35.5 weeks

So here we are at 35.5 weeks. We cannot believe that time is flying so fast now. We are counting down the weeks and cannot believe that we are darn near a month away-if she comes on time. We are pretty much prepared, which probably means that she will be late! The excitement is becoming more and more real...that is until the sleepless nights occur :-)

Pregnancy Pictures

As a gift to Chris and me, my sister Jen-photographer extraordinaire- was able to capture some AMAZING pregnancy pictures for us. Her attention to detail is impeccable and she was able to capture the pure beauty of pregnancy. THANK YOU for sharing this time with us, Jen. We love you!

Practicing "Daddy"

Over the baby shower weekend we were so excited to have my college roommate, Cindy and her two boys visit and stay with us. Walker-almost 3 years and Bodie-7 months were so much fun and full of energy.



Chris was such a big help and took Walker and my nephew Tommy-almost 6 years old- to McDonalds and and then to play during the baby shower. The boys went bowling, mini golfing, played air hockey and many more arcade games. Chris got to practice "Daddy" over the weekend and is quite good if I do say so myself!

Coeur d'Alene Baby Shower

"An Evening of Indulgence" was the theme of the Coeur d'Alene baby shower. We had so much YUMMY food and treats homemade by my sisters, mom, niece Sarah and friend Cindy. A good time was had by all and our little girl is spoiled with all of the gifts that she received. We are so blessed to have such WONDERFUL family and friends share in our excitement of this new chapter in life.

33 weeks

So today marks 33 weeks. It is amazing how quickly time is flying now! We kept thinking that we needed to make it through the holidays and then we could get ready for little one to come. HOLY COW-look out, it is coming FAST!

I am still feeling well, she is still moving like crazy and we are in the single digits now :-)

Boise Trip

We had a very quick trip to Boise this weekend for a baby shower thrown by our college friends. It was so nice of Cynthia and Jeremy to host us and to have the shower at their house. Many old college friends made it for the big day, with a surprise from our friend Andi from the Sun Valley area.

It was nice to catch up, see old friends and see their kiddos too. How fun to see the changes in life right before your eyes. The babies are coming like crazy now as our friend Jen is two weeks behind us in her pregnancy-with another girl!

Chris had male bonding with the husbands with "bowling and beer" as the ladies chatted about "babies and no booze"! It was great to see everyone and we are so blessed to have friends that would do something so thoughtful for us.
