Baby Showers!

We were so blessed this week...we had TWO baby showers! The first one was on Wednesday. The girls at work threw me a diaper party/baby shower. Poor Avery had NO diapers, so they got us all stocked up on that essential. Here are some of the pictures. It was at 07:30 am, so everyone was sleepy from working the night before! Loving the food!


The beautiful cake Karen brought...and so yummy! I am still eating it!

The spread...Jaci made the diaper cake...isn't it so cute!

Present time! This is a cute little frame with a spot for her hand and foot prints from Gennifer and William.

Diapers!

Sabrina even came in from Galveston. She made the most awesome basket FULL of stuff...she said she went crazy buying Pink, she has 2 boys :)

I worked Sunday and Wednesday nights...but by Thursday night I was feeling horrible! I had been fighting a cold for about a week and a half and it finally caught up with me. Josh took care of me though, he made me peppermint tea:

And a steak dinner!

By Saturday I was feeling MUCH better. We had some people come over for the Saints game...unfortunately I didn't take ANY pictures.

Here are the belly pictures from before church on Sunday. I am 37 weeks and 3 days here.

After church, I thought we were going over to our friends house for lunch. But they surprised me with ANOTHER baby shower! This was thrown by the girls Josh goes to school with. They are so sweet, and have become really good friends over the last 3 years.

Aimee made awesome desserts!

The girls...

The guys...

More presents! Joe's fiance Leah made us our decorative wall letter for over Avery's bed. She painted them and put the ribbons on them and everything!

Chris and Aimee got us the cutest little ruby slippers.

Pete and Kelly got us a personalized Avery sippy cup and her bathtub.
After the baby shower, Josh and I went to BabiesRus to get the last few things we needed for baby. It was a lot of little stuff like crib and pack n play sheets, burp cloths, receiving blankets, and bottles. We used the remaining gift cards so it wasn't expensive at all. I still have to wash and put away that stuff, but I feel like for the most part we are ready! I started having some contractions in church yesterday...but they stopped. It is just so unreal to think that she can come at any time now!
I have to work the next three nights which I am DREADING! I have been getting so swollen after being on my feet for 12 hours, my hands are starting to swell a little bit too. But everything has been fine with my blood pressure and all. This is just the discomforts of pregnancy. Our next doctor's appointment is on Thursday, they will check me then to see if I am dilated at all. Hopefully all the working and walking will help to be a little bit dilated! That is all that is new with us...just getting ready for baby!
