What an amazing weekend!

From the day that I knew we were expecting, my mind immediately went fast forward to maternity photos, baby showers, nursery set up, etc. This dream started in August 2007 but did not manifest until this past Saturday.

Our families came together to host a baby shower for us & Ethan. The shower was nothing short of AMAZING! I am so thankful for the outpouring of love & support. I think my Mom was more excited about the shower than I was. She HAD to have linen & China, she is sooooo much a Queen! My sisters were also so excited!

There was a photographer there, so as soon as I get the pics, I will post them.

My cousin Jemine, has been a wonderful blessing to my life. She is a midwife in Delaware. She was adamant about traveling to make it to the shower. I picked her up from the airport on Friday night and we chatted & laughed until 2:30 Saturday morning.

Our day was busy but filled with lots of love & excitement.

The nursery is starting to shape up. The crib, dresser, glider & ottoman are up. The only thing left to assemble is the changing table. I’ll post pics of that soon also. I think I walked into the nursery numerous times yesterday just to open the dresser drawers to look at the baby clothes.  Aww, it was such a beautiful site!

My dear friend, Sam informed me that I have not posted any pics of myself this pregnancy. I have been taking the pictures but I just haven’t been posting them. So, there will be quite a few pics to post really SOON!

On another note, we’re 31 weeks! I feel great. Last night, Chris asked , “ Babe, are you hot” I said, “No, why?”. He said, “ it looks like you are sweating on your nose”. I had to remind him that “my nose is constantly filled with grease, get used to it”. :0)

I will start seeing my regular OB every 2 weeks now and my last visit with my FAVORITE OB will be next Friday.
