Baby Shower

We had our baby shower on Friday. I am glad my work allowed me to use their bar to have the party. Of course leave it to me to forget my camera so right now I am waiting for some pictures to get emailed to me that were taken from people who are not as forgetful as I am. I will get those posted as soon as I get them.

Justin and I had lots of fun and are very grateful for all of the wonderful gifts we received.

Quite frankly it was a bit overwhelming for both of us. I think reality set in that we are in fact going to have a baby. We got so many newborn clothes that I think we will have 1 outfit for each day for her first three months. Below are pictures of the closet...our little one has more outfits than her mom and dad!

Lots of Clothes.

This is the ducky that Marna and Anne bought for the shower...

Here is the recliner we were waiting on. Now we have to rearrange the furniture a bit to make it fit better.

Update...

Justin and I ventured up north to visit Bronson and Amy this last weekend. It was so much fun to see them and to hang out. I am so glad that I had the chance to go up there when we did. Saturday was absolutely beautiful. It was almost like spring!

If you check out Bronson and Amy's blog there is a picture of me with my new best friend.



Not much happening here. I went to my 34 week appointment and my Dr. told me everything is going smoothly and she said the next six weeks will fly by. I sure hope she is right! Baby Vinge is running out of space! It is getting pretty uncomfortable and wonder when the baby is going to stop doing flips in my belly.

48 Days to go!

We took some advise that was on my baby website to get all of the things we wanted to get done before the baby. Justin tackled our bathroom and gave it a much needed face lift. I must say he has a good eye. He called me at work last Friday and told me he picked out the paint color and new medicine cabinet. He did everything from paining the ceiling to replacing the light switches. He is my younger and better looking Bob Vila! Here
are some pictures.

I wonder what Justin will work on next?

As for me I am feeling as well as can be expected. I have the normal aches and pains. I just wish I had x-ray vision so I could see what the little one is doing in there. She is very active especially when I go to bed and wake up in the morning. I must admit I like having the company on the way into work. She loves it when KQRS plays the Beatles. I am posting a 33 week photo of my belly for thoes of you who want to see how much my belly has grown.

Justin and I just watched the video on Parker and Bella’s site. Justin said he misses his little buddy Parker and will blow up if he does not see him soon.

Pictures of Baby Vinge's room

Here is it! We have finally got most of the babies room put together. The furniture is still subject to moving and we still have to decided on where to hang some pictures. I want to give thanks to my mom. She is the one that made the curtain, and it matches the bedding. She defiantly has a talent. Currently we are still waiting on a recliner we purchased for the room. It will be here the first week of March. Hope you all like it...

Found a foot!

The bambino started something new, she has started to stretch her legs out! As I drove home yesterday I felt a lot of presser in my upper belly. I did not think much of it until I got home. I was laying on the couch and felt the same crazy pressure, I looked down and it looked like I had stuck a golf ball in my shirt. It was so funny! I wish I had gotten a picture. I wished I could have played with it more too, but I started to rub the bump and it sank back down into my belly. It was cool to see though! I am totally amazed by this pregnancy thing. Some times it is miserable but it is more amazing than anything. I had to share that with you all.

I did notice last night I have a very limited time before the baby will reach my ribs. I have been warned by many. I believe the quote I get is "just wait until it starts kicking your ribs." I was laying in bed last night and it dawned on me that there is about an inch more until she will be able to reach them. I don't know what to think about that. I have learned this baby does not like things in its space. We will see how the next few weeks go.

Happy New Year

Well here we go! I figured that I will post the most recent belly picture for those of you who that are not here to see me grow. It may not be the best photo because I took it myself in the bathroom mirror.

We have the babies room all painted now and the crib and changing table are put together. Let me tell you the chaining table was a "relationship builder." I love those directions that give each piece a number but the pieces themselves are not numbered. It was great! The crib was easier to put together. As soon as we have the room complete we will post before and after pictures.

New years was uneventful. We made a wonderful dinner, put together the changing table (that was an event), popped in a movie, fell asleep, woke up just in time to see the ball drop and then went back to bed. I am sure next year we will be ringing in the new year a bit differently.

P.S. I am sorry to the people who had previously posted a comment on this blog. I had to fix a few things and in the process I had to delete the original post.
