Baby Shower

My Mom threw me the best baby shower on Jan. 30th. It was seriously amazing! She did a beautiful job. Of course my MIL (that's mother in law in message board speak) and SIL made cute cupcakes and favors and our friend Sara arranged great floral pieces. I feel blessed that so many people came and that we got so much we needed for the baby.

But I have to say that seeing my two best friends was the best part. It's not like I never get to see them but the fact that they both came from hundreds and thousands of miles away just to be with me at my shower was, well...lets just say I couldn't ask for two better friends. And we've known each other forever...and they've always, always been there...Here's proof

This image takes on a whole new meaning when you're about to become a new mother and father. Merry Christmas to all!

In-the-Spirit-of-Thanksgiving

It's a week past the official government sanctioned Thanksgiving but we are celebrating it tomorrow with my Brother.
I am thankful that my brother is still alive and still cancer free and will see his new niece very soon!
I am thankful that I know God.
I am thankful for His Son's infinite atonement.
I am thankful that my little growing family is sealed by His power.
I am thankful for the beach.
Amen.

Baby Bump Alert

Half-way Point

Today marks the twentieth week of my pregnancy. I can hardly believe it.
Picture of my big belly to follow shortly.

She's a...

wait did I ruin the surprise?

Yep, She's a she folks. We are having a little girl.

Who will be a big girl before we know it, a teenage girl in fact. Oh lord, help me, a teenage girl. Ok Nic, breath...

In, out, in, out, she's not even born yet.

Here's one of the latest pics of our little bundle.

She was a wiggler and loved waving her hands at Mom and Dad. That's her hand up by her mouth. Her father is very proud of the fact that she was uncooperative for the poor technician.

This was a very surreal moment for me, seeing a human form rolling and waving and kicking around. And it made me realize that she'll be here before I know it.
