Katie at 33 Weeks (Another baby shower and a new car!)


Standing outside my new car!



I swear I must have the best friends, family and husband in the world! This week was a little crazy as we've been car shopping. I love my little Saturn but two-door coupes aren't user-friendly for car seats and babies! So Scott and I kept searching and found nothing we really liked. Then we test drove this really cool fully loaded black Nissan Altima and we loved it! After discussing it a little further we decided it was probably a little much for us and we didn't need all those options. Turns out Scott must think I deserve something nice after what I've been through and he went back and bought the car the next day and totally surprised the heck out of me! He lied and told me he was going to the Saturn dealership to see how much they would give us and instead he went and got a great deal on the Nissan, drove it right to the front door of my office and called me to come down. It was so awesome. I was shocked to say the least. I literally started crying! I absolutely adore the car! THANK YOU SCOTT!!!!

Then, as if that weren't enough to give someone a great week ... the Kenney Family threw me a shower! THANK YOU Michelle, Michelle, Melinda, Marilyn and Mom for an awesome day! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME AND BROUGHT OR SENT SUCH ADORABLE GIFTS! WE ARE SO GRATEFUL!

The shower was so much fun, had the best food and cute decorations. It was so nice to spend time with the family! THANK YOU KENNEY'S!

I am definitely feeling the aches and pains of pregnancy but with so many people to celebrate with and such great gifts, you won't find me complaining! Beckton is moving around a lot in there. He doesn't kick all that often he just seems to change position a lot. Most of the time it's fine but every once and a while it's uncomfortable. Hopefully he is enjoying his time in there because he doesn't have much time left!

He came after the shower - the Bud Light can is his!
Well, Birthing Classes are underway and going well. I'm feeling alright, pretty tired due to my getting up to go to the restroom every hour on the hour (even during the night!)
Big news this week ... we had our ultrasound and they say Beckton is doing great! We've had some scares in the past but this time everything measured up accurately. Our little guy is currently 3.8 pounds and in the 25th percentile, they say he won't get very big. Fine by me! As long as he is big enough right? We got another DVD of the ultrasound and this time we got to see his mouth moving all around as he shoved his fist inside. It was too cute!

More big news from the week obvious from the pictures, my first baby shower!
THANK YOU TO MARISA, RACHEL, LAURA, & AMBER for hosting such a fun shower! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO COULD COME SPEND THE DAY WITH US ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT TRAVELED FROM AFAR LIKE MY MIAMI GIRLS!
THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THE WONDERFUL GIFTS!
EVEN IF YOU COULDN'T MAKE THE SHOWER WE KNOW YOU WERE
THERE IN SPIRIT BY ALL OF THE WELL WISHES AND
WONDERFUL THINGS WE RECEIVED!

The final big news from the week ... the baby room is finished being painted! My wonderful husband did the first 4 coats and my wonderful Mom finished the last one! The color is just what we were hoping for and it's a relief to have it done! THANK YOU SCOTT AND MOM!
