Your first party!

Me with some of my closest and dearest friends at your shower!

All the lovely ladies of the family!! They sure know how to throw a great party!

Your Aunt Hayley came in town to celebrate!

Me at 25 weeks heading to the shower!

Last weekend was my baby shower! Let's just say it was all I could ask for and MORE!! It was such a wonderful day spent with close friends and family. The food was amazing and the company was even better. We all had so much fun opening presents, chatting and catching up, and gushing over your arrival in the upcoming months. Your dad and I got so many nice things for you. You can now ride in style with your new stroller and car seat. We also got your Pack 'N Play which you will sleep in for the first few weeks! Adorable outfits, blankets, burp cloths, bibs, bouncy chairs, etc. We were so thankful to everyone who came and could celebrate with us! I can't wait to show you the board of pictures your Mimi Thompson put together of your dad and me. Looking at the pictures sure did make me wonder about all the adorable features you will get from each of us. I know you will be growing so much in the next few months! We will look forward to seeing you at our 3-D ultrasound coming up in a month or so!! Let the nesting begin as we start to get your room ready. I can't wait to fill all the adorable clothes and socks with YOU!!! Love you!

Growing, growing. . .

24 weeks!



23 weeks!

I can't believe how fast these past few weeks/months have gone! You are going to be here before we know it! We had your 24 week doctor's appointment and everything is great! The past few weeks have been amazing as I have really started to feel you moving about. You are SO active and think "playtime" is about 2 am each morning. Your dad and I lay in bed sometimes and just watch you go to town punching and kicking away. It is the coolest feeling. I can't wait to kiss those little feet and hands! My baby shower is this weekend and I am looking forward to seeing lots of family and friends that have come together to celebrate you. :) I am also looking forward to introducing you to some Baby Cakes cupcakes. Delish! I am sure you will be doing lots of flips after I have a few of those. I will be taking lots of pictures at the shower so I can show you someday. I have one more 4 week appointment and then I will start going every 2 weeks because I will be in my third trimester. Winter will set in and you are going to be here before we know it! We are really starting to get your room ready. We have bought the paint for your room and your aunt Hayley is going to help me decorate the letters in your name so we can hang those in your nursery. Crib/furniture ordered, bedding ordered, now all we need is YOU!!! Love you Reid!
