The girls from our LIFE group from church (along with 2 of my moms friends) hosted a baby tea for me last Sunday. It was such a beautiful shower! Thanks girls for such a special day! Above: the hostess'..although we are missing about 5 of them in this pic

Getting Ready for Baby

So, I've now had 2 showers and one more to go....trying to figure out all this stuff this child's gonna require...they sure are high maintenance! I need some help....if you have time let me know if you have any thoughts or opinions on the following:

1. Anything you couldn't live without and/or your favorite baby gadget etc?
2. Video monitor....I got a brand called "summer" that I had registered for...is that a good one? I didn't do any research on them and there were tons to choose from so I just registered for one I thought looked good.
3. Anything you got that you ended up not really using?
4. Do I need to go buy all the baby lotions, detergent, shampoo's etc before he gets here?
5. Anything else you did to get ready for your child that you were so glad you did? I haven't had time to "nest"...but I was going to schedule some days to attempt that...ha!

Babymoon!

We usually take a big trip each spring but this year we decided to just do a few days at the beach so I could lay around and do nothing(: Andy's grandparents have a place at Orange beach so we are spoiled to get to go there so many times each year. It's my favorite thing to do...and we already scheduled a time to go in October with Ryder-he'll only be 8 weeks so not sure how that will go...but better no sleep at the beach than no sleep at home(:

We rarely take pics at the beach but I begged Andy to take a few just so we could remember our last hoorah with just the two of us for a while...

College and Family Shower

Some of my best friends from college and 2 of my cousins hosted a baby shower for me last weekend... it was such a blast getting to celebrate with everyone. Thanks girls for such a special day!

Best friends from college.... so special to have each of them there to celebrate with me! (Kristin had just left and missed the pic :(

Cousins...Lauren, Barclay and Melissa

Cookie and Kaki.... the best grandmas ever.... this child is already spoiled rotten!

I hit 32 weeks the day before the shower and that was 2 weeks ago... so only 6 weeks to go now! yay!
