My First Baby Shower!

UTAH BABY SHOWER

We traveled to Utah for my first Baby Shower that my Mom, Sisters and Aunt Janean planned for me. It was the most beautiful shower I have ever seen- they really went all out and made it really nice . I was so touched by the effort that went into the planning, setting up and the yummy food. Words cannot express how grateful I feel to have such a wonderful family!

I had such a good time seeing friends and family, some of which I haven't seen in years. I just wish I would have had more time to visit with everyone. Its kind of overwhelming to try to adequately catch up with everyone.

It was very humbling to me to see the support and love that we have from our friends and family. I could not believe the amounts of lovely gifts we received. Including several homemade items that took people time and money to prepare for me. It all really meant a lot to both Brock and I.

I couldn't have dreamed of a more lovely, fun and tasty Baby Shower. This is all still very unreal to me at times, kinda like a dream come true. Thank you  everyone who planned (for months) and everyone who traveled to be there (several had to drive 2 plus hours) to help us get ready for our baby girl.

I didn't have a ride to my own party so my Brother Marlon had to come pick me up. It was the most involvement he's ever had with a Baby Shower. I invited my Dad to come but he wasn't interested;)

The weekend brought many load of prizes, fun and a pair of swollen feet. My mom came home with us and we've been having fun going through all our the baby stuff.

Pregnancy Update

Things are still going good...mostly. I can totally feel the 3rd Trimester changes coming on. The back aches, heartburn and fatigue have intensified. I have also added swollen feet & ankles to the mix along with random loud hiccups.

I'm actually sleeping pretty good and not having to get up as much as I would expect. Having my wrist split has been a life saver!

The baby is still active but her movements aren't as distinct. I'm pretty sure she's still breech because her movements have stayed in the same spot in my belly.

Also...I am ALWAYS HOT! This summer is going to kill me:) Sometimes it makes me want to shave my head because my hair is so THICK and hot.

I saw the Doc for my 29 Week check up and the baby sounds great. I on the other hand am retaining water like a mad woman and my blood pressure was a touch up-which has never happened to me. I'm also measuring a little big. I had to do my NASTY glucose test-that stuff tastes like children's Triaminic cough syrup. They checked my blood and everything looks fine and dandy so apparently I'm just retaining water and having a big baby. Oh, how fun!
