Célébration de Bébé

So this girl has some pretty awesome friends. I received a surprise shower for baby sister today. It was a Paris, France themed shower. From your required dessert croissants down to the black toile decorations, it was all there. This event of events was supposed to occur two weeks ago but a certain freak winter storm in the great northwest caused a delay. The girls were able to reschedule today with what appears to have been only minor complications. It seemed to me that everyone there (as well as several ladies that couldn't make it) played a part in the planning process. Thank you to everyone involved!! I was feeling very ill prepared for this baby before today but from here on out if she were to come (no little girl, that isn't an invitation just yet) we would be able to cloth, feed and shelter her in some pretty swanky baby girls stuff. We've got guest made onesies until she is over a year old, the cutest knit hat I have ever seen, baby under armer, baby leggings galore, her first baby doll, and a baby monitor specially purchased for future baby sitters. We are so set!!

Thank you everyone Thank you!!

Here are some pics to show you just how awesome my ladies are!!



Croissants from a little French bakery in Silver Lake called L'Artisan French Bakery...pure bliss!!



There were labels (in French) for everything just like this. Perfection!


Cupcakes by Codie. They looked store bought, I can't believe I even thought it!!


Gonna put this up on her wall, for sure!


32 weeks along, 8 more to go...1.5 inches to go until my belly hits the steering wheel. I can't remember when this happened with Deven but it is sure is an interesting phenomenon.

Baby girl at 20 weeks

We have our next check up for baby girl this coming week but I thought I would get this half way mark documented seeing as how I am still lucky enough to be edema free and finally not feeling nauseous every 2 hours!! I did a little research and my baby belly is about the same as with Deven at this 20 week mark...somehow not comforting!! :). We are doing great and Deven gives hugs and kisses to sister all the time, it's adorable. I plan to remind him of this later when he realizes that sister can't be put back into my belly once she's here! Stay tuned for more updates from our check up...we are hoping for an estimate of just how big she will be.

Baby Girl

Everyone kept telling me it was a girl but I honestly had no gut feeling.  Well everyone was correct!  Nick and I are pretty surprised but excited to start the whole naming and planning part. 

We were confused today because Deven all of a sudden was saying he was going to have a brother where as he had been insisting he was going to have a sister for a couple of weeks.  I think we figured it out tonight though, we are pretty sure he was telling us that HE is a brother to the baby sister.  Moral of the story; even Deven knew!

Here is a sneak peak at our sassy little girl and one of Deven's reactions...ok we made him pose for this but you get the idea!!

Baby #2

Just thought I'd give this baby a little writing time.  We had our 17 week check up today and it went great.  The doc said we are both doing great.  Baby has a strong heart beat that we could hear right away.  I made Nick take a picture...baby is gettin' big!!

Just the one...

We were a little worried there were two in there but nope just the one!  Today we had our first appointment with the doc to confirm that our second baby is healthy and on his or her way.  We saw the heart beat and baby is measuring at 9 weeks and 3 days.  Official due date is set at 3/30/12.  As you can see baby is popping out there much faster this go around.  This is me last Friday, I'm even bigger this week!  Big brother Deven sort of gets it and seemed excited when we saw baby during the ultrasound.  It's gonna be a crazy ride, here we go!!
