Baby shower!

Oh My! We got so many useful and adorable things at the shower yesterday. Let me 1st say that my hostesses were awesome! Hill, Nat, Meg, Hol, and Rachel--THANKS for all you did! I feel so blessed to have you girls in my life!
So...our front room is FULL of baby stuff and I have NO idea WHERE I will put it all. I have to say, I am most excited about the carseat, for some silly reason! I am also pretty pumped about the snap-n-go stroller! What a great invention! I am pretty sure I will need to return a few duplicate gifts, and use my gift cards for a few necessities, but overall, I am so glad my guests stuck to the registry--it's so much easier, when people get you what you know you need, rather than just buying random things because they are cute...let's face it, all baby stuff is cute, but that doesnt mean I NEED it! haha!
Anyway, 8 mos, pregnant today, and just got back from the OBGYN...things are all looking "perfect" according to my doctor! I am getting more excited (and uncomfortable) by the second! I cannot wait to meet this baby!

excited!

I am so excited about the baby shower today! We have over 40 people RSVP'd; which might be the biggest baby shower I have ever attended. What a blessing, to be so loved, and for so many people to be so anxiously awaiting our new little family member! I will update again, after the shower, and let you know how it all goes! These are pics of the nursery...

Last Trimester...

Yup! I made it to the last trimester! I am pretty excited! I have about 12 weeks to go! I am astounded at how HARD it is for Brad and I to decide on a name for our baby. It's REALLY DIFFICULT to name a child! I cannot sleep lately, worrying about what our baby's name will be--I know that sounds ridiculous--but I have this overwhelming urge to have things all "settled." I guess it's part of that nesting instinct everyone talks about. Brad and my little brother, Drew, have been working on our back patio the past few weekends and I must say it looks awesome! I will be so grateful for that wonderful outdoor space when it comes time to throw backyard birthday parties! I have about 35 days left of school...no, I am not anxious or anything...(:
