Baby Shower

Well we had the baby shower this weekend. It was fun and Zach got a haul of stuff that will give him very good start when he joins us! I will be working on my thank you cards here shortly. Thank you so much to everyone!!! :)

--Here are some pictures. Now...seeing that I am the editor of these pictures I have chosen the ones in which I MOSTLY don't look horrible.

We'll have to break it down I think. So we'll start with pictures of the guests.

Me, my Mom and my neice Lili.

Me and my Nana...in from Austin!

Me and Aunt Janet...in from Houston!

Me and my friends Lindsey and John.

Me and my sister Angel.

Me and the baby shower planner extroirdianaire/BFF Shannon!!

Once everyone arrived we ate some snacks, had some punch and found some seats. Gaming ensued.

We played the purse game...where you have to try and find stuff in your purse. Unfortunately my friend Lindsey rode in on a motorcycle and only had a wallet and a helmet.

Next we played baby bingo followed by the Name That-Disgusting-Baby-Food game! I advised everyone I would surely lose that game. And I did. When you confuse pears for macaroni you know it's going to be a rough motherhood. :)

My Mom also got a lovely cake.

Funnies

From my babycenter email:

If only you'd known you were going to trade...
• Monthly PMS for nine months of weeping
• Lacy thongs for cotton tents
• Sex for gas
• Zinfandel for Ovaltine
• Birth control for laxatives
• Going to the gym for getting up to pee
• Your waist for a hot-air balloon
• Kickboxing for kick counts
• Your innie for an outie — a way-outie
• Sleeping for groaning
• Freedom for the most intense love you've ever known

Update

It's been a while since I've posted...I am finally off of overtime at work...I was working 5-7 days a week for 8-12 hours for about six weeks. Raked in some dough...and time went fast...oh...wait...still 78 days to go!!!

We spent Memorial Day weekend with my family in Kerrville. Here are some pictures.



My cousin Olivia.

Great Grandma Linda got Zachary a nice stroller/car seat set that daddy-to-be Chris learned the ropes on.



We got our beautiful dresser for Zachary home safe and sound. Great Grandma Becky has made sure that Zachary has a nice place to store all of his things. :)



We also made a video for Chris' Grandpa's 80th birthday...here is what didn't make it:



Also...as some of you may know...and some may not...we got orders to Alaska. Not too many details other than it is Elmendorf AFB and it will be sometime in November!



So...pregnancy update
-All tests that you can take have come back negative
-My blood pressure is always perfect
-No cravings to report
-My metabolism is out of control. I eat a bagel and fruit in the morning at 7ish. I am STARVING by 9. No...not hungry...not...I could eat a bite...I am talking blurry vision, headache, tummy talkin' STARVING. I was worried about gestational diabetes, but that test came back good. The doctor told me I would get to the point where I would feel like I was eating all day...so I got some healthier things in order to do that...I am still starving, but at least the protein bar is healthy. :( I AM SO HUNGRY!
-Zach likes to play the drums. It's inspiring. I don't really get the particular songs he is attempting...but I know he is beating on all of my internals with great rhythm! It's crazy how much oomph he has in his movements. If I am reading with my hand resting on my tummy and he kicks (or whatever) the magazine jumps...I lose focus...and I am like...did Zach just do that??!
