Baby update

This week marks the 36th week of pregnancy. On one hand it seems like I have been pregnant forever but on the other I can't believe we are almost to the end. We went to the doctor yesterday for a check-up and ultrasound. Baby looks good and measures about 2 weeks ahead of where we are, but not gigantic yet. He is still up high so it looks like we have a little more wait time until his big arrival. During the ultrasound we were able to get one good picture of his face; which was hard because he likes to hide behind his arm. Just look at those chubby little cheeks!!

You can see by the big belly how he is measuring two weeks ahead of schedule! (end of 35 weeks)

The Infamous Belly Shots...

I have had MANY requests from friends and family to post some pictures of "the belly"... so here you go. For those who asked-you are welcome! For those who didn't ask...I'm sorry.

Baby Shower #2

We had our second baby shower last week. It was a co-ed shower hosted by Brent's mom, sister and aunt. We had a wonderful time with all our friends and family that got to come, especially those who made the trip from out of town. This shower also brought some fabulous gifts including our travel system and a pack-n-play!! (Thanks grandma mary and aunt lindsay!) Other great gifts included the Diaper Champ, lots of clothes, a humidifier, a tummy time mat, and they always useful giftcards. At the shower we also got some helpful parenting advice and enjoyed some yummy cake and homemade mints. Even though I was forced to play the string measuring game (where everyone has to guess how big your belly is with string and then test it!!) it was still a great time. I was very pleased that Brent measured a nice short string to help make me feel good about my ever expanding stomach. Kudos to Lauren who was only off by an inch!! However Ryan is still in big trouble for measuring WAY too long!! We had a great time and are so thankful for the shower and all thsoe who came.

All the WONDERFUL gifts that we recieved and all the guests that came!

A BIG thank you to all!!
