Baby Shower

BABY BOO'S FIRST SHOWER

Sunday was a FUN day!! My first "Baby Shower" hosted by my cousin Heather and very good friend Kris Nelson. It was a great time but I wish the crummy snow and rain mix would have held off until the evening. Many of my guests traveled good distance to attend and they all were a little worried about the weather as the snow flakes got bigger and the temps dropped. But all in all... everyone made it home safe, no cars stuck in Heather's drive and LOTS of presents. Thank you everyone!!!!!

Presents Galore!!! We are blessed to have such wonderful friends and family to help prepare for Baby Boo's arrival.


The super Tall Giraffe that I always wanted... I meant... that Boo always wanted ;)
Thank you momma!!!!!

Get a good sniff Grandma!!!

Gross!! Lana showing me something very disgusting!!! I hope my kid doesn't poo BBQ sauce!!!

My cake: From Le Bakery. Heather took a sample of the nursery wall color to the bakery and had them match it. Talk about being precise!!! Thanks Heather for the extra work. I know GREEN was a hard color to use as a theme. It turned out awesome though.

The Bump ... growing .. growing.. growing...

As requested by many.... here are the BUMP photos of me. My sister in law insisted we take these photos during my pregnancy and I am glad she did :) Every two weeks, monday morning we would take my photo at work. It is fun to look back and see when the changes really began. I felt bloaty at week 12 but it's hard to see that in the photos. Obviously at week 22 I am popping out! I sure could feel a lot of changes during week 24 and it shows when you then see my photo a week later. Boo sure had a growth spurt that week.

And to think...there is still lots more growing to go.

"Bring it on Boo"

Love, your momma

7 weeks (above) .... my first full week knowing I was pregnant. A sad attempt at taking my own belly photo...... A "BEFORE" shot. hahahaha

January 25, 2010- 25 weeks and 1 day ** look at the difference from just one week above**

27 weeks and 1 day
Boo in my belly on Feb 8, 2010 ( He is approx 15 inches long stretched out & 2lbs. ) The emails say he is the size of a small bag of flour or a large egg plant.

New photo posted.... taken Feb 23rd. 29 weeks and 2days.

Bryan measured me ( with a tape measurer) yesterday (2/24) and I was 3ft 3in round. WOW!

But the good news is... Bryan is still rounder :) He was 3ft 5in. But let's see what we both measure in another two weeks. I have a feeling I will be surpassing him pretty quick. hahahaha Colleen thinks I will be 4ft plus some inches by the time of my shower (3/13) so we will just have to measure again then and find out...

Baby Boo in 3D

Well... here he is.... Little Baby Long

Sunday (before superbowl) we went to a new place in town called Stork Snapshots. They did a 45 minute sonogram and took 3d photos of the little guy. I had a blast! The little guy was quite content and insisted on keeping his arms up. He wasn't interested in moving much for us .. but that's ok... I enjoyed seeing him peaceful and healthy looking :)

his tongue is out ( see photo to the right)

above... he looks like he is praying :)
