the suspense....

OH MY!  I cannot believe that we only have 3 and a half weeks until the due date!!  It seems like just yesterday that Josh and I found out we were expecting our little miracle and wandering what this journey was going to be like.  He was only a twinkle in our eye and now he is about to enter the world!  We could not be more excited and anxious.  We have done so much preparation for his arrival and cannot wait to see who he will become!  It's crazy to think about that he is already developing his own personality. 
A couple weeks ago we were fortunate enough to be able to see our little man again in 3D!  He has already changed so much from the last time we saw him at 21 weeks.  I was just under 35 weeks at our last appointment and my oh my did his cheeks get chubby!  At 21 weeks he was a spitting image of his Daddy, but it looks like now he has taken on some of my traits, which makes me pretty excited:).  I think he has got my lips, but I think he will have his Daddy's eyes, nose, and chin.  We were told that he is a very healthy baby weighing in at over 5lbs already and he has big hands and feet (which he gets from Daddy!).  My fluid levels were great, because Josh says I have an addiction to water (which I think is a good thing:)).  The appointment went great and we couldn't be more excited to meet him!

my little chunker :)



already a happy boy!



Last Friday my co-workers had thrown me a shower and they had also surprised me by inviting Josh to come as well!  They had cheeseballs (one of the first things I craved), bacon wrapped tator tots from Highlife Lounge, and Monster Bars.  Some enjoyed some wine and beer, and we also had punch!  They were way too generous with the gifts, but Josh and I are much appreciative of their generosity.  The Live Healthy America peeps and Susan G. Komen got Baby R a swing, changing pad, a frog changing pad cover, and waterproof covers for the pad.  My friends at Advocacy Strategies got Baby R a highchair, diapers, 2 books, and onsies.  Once again, we are so blessed to have so many great friends in our life!

Live Healthy America crew!

Saturday night some of the cops wives met up for a girls' night out for drinks and sushi at Sakari Sushi Lounge.  It was amazing as usual and all the ladies looked fabulous!  After dinner the rest of the crew went out to do some dancing (so jealous!).  I went home after dinner, but it was good to get out for a bit and to see everyone.  I told them that we need to schedule one in a couple months because I'm sure mama will need a night out! :)
