Mommy's Day & Showers of Love

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mommy's & Mommy's-to-Be!

Today I celebrated my first Mommy's Day! Although I insisted I'm not a mom yet, Kevin said I more than qualify. Yesterday we went back to where our relationship first started (the pier) and took some more maternity photos with our amateur photographer. We returned home for lunch, then Kevin took me out for a day of shopping and then to dinner (I was craving Chinese--yummy!). We capped off the night with a chick-flick I really wanted to see. It was a lovely day/evening!

This morning I was served banana pancakes in bed and treated to a day of help with housework--vacuuming, cleaning the dishes, loading/unloading the dishwasher and he even helped with the laundry (poor guy really wanted to do this entire chore for me, but he has really bad luck with it, so he helped fold it). He also installed little man's car seat base in the car and taught me how to do it and finished painting shelves for the nursery! For dinner he made me lasagna from scratch--yummy! Unfortunately, recruiting work called so Mommy's Day was cut a bit short (but I didn't mind--I had a lovely weekend).

Speaking of lovely, last weekend Baby F was SHOWERED with LOVE! My sister hosted a beautiful baby shower for us. It was wonderful--I had a great time! Many friends/family attended and those that were unable still sent their love, support and wishes our way. I left Hanford that weekend feeling so blessed and loved. We are so grateful to the amazing family/friends we have! Here are some photos of all the fun:

Thank you to everyone who attended--it was a blast. Thank you to everyone for the gifts--ALL of it was much appreciated and will really help us out. Thank you to all of our friends who sent their love/gifts/support from all over the place! We are so very blessed and so very grateful. Thanks is truly not enough.

Well, this mommy is tired so we'll close with a few photos taken over the past few weeks. Enjoy!

25 Weeks & Doctor's Appt.

We hit the 25 week mark today! Hard to believe! Time is flying so fast... We had our doctor's appointment today (Kevin is out of town Thursday, so we moved it up). I weighed in at a whopping 109.8! My nurse and my doctor's response was they are so so proud of me (I felt so special! Who would have thought GAINING weight would be so exciting?!). Kevin's response "WHOA!" And my response to his "WATCH IT Buddy!" Ha! So that's almost 14lbs of weight gain! I really am quite proud of myself... never thought I could do it (although, I spend most of my time eating these days, so it makes sense). The nurse said I "look cute, am starting to show and have that pregnancy waddle." Considering I did not feel like I was waddling (sometimes I have to because my tailbone hurts so bad) I was not exactly thrilled about this comment, lol! I asked Kevin if there is something he is forgetting to tell me... ha! The doctor measured my...

One Decision Down... 18+ Years Worth Left to Go!

So, in the scheme of things this probably should have been one of the easiest decisions to make, but Kevin and I just could not agree on a crib bedding set (or theme for that matter) for our little man's nursery. We finally got it down to two and left those on the computer to stare at for a few days. Well, Kevin finally compromised (okay--he gave in) and my set won! So, our son now has a bedding set and a safari themed bedroom! (on order). Next decision (prone to more disagreements, I'm sure) is finding our little man a name! If you ask Kevin, his name is Aisen, but I have yet to agree on that (more on the great name debate later!). For now, here is the set we're ordering our son tonight! What do you think?!

Oh Baby, Oh Baby We Conceived...

We conceived our little miracle this time last year ( your estimated conception date was between Tuesday, September 29, 2009 and Tuesday, October 6, 2009--source babymed ). I have always thought my due date was off by 2 days, but either way we conceived around this time last year! My how things change in a year... what an incredibly blessed year it has been! I remember taking the pregnancy test a few weeks before Halloween. Crazy to believe this Halloween I'll be dressing up my 4 month old sweet lil' pumpkin! The very excited parents-to-be Halloween 2009. Halloween 2010: Our family of 4, is now 5 (hoping to get our updated Halloween photo this year!). Thank you Liam for completing me Here's to another beautiful year with our precious Liam David. We LOVED knowing you were growing inside of me, but we're even more excited to watch, love, and support you through what we hope will be a beautiful life! What an amazing journey...
