Special Day Today....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETSY!!! That is the first thing I wanted to say!! Betsy is 15 today….which means she will be driving WAY too soon!!! AHHH!!! We love you Betsy and Happy Birthday!!

I feel like I say this every time…but man, time flies…Geez, only 7 weeks to go!!! The last couple weeks have been great! I had my 32 week appointment last Wednesday and all is well. I am measuring at 33 weeks (which is OK) and the heartbeat was at 148! So, all is well there!!! Only 7 weeks to go....did I already say that?

I had my 1st baby shower on Saturday and it was AMAZING! Everyone who came was so generous and I am very thankful to have each of them in my life! It was really fun to play the baby games…I was not very good at them!! Oh well, I guess I will learn :)
I got about 20 packs of diapers and 2 diaper cakes. My sisters made one cake with about 500 diapers and my friends Lisa and Amanda made another one…YAY! Diapers galore!! Here are a few pics from the shower...

ALL the PRESENTS


Jacki and I- DOUBLE the BELLY!


HOLY BELLY


The Nursery….well, it is coming along….the actual nursery is pretty much complete (with out the carpet) but in order to get the carpet, the hallway and stairway have to be done! So, that is the big project this week. Pat has been working very hard after work to accomplish anything he can. I am so thankful for that! Downfall, I actually have to make dinner. Oh well, I do OK especially when it is grilled cheese and tomato soup!! YUM-O





That is all for now….Pat’s parents are coming again this weekend to help Pat upstairs – which is so nice! I have another appt next Wednesday (St. Patrick’s Day) Hope the update is good.

PS. I think I am starting to waddle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The shower was tons of fun - It was such a blessing to spend time with those people that care about you! I enjoyed the visit with so many people. 7 weeks - hard to believe the time is so near. I am not sure I will be able to pull myself away from the little one once he/she is here. Excited to be ? - what should this baby call me????????? Love to both you and Patrick. Mom
