6 Month Mark...

Yes, it has been 6 whole and growing months.... I am surprised as the next person! I had my visit to the doctor last week and they told me that I am doing great - only gained 13 lbs, NO stretch marks, heart is healthy, happily beating away and all my measurements are on schedule. Very exciting business!!

The little one is moving around A LOT - has taken to kicking Cody's hand every he rests it on my belly - which makes us laugh very heartily! She must know cause she keeps doing flips afterward. The movement is more constant and she is a fiesty one. The weirdest part is getting your belly button kicked from the inside. It was a strange feeling - I am glad that the movement is gradual cause if it just started right off the bat - I think I would have freaked out.

I am trying to locate a decent picture - one that I want everyone to see - and once I have one that shows the belly - I will post it. :)

Surprise Shower

I went down to my sister's house in the Fremont, CA to pick up Katie, my niece (for those who haven't met everyone yet) - Katie came to stay with us for a week before Mary & John flew out for vacation. Cody and I were both hoping to make the trip but he had to work and tend to the doggies, so it was just a quick jaunt down and back. Would have been nice if we both could have been there and stayed longer.

It was a complete surprise to come back to the house and see it decorated for a baby shower - for me no less - got my preggo hormones going and was the nicest thing that anyone could do.



What a great surprise it was!

See?! Happy and Surprised! Tastey treats too - what more could a pregnant lady ask for?! Not to mention just completely cute baby stuff!

We even had the babies representing. Seneca, my niece! She is the cutest thing!

The centerpiece for the shower - a diaper cake - is that not the cutest thing?! We are going to keep it in the nursery once that is all put together.

Here is all the happy people who help put a wonderful surprise together. Thanks again to Suzanne, Dad, Seneca, Poline and Katie! :)
