Well, My baby showers have come and gone and they were wonderful! The lag in blog posts is due to my serious nesting problem. Well, I guess it's not too much of a problem since I now have everything ready for the baby in his room, all my craft junk organized, a super clean garage and some of the cleanest floors you could imagine! I've also been finishing up thank you cards, volunteering with Tommy's Squadron and have been trying my best to be social and make new friends.
Back home in Texas, I was amazed at how many of our family members and friends showed up to celebrate with us. We were truly blessed by their presence! My sister in law, Lisa and my sisters really spoiled me with the cowboy themed shower! We were truly blessed by our wonderful family as well and were able to fit everything into our 4runner, however, poor chesty had to sit in the front seat with me!
Here is a (very long) slide show with the pics from the shower!
Then, when we got back to Colorado, Amber threw me another shower for my friends here. The theme was "little prince" and was really adorable! What an amazing group of ladies I have come to know here in Colorado. I really believe God blessed us when we got orders back here.
Another great slide show...
And Today, at my 37 week appointment with my midwives, I found out baby Randy has indeed "dropped." There are no other signs pointing toward labor at this point, but we will see how long that takes! Anyone want to pick the date you think he will be here? I also got to hear my little man's heart beat (140 bpm) and we put in our deposit for the water birthing tub. I know most people will think I'm crazy for that, but I'm actually really excited. I can't wait to hold him in my arms, but I'm glad he is still cooking.
^I think it is awesome you are going to try the birthing tub.I hope you have most of what you need from the showers-if not let me know:)I can send ya something.
