Some pictures from the baby shower!

I am so lucky to have such wonderful ladies in my life! I was thrown the most fabulous baby shower this passed Saturday afternoon with a "Duckie" theme, and it was a blast! We played some traditional games and some not-so-traditional, like smelling the melted chocolate bar in the diaper! The baby isn't even here yet and he/she made out like a bandit! Once again, we are soooo lucky to have such wonderful people supporting us! Thank you to everyone who was able to attend and a special thank you to those of you who put the whole thing together! We love you all! Please enjoy the pictures...

The stork is getting closer to the home!

It is amazing to me how close the stork on our time counter is getting to the house! We only have about nine weeks left and it is unreal! Every time we have a class or doctor's appointment we get more and more excited! Ryan was taking diligent notes at our last class about my nutrition. I am thrilled about my baby shower and can't wait to see everyone! I am going to try to post pictures every two weeks from now on, since I will be growing at such a rapid pace, now. I am supposed to gain a pound a week from here on out - so pass the ice cream! I felt the baby doing acrobatics last night while I was trying to fall asleep - trying is the key word in this sentence... Ryan paid me such a compliment recently - he told me that I was doing really well in the pregnancy and that he was proud of me and that made me feel so good. He is going to be such a good dad! We are still hoping that this will be a natural birth and I am just going to try to stick to it - we will see... I hope this message finds everyone well and just a poll - who thinks it's a boy and who thinks it's a girl??? Let me know...talk to you soon!
