Celebrating Baby Girl...

Over the last few weeks, I have had the chance to be with great friends and family at dinners and showers to celebrate our baby girl! NO - she does not have a name yet. We are still thinking...and praying...Brian insists he has to see her first.

I have been REALLY overwhelmed by how fun it has been to be with my sweet friends and family. THANKS to each of you who came and who hosted these celebrations! I am one blessed girl...okay, well, right now, I guess I am 2 blessed girls! HA! :-)

An update on baby girl...we had a sonogram last Monday. I was 34 weeks at the sonogram and our girl measured "just right" She weighs 5 pounds 8 ounces. Everything looks great. So, my next appointment is this coming Monday. I will be 36 weeks at that point and that means we only have about 3 or 4 weeks left until we meet her.

Lots of pink clothes have been washed, teeny tiny diapers have been purchased, and Matthew talks about his "baby sister" all the time. We are all ready! :=)

Here I am with my friend Cathi...my fellow pregnant friend! So thankful for the many conversations we have had over the last 7 or 8 months!
