Baby Boy Shower

This post is a little old but I wanted to share some pictures from my baby shower which was back in March!!!  My dear friends Julie Joseph and Katie Mills hosted the shower along with Katie's mom.  As you know from my last post my mom, two sisters, and grandmother were all suppose to be there.  But do all the unfortunate events that happened to occur in the tiny span of one week only Jenny Lynn made it.  At least I had her there!  It was a fun time with so many people from different walks of life.  I am so blessed to have lived in such a great place with so many friends.  Saying goodbye is going to be sad and very hard.  But I'm thankful for the time I had with each and every one of them.  This little guy in the tummy has not had much attention on my blog lately.  I think I might have a lot going on right now.  Packing up my house, keeping up with an energetic 2.5 year old while being 38 weeks pregnant, trying to keep up with the cleaning and laundry and cooking, being home for all the repairs and replacements, cheering my husband on that he's almost done and we see light at the end of the tunnel!:) Yep it's been crazy but a fun ride with all of you!

 I told the girls that I wanted something simple like a cookie bar so that is what they did!  Sugar cookies with every topping you could imagine. It turned out so cute!

The food was so yummy.  They did chicken wings, dip, chips, vegetables, cheese and crackers, and a few appetizers.  This pregnant mommy was quite delighted and full!

 Thank you Katie for throwing the shower!!

 We got a pictures of almost everyone that was there.  A few people had left by the time I realized I wanted a group photo!

And my dear friend Julie, thank you!!

 

Maternity Photo Shoot

Oh my where have I been?  Well lets just say it's been a crazy two months with lots and lots of things going on.  Some not so good, but for the most part exciting and fun things.  February was a month of visits from family, with lots of sickness and stress, and Tim was on the worse rotation yet, but we managed to get through it all.  And March was a month of busy work again, house on the market and sold in 14 days, and cold rainy weather.  But things are looking up and we have so much going on and so much to look forward to.  Our wonderful family photographer, Casey Rose, http://www.caseyrosephotography.com/, needed a pregnant model and so she asked me if I would be willing to do it. At first I wasn't really excited because one, I gain a lot of weight when I'm pregnant, and two I didn't do it with the first two pregnancies so I thought it would be weird.  But this time around I have worked out consistently, watched what I ate, and lo and behold I have not gained much weight, interesting how that works!!:) So I said yes, and I am so glad I did.  I couldn't be happier with how this pictures turned out and couldn't feel any better and energetic than I do with this pregnancy.  So here are some pictures we took the end of February.

So here are few of my favorites.  She took quit and few but I will spare you all of them.  She wanted to go with a white or cream lacy dress with a very natural look. I wasn't super excited about white or lace but knew that she had something in mind and it always look good so I went with it.  And I am so glad I trusted her instinct.  I think they turned out amazing and love each one!

It was really weird posing for this picture, but so fun seeing it now!

And was little afraid of the big fluffy hat, but once again, it turned out pretty good!

 And then this picture I think makes me belly look really small.  It's interesting how different outfits and really change the look!

Well thats a few of them.  I can't believe we will be meeting this sweet thing in 5 weeks!  Pretty darn excited:)
