Spur of the moment...

My friend Tanya just had an adorable baby boy two weeks ago. Last Saturday she came over for a visit and I couldn't resist taking (my first!!) newborn pictures.

He is just so precious!

Six month mark and baby shower

Jessica is now six months pregnant!!!!! March can't get here soon enough, I am so excited to be an auntie again!! Everyone else is equally excited for the arrival of baby Ella and that was surely evident at the baby shower on Sunday. About 95 people gathered to shower mom and baby with lots of gifts and love.

They are certainly ready for the baby now!! They received lots of gifts and received about 98% of everything one needs to care for a baby!

POTD (photo of the day)

Sorry the quality of these pics is pretty bad, I saved them from facebook and it made the pics sort of grainy.

The weekly theme the first week was 'shoes', I missed it last week, but I made sure to get a picture of my shoes on day 9. You'll find a little peek into one of my drawers in the scrapbook room on day 8. I was actually in there last week making some stuff for the baby shower.

Day 10/365.....feeding the birds on my walk, they are so tame and cute!

Day 11/365.....my uncle blain and aunt angela and their two year old Gracelyn were up visiting for the weekend. Here is Gracelyn roasting marshmallows in front of the fake fire...too cute!

Day 12/365.....Jessica hit the six months pregnant mark on Sunday and it was actually the day of her baby shower.

Day 13/365.....Jamie started finishing the basement on Saturday, so I was down there helping him out yesterday (I actually built a wall!). Here is just a mess of extension cords that was on the floor.

23 1/2 weeks

I felt baby Ella move today!! SO COOL!!!!!! Jessica is due March 2nd, so there is still a lot of waiting to do!! I can't wait to become an Auntie again!

We are throwing Jess a baby shower on Sunday, I will be sure to update the blog with lots of pics and details!!!!!!!!
