~baby weekend~

the weeks sure seem to be flying by! this past weekend we went to tina & brian's baby shower for their soon to be little man! fun was had by all and many cupcakes were eaten by me of course. =) after the shower we went and visited with ed & corie's new baby "liam hoyt". oh man, is he the cutest thing ever! we have his blog page listed on our links if you'd like to check him out. we definitely left their house wanting violet to be with us NOW! ehhee.

i've been feeling really well. the tiredness has definitely set in again... but not as bad as before. my belly keeps on growing making it harder to get out of bed in the morning and putting on my shoes usually involves john's help! i have an appt. with my midwife this week to have my diabetes screening done. i'm not too worried about that test. i just hate having my blood drawn. yuck.

my dad called me yesterday with the fantastic news that he'd like to give us a crib!! so john and i went and picked one up. john set it up and it looks fantastic! i caught the kitties eyeing it and let them know that this isn't their new bed. we don't have the mattress yet, so i'm pretty sure they'll be leaving it alone.

save the date!

so baby shower plans are in the works! my 2 wonderful mothers: ellen michals & pat schallert have graciously offered to host/plan my co-ed shower!!! the date is april 15th!! so mark it on your calendars and get ready to party baby style!

also, for all the lovely dava ladies out there... miss julia edge will be throwing a baby shower on april 9th for girls only! :)

closer to the dates i'll be putting up directions and any info that is not on the inviations. until then. *muah*

thanks to tina and this lovely internet i've found blogger! definitely a great idea for people to get updated on what's going on in our world at their own leisure. (then i don't have to send out mass emails either!)

things are going very well. i have just come down with a cold, which is no fun. sleeping with a cold is just not the same without the lovely help of Nyquil. :) Violet has been waking me at night with kicking, hiccups and whatever else she's doing in there.

i'm now 6 months along. the picture i posted is of me at 5 months and the belly just keeps on growing!

okay, i'm tired. i had insomnia and awoke at 3am and haven't gone back to sleep yet. i'll be sure to post any info regarding baby showers on here as well. check back.

love ,
