Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Bob and I have so much to be thankful for this year. We have been blessed with amazing friends and family that love us, a little boy on the way, our jobs, our health and so much more. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
So much has happened in the past week which is baby related. Last Saturday, the baby activities started off by with me attending my friend Kim's baby shower which was really nice. She's due three weeks before me and it's been a lot of fun going through this experience with her :) It was also very exciting to see all of the great stuff that she got for baby Tyler. I can't wait for our boys to grow up so close in age!
On Sunday, we had our first baby shower thrown by Sue & Angie Smitka at Sajo's in Roseville which was great. It was nice to see a lot of people we don't see on an everyday basis and I couldn't believe all of the wonderful gifts we received at the shower. It was so fun to come home and play with all the new "toys". Thank you to everyone for such a great shower and for all our wonderful gifts, we really appreciate it! Here are a few pictures from the shower-
On Monday, we had our 30 week appointment and an extra ultrasound because the little guy was facing the other way and they wanted to check on a few things just to be sure. They said he is about 3 pds 11 ounces already....so hard to believe that I weighed that much when I was born!! I was also able to get a new 3D picture and you can tell that he has grown quite a bit since our last appt. at 26 weeks.
I feel like within the last week or week and a half that I have gotten huge. I'm sure that all of this eating over Thanksgiving isn't helping either. Hopefully that will all slow down a little. I am still feeling really good other than some discomfort when standing or walking too much. I was supposed to have the whole week off to get stuff done around the house and relax but we have so much work that I was barely able to take just Wednesday off. I was assigned to manage a huge hiring project for Kellogg's and it all just hit last week which meant a lot of things needed to be done. I only checked my work email once on Wednesday and don't even plan on thinking about work again till Sunday sometime.
Steve, my brother in law created a template for us to draw out the argyle pattern on one of the walls in the baby's room and we actually started painting half of the diamonds green which looks great. We may just paint the remaining diamonds white and forget the stitching because I'm worried we will mess up our hard work. Seriously, where do I come up with these ideas?? I was asking Bob that earlier today as we were free-hand painting and I actually admitted to being crazy......hopefully it looks awesome when its all done. I should have pictures posted of the finished product by end of this weekend. It's all starting to come together :)
Oh the other big news is that we finally agreed on a name for the little guy......Colin Alexander Smitka.
Check out this baby countdown....it's kind of scary that we are basically in the home stretch!!! Holy crap this is really happening is what I keep thinking to myself!
