9 weeks left!! Things are going very well.  Baby and I are growing well.  This baby is moving more and more and getting stronger, sometimes I'm actually able to see my stomach move as the baby moves inside me.  We are trying to decide what colors to paint the nursery, we know greens but not the exact colors as matching the monkey theme is proving to be a little harder than we wanted.  The monkeys are so very cute and I cannot wait to finish decorating the nursery.  With  Mom and Dad coming this weekend for a baby shower and to visit I hope to paint the nursery.  :-)

This coming week Howard and I are going to dinner w his mom on Tuesday after meeting w our Pediatrician. (Scary and Exciting to think about!) Then my parents are coming on Friday, a baby shower on Saturday.  It will, also, be nice to spend Mothers Day with my mother for the first time in years.  I'm very much looking forward to this coming week and weekend!!
