I have said it before but we are completely blessed to have people in our lives who care for us! Today we had our 3rd shower which was thrown by my co-workers. We had it before school and it was a pot luck event. I love pot lucks!! Not only was there yummy food, there were great people and great gifts!
We got a lot of super cute clothes, a gift certificate, and a couple of books for her bookshelf too. We also got the tub we wanted along with some bath items for her. It was really fantastic and I am so grateful to Diane and Carole for throwing it for me. You are so wonderful, thank you very much!!
Pictures will be added soon!

35 Weeks = Shower #2
Saturday was an awesome day! I slept until 8:20am, which, normally would be FANTASTIC, but Maria was going to pick me up at 8:45 to go over to Bruce and Sharon's house for our second baby shower. Brian thought I would just wake up in time (since I haven't been able to sleep past 7:15am lately) and I thought he was going to set the alarm for me, oh well, it worked out!
The shower was absolutely beautiful! Danielle made us a diaper cake - which is still intact on our dinning room table - that has so many wonderful things on it! A sippy cup, travel items, shoes, washcloths... it's beautiful!! Laura made us all mimosas. No worries, mine was just grape juice but it was still yummy! Another yummy part of the shower was the food! Danielle and Sharon made some YUMMY dishes that left me both full and wanting more. We played a couple of games - What Was Teresa Wearing, Poopy Diaper, Don't Say Baby, and BINGO. Those were a lot of fun and I have to say, I enjoy candy - clearly - but did really poorly at the poopy diaper game! Apparently I need to melt more of my candy then eat it.
We got a lot of great gifts that both Brian and I are excited about. We got the highchair we registered for as well as some super cute outfits! We got a couple of handmade blankets which are beautiful, and a handmade heirloom bonnet too. A basket full of goodies, toys, Tupperware, and a nursing cover. Danielle and Sharon even made us a diaper bag out of one of her old Air Force flight suits! It is so incredibly cool that we can't describe it! One super cool feature of this diaper bag is that, since it's made out of her old flight suit, it's flame retardant!! I told Brian not to "make sure" of that feature :)
We are completely blessed to have such giving people in our lives! Thank you all so very much, especially Sharon and Danielle! You are awesome!
Adelle is growing:
Adelle doesn't have much room to maneuver now that she's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew). Because it's so snug in my womb, she isn't likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times she kicks should remain about the same. Her kidneys are fully developed now, and her liver can process some waste products. Most of her basic physical development is now complete — she'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight. Awesome, I just hope she doesn't take after her daddy by being a 10+ lb baby! EEK! Oh, and my uterus is 1,000 times it's original size! Double EEK!! Only 34 days to go!

First Shower
We had our first shower on Sunday and it was a blast! My Aunt Gloria and Cousin Janice threw it for me/us and I can't thank them enough! There was SO much wonderfully yummy food there, great games and a fabulous group of people - it was so much fun!
The games we played were fun too! Mom and I got corsages made up of things Adelle will need like washcloths, a thermometer, q-tip, bib clips, and a number of other things. We had different things on our corsages too! Anyway, we had to leave the room and the guests had to remember and write down what was on each corsage - I don't think I would have been able to do that, baby brain or not!
Another fun game was a baby product price-is-right game. There were 5 trays for us to look at and who ever came closest, without going over, won! The first try was toughest because the guests (and I) didn't know what to even start with but as there were more trays and the hostesses read off the prices, we ended getting pretty close!
I think my favorite game of the day was a Mad-Libs Labor Story. This was HILARIOUS!! The guests were given a list of words to come up with and I had to read the story with their words put in. Man, the things these people came up with!!! We were all laughing throughout the game - it was great!
Not only did we get keep all of the supplies on the 5 trays, we got the crib soother we wanted, our monitor, some adorable clothes and our car seat! Now I can't wait to organize everything and put it all away!!
