Shower for Baby Jack

This post is well overdue!!! We misplaced our cord to our camera and just now found it.

A few weeks ago some of my sweet friends gave Baby Jack and I a beautiful shower. There were lots of yummy treats (my friend Jenn made awesome cookies) and lot of friends and family to talk with. Baby Jack got a lot of much needed items. It was a little weird seeing blues, browns and greens because I have been seeing pinks and purples for four years. He got some adorable outfits, blankets, towels and much needed diapers! I had a wonderful time being with friends and family. We are so blessed to have friends and family that love us. I really didn't get a lot of pictures. I was so busy talking that I didn't even get a picture with my mom, aunt or sister in laws. Oh well! Thanks to my wonderful friend Courtney, I do have a few photos to share.

My good friend Jenn (who is extremely talented and needs to start her own business) made this for Jack's room. Isn't it beautiful? Thanks Jenn!

I am now 33 weeks; only 7 more weeks to go and yes I am counting them down! Everything is still going really well. The "nesting" phase is here and by the time I get home I am whipped. I'm trying to get all of my ducks in a row before I leave work. We are slowly but surely starting to work on Jack's room. We have a ways to go but I know it will get finished (thank you Jarod). A few weeks ago I started having braxton hicks contractions. I never had those with Allie so they came as quite the surprise. They happen mostly at night before bedtime and they really do take my breath away at times. At my appt. two weeks ago my doctor said that he is head down (has been for a while) and thinks he weighed close to 4lbs! I think Jack will be a lot bigger than Allie.

Allie is ready to be a BIG SISTER! She told me this week that she is tired of waiting for Jack to get here. I'm getting to that point too. She is going to be a wonderful big sister. She already loves him so much and she hasn't even met him yet.
