Baby Shower!



My family and Greg's family had a baby shower for us in July. It was so great to see everyone! Here are just a few photos to highlight the event. I still need to get my mom's photos because she took more than I did. As the guest of honor, I was mostly required to open presents!

Maria had her baby about one week after this, so good thing we got a picture of both of us pregnant at the same time. I wondered if that would happen! Glad it did.

The awesome shower planners did a great job. The menu consisted of yummy fruit kabobs, chicken/rice salad on a croissant, nut cups, and delicious slushy punch. The decorations were so cute! It's hard to see in the picture, but my mom and sisters did sugar cookie cut-outs of sports shapes and then put "T" on some of them for Thomas. Sarah also made a really cute diaper cake. Stacie did the invites. And Sharon and Chan helped with all of the planning and logistics.

It was such a fun day! I got so many cute things for the baby. Lots of homemade blankets, which is cool because each time I see one, I remember who made it for us. Lots of baby essentials, some cute outfits, books, and all kinds of things that a baby and momma need! Our friends Elder and Sister Richards that we knew as missionaries on the Rez even came up all the way from American Fork! How awesome was that! It was such a great surprise.

What did Greg do during the party you ask? See the picture in the top collage on the bottom right? Well, he went shooting with my dad, brother and the bro-in-laws. He loved it.

    Your shower was so much fun! It was so good to see everyone and get to visit a little. And yeah, I'm glad we got that picture before I went into labor too. :)

    Yay! So much fun. I couldn't believe seeing your pregnancy counter saying just 11 weeks and 5 days to go. So soon! I am getting more excited for you each day. We pray for you every night! Love you!

    Lisa-
    I am so thrilled for you!!! Congrats girlie! You are going to be greatest mom! My oldest is 10 and she started 5th grade this past week. I REMEMBER 5th grade. Quite vividly actually. Remember how we were both in love with Spencer? How about your boy/girl party and we went to country boy dairy in your moms most awesome VW bus!! See-I can't have a daughter who is old enough to be making memories that she will remember when she is 30! Although, I hope that she is making great friends, who are a strength and an example in her life. Just like her mom did!!
    Next time you are up-let me know. I would love to get together and go to lunch!
    Good luck friend!!
    ps-you glow!

Almost To the Home Stretch

Here I am at around 30 weeks or so. I can't remember exactly when Greg took these pictures. It's hard to believe that I only have six weeks and five days to go before this little buddy will make his entrance into the world. I'm excited and nervous. I'm doing really great still. I think, after talking to Sarah today, that I'm probably having some Braxton-Hicks contractions but didn't really realize it. I'll have to start paying closer attention. Gotta love Zantac! It's been helping with the heartburn. I pretty much waddle around a little these days. It's hard not to. I'm still sleeping well at night for the most part. I laugh at myself trying to turn over though! It's like a beached whale! Really. I have to like literally try to flip myself over without everything going, "Snap! Crackle! Pop!" The same thing happens when I've been sitting at my desk and get up to walk around. It's like all my joints want to just...

Can you see that baby bump?

Image
Man! Full body shots are not at all my fave. I have to do a better pose next time where Greg's not looking up at me while laying on the couch. That's always been like my least favorite camera angle. But can you see that little belly showing? This is 17 and a half weeks. My waist is disappearing and it for sure seems like my already well-endowed bust line has expanded! I'm just trying to take it all in stride even though it's sort-of weird that your body isn't your own anymore in some ways. But I think it's totally awesome that my body is designed for this. Go women! Every day I really feel like it's a miracle that I'm even having a baby. That's such a cool blessing that I wondered if I'd have, and now it's happening, and it's really surreal at times, but totally awesome, too. Other than the fact that I've had a horrible sore throat (due to allergies) I feel great. (Well, still headaches here and there.) I'm not sure if ...

Half Way There

Wow! I can't believe it's been 20 weeks already. That's halfway, right? I have had a terrific pregnancy so far. I have some of the common "aches and pains" but have done really well. It's awesome. I will have to post another picture again soon, because this bump is getting harder and harder to hide. Sometimes I feel a little self-conscious about it in a way, but I think I need to embrace it more and not try to hold it in! (Not that I do or can anyway!) The best thing lately is feeling the baby move more and more and knowing that's what I'm feeling. I totally notice movement after eating, and also sometimes when I play the organ. I think it's just louder so the baby can hear it and reacts a little. It will be fun to see if that continues and let's all pray they get Greg's awesome singing voice! We went to a movie last night, and the baby was really moving during that. Probably because it's so loud in the theater. A week or so...
