A Baby Shower!

Clarissa put on a beautiful Dr Seuss themed Shower for us! We had lots of great food, some very interesting games (like me having to hold a baby doll, talk to Mike on the phone and hang wet towels... I think I did pretty good :)), and lots of beautiful gifts! Babies sure need a lot of stuff - but with about a month to go we're getting down to the final preparations - so much fun!!

A month of Birthdays

Wow so October has come and gone very quickly. The dark mornings were starting to get very icky so it was nice this morning that 5:45 wasn't pitch black :)
In baby news - we have a little less than 2 months to go!! Besides feeling like I can hardly move or breath things are good :) Have had some high BP though and my Dr decided it would be best for me to be home resting, not at work, so as of today I'm out of work until well after the baby's born. Wasn't quite expecting this, but my boss has been fantastic and I'm so relieved to not have that extra stress right now - can rest up and hopefully even get the house in working order...maybe :) We've (meaning Mike) started working on the nursery - I'll post pics soon.

We have a lot of October Birthdays in our family...first it was Clarissa's 24th.


Then Bronson's 30th



On the 29th, Heidi turned 15!!
