Showered with gifts

My baby shower was on Saturday. It was amazing. Thank you so much Amanda and Marsha for all your hardwork putting everything together. I love all the wonderful gifts! It is super exciting celebrating with everyone. Here are a few pics of the loot.

This is a diaper bag with Graham monogrammed on it. You can't really see the name in this pic but it is cute!

I had this saying hanging in my room as a baby. It is call Babies Don't Keep. My sister had it recreated for us to hang in Graham's room. It goes like this...

Babies Don't Keep

Cleaning and scrubbing can wait

'till tomorrow

For babies grow up we've learned

to our sorrow

So quiet down cobwebs;

Dust go to sleep-

I'm rocking my baby

And babies don't keep!

Here are a fews pics of the hotesses and my mom and sister.

We missed everyone that couldn't make it!

Celebrate

Chris turned 31 today. Happy Brithday, Daddy!

We went out to dinner at Scalini's to celebrate. I ate mostly garlic rolls. They are the best! We spent most of dinner discussing what we thought Baby Graham was going to look like and which one of us he would be most like. We both agree on lots of dark hair but we have no idea about the rest. Time is going by so fast. We get more and more excited about Graham's arrival everyday. It's not too far away. I am 29 weeks today. Only 11 weeks to go.

Sugar

I passed my glucose test. No gestational diabetes for me. Woot!

Name Game

Chris and I have been discussing names since before we found out I was pregnant. We have finally come to a consensus on Bambino's name. Graham was Chris' grandfather's middle name and Edwards was my maiden name. So he will be Graham Edward.

Now I will have to come up with a new header for the blog. He is no longer Bambino.

First Labor and Delivery Visit

Unfortunately I had to go to labor and delivery this afternoon. A lady ran the red light and hit me on the back driver's side of the car. She hit me hard enough to spin me around in the intersection. I was scared to death. I felt ok but called my Dr. to make sure everything was ok. They told me to come in for monitoring.

We spent about 4 hours in labor and delivery. They monitored Bambino's heartrate, which they couldn't find at first. That feaked both Chris and I out. Once the nurse found the heartbeat it sounded good and strong but he kept moving around. The nurse had to move the monitors several times to keep up with him. No contractions were detected which was great news! I will be spending the next few days just relaxing and letting Chris wait on me hand and foot:) I really hope I don't have to go back to L&D before this little guy has finished baking.

Baby's New Ride

The parents and students in my class threw me surprise baby shower on Tuesday. It was truly special. The kids drew pictures of what they thought the baby would look like and made predictions about how much he would weigh and what we might name him. The scrapbook was great!

Baby Reker got a great new ride... the Bob Revolution stroller. It is an amazing jogging stroller. I was so excited!

I am so thankful for all my wonderful students and parents!

Ultrasound Pictures

Here is how the Bambino has grown.

8 Weeks- you can't really tell there is anything there.

13 weeks- you can make out a baby.

21 weeks- Baby Boy! I love the profile.
