37 weeks...................................................

At week 37, your pregnancy is considered full term, meaning baby is likely to thrive after birth. Baby spends these last weeks in preparation for the outside world… meaning careful refinement of the blink, suck, inhale and exhale. Meconium, which you’ll probably find in the first diaper, is accumulating in the intestines. If (okay, as) you worry about giving birth, consider what it’s like for the little one. During the journey out of your womb, baby will produce more stress hormones than any other time in life.

Baby Shower!

Baby Shower. April 10, 2010!






The chair I sat in and the beginning of the endless wonderful presents I recieved.


Tiffany did the clotheslines, I think she had way too much fun but they turned out so cute! I had bought a few outfits and Tashie, my sister in law gave me the cutest pink dress, but most of the clothes came from Faiths closet(my two year old little sister). Thank you mom! And the umbrellas and rain drops that were so adorable. I think they were my favorite decorations.



We had a onesie decorating table where the guests could go and decorate a onesie. I have so many cute onesies! It was so fun to see all the different and creative things everyone did.


Grandma gave me a bird cage. super cute decoration for the babys room... which is a work in progress but Im slowly getting there. Just wait!

The THANK YOU and candy buffet turned out super cute! Rue found the cutest suckers and there was so much candy. There was hardly anything left over too!

The party favors were pots Rue spray painted pink and white to match the party colors and then she planted pink flowers. My amazing mom wrote the poem and Tiffany hung up the paper laterns and tissue paper flowers. It was so cute this picture doesnt do it justice. The Poem: April showers bring May flowers. To thank you for coming we've planted a seed. In a little pot you dont have to weed. Please take one to day and enjoy watching your flower come up in May!





I have been collecting frames for the past 3 months from TJ MAXX for the babys room... I put baby pictures of AJ and I in them. Its so cute I dont want to take it down.

Faith was so fun and helped me open all my presents!



Rue and I made a motorcycle cake for AJ. It turned out super cute... AJ just laughed.





My two wonderful friends, Tiffany and Rue and my mother n law Terisa gave me a shower that was beyond spectacular. The food was amazing, the decorations were so cute and there were so many fun games and things they did. I am so blessed to live in such a giving community with so many wonderful people!

Honeydew, Pineapple, and 17 inch Computer Screen

Baby’s senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month.
