Busy Weekend

This was a BUSY weekend! One of my best girlfirends Terra and her husband from Iowa were in town for their baby shower (she is 30wks!) and I was able to go and see the ever expanding belly! She looks GREAT! Watching her open all her wonderful presents, made me realize yet again, how much stuff we need that we dont have yet....well, we have 115 days to get it done! :)

Today, we went into full fledge, get the house clean and decorated mode so that Terra and Dave could come see the house. It was good to spend some time with them in a more relaxed setting and be able to pig out on junk food (Mmm, mozzarella sticks!) They gave us a really cool hand decorated night light w/his name on it and our 1st CYCLONE baby items....Zach officially owns ISU Booties! Love them!

Today, I discovered the wonderfull-ness of Mint Oreo. OMG those little cookies are going to be dangerous! Zach must have liked them too because as soon as I finished them, he started kicking all over the place! Im going to take that as a hint that I need to continue eating them for Zach's sake!

Here are the latest photos taken @ 22 and 23wks!

Repeat Ultrasound

This past Thursday, we had our repeat ultrasound to see some of the things we werent able to see at the last one. Zach was much more cooperative (...well, kinda) and we were hopefully able to get all the things we needed.

Good news is he is no longer in the breech position. We were able to see his nice steady heart and heartbeat (141 beats/minute) and follow his entire spine. He is starting to look much more "baby-like" vs. skeletal. We arent really sure if we got a good enough shot of his umbillical cord since the lil' monkey had his toes in his mouth almost the entire time. Hopefully, the doctor will call tomorrow with the offical word....part of hope we didnt get a good shot so that I can have another ultrasound! ;)

Here are the newest ultrasound pictures...

Thanksgiving and Our 1st Baby Shower!!

We went down to Missouri to spend the holiday with my family. Ended up @ my Aunts for Turkey Day. It was a good time and everyone left way too stuffed and vowing to never eat again.

The following Saturday, my Mom hosted our 1st baby shower! It was great to see my entire family all together. We decorated cupcakes (they were delicious!) and had sloppy joes and other goodies! Mom found the cutest favors....they were white chocolate babies with a little tag to everyone from Zach.

Zach (and Mom and Dad) got some great stuff, including out stroller/travel system, diaper bag, and lots of other much needed stuff!! Makes me realize how much MORE stuff we need to get before he make the big arrival!
