31 weeks!

Well we're getting there! Sorry it's taken so long to update. Although you all should be used to it by now :) I had a great time in California! It was BEAUTIFUL! 70 degrees almost each day and crystal clear! The shower was amazing. My mom and sisters did a great job as usual. It was so fun and I think everyone had a great time.

Jensen is a very blessed little girl. She was spoiled rotten at the shower! We have so much stuff and NO FURNITURE! They say it should be here next week, but then I called and they said it may be a few weeks late! I don't know if I can take it! I have piles of things in the closet and all around the room. Oh well, it will get done right? As long as we make our April 1 deadline we'll be fine.

Speaking of the nursery here is a picture of the paint and chair rail:



Marc did a great job with the paint and everything. The chair rail is amazing and looks professionally done. The best part is there were no major injuries to either Sean or Marc so we were happy with it over all.

Here are a few pictures from the shower. I don't have any real belly pictures but I'll post some later this week so you can see how ginormous I am. Yes I get bigger and bigger by the minute. Jensen is over 3 lbs. and about 16 inches long. She's moving all the time now. I can watch my belly for hours as it jumps and bumps around. She has the hiccups about four times a day which aren't so bad now. It's the rolling, kicking, and need to give mommy constant heart burn that is starting to get old. But alas, I'm trying not to think too much about it. On one hand we could be done with this in 7 weeks...on the other hand it could be 10. So I'm putting myself in a happy place. I like to think that the heart burn and tums I eat all day long are good for me. The swelling of my hands and need to keep my engagement ring in my jewelry box is just a fashion statement. The fact that I have a hard time getting off the couch or comfortable when trying to read my book are just funny little routines I like to pull so Marc gets me water and does the dishes.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!

Anyway, here are a few pics from the shower:

A special thank you to everyone who joined us in California for Jensen's shower. We had a wonderful time and we are so happy and blessed to have such a wonderful support system!

29 weeks 1 day...75 days to go!

Greetings from California!

I'm sitting outside in the 70 degree afternoon working and relaxing. Ah, so nice! Things are going good. I'm feeling fine, although with all this running around I'm doing down here I'm getting tired! Oh well, it's worth it. I got in last Friday to attend a wedding on Saturday. The wedding was great (although sober weddings are never as much fun as ones you can drink at!). Now I'm just working in the office and helping mom get ready for the shower. Marc is driving in on Friday. Poor guy! But he'll do anything for Baby J I think :)

Our 3D ultrasound was very cool although our little angel was rather stubborn! She did NOT want to move her hand from her face. She was being very shy...and mom just wanted to reach in there and move it out of the way! But we did get some shots of her, so it wasn't a total loss. Maybe she's just relishing her privacy while she can because once she's born I think she'll have a camera in her face at all times!

Here are some pictures from the ultrasound. Unfortunately a lot of them are the same. But still cool! I'll update you all next week about the showers I'm having down here. My boss is also throwing me a work shower on Wednesday and is flying up from Orange County just for the day! It's so sweet! We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives! (Yes that includes you!)

Anyway, enjoy Baby J's first photos...in a few months you're going to start deleting my emails with photos of her I'm sure! ha ha!
