VA Shower

Brad and I were surprised when we showed up to Vi and Laura's house for Tim's birthday party, only to find out it was a shower for Baby Bower! We had a great time guessing different baby foods, figuring out what was in the diapers, and playing a baby/pregnancy game where Brad and I had to see if our answers matched. There was also a girls vs. guys relay where everyone had to drink from a bottle and dress a flour and balloon baby. The girls won. Once again Baby Bower has been spoiled! Thanks so much it was a blast!

35 weeks

Yikes, 35 weeks! 

Last week my co-workers had a surprise shower for me at work. I was totally taken by surprise. It was very nice and I got some great things for Baby Bower. I'll add a couple photos below.

Over the weekend, Brad and I had our birthing class at the hospital. We received a lot of useful information. The best part of the class for me was the tour of the labor and delivery, and postpartum floors. Now that all of our classes are over we're as ready as we will be for the big day!

Baby Shower!

I have wonderful friends and family! Thank you to everyone for the amazing gifts for Baby Bower, I was overwhelmed by the generosity and cannot thank everyone enough. Baby Bower now has many great books for her library, adorable clothes to wear, toys to play with,  a well stocked nursery, and a stroller to be pushed around in. It was great to see everyone, I cannot wait for you all to meet Baby Bower. 

A special thank you to Heather Hatfield, my Mom, and my sister, Lien for planning a memorable shower and making some great food. Another a special thank you to the Harris' for opening up their home for the shower.

Nursery and beyond!

Less than 8 weeks to go!
Our nursery is slowly coming together. We have our crib and glider, but we are still searching for the perfect changing table.
For Christmas we received some really wonderful and adorable things for the baby. I can't wait to see her wearing some of the clothes!
Here are some pictures from the nursery:

Past 30 weeks!

It's hard to believe we're more than 30 weeks already! Less than 10 weeks until our due date. The realization that our little girl will be here gets stronger everyday. 

Our friends the Burgers just had their baby boy, Ethan Price Burger on Sunday night. Brad and I went to visit them and meet their little boy tonight. Holding Ethan made us even more excited for our little girl.

Happy Holidays!

Nursery Furniture Hunting

Today is 27 weeks! Brad and I did some nursery furniture hunting for Baby Bower this weekend. We saw many things we didn't like, now we just have to find things that we like in our price range. Since we already have the crib, we were looking for a changing table and a glider. Maybe we'll have more luck next weekend.
Here are a couple pictures we took today.

24 weeks

Only about 16 weeks to go! Baby Bower has been busy growing and kicking. At our appointment this week we have a glucose test to check for gestational diabetes. 

We've started to get ready for the baby by registering and taking hand-me downs from family and friends. We set up the crib from The O'Neill's today, and we've been organizing some of the clothes and other things. Thank you to everyone who has so graciously loaned and given us things for the baby!

Friday was Halloween, Brad and I dressed up as Juno MacGuff and Paulie Bleeker.
