Baby Boy's Shower!!

Seriously, I have some wonderful friends! They threw me a wonderful baby shower last weekend! With all their combined skills, it was absolutely perfect!

Check out this spread of food! It was all incredible. When everyone arrived, we started off by eating this glorious grub!

After we ate, we headed out for a craft! We LOVE to craft together, so this was a perfect addition to the shower. Everyone took a couple letters and decorated them. The theme of Jr's room is "ABC's". I am so stinkin' excited about this and getting it on the wall! I think the letters all turned out fabulous!
Then on to gifts. This baby is seriously so spoiled already (and he's still got another shower next weekend from my sisters!) We got so many wonderful boy things!

I'm so grateful to have these wonderful gals in my life. They are so much fun to be around all the time. We really have formed more of a sisterhood than friendship. Thank you guys for spoiling my little guy so much with these gifts, and spoiling me with the wonderful shower! Love you girls!!

Nursery c:

(I'm not sure what happened to the rest of her nursery pictures!)

Abby started nursery about a month ago. The first two weeks she went great! She loved it all (except singing time). And after those first two weeks she's hated going. It's been such a struggle to get her to go in there. Once she gets in and settles down, she does pretty good. Every time I peek in on her she's being healed by one of the leaders. Hopefully it will get better soon..

I can't believe how hard it is on me to see her go in there hysterical. I absolutely hate it. I know it's part of the growing process for her, but after seeing those sad tear filled eyes for a few weeks in a row, I'm temped to keep her with me. (no, I wont really do that..) I think part of that feeling is being pregnant again already. I hate to see my baby grow up so fast and soon she will have a little brother. I'm so worried she will feel left out and no longer my "baby". Hopefully it'll be a lot easier than I'm thinking it will be, but it's still hard to think about!

Whew.

Anyway.

My little girl is growing up so fast! She's amazing me every day with the words she's leaving and the different skills she's developing! And now she gets to go to nursery! It sure is nice being able to listen in Sunday school and YW's/RS! Thank you wonderful nursery leaders!!

Baby Jr.

(I wish this was my stretch mark free belly... )

I was just thinking today that I've blogged maybe twice about this little boy making his debut in 4 weeks!

Baby boy still doesn't have a name.. And wont till we see him. Nothing we have come up with sounds right, so I think we need to see that precious face of his before we can give him a name. It's so weird, because I've known since I was a teenager that I wanted Abby to be Abby (Abigail). It's been tough to not know the name of this baby! We'll have to wait till after he's born to make all those cute baby name things.

Every appointment has gone great. He's been developing just like normal. Jr is measuring a bit big so we'll be having him a week early (just like we did with Abby). So now D-day is October 26th as long as he stays on the track he's on developmentally wise.

This pregnancy has been a little rough on me. Abby's pregnancy was a breeze. I was sick the first trimester and felt wonderful the rest of the time. I've been sick 95% of this pregnancy it seems. But after about 25 weeks of it I accepted it and moved on. Once I accepted it, the pregnancy got so much easier. I stopped asking "When will the feeling good part come?!" (well for the most part.)

So now we've got the nursery mostly set up, just needs to be decorated. I've had one fabulous baby shower (that I'll post about.... maybe tomorrow) and my sisters are throwing me another one next weekend for this spoiled baby boy! I really am so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends! I'm loving all the blues, greens, and browns! It's so different to have 'boy' things around.

We are way excited about this little guy coming. Hopefully he'll surprise us at 37 weeks. We'd all love that!! :)

Abby in 15 years...

This commercial makes me cry every time. (pregnancy? who cares) I dread this day with Abby, but at this rate it's going to be like tomorrow.. :(
