Baby Shower was Amazing

Big, HUGE thanks go out to Brooke, Holly & Katie for throwing me the most beautiful baby shower ever.  Seriously, these women should turn their services into a company because everything, down to the very last detail, was perfect.

Thank you to everyone who came as well.  Travis & I are really blessed to have such wonderful friends and family.  It was so great seeing everyone, especially since Travis & I are about to become home bound in less than 3 months. 

Baby Girl is pretty set now!  Lol.  It's so funny how many things you need before the baby gets here.  Diapers, bottles, bedding, bath, bibs, swings, etc.  We FINALLY have all of our baby furniture (except an end table) ordered and on it's way.  Now the fun part!  Putting the room together.  I will keep everyone posted as the nursery progresses.

We saw the baby actually move for the first time this past week.  Mom is in town for the shower so Travis, her and I were all downstairs watching TV when the baby started her nightly aerobics routine.  I kept thinking with as hard as she's kicking, we'll be able to see a foot soon enough.  And just then, my stomach bounced.  I whispered to Travis, "Look, look!".  Like she's going to stop because she can feel us looking or something.  And then she did it again, and again and again.  I looked like I was popping pop corn from inside. 

Her newest trick is the pushing movement.  I think she's running out of room to get the full drop kick in so she's pushing her feet and hands across my stomach.  I'm also extremely impressed every time she has hiccups.  I can see each little bounce.  It only lasts for a minute or two but they are timed too closely together to NOT be hiccups.  I know Travis is just as excited about her as I am but I think his patience is wearing thin for the, "LOOK!  LOOK!  She's moving again!".  I could literally sit there and watch it all day and never get tired of it.  Of course, I think if Travis had an open faced sandwich inside HIM putting up as much as a fight as Little Girl is, he would be equally as enthralled. 

Mom got to go with me to my midwife's appointment.  I was really lucky because this appointment just happened to be my glucose test so it was nice to have my mom there in case I needed to wait around.  I cannot tell you how much I really love our Midwives Group.  Every single one of them take care of me like I am their own daughter or sister.  We had our typical appointment where they listen to the heartbeat.  Mom, of course, starts crying so this makes Kathleen start crying and then I'm crying.  Mom even got to see a sonogram of Baby Girl, which was a big treat and so special for both of us. 

Only 3 more months to go!  Time has just flown by.  As always, thank you everyone for following our blog.
