2nd Baby Shower

TJ, Oreo, and I spent last weekend with our family out in Omaha.  TJ's sister (Erica) so graciously hosted a baby shower last Saturday for family members.  TJ's mom, two aunts, one cousin and her son, and then our niece and of course my sister-in law were there for the event (Erica's husband and son were there, too).  It was so nice to see everyone, especially since we hadn't seen half of the women since Christmas.  Erica planned a great shower.  She had her house decorated to match our nursery--lots of pinks and greens and butterflies.  It was super cute.  She had Qdoba catered for lunch (I had never had it before, but I really liked it!!) and then cupcakes made for dessert.  She also planned three games. We even got the guys to participate. :-)  We got some really nice items including some clothes, feeding supplies, diaper supplies, a portable sleeper, and toys/books.  We greatly appreciate everything we received and are so thankful everyone took the time to spend a few hours helping us celebrate the special occasion. 

Pictures from the shower:

Jace picked out a special toy for Baby--he thought she needed a football.  I told him it was perfect--she will love it! :-)  It will be very easy for her to grip.

 

Picture taken today: 33 weeks, 3 days--I am starting to feel big!!!

I had yet another visit to the doctor this week.  I was asked to come in during week 33 since they doctor wasn't happy with my sugar levels.  Unfortunately, there were still concerns when I went in on Monday, but I asked for a few extra days to monitor my numbers...and they have been much better!  So, fingers crossed that I receive good news when I check-in tomorrow with the office.  Everything looked good on Monday, though.  My belly was measuring right on 33 weeks.  Baby's heart rate was 158.  She is still measuring right on target for the due date.  She weighed 4lbs 13 oz, which is more than I weighed when I was born--CRAZY!!  TJ got to go with me to this appointment and we were both very excited to see her again!!  Unfortunately, we only have video of the movement so I am not able to upload any still ultrasound pics.  

 

TJ is working on wall art for Baby's room.  It's starting to look very nice!!!  It will be four canvases total.  It's a tree with a few flowers, butterflies, a sun, and birds.  More pictures to come once the canvases are complete.  They will be perfect.  We also got word today that our baby furniture has all arrived to the store. Hopefully it will be delivered within the next couple of weeks and we will get those pictures uploaded, too. 

Oreo's hair is starting to grow back!!  Yay!  He is doing well.  Over the last few weeks he has lost several teeth as well as discovered his voice.  He LOVES to bark at noises and people walking by.  Hopefully we can break this bad habit, but we have to admit--it is kinda cute! He has done very well with potty training, too.  He's only had a few accidents, and none of them are too recent.  He didn't have any accidents when we were in Omaha, either, or when we were traveling in the car.  TJ and I are very impressed because the last two evenings, Oreo actually went and sat in front of the door to indicate that he needed to go outside.  We just need to get a bell so we can hear him.  

That's all for now.  We may have another post next week after our appointment.
