36 weeks...Can you believe it?

This week's appointment went very well! We had another sonogram and Hunter looks fantastic. With all the measurements they took they are estimating that he weighs about 6 lbs. 7 oz.!!! I was very excited to hear he is such a healthy boy! I also found out that I am already 2 cm dilated!!! I didn't know what to expect so I was a little surprised when the dr. told me. He is starting to drop which is exactly what should be happening. Everything is looking great as we head toward welcoming our little blessing!!! Now for what you're probably wanting more than just me talking...sonogram pictures! We didn't get any 3-D ones because he's too squished in there now for anything to really turn out, BUT we did get some cute ones! Here you go!!

Hunter has found his thumb! You can see his left hand coming up from the bottom and stuck in his mouth. His little nose is right above his hand.
The cutest little toes ever!!! There are 5...the pinkie toe is just squished up against the others. Can't wait to see these little feet that I've been feeling for so long!!!
We'll keep you updated on what's happening over the next few days or weeks!!!

34 weeks already!

Can you believe we are already 34 weeks along?!?!? It's hard for me to believe that it's almost time for Hunter to join us! I just can't wait to hold him and kiss his sweet face! During the sonogram this week the sonographer showed me how squished our little man is! With the regular view you can see how close his little nose to the side!

And with the 3-D or 4-D (whatever you call it) you can really see his nose squished flat on the tip! Poor guy! You can also see that his little cheeks are really getting chubby!

We are so blessed to have such a healthy little man! We pray that this blessing continues after he's born!

Fall Friendship Dinner at Prestonwood

It's been a few weeks, BUT the Women's ministry at church had a great dinner and speaker for the women at the church. I was so excited because my awesome sister was able to come to the dinner with me! I loved getting to visit with her and enjoy a great evening together! We get to see each other pretty often, but it was extra fun doing something like this that we haven't gotten to do before!
All the girls at our table. Props to our host, Becky, who decorated our table! It was beautiful and totally got me in the mood for Fall! I love this time of year!


Baby Shower on August 22nd!

A few of my sweet girl friends had another shower for us on August 22nd. Jeff and I met the girls and their husbands when we were first married. We are so blessed to have friends like them!!!

Kelley made a banner of Hunter's name and also decorated the mantle with fun sports items!
Once again, all the yummy food the girls prepared to fit with my "diet". The Oreo balls were awesome! ALSO, you can see the diaper cake decorated with FLORIDA GATOR items for Hunter. Jeff thought this was awesome!!! It will be fun to dress Hunter in his Gator Gear and watch them play with Dad!!!
This is a blanket Rita gave us that says "I am wonderfully made." Psalm 139:14 This will definitely be the blanket we use in Hunter's carrier when we leave the hospital with him for the 1st time! I just love it!
My friend Julie and I showing off the baby bellies. (I am 31 weeks here...and yes...the belly has grown since then too!) She and her husband were married right after Jeff and I were and they are pregnant with their first child, Lily Faith, and due a few weeks after us! How fun is that! We were so surprised when we found out we were due so close together!
Sarah, me, Lindsay and Kelley! Lindsay is pregnant with their 2nd child, Conner William, and due a few weeks after us as well! Gotta LOVE baby boys!!!
Thank you girls for such a great afternoon to celebrate our son who will be here soon! Each of you are a true blessing in my life!

Baby Shower on August 8th!

So it's taken me a bit to get pictures up, but I'm glad to get to post them now. My sister Rita and long-time friend Erin gave us a shower at my sister's house. Here are the pictures!

This is a diaper wreath Rita made. We decided not to take it apart yet and bring it to the hospital to hang on the door after Hunter comes! Isn't it too cute!

Rita also made a banner with Hunter's name.

All the yummy food Rita and Erin had for the shower. They were so sweet and made sure I had plenty of choices to choose from to fit my "diet"!
This WAS the baby belly at 29 weeks...it's definitely grown since then! :)
My mom-in-law Wilma (G Mama), Me and my mom Debbie (Grandma) at the shower!
Erin, me and Rita!
At the end of the shower my step-dad Paul, Jeff and my dad-in-law Jeff came to the house to see all the wonderful gifts that people gave us. It was SO awesome to have both sets of grandparents there to celebrate Hunter! We didn't know if Jeff's parents and brother Tony and sister-in-law Robyn would be able to make it in town, but they did! It was such a great day!!!

My grandparents came to the shower along with my Aunt Connie, cousin Heather and her daughter Zoe. Here is my Papa and Nana, Rita with Bryce, me with Laney, and Heather with Zoe. We worked hard to get a picture with everyone looking in the same direction!
And you can see that everyone was DONE!!!
It was a fantastic day celebrating Hunter with family and friends. Our son is so blessed to have so many people that love him already!!!
