Week 24: Shower Shindig

This Saturday, some of my best college friends threw a beautiful baby shower for me in Dallas. It was just perfect … a patio brunch get together with beautiful, wonderful and sweet friends. The May heat stayed at bay with the help of a cool breeze and the sun was shining all afternoon. As I looked around, I thought gosh … I’m so lucky to have the family and friends that I have—and not only am I lucky, but this wonderful little meatball growing inside of me is too; he’s already so loved and so wanted, and nobody’s even met him! It’s really amazing how that happens. My Mom and I stayed with my friend Megan (her home is becoming more like Hotel Megan as much as I’ve been up there lately!) and enjoyed a relaxing Saturday evening of pizza and movies and drove home on Sunday in time for a Mother’s Day celebration at my parent’s house. I could really get used to this Mother’s Day thing … thanks to my thoughtful husband; I’ll be enjoying the gift of a prenatal massage from Bergamos very soon!!! And not only that, I came home to new carpet in the nursery, the crib put together, the new chandelier hung in the dining room and our disappearing fountain in the garden all FINISHED!!! Thank you honey, you are truly the best 

Weekly Womb Workings:

This week, Rob weighs a little more than a pound and a half and is about 8.5 inches long (crown to rump). His tiny little face is fully formed so hopefully in a few weeks when we go for the 4D ultra sound, we’ll be able to tell what he looks like! His skin is still very thin and transparent and will continue to be that way until he accumulates fat under the skin. I just love chubby cheeks, don’t you?! Hopefully he’ll have them soon, he’s expected to gain weight at a rate of 6 ounces per week now.
