Baby shower, belly pics, etc.

Jon's family put on a baby shower for us on Sunday. BIG thanks to them and espeically Jon's mom for a GREAT time and MANY wonderful gifts! Thank you Tracy for making the trip up despite the craziness...we really appreciate it and loved seeing you and Jesse. :)

In addition to some new things, we were also given some of Jon's outfits and books from when he was a baby, and also a coat had been hand-made by his grandmother. Here is a list of everything we now have, including things from before the shower, and from the shower:

Clothes (mostly 0-3 month sizes)
Onesies
Blankets
Sleep sacks
Snow suits
Crib sheets
Mattress pads
Pacies and clips
Burp cloths
Sling carrier
Care kit (nail clippers, thermometer, etc.)
Bouncer
Teething toy
Spoons
Books
Formula dispenser (container)
Crib/Mattress/Bedding set
Dresser/Changer/Changing pad
Glider/ottoman
Bibs
Baby bathtub
Diaper genie
Carseat
Pack n Play

So we are doing really well! There is also a combined shower for me and 2 other ladies at the Church on Monday evening (the 19th). Jon and I are also planning to get the swing and stroller (the frame one that the carseat fits into) sometime soon. Some of the furniture (the dresser/changer, and the rocker/glider) are not here yet but have been ordered, and/or are waiting for us at the store until we can pick them up. So once we have Nathan's room all set up, I'll definitely post pictures!

Here are some recent belly pics, (complete with stretch marks, lovely!) at approx. 30 weeks. I hadn't noticed much of a change until we took these pics, but there is a noticable difference. He's definitely growing!








I'm feeling pretty good, starting to get to that uncomfortable stage though...some back aches, and pain in my Sciatica that makes changing positions at night quite painful and difficult...not much fun when I'm waking up every couple hours or so! And the heartburn is still here on a regular basis...it's probably here to stay, at least for now. I'm not getting as much sleep lately, but I don't feel like I'm "missing" any either, so that's good. Nathan is working his leg muscles and making his presence known. Only ten more weeks to go!

Talk to you all again soon.

YAy! New belly pics! I bet since you have a lot of heartburn Nathan will have a lot of hair. It's an old wives tale, but it's seems true every time.
