Baby shower #1

















I am so blessed! I just wanted to start off by saying that. I have such a great group of beautiful friends and I am so lucky to know each and every one of them. They are all so generous and kind! Baby and I were so very spoiled!


I really have to say a big THANK YOU to the hostess Paula!


Paula, Thank you for making my baby shower so special and fun! You are such a great friend, and when I say you are the hostess with the mostess I really mean it. You are so creative and you always seem to get it just right! Thank you for all your hard work and time in putting together such a wonderful day.


Let me also say thank you to all the other wonderful women who took time out of their busy lives to come and be part of the day. Fae, Kirsten, Jolie, Gina, Ashley, and my mom (Barbara), it was so great to be able to spend the afternoon with you guys and thank you for all the great gifts.


I had a great time and I hope that you all did too! Here are a few pictures of the wonderful day!


I also wanted to tell Megan, Susie and Camille how much they were missed! I love you guys and can't wait for you to meet my little one!

I love and miss you!


2 Years

I still have a hard time believing that two years have come and gone. Two years since I have heard your laugh. Two years since I have seen your smile. Two long years since I have been able to put my arms around you and tell you that I love you.



Would you be any taller? Would you still have such a skinny little butt, or would you have bulked up? Would you have grown a beard anytime in these last two years? I wonder if you would be going to college or just hanging out, working some job, enjoying being out of school?



So many things cross my mind when I think about you. I remember you as a little boy. So tan and cute, wearing mom's high heels and a diaper. I think of how you were my first baby and how you loved you strawberry baba's! I remember how you would always bring your blanket and bunny with you wherever you went. I remember your fixation with Pokemon and drawing. I think of your love of skiing and being out on the slopes. I think of how handsome you were, and how you were really starting to come into your own. I wonder if you would be in some great band rocking out on the weekends. I can imagine the family coming to see you play somewhere and laughing and cheering you on!



Oh, how I miss you! My heart aches with missing you! I wish that we could all go back in time. Back to a time when our family was all here together! There are so many things that you are missing out on. So many things that I wish you were here to share in. I know in my heart that you are always with us! I know that you know how much we love you! I know that you know how much we miss you! I know that you and Dustin are hanging out together, shredding the slopes and having a good time! I just wish you were both doing it down here with us!



I love and miss you soooo much!

34 WEEK PICTURES




If I haven't already said this I hate cell phone photos! I especially hate my cell phone photos! Maybe I need a new phone? No, what I really need is to just take some decent pictures with my regular camera and post from home. But as you can all probably tell I do all my posting from work. Anyway, here is a little update.

We are now entering week 34. Yahoo! Almost done! The nursery is coming along great, and we have plenty of clothes for this kid to wear. As long as we have those, diapers and my boobs we should be good to go!

I am really starting to look forward to maternity leave! Yahooooooo! I can't wait to meet this new little one. For all of you that are wondering, we still don't have a name picked out yet. Suggestions are always welcome. Hopefully we will figure it out before we come home from the hospital!

As you can probably see from the crappy photos, yes, I did get a really bad haircut. I don't care though, I just needed to get rid of some of it. I also finally got around to dying my hair again after 7 months. It may not look any better but it sure makes me feel better.

Hopefully I will get some pictures of the nursery up on the blog next week. Until then, Happy stalking to all!
