Showers, Showers...

Here are some pics from the baby showers we had and from when my sis was home visiting. It is hard to believe that the next time we see each other we will both be Moms! We had some amazing showers and are SO thankful for all of our family and friends that worked so hard to make our days so special! We love you all!!!

The frame we gave my mom from her Grandbabies

Amazing table

Ella's Cake made by Mama Marilyn, amazing!

Jackson's cake

All of our hostesses

Mom gave us our childhood stuffed animals back!

We got a good laugh out of it!

She also had taken all of my Dads old shirts and made them into quilts for the babies so they can always have a part of him with them. Needless to say the whole room of 30 plus women were bawling

Especially us!

This is probably the best gift I've ever been given. I still haven't decided whether Ella is going to actually get the blanket or not, Ive been sleeping with it ever since ;) Such a beautiful gift, we have one AMAZING Mom!

While Linds was home we wanted to take some fun pictures together. Ella and Jackson each have their own pair of Chuck Taylors

"Bump to Bump"

Our adorable bracelets we got at our shower from my moms childhood friend Wendy. Love them!

And we had to end it with one of our "traditional" pictures. I'm not even sure why we started doing this or where it came from but every time we see each other we always take a picture doing this. I think when we are 50 I'm gonna make a book of all of these pictures! Love my sis!

PJ - the 3 month mark

I took Pj's 3 month pics earlier this month and his growth has just blown me away! He isn't my tiny, sweet, little baby anymore! His back almost comes up to my armpit, and he has shed most of his baby fur and is looking more mature and filled out every time I see him. He is still very friendly and sweet but is now figuring out he is a boy. He is pretty ornery and has been known to nibble and pull on your clothes etc. We are currently working on these issues...but I just cant get over how good looking he is becoming (I'm not bias at all.) I think he is going to be a pretty fancy looking guy when it's all said and done!

 How could my little tiny baby...

 be this big in 3 short months?!

 He is filling out nicely though

3 months

The Ella Update

I had my regular appointment with my OB yesterday and things are right on track for Ella and me. I don't have gestational diabetes and all my other tests have been good. They are still waiting to hear back on my Cystic Fibrosis test so I should be hearing about that in the next few days. My doctor said I am right on track to gain the recommended 25-35lbs which makes me really happy! I asked her what the plan was going to be since my due date is 3 days before Thanksgiving. Some docs will go ahead and induce if a holiday is coming up and some wont. Well I have a doctor who won't. She said since I'm a first time mom they are going to try and give me enough time to let me go into natural labor. She did go ahead and schedule me to be induced a week after my due date if she hasn't come by then. So at 5:30am on November 28th Ella is being evicted if she decides to be fashionably late. If I know my daughter she will wait to make a grand entrance on Thanksgiving, I just have a feeling, we will see! I have one last ultrasound September 12 with the specialist to check out her growth. I am SO excited, they always turn on the 3D/4D and I cant wait to see what she looks like this time around.

We had a busy weekend this past weekend. My sister was in town and we had all sorts of baby showers. I'll post pics from our fun weekend soon!
