Shower #4 - the last one, phew!!

Yay the last one. I am tired of making and writing thank you notes! This one was at work with my co-worker. We had really yummy cake, which I ended up eating for days cause there was a lot left over. I received a travel swing, a fuzzy blanket, some receiving blankets and a piggy bib!

Michigan here we go!

The plan had been to drive to the upper peninsula of MI, but since Baby S decided to take over, we cut the trip shorter and only did the western side of MI. This road trip was with R&M.

We did a wine trail and stopped at about 4 wineries. Of course there were tastings at each one and many bottles of wine bought. :D




We spent the night in Grand Rapids and in the morning we went to the Frederick Meijer Gardens. Is this life imitating art? J thinks so...



After lunch, we drove up north to Manistee and the boys went fishing. This seems a bit calmer than their last fishing trip. R didn't have any faith in me and was wondering what I had gotten them into.


Looks like the boys had fun and will definitely do this again. No 4 am wake up time and no puking! Here's J and his rare brown trout.


R and J caught 4 salmon, here they are with their catches. R insists that he caught the biggest but failed to take a picture so I guess we'll have to take his word for it....



We spent the night in Manistee and the next day we drove along the western shore and stopped at a few places before heading home. Here we are on the beach in Ludington.




After playing in the sand we drove on to Muskegon and R, M and J toured the USS Silverside submarine. We also shopped a bit in Holland. A great end to a fun trip. Where will we go next year?

Finally a glider!

J has kept saying that he would get me a rocker or glider for awhile now, but being the squeaky person that he is, he's been giving me excuses forever, now its towards the end and I took care of things as usual...here's my $20 glider with ottoman. J can't complain about that.

Baby Shower #3

Yes #3. This one was held at my boss' house and had my department co-workers there and my mom. This shower was also for my co-worker who is due a few weeks before me. We had pizza and cheesecake, which Baby S luvs! She also got a pig pillow that I might have to keep for myself.

She's almost here!

I just looked at the countdown and it says 48 days!!!! I can't believe it. The first time I saw her, I was telling myself it would take forever for her to get here and now its almost time!!

Today we had an ultrasound to check the placement of the placenta, looks like we are a go for natural birth, no scheduled c-section required unless its necessary. Yay! Check her out, she's too big to fit in the picture, so its only a head shot.

It's been 6 years!

Today is our six year anniversary. We're like the old married couple and didn't do much. I didn't even get flowers! Instead we went out and spent money on a crib, stroller and a pack & play.

A very cute visitor!

This weekend we had a visitor, Bailey. What more can I say, he was well behaved and oh so cute!! Too bad the weather was horrible and we couldn't have more fun with him outside!

Baby Shower #2

Thanks to C for doing a great job hosting and Mom for all the yummy food and Mrs. K for the awesome brownies! I was thrilled to see everyone who came and put up with all the games. We played Baby Pin where each person was given 2 pins and if you hear someone say baby then you can take their pin. Whoever had the most at the end wins. Next game was How well do you know your Nursery Rhymes. We also had a questionnaire and quests had to guess how J would answer and how I would answer. If you want to see the questions, e-mail me. We also played Guess how big my belly is and Baby Bingo. To everyone who was there, thank you so much for the fantastic gifts and a great time. Baby S is excited to meet all of you.
