Baby Shower No. 2

I think I had mentioned this before, but I started a new job in December. It was a big transition, but this firm took a chance on hiring me and has been more than nice to me during my pregnancy. The best part is that all of the people are excited about the baby!!! So the ladies at the office threw me a shower! It so much fun and again, everyone was so generous!!!

One of the other paralegals picked the decorations for the shower. The little white papers on the table are quotes about little girls. The sad part about that is she couldn't even make it to the shower. She had a meeting with some experts and she wasn't able to get out of it. :( I felt so bad for her but I enjoyed the decorations very much.

For food every one brought in a delicious dish!!! One of the attorneys introduced me to a jalapeno and cilantro hummus. It is amazing!!!!!!!!!

Here is a group shot. Everyone was sharing strories of their husbands while they were giving birth. They were pretty funny!!!!

Now it is time for the good stuff...the gifts!!!

Several people around the office pitched in and got us the basinet we registered for. It is beautiful and I love it!!!!

Here is her first bathing suit!!! It is super cute. Teddy isn't too sure of it because it is a two piece, but it is still cute!!!!

While we were enjoying the presents we got word that our firm won its first trial!!!! That is a great result for our firm as we are just starting out and need to start making a name for ourselves.

Then it was time for the rest of the good stuff...cake!!! First, I love cake. Second, I love red velvet cake. Third, it is a bundt cake.

Needless to say, it was a great shower...

Baby Shower No. 1

On May 8th Roni and Lauren (Teddy's Mom and sister) threw me a great baby shower!!! There were cute games, an amazing cake, wonderful guests, and cute gifts!!!! Here are a few pictures of the day :)

Lauren thought of a cute game where people had to guess different white powders. I played the game, not to win of course, and ended up only missing two!!!! Here is a picture of my best friend Lizzie with powder on her nose.

Lizzie had her little girl on April 9th and named her Tyanna. Here is Alyssa holding her...she is so little...

Now this is one of my favorite gifts as it is both cute and clever!!! Teddy’s Aunt Dolores is a Girl Scout Leader and I made the comment to her a few months ago about how mad I was at Teddy for not letting me order more Thin Mints. I loved them before I was pregnant and then I loved them even more. Plus they freeze so well that I like to keep a few boxes in the freezer for a rainy day. Anyway, she remembered!!!

The cookies are for me and the bib is obviously for Manni...But isn’t it cute? I didn’t even know they made things like that!!!!

After the shower we got together for some family pictures.

Here are the Aunts (Mindi, Lauren, Alyssa)

Here is a picture of Aunt Lauren and Grandma Wright

The Grandmas (Christy and Roni)

And the Grandmas and Great Grandmas (Great Grandma Carmen, Grandma Christy, Grandma Roni, and Great Grandma Dora)

Everything turned out great and we were given so many nice and wonderful things.

7 Months

Wow, it sure has been a while since I last updated my blog. Sorry about that. Well a lot of things have happened....

We found out that Teddy's parents will be moving from VA to Tucson at the end of June. Both Roni and I are very releaved that they only have a 2 hour drive to the hospital instead of an 8 hour flight!!!! It just so exciting that David was able to find a job at the Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson and they were able to get them both out here well before the baby's due date!!! Now all of our immiate family lives in the same state! Very exciting!

We had another ultra sound this month to look at the size of the baby. The ultrasound tech said she is right on schedule, give or take 2-3 weeks. Since we know the date of conception, I think she will be two weeks late.

Teddy's parents were in town last week and they were so generous to the baby! Roni noticed that the crib set we registered for was on clearance and picked-up some sheets, mobile, and lamp to finish decorating the room. I guess the set isn't discontinued, but no one told me....Anyway, while the ladies were out shopping the guys were back working on the nursery. David and Teddy finished the chair rail and a few days earlier Roni and David finished painting the room and closet!!! It looks so cute. There are a few more things that I want to get done before I post anymore pictures.

Well, that seems to be it...oh wait...here are recent pictures of my belly :)
