Well, we are getting down to the wire…finally. Tomorrow we are officially 37 weeks and what that means is Baby showers! My sister and mom threw me a baby shower last weekend for some family and friends and then this weekend Lindsey Williamson threw Samm and I a joint diaper and wipes shower that a lot of the Campus Outreach staff and some students came to. They were both so fun.
Last weekend I was blessed to have a lot of my family from Wisconsin come into town to celebrate with me. It was so great to see family and friends that I don’t generally get to see that often.
My sister and mom did an amazing job baking and cooking for the party. We are still awaiting some pictures of the three of us. I think my sister has them (hint-hint, Stef).
Then yesterday we were over at the Williamson’s. This is a picture of a diaper cake that Lindsey made. It was the cutest thing ever. The whole thing was made of diapers and ribbon. Lindsey is gifted with fanciness 
Here is a picture of most of the people that were at the shower. I think that Samm and I are set for a little while at least with diapers and wipes. However, we did just find out that you go through around 10 ish diapers a day! Which means that you would go through 70 in a week. Which means that a pack of 44 or whatever it is they give you, which at first seems like a ton is not really. That will only last you 4-5 days! Yikes.
Here is our hostess with Ellie Jane. So weird that she is already 2 months old. She is just starting to get on to a sleeping routine and was able to sleep all the way through our party. What a good little girl. Hopefully Maddux and Annie will take lessons
Pregnancy updates:
Samm is still on partial bed rest so that she doesn’t go into pre-term labor, but it is getting to the point now where it would be ok for her to deliver. She is feeling good, just restricted in what she is allowed to do and how much she moves around. It is looking like little Maddux will probably be born before Annie!
I just went to the doc a few days ago and besides a few more nagging last month pregnancy symptoms am progressing well. I am praying that I will not get my hopes up to deliver much (if at all) before my due date (Oct. 27-which would be nice) but am trying to anticipate a long last month. I hear that this is more the norm the first pregnancy anyways.
All in all, doing fine but very much feeling that I am in the last month. I will be very grateful when Annie has come.
