Resting

I realized that I needed to get a picture of this all too common occurrence last weekend. You can't really tell but I'm totally curled up with my body pillow. Fonzie comes up and get in bed with me and lays half on the body pillow and half on pregnant belly. Eventually, he gets too heavy on my stomach since baby has gotten so big and we have to readjust. I just think it's so cute that he snuggles with both of us even though he probably doesn't totally realize that he's snuggling with baby.

Holy smokes!

I've had more requests for belly shots so here you go. We managed to get my other boys to pose too so I'm actually happy with the picture. When I looked at the size of my stomach, I realized just how much I am in denial about how huge I really am. My tummy really doesn't look this big when I look down at it every day. It's the side angle that does it justice!

Our newest edition....

Betsy had her calf on Thursday! We went down to Rainier today because Betsy needed a pedicure, she had severely cracked hooves. I just wanted to see the baby, she's so cute! I was forced to assist by sitting on the Gator and watching. Betsy finally had a girl - we named the new baby Junebug.

King of the Jungle......

My best friend Troy threw an amazing shower for me and baby last weekend. I love the banner, it's actually still hanging up on the wall. I love lions so this theme was perfect. There's actually still a lion balloon hanging on the end of the banister.
Baby got lots of great goodies - jungle and dog theme were prevalent in the gifts.

Baby is more than ready for bath time - he got plenty of bath toys and body wash.

The cake was the best I've ever had, Troy got it from Remo Borrachini's bakery in Seattle. It was so good that I know where I'll be getting my birthday cake from now on. There was a ton leftover and we ate it all!

I meant to take a group shot when everyone was there but things were too hectic when the party was in full swing. I got the majority of my main folks in it though so I have to take the victories where I can get them.

I finally got everything washed but still need to get it put away. We did some shopping over this weekend with our gift cards to get our remaining needed items. We're not quite done, but we're almost there!

Happy hours....

My shower with my local friends was last weekend. My friend Val (the blonde bundled in the coat on the left) came up from Phoenix for the weekend for the occasion. We headed up to Maggiano's for what could be the last time for me for awhile for happy hour with the group. Maggiano's is my absolute favorite restaurant, their food is amazing and I am absolutely addicted to their chocolate martinis (which I cannot have right now!) In any event, quite a few people showed up for the gathering and we had a great time even though our waiter was the worst ever.

Maybe a little spoiled....

We had our family shower in Rainier yesterday. Baby got lots of great stuff, it's going to take me awhile to sort everything out. The room is a mess!

Showering baby with love

Following my sorority exec meeting this past week, all of the ladies held a joint shower for the baby and for Jen who is getting married. We celebrated with yummy Pagliacci's pizza and cupcakes from Wink. Baby got lots of wonderful goodies. He'll only be naked if he wants to be for sure!
