28 Week Ultrsound

Craig and I got to see the baby again! Baby S has grown so much! And the technician said we have a healthy baby so far which is always great news :) In the photo above you can see the baby's face and forearm. Apparently our baby has a BIG head! It's head is in the 80th percentile, yikes! And it's little feet are two inches long already. As far as overall size Baby S is in the 56th percentile which is good. It likes to move around a lot and was in a big ball with it's feet by it's head. We got to see it's little lips which I can't wait to kiss! After the ultrasound I had an appointment with the doc and all looks good so far. My gestational diabetes test came out negative, my blood pressure is still low and my weight gain is on track. Just under 3 months left! Hopefully all continues to go smoothly.

Northern California Baby Shower

My dear friends Amy, Olivia and my Mom's best friend Christie threw me such a fun Baby Shower! It was at Christie's house in Sebastopol and they went all out! The place was decorated beautifully and there were such great details like Baby S wood letters, a basket to put words of advice for us and the baby and a candy bar! All my best girlfriends form childhood and on were there, my wonderful Aunties and good family friends. It was so great to see everyone since it's hard to connect with me living so far away now. I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends and couldn't be happier to bring Baby S into such a great support group. Olivia asked Craig and I questions about parenthood and read the answers to everyone, I got teary eyed but learned a lot about Craig's hopes and fears about parenthood. Apparently he's scared of changing diapers :) We also played the who knows Kelly best game. We had such a good time and thanks to everyone who came!!

Southern California Baby Shower

My wonderful sisters threw me the most amazing Baby Shower on October 3 at Mrs. Burton's Tea House in Old Town San Diego. It was such a cute venue! The Tea House was built in the 1800's and was an Old Victorian home. When everyone arrived they put on fun hats and boas, it was like playing dress up as a kid. Everyone was served tea and crumpets and we played fun games like Baby Bingo and everyone wrote some words of advice to us and the baby. Wendy and Kim made these adorable baby bottles filled with gummy bears for favors and had delicious cupcakes for everyone. There was also a raffle for everyone that brought me diapers for the baby. Grandma Irene won the drawing :) So many great friends and family showed up, it was such a great day! I loved seeing everyone and feel so blessed to have such a great network of friends and family!! We got so many great gifts, Baby S is spoiled already :)
