Baby Shower #2

Chris' mom and sister also gave me a shower while I was in Missouri. It was a great shower and I feel so blessed to have such great family!

This was a cute 'plant' made out of bibs, wash rags and little outfits! It was so cute and creative!

Somehow this makes it all seem so much more real!!

Baby Shower #1

I had a great time being home with family! Allison, my sister, gave me my first baby shower on Saturday. It was a great shower, and this little boy is already spoiled!
I meant to copy my sister's memory card since she took the most pictures, but totally forgot before I left. But I did manage to snap a few photos on my camera.

My beautiful sister and handsome nephew!


The cute diaper cake!

Opening some of my many gifts!

30 Weeks

Holy cow!! 30 weeks has gone by so fast!! That means there's only 10 more before our little man will be here! How is that possible? Here I am this morning at 30 weeks-note the new hair color. My friend Sarah did it last night so I'll look nice and put together for my visit home this week.Yep, I head to Missouri for the week. I'll have two showers while I'm there, so I'm very excited for all that! When I get back we'll start focusing on putting the nursery together!

A Few Updates

I haven't been so great at blogging regularly...sorry!! There's really not too much to report. I've mostly been hanging out at home wishing the winter would move on and give way to spring!! I'm so ready to be outdoors walking, working on my garden, and finally bust out the flip flops!! However, it's supposed to snow tonight and tomorrow so apparently I'm not wishing hard enough!

We did finally get all the nursery furniture in....Now I just need to work on the decor. My mom is working hard on all the bedding. She posted a few preview pics and I can't wait to get it!
I saw the midwife yesterday, and all is well :) All my blood tests looked good...I am anemic but that wasn't a surprise!

I leave in a week and a half for Missouri. I can't wait to see all my family and friends! I'll be having 2 showers while I'm there. Then one shower here in WV in May. I've done pretty good not buying too much stuff and waiting to see what all I get at the showers before I go crazy buying stuff!
Here's a belly pic from today....29 weeks. It's gone by so fast!! He'll be here before we know it!

A Few Baby Things

I'm officially in my 3rd trimester!! I really can't believe how fast it's going!! I'm sure the end will drag, but so far it's flown by!

I had my glucose test this week and passed with flying colors! I'm also officially going to the midwife twice a month instead of once a month!

I've done pretty good not buying every cute baby thing I see. I keep telling myself to wait until after my shower then see what all I want/need! However, there have been a few things I couldn't pass up! Take a look at this hat! Obviously, it's for next winter, but I can't wait to see him in it!


This weekend I went to a consignment sale at a church and found these hot kicks:

Seriously?? Does it get any cuter?!

Now we need to focus on the nursery designs for the walls and such. Then there's still the issue of naming this little guy!!

26 Weeks

It's been a little while since I posted anything...oops! There really hasn't been anything new and exciting going on here...I figured it was time for a new belly pic. I seriously woke up Saturday morning and my tshirt that was baggy the day before was no longer baggy! Crazy!! I feel great, and can't believe how fast it's all going! I only have 2 more weeks left in my 2nd trimester!! We go to the midwife on Friday again and I have the dreaded glucose test...I'm sure it won't be that bad! I'm also looking forward to going back to Missouri for my baby shower in April!! I can't wait to see everyone!
