32 weeks!

Hey family and friends! I can't believe it but it's finally summer break and I am so excited to start preparing for this little baby! The majority of my friends and family are vacationing over the break but I am completely happy just staying home and finally getting some things accomplished. The last couple of weeks have been pretty busy which is why I haven't posted in awhile. My mom came out last week and it was nice to take her to some of her favorite spots! We went to dinner at a place called Hurricane Grill and my mom loves the music and outdoor spring heat. It was a fun time. Here are some pics from that night...bran was the photographer apparently this time around!

The girl in the top picture(Danielle), my mom, and my friend Susan set up a little shower in Arizona for me with my close teaching friends! It was so nice being able to celebrate baby Sev with all these ladies! I feel like I spend most of my life at work so spending time with work friends and having their support means so much to me! Here are a couple pics from the shower! It was also so nice having my close friend Vicki here from Boston!! So happy she flew out for the festivities :) So happy my mom flew out too...I'm a lucky girl!

Teacher's everywhere!

Admiring the present Vicki got baby Sev!

I had a doctor appointment on Friday and everything is going smoothly with the pregnancy. I was measuring a little small this time around but my blood pressure and everything is great! I can't believe how much weight I've gained with this pregnancy! Sometimes I look in the mirror and laugh at my new body.....it's completely different now than it was before! I wonder if things will go back to normal after baby or not? 


Yesterday and today were my first days off work and I was actually a little productive. I washed all the babies newborn and 0-3 month clothes and organized his room a little bit. Brandon laughs at me because some nights I just sit in there and play :) There's something so peaceful about being in his little nursery! Brandon also helped me put up the window sham and curtains today which made me so excited. I feel like things are finally coming together. I also started sewing again today for the first time in forever. I'll post some pictures of my little projects later this week. Here is a picture of the nursery for those of you who haven't seen the stripes Bran painted or the colors! I'd say it's about 50% done now..still lots more work to do!

Cutest laundry I've ever done

As a finale to the blog tonight I will leave you a funny picture of Rocco (He looks asian!) and a funny but sad picture of me. Walking into the video store today the guy at the register says to me "You're still pregnant? Isn't it summer? seems like you've been pregnant forever" I just glared at him and said "yeah I know" lol....I guess this is the final stretch and I should appreciate my large thighs, belly, his feet in my ribs, but I am getting pretty excited for this little guys arrival. Have a great week everyone!
