Appointment

Things are going great E! We had our appointment today. You had a heartbeat of 163 today and everything went smoothly. So smoothly that we were in and out in about 10 minutes. My blood pressure was 118/64. Finally getting normal! :) I'm back to my starting weight too so that is also good. Only four more weeks until your big ultrasound debut!

This past weekend I went to Charlotte for the annual cookie bake! I didn't know this, but it is tradition to throw a shower for someone who has a baby at the cookie bake. It was so much fun! It was definitely a picture perfect shower which is why I am posting so many pictures. :) Baby E and I thank everyone who participated in this! I never realized how much fun baby showers are until I had my own. :)

We played a ton of fun games (all of which the winner handed the prize to me to keep. awesome rules). We also had lovely cucumber, ham salad and chicken salad finger sandwiches with berries on the side. The cupcakes were adorable lambs since my nursery will be lamb themed. I also got a ton of the lamb stuff that I registered for a pottery barn kids. :)

Shannon snuck me out of the house to go "see her new apartment" while all the ladies set everything up. Your grandma had me convinced that she had people sanding the dining room for some repairs. The dining room was all taped off and shut down for the cookie bake until I walked in the door around noon on Friday. Everyone yelled "Surprise!!" I was in TOTAL shock. You are only 17 weeks along and I am not in baby shower mode at all so I had no clue until I really looked around and saw all the baby stuff. The picture of me with my purse on still is when I first walked in. :) Fun Fun!

Everything is becoming so much more real now that things are happening! Your room looks fantastic. I am going to have to post more pictures soon. I have all the shower stuff put away and organized. I even washed, folded and put away all of the clothes that I have for you so far. Everything smells so good. Niko is highly interested in your lamb mobile since it is real wool. He keeps staring longingly into the slats of your crib where it is hidden away from him. Hopefully you will like it as much as he does.

Talk soon!
