Diaper Pounding!

Our wonderful church family from Boise Friends Church threw a diaper pounding for us on Friday, November 30th. Basically it is a baby shower but everyone brings diapers as gifts. We had a wonderful time and got lots and lots and lots of diapers. We now have 3/4 of our hall closet, plus one of the cupboards in our guest bathroom full of diapers. We are so blessed and thankful to have such a giving, caring church family to bring our little one into. She is going to have lots of wonderful church friends and church grandma's and grandpa's to love her.

Our Picture Page

If you ever feel like checking out more of the maternity pictures that we took...or looking at any of the other thousands of pictures we have on our picture site, you can see them all at aaronandcarrie.shutterfly.com. I am also going to post a link to this site over in the right hand column so it's easily available at all times. Enjoy, but I must warn you, there are probably thousands of pictures to look at.

Maternity Pictures

Over the Thanksgiving weekend, Aaron and I found some time to take some maternity pics. We had a lot of fun doing them, Aaron made sure of that!

The Shower

We had our baby shower on Saturday and it was wonderful. Brenda and Tami and mom did a great job planning it. I got to see several friends that I haven't seen in quite some time....although I wish I would have had more time to catch up with them, there was just too much going on. Eva got tons and tons of clothes. Her drawers and half her closet were already full before the shower (with lots of great hand me downs) and so now I am trying to reorganize and figure out how to fit everything in what space we have. She has a wardrobe that could compete with anyone's. We definitely are not going to have to buy clothes for a very long time. We slowly but surely are getting ready for this little girl to come. I can't believe we have less than 2 months now.

And here are just a few of the cute clothes that Eva got.

And finally, what is a baby shower without some babies.

And although he is not quite a baby anymore....I still had to include the pic.

Progress on Eva's nursery

I finally finished the letters for Eva's nursery and hung them up. (Oh, if you didn't already know, we decided on the name Eva Grace). And I hung up her little toy bag. It's not much, but it's something. Her nursery is slowly but surely coming together.

30 week belly pic

Here I am at 30 weeks. Just 10 weeks to go. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. Aaron compared it to procrastinating studying for an exam and then realizing that the exam is tomorrow morning. We are starting to get that "oh crap" feeling....we still have so much to do and it seems so little time to do it in.

Everything's swell

I was just thinking that it had been quite a while since I have posted anything so I thought I would just give a short update. I just passed my glucose test which is great because I was a little worried about that. But, my iron levels are low and I have to start taking iron supplements....I am not too excited about this but it's better than having GD (gestational diabetes). Besides that, everything has been going really well. My tummy is starting to get in the way a little bit. I seem to have a little trouble tying my shoes now. And I can't squeeze by small spaces like I used to. :-)
