7 MONTHS!!!!

I can't believe I'm already seven months. Check out that polished belly! "She's" all lubbed up for the BIG pic. I've gained another 5 lbs since my last doc appointment. Belly measured 28 centimeters, and Ryan's heartbeat was in the 150s. When the doc was looking for his heartbeat, he kept moving around as though he was dodging her doppler machine. I think all the movement was from the sugar drink I had just thrown down in 30 seconds flat for my Glucose Tolerance Test. Proud to say that I haven't lost my drinking capabilities!!

I'm feeling pretty good for the most part. I LOVE to feel Ryan moving around, and enjoy a boxing match...alone. Poor kid doesn't realize he's competing against himself. :) So, I as his mother, have decided to punch back at him. Rod and I are quite entertained when we watch my belly move around like the old school Jiffy Pop popcorn bag that you had to shake over the stove top. Was it even called Jiffy Pop?!

Well, enjoy the 7 month pic. So far, I've gained a total of 19 lbs, and feeling every ounce of it.

Love to you all!!!

SURPRISE Baby Shower!!!

First, let me say Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Ryan had his very first party thrown for him...okay, me too! The wonderful people at my work surprised Ryan and I with the cutest, most loving baby shower. Another surprise, my mom was there too!!

Below are the pics of the fun day. My friends did an awesome job at keeping this quiet. You may not recognize me in the pics...I'm the big balloon in maroon. NOTE: Extreme excitement from the men.

GIVE ME ICE CREAM....NOW!

Rod and I took a little trip to Dairy Queen after buying a piece of furniture. We had buyers remorse, so ice cream was a necessity!

Rod felt it would be funny to take a picture of me, knocked up, eating ice cream. What you can't see... 20 high school girls and boys all flirting together in the DQ. I thought it would be fun to go up to them, point to my stomach and say, "Is this what you want? Are you ready for this? Keep your pants on." Rod felt it best to keep my hormonal mouth shut. :)

My Precious Little Nieces!

Here are two of the joys in my life!
