Nursery!!

I have had so much fun decorating the baby room. We decided on red and brown for our colors and I think it turned out just fabulous!

Bookshelves with some gifts from Aunt Alli!

The picture that Garry painted on the wall. He is so talented! Who knew he is such an artist!

The crib, cradle changing table and dresser!

The beautiful custom bedding my mom made! I LOVE it!

The awesome diaper cake my sister made with organic, chlorine free diapers!

I just want to sleep in here, I love it!

30 weeks!

Baby Mize is 16 inches long and about 3 pounds now! He is really moving and shaking too! I wake up each morning and go to bed each night with him doing the hokey pokey! I feel great! My doctors appointments are every two weeks now so I am feeling really ready to have this sweet baby! Glucose and Iron testing last month went fine. His heartbeat is slowing down but as strong as it should be and he is quickly running out of room in my tummy. By the end of this pregnancy, he won't have a whole lot of room to spare! I am feeling so grateful that I feel so happy and healthy and am just so ready to meet him!

Baby Shower Bliss!!

My sister threw me a baby shower this last weekend and it was a blast! She did such a wonderful job and I had a really great time. I am so grateful that my mom and sister were able to come from Colorado! All these fun baby gifts make me so much more anxious for Max to get here!


My sweet mom!

Opening the Tiffany spoon my sister got for Max!

The party favors which were a huge hit!

Beautiful flower arrangements everywhere!

The chocolate fountain! Yum!!!!

Didn't Bailey look so pretty in her party dress?!?

Jen and Marta...so happy to see them!

The belly brigade! My bestie Allison just starting to rock her bump!

Baby Things I Love Love Love!

I am 26 weeks pregnant this week and feeling soooooo excited about our little muffin just a bakin' away! I am so ready to meet this little guy, I can barely even stand it! In a pathetic effort to keep my mind occupied from the fact that we still have 3 months to go, I am listing all the things I love about babies and this pregnancy!!

little baby moves...the baby kicking is like constant reassurance that our little guy is healthy and happy!

decorating the nursery...frankly, i just love decorating.

garry being super protective...it's just so sweet.

sharing fun pregnancy stories with friends...i really take joy in laughing my hiny off at all the pregnancy shenanigans i partake in.

being pregnant at the same time as some of the best girlfriends in the world...jen, alli, casie; true blessings!

talking about names...maxwell, hudson, oliver, lennox, gavin, kingston...the list goes on an on!

sonograms...8 wks, 13 wks, 20 wks, all unbelievable! this baby's heatbeat is truly one of the most precious sounds i have ever heard.
