Can I just say that I have the BEST sister ever!! Jami, thanks so much for the surprise "mail" shower. It was really fun for me. I had no idea Jami was going to do this. Although, now that I think about it she did keep asking me questions about baby stuff and asking when the next time we were going to see Mark's family.
This is a picture of all the goodies I got. Notice the hand crocheted (sp?) blanket and beanie Jami made. I want to learn how to do that. It is so cute. Mark's mom was really impressed and loved it. I got so many cute and fun thanks. Thanks again to everyone who sent stuff.
On Monday Mark's family came to visit us for Memorial day and surprised me with tons of gifts and a little baby shower. Thanks for everyone who sent gifts. It was really fun for me. It felt like Christmas. Along with all the baby gifts that were sent Mark's side of the family all gave us a little bit of money to spend on baby stuff because we live so far away (they all live in Utah). Mark's mom (Mark went with her) went to the store and bought gifts with the money so it would be a surprise to me and so we wouldn't just use the money on diapers. With that money she got a car seat, baby tub, and a changing table (which was broken, so we have to return it :( ) Mark's mom also quilted a baby blanket for us.
Below are a few pictures of my shower. Sorry they are all of me. Mark took the pictures. :) Mark's mom also brought a little lunch and dessert for the shower and had blue plates, cups, and forks. It was so fun. I wish you all could have been there.
You can sort of see my baby belly in these pictures but I don't think they do justice. I'll have to post a picture of my baby bump while I'm standing up. You can see it better.
We all loved this card! It was so cute. I can't remember who gave it to us but it was so adorable that you opened it up and the baby would swing.A little pregnancy update:
I'm feeling really good these days. Tired but good. I'm having a hard time sleeping at night but every couple of days I get a good nights sleep. I have also noticed that my thighs are really really sore. I don't know if this is normal or not but it isn't from working out because all I do is walk, bike, and a little bit of weights, nothing strenuous enough to make me sore. It is kind of annoying. I can't believe I only have 3 weeks left. I'm feeling more than ready. I'm just waiting for the baby to drop and things to start happening. I do have contractions quite often but they aren't hard, long, or regular.
My biggest fear is that my water will break at work or while I'm at the bank or post office or somewhere embarrassing. Seriously, what would i do??? Call Mark and just wait? Find a bathroom? What if I'm at the post office, where there isn't a public restroom? Do I just walk around downtown with drenched pants? Or yell out that my water broke so that everyone would know? Scary thought.
We are getting really excited. I think I have everything ready except we don't have a dresser or changing table so we might just have to pill cloths and stuff on the floor for a while.

That's awesome that you were able to get a good start with all the baby stuff. I thought that was a really good idea Jami. (thats really neat that you crocheted that blanket & beanie too)! Do you feel pretty ready now that you've got some basics and more? Rusty and I just barely went out and got a few things for the baby. I bet you're so ready to be done being prg. but that's good you are feeling pretty good. I can't believe you're about to have a baby because you look so small still!
I'm glad that it worked out. :)
I'm glad you had so much fun! I thought it was a super fun idea also.
Your questions about your water breaking made me laugh so hard! I didn't know ANYTHING when I had your mom so when my water broke, I had no clue what was even happening! Glad your surprise shower was fun. Love gr. R
OH TIFf!!!! I"m so Excited to have a new baby nephew!!!!!!
You had a good month with your birthday and baby shower! Thank you for your note. I'm down the basement looking at the picture of you when you were a baby with lots of dark hair. It is on a calendar for 1983 that your parents sent to me when you were in CA. Your baby will probably look a lot like that photograph because Mark has dark hair,too. Good luck on everything!
Jami-You did a beautiful job on the baby afghan and cap! I'm impressed!
Where's my grandbaby????????
I've been wondering when your due date is again and I cant seem to remember BUT you did put up this post the end of May and you mentioned that you had 3 weeks left... so any day now huh? I'm really excited for you guys!
