Week 33: Let the showers begin!

Baby: This week baby weighs about 4 pounds and is as big as a pineapple. 

This week's appointment went well with the baby's heartbeat at 154, measuring well and facing down. My blood pressure was also looking good and doc was impressed that I only gained two pounds over the holidays (phew!).

This week we had our first shower at Third Degree Advertising. I am so fortunate to work with so many wonderful friends.

The shower was decorated in the nursery colors and was sushi-themed complete with a full spread of sushi, edamame and a cute sushi diaper creation made by Caroline

... and we also had homeade cupcakes and punch from baking conisseur, Natalie.

Note: These aren't the actual cupcakes Natalie made... those went too fast!

The Third Degree team chipped in to get us a Pack n' Play and two canvas bins of items from our registry including onesies, bottoms, socks, pacifiers, bath accessories, a windshield shade and diapers.

This week we also got a ton of clothes from friends Nick and Nicole.

... gifts from our friends, Greg, Natalie and little Xavier that moved to Germany on Thursday.

... another set of sweet cards from Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Stan. We also recently received books about boys from them that are great... and I'm sure we'll be needing before we know it!

And we scheduled our baby birthing class and worked on preparing the house for upcoming showers and baby's arrival.

Only 4 more weeks until baby is done cookin' and 7 more until the typical 40 week term!
