My Second Woodland Baby Shower (Photo Heavy)

Asher's quilt made by my Mother in law.... I need to get a better picture of it, but I love it!

Some friends including Beth who is to my left and my other sister in law... she is pregnant and due in September. :)

Good ole games of chocolate diapers. & Opening presents... the Baker boys (who are so cute) were my present helpers. 

And then me and my big ole belly :)

 

The Ultrasound... 36 Weeks & Annie

 (Taken by Annie... read on)

First off my ultrasound went really well, but I had to wait till Monday to go over the results because I got it done at a separate facility & every time I asked the tech a question she said "I can't really tell you that it has to be reviewed first." Anyways, its so funny how BIG that baby gets from 20 to 36 weeks. Back then we could see his whole body on the screen and now its just one part at a time.

Well it's no surprise my Asher is a big boy... measuring approximately 8 pounds already. (Josh & I were both really big babies) & I am actually measuring around 38 weeks but they stick with the original due date all the same. Basically he can come from any time now to a few weeks. I told him he has to stay in until after this Saturday because I will be having my Virginia baby shower! And I'm pretty excited.

This week a good friend of mine named Kaylah did our maternity shoot and I think the pictures will be all edited by the end of the week. I am realllllly excited to see them!!! We had a lot of fun taking them. Kaylah is really awesome and has a natural eye for beauty... she also rocks a paintbrush. This week I will take a picture of a recent painting we purchased from her because it's amazing.

Before those, though, my good friend Annie (who goes by Anna too), who is an AMAZING photographer, had a concept idea for a picture which she asked me to pose for. Of course I said yes, not only is she seriously...seriously talented, but she is a dear friend to my heart. (She is the one who took our engagement photos which make up my current header and blog buttons).

I almost hated adding my "36 weeks" to this picture because it is so lovely, but I am running out of week... so here is her concept piece with my added text (I like it much better without it though) & to  clarify for my Momma, because she asked, I was wearing a skirt and tank top :) This is my first and probably only really "belly" picture... which is special to me because I want to remember my belly as it is in the moment of life.

To see more of her work go to her.... (click below)

She also took this shot which I loved because of the sky:

So thanks Annie, you are awesome & I can't wait till you visit again!

 

A Woodland Baby Shower & 30 Weeks. *Photo Heavy*

I am in Texas and having a great time with my family & friends.

Here are some pictures from my wonderful Woodland baby shower put together by my big sister Elena, and my accountability partner "AP" Alicia.

the adorable invites.

30 Weeks. 10 (more or less to go)

the wonderful spread of food.

A tree shelf my Daddy made for Asher & "mushroom" cupcakes

the loot.

Stuffed friends my big sister got my wonderful sister-in-law to make for Asher.

*Some are based off of others Etsy designs and are not for resale, 

but the deer she came up with & I am sure she would be willing to do custom orders.

She can make practically anything.*

She stitched Asher's name on each one of them.

Woodland friends

cutest clothes & burp cloths.

Can't wait for my little man.

Reading books. Everyone was asked to bring a book for Asher.

My friend Ashley due probably sometime this week.

C'mon Eli your Mommy wants to see you.

My sisters <3

The gang... minus some family. Thanks to everyone who came. I felt so blessed!

I was so overjoyed by my shower, and seeing so many dear friends!

 Here I am at 19 Weeks &

In two days I will be 20 weeks.

Half way... 5 months.

Oh gee golly.

Time is flying, but my time spent at home as been so nice and relaxing.

This Christmas was really beautiful. One of my favorite yet.

We sang Christmas songs and just had a wonderful time as a family.

I can't believe next Christmas I will have a little one to open gifts... 

although in reality the little will probably more interested in the paper than the gifts.

I also got some wonderful presents myself including some clothes that fit.

Praise the Lord. :)

(In the picture above I am wearing jeggings & a maternity sweater)= Comfy. 

My wonderful hubs also got me some awesome stuff including some new Minnetonka boots...

not the ones seen above but new browns one. I plan on wearing them in my 20 weeks photo.

I also got to meet up with a lot of my friends and talk about life and our ole school days together.

Here is a picture of us all at Starbucks.

All in all this time as been so great.

I am truly blessed by my family & friends.
