28 week belly shot
We had our first baby shower on April 4th. It was given by my mom and sisters. We are so blessed by our friends and family! It's so sweet for so many people to help us celebrate this gift God has given us!

The creative spread my mom and sisters prepared. The theme was bow ties! So, there was cheese and crackers with the cheese cut into bow tie shapes, mini bow tie sugar cookies, chicken salad sandwiches, veggie pizza, bow tie pasta, make your own bow tie fruit pizzas, along with homeade peanut butter cups!
Fruit infused teas in mason jars, with bow ties around each one
Then on April 5th, my coworker friends took me to lunch at the Webster House and showered us with more blessings! It was such a nice lunch, with fun games and of course, cake!
Last week we went on a "babymoon" to Breckenridge, CO. We flew to Denver last Wednesday and finally got there after sitting at KCI for 7 hours & boarding and deboarding the plane 4 different times due to security problems and weather delays in Denver. They got a late snowstorm and weren't accepting any incoming flights. After we arrived, we got our rental car and attempted to drive to Breckenridge. Because of the delay, we were driving through Denver at rush hour and it was snowing. The roads were getting worse and worse after we'd been in the car for a couple of hours. We finally decided we should give up and stop for the night. The roads were getting very slick, curvy and steep as we drove around the mountains. So, we stopped in Evergreen, CO for the night and ordered in a pizza. The next morning we completed our drive and once we saw how curvy and steep the rest of the trip was, we knew we'd made the right decision to not attempt that the night before. Thursday morning the sun was shining and the roads were much better. We had a relaxing several days where we didn't do a whole lot! It was great just to enjoy the snow, mountains and each other. They did reopen some of the slopes because of the late snow. We took a gondola ride up to watch the skiers and snowboards one day. Other than that we just did alot of eating :) We came home on Sunday night. Our crib did arrive, but we picked it up a couple days before we went out of town. So, we haven't been able to put it together yet, so you'll have to wait until the next post for pictures of the nursery.
Today we went for our monthly growth scan at the perinatologist. We also had our first biophysical scan at the same time. Because of my blood clotting disorder we have to have that scan done weekly from here on out. So, I'll be spending alot of time at the Drs offices! Everything looked great on the scans today. He is growing and developing just like he should. The sono projected his weight at 3lbs and 5oz, which puts him in the 48%, right where they want him. We always love to see his sweet little face.
