First Baby Shower

Our friends Shannon and Andy (with their new little one Hadley) came to visit us and together with our friend Michelle give our little fella shower. We had about 20 people drive all the way up to our house to celebrate. It was so great! The ladies ate homemade 7 layer dip, caprese salad and cheese cake while the boys went to see the Mariners vs. Red Sox down town (yes I was DD that night too). This is me opening my room full of presents half. We had such a great time and this little man is officially spoiled!!

Wedding, weddings, weddings!!!

It is the wedding season again and it has been even more difficult than usual to find the "right" outfit! My friend Michelle helped out with this one...I am about 33 weeks here...!

I was definately the DD this night!

Our First Live Sounders Game

On April 25th we got to pretend that we had season tickets to the Sounders!! Our friends Pete and Emily just got hitched and they needed to give their tickets to somebody...we of course offered!! Our other friends Alex and Codie (who also have season tickets)geared us up for the event. We were equipped with sweatshirts and the infamous sounders scarf!! We had the best time and can't wait for our next opportunity. Thanks Pete and Emily!!

31 weeks

Thought I would just post an updated picture of our growing boy! We are just continuing to gear up for the big event and getting more and more excited. I have about two months left. As you can see though I am just a little uncertain how it can be possible for me to get bigger!

Hmmm, glucose sugar water!!

The little fella and I had our glucose screening to make sure I don't have gestational diabetes and all went well! Everything is perfect and he has finally turned so that he is not longer breach which was a risk due to my heart-shaped uterus. We have moved to doctor visits every two weeks and I am told time goes by super quickly from here on out! Excited, overwelmed and puffy are the words racing through my mind!!

Sounders FC

Shout out to the Sounders (0-1)...its OK guys! Just don't eff up again!!

Prep time!

Turns out we are having a baby in about 11 weeks so we thought it might be a good time to start the baby's room.

Our friend Olga gave us a great deal on all of her baby furniture and Nick has taken on the task of refinishing everything. Ryan came over today to help him out but according to the boys it is going to be a long project...hence the necessary beer.

The process is pretty smelly so the boys moved the project to the garage by the end of the day.
Here are the two paint colors side by side...again all kudos to Nick!

My contributions to the preparations are generally noted through my research and purchasing abilities. To relieve some "after exam stress" I stopped off at the local Babies R Us and purchased some bedding, decorations and a new outfit for the little guy.

It was certainly weird picking things out for us rather than off a registry, but I think I got the hang of it fairly quickly.
