Now THIS is a belly!! 38 weeks 1 day 7/13/08.

 

It's official...I've made up for all those months I wasn't showing! I've got quite the belly now and even have a little prego waddle. Tomorrow we have an appointment to find out if we've made anymore progress from last week. Our doctor goes on vacation on Thursday so we're hoping for baby before that! Otherwise...she needs to hold tight 'til next Tuesday when doc is back in town! If only it were that easy..ha:)

Baby Shower thrown by Grandma Tees 3/12/08!

 

 

 

 

What a perfect afternoon! Grandma Tees had wonderful food and yummy cheesecake for everyone. She gave Papa a special gift box of some of his baby items and some pink clothes that were given to her for Brian before they knew he was a boy! She swears he never wore them...ha! She also made a very special quilt for our little sweet pea which is now on the crib. Nana Paola won the "left/right" game and Sarah whipped all our butts at unscrambling baby words! It was a perfect afternoon with family and friends. Thank you Grandma Tees.

Progress at 37 weeks 3 days!

Our last doctor visit was this past Tuesday(37 weeks and 3 days pregnant) and we have progress! I was 1cm dilated, 80% effaced, and baby is -1 station. It was all Greek to us but basically the doctor thinks our sweet pea will be early! She assured us that this is all great news and our next appointment is this coming Tuesday so we'll see if she's made anymore attempt to come a little early:) The doctor actually said "Oh this is going to be a great delivery"...not sure how she knows that but lets hope she's right. We have our hospital bags all ready to go. Wish us luck!!!

***4th of July weekend****

We had a great 4th of July weekend. We spent the 4th with our good friends Kelly and Ryan at their new house in Redondo Beach and watched fireworks from their living room! The took us on some crazy 2 hour walk up and down hill which proved very challenging for the mommy-to-be but I made it(a lot of sweating was involved). On the 5th we had lunch with Christy who was visiting from New York and Julie and Greg drove up from San Diego with their beautiful baby Andrew.

Becomming Domestic at 37 weeks pregnant(July 3)!

Here is me "nesting" as they say. I made a few pies for the 4th of July festivities while Daddy Tees built sweetpeas crib. We have finished her nursery now we're just waiting on her arrival.

34 weeks pregnant!

Visiting nana and papa Paola in Simi Valley. It was 110 this day and sweetpea was not excited about it!

Friends and Family Shower at Los Hills Country Club 6/1/08

 

 

 

 

We had such an amazing time at our "guys and gals" shower! We are so blessed with such wonderful friends and family surrouding us and supporting us during this time. Nana Paola planned the perfect party outfitted with the most amazing cupcakes as centerpieces(the chocolate/chocolate being the favorite for both Brian and I) I think our lil' peanut will be a chocoholic if she's anything like her parents!!! The food was delightful and the deliciously pink decorations brought it all together(especially the "baby Tees" M&M's"!!)
It meant so much to both of us to have so many of those close to us celebrate in honor of our lil' sweet pea. Brandon and Claire drove straight from a weekend in Vegas and Jeff and Jamie were fresh off the plane from Cabo!! Grandpa Tees won the "napkin" game of guessing the answers most similar to the mommy to be! Nana Paola made the most adorable "diaper cake"(picture above). Miss Kelly Gordon won the final(and best in my opinion) prize of the day, homemade cookies from Nana Paola! All and all the day was beyond perfect! Just 8 more weeks and we'll get to meet our guest of honor:)
