A little late...

But I figured I'd post some pictures from my showers. All three of them were wonderful and we got some pretty amazing gifts. We are very blessed to have generous family and friends. I have also posted some other random pictures for your viewing pleasure!

Here are a couple from the shower my mom threw for me...

Me, My Mom and Grandpa

The Hubby and I

Me and my BFFs

Here is one from the shower that his mom and sis threw for us...
Yes... We wore the same thing to both... Finding a dress is a PITA and I insist that my husband's attire complements my attire for events like this :)

And here is a picture of Tony at our baby class... He diapered our bear very well and so I have high hopes that he will do great when Charlie arrives!

And even though this is unrelated...

Here is a picture of Tony and I on our 3rd Anniversary in Canada (July 8th, 2009)!

Up and At Em...

First:
Today I am up way too early for this to be the first day of summer break... My day will consist of getting my bimonthly massage and then visiting my parents. Then I need to come home clean the bathroom, make dinner and organize the nursery so I can be ready for my work shower tomorrow.

Second:
I also am breaking into the 30's today. 30 weeks pregnant today! Woot! See below for the development progress.

Third:
Yesterday I had the first of three showers. It was huge and we got so many things that we really needed like the car seat, highchair, pack and play and bouncer plus a lot of little perks like books, rattles and stuffed animals. My mom hosted this shower an there were almost 65 people there, so the day was exhausting to say the least. It was such and awesome day and I will post pictures as soon as I get my hands on some! The best part of the shower is that Tony was there with me and that was really nice to have him share the attention with me plus he is just so pumped up to meet Charlie and I think this just multiplied it by 50 for him. In ten weeks we will have our baby and we both are having a hard time wrapping our head around this.

Finally:
Charlie is growing!
Here is what americanpregnancy.org says about the growth:

Your baby has now grown to be about 15.15 inches long and weighs about 3 pounds. Your baby’s eyes are becoming more mature, and now he/she can tell the difference between light and dark. Babies at 30 weeks can even follow a light source with his/her eyes. Once your baby is born, he/she will spend a great deal of time with their eyes closed. This is completely normal. Newborns only have the ability to focus on objects a few inches from their faces. While “normal” adult vision is 20/20, a newborn’s vision is 20/400.

By this week, your baby's senses are developed to the point where she can taste, touch, see, and hear what's going on around her. She'll also react to stimuli--for instance, if you poke your belly, she may kick or hit back at the spot you've touched. It's exciting to interact with your baby even before she's born. Try rubbing your belly and talking gently to her when she kicks--you may find that you're already able to calm her down.

A Big Day...

As promised, I have some pictures to share! This post will be the most random of all of my posts!

This is from our bed and breakfast vacation during spring break in April... Aside from shower pictures, this may be one of the only pregnant pictures I take...

This stuff is gross, but I am so relieved to not have gestational diabetes...

Superman Ice Cream... HERE I COME!

And THIS was my mother's day gift from Tony and the Little One!

I woke up to this sparkler on my nightstand and the card said the sweetest things ever!

My husband is so amazing!

And now some nursery shots...

Changing Table/ Dresser Combo

The Diaper Cake was made by my awesome classmates from CMU!

Rocking and Reading Area
I have a book shelf coming soon and we will be hanging the paper lanterns (seen in the closet) in this area!

The Convertible Crib

The Closet...

The wicker basket full of goodies is also from my CMU classmates.

The red bin is FULL of awesome stuff from my brothers, their wives and my nephews for mothers day! They are seriously the best ever! I am so blessed to have them as my family.

These are the books that I have been reading to our little one every night...

:)

Sick...

I am home today for a sick day... I hate being sick on sick days... I have this gunk that makes it hard to breath through my nose... Which makes it hard to breath through my mouth... Which makes me really tired and gives me a sore throat and a nasty little cough...

Anyway...

Sick + Me = An ornery, tired, non work attending, pregnant lady

I have now slept for 12 straight hour and can't sleep anymore right now, so I have be cruising the net...

I love this set from target for a girl... And this is super cute for a boy... But we'll probably end up with this gender neutral set because of my practical side...

Plus I want to be able to show off the nursery before our bundle arrives and since we are not telling what we are having, pick a gendered bedding set would be a dead give away...

Also, I have felt the first movements!
Woot!
17 weeks tomorrow!
