This post is a little late. The weekend before last myself and my friend Tara headed up to North East for the baby festivities. Robin, Justin's Mom and Justin also flew up to PA.
My Mom and Robin did an awesome job with the shower. We had it at Meeders Restaurant in Ripely, NY. The morning of the shower went by so fast! We had breakfast and played a couple games, "guess the baby food" and "guess the size of the belly". I think everyone just smelled the baby food, instead on double dipping the spoons :)
I'm very grateful for all my family and friends that came out for the shower. We got so many great gifts! The car was packed on the way back to NC. We could not see out of the back windows! Now it's time to set up the nursery!
These are my cousins, Dusty and Kodie. They grew up really fast! I remember taking them to the movies to see Jurassic Park when they were really little.
The diaper party turned out great! Between the shower and party we got about 1000 diapers! Aunt Brenda had the party at her house in Westfield, NY.
Awww...Mom and Paul, sitting in a seat from a car, but not in a car. Paul loved Justin's luau shirt so much that we gave it to him as a gift. He wears it well!
Here are Justin's Mom and my Mom wearing adult diapers. They seem very comfortable in them.
Time to slip n slide in diapers! These are my brothers, Jamie and Josh before their diapers got soaked and soggy!
Justin spent quite a bit of time with Uncle Gary. Uncle Gary was telling very interesting stories about his tattoos, war, and love.
The weather was perfect and the weekend was so much fun! These pictures are from the cliffs in Ripley, NY. Myself, Justin, Tara, and Josh went to the cliffs to watch the sunset. There is a trail to get back to this spot. It was a little rough, because it was muddy and I'm a little off balance. I managed to not fall down, but Justin did wipe out in the mud on the walk back, haha.
This weekend we're heading to PA for my baby shower and diaper party. My brothers are in charge of the diaper party, as you can tell by the flyer. (Justin and I do not drink at all, ever.)
It should be a fun and interesting weekend!
Today I had a check up. Everything looks good. His heartbeat was 145 beats per minute. My stomach is the right size. So, four more weeks until my next appt.
A couple days ago I finally had to take out my navel jewelry. My belly is just too damn big. It's not that I really cared to have it or was into the way it looked, it's just that I've had it for over ten years and it feels and looks weird not having it. My belly button is pretty deep. I wonder when it's going to turn inside out?
This past weekend we stayed in Burnsville, right outside of Asheville, NC. Justin's Mom and her husband have a little mountain house that we stay at. It was so nice to relax and not have a to-do-list. On saturday we went into Asheville to eat and walk around. The weather was perfect! I think it was around 78 degrees and breezy. It was a much needed break from the brutal Charlotte tempatures! Saturday night Justin built a fire and we cooked fake Chicken over the fire and made smores :)
Bateman had a great time! Even though we can't let him run loose outside, he still loves to explore and poop in new places.
On the 4th of July we spent 3 hours registering at Babies R Us! And, there are still a hand full of items that we need to add to our Target and Walmart registrys! Justin was very indecisive and was worried about picking the wrong things, ha. He also was very concerned about patterns and such.
This is a "Weeblock". We picked a couple of these. I'd rather not get pee in my eye.
We didn't see any fireworks this year. Instead we went to see a movie, "Away We Go". It was so cute and funny. It's about a couple pregnant with their first baby, traveling around to figure out where they should settle down. I highly recommend this
movie :)
