Bayer Baby Shower

In my office of 30, there are currently 3 pregnant women (10%, pretty large ratio!). The 3 of us have named ourselves the 'Plano-Preggos' :) Myself and co-worker, Antje, are due only 2 weeks apart; her with a girl, me with a boy. The office graciously threw us a combo baby shower, filled with cake, punch, and plenty of gifts. It was a surprise and I actually was! I feel very lucky to have such great co-workers. Thanks Bayer Gang!

Are Boy Babies bigger than Girl Babies? This picture would suggest "Yes"!

31 Weeks

Third trimester and 31 weeks! We are in the home stretch. Doctor Branning says baby is measuring right at 31 weeks and is head down in preparation for arrival. He told me I have about 6 weeks to get things in order and than it's time to sit back and relax while we wait on baby to arrive! We are starting to collect all the necessary equipment, crib..check, car seat...check, stroller...check, check! We also started our Lamaze and Birthing class this past Friday...so I guess it's time to have a baby! My belly is stretching to it's maximum capacity and baby is getting tight in there. Just 8.5 short weeks to go and you'll be here little one...quicker than a blink of an eye. Nursery isn't ready yet...but Mommy and Daddy are!

Family Baby Shower

This past weekend, we flew home to Ohio for a 'big' family baby shower. We had an amazing turn out of our closest family and friends, about 50 guests! Deborah and Jacqueline put on quite an event with a puppy dog theme that matched our nursery; no detail left undone. We can't thank everyone enough for coming. Peter and I had an amazing time and are counting down the days (only 9 weeks left!) for baby's arrival.
