A Fabulous Day!

Thank you to all my friends and family for a fabulous baby shower this past Saturday. It was absolutely wonderful and I appreciate all of the thought, effort and love that went into planning it. My dad and I were laughing because you don't hear about many baby showers being held at a brewery but it couldn't have been a more perfect place. The Kona Brewing Company was where our wedding rehearsal dinner was held and it was so nice to be there to celebrate baby Joseph. Plus, I loved that a few of the girls had a few beers! We're into single digits now...less than 9 weeks to go! Thank you to all of these special girls and to all of my girlfriends and family on the mainland as well!

And yes, my boobs are huge and I love them! Ha ha ha!

Starting a Baby Chain

Did you ever make the countdown to Christmas chains when you were younger? Rich said this weekend he is ready to make one now for our countdown! I was 30 weeks this past weekend so ten more to go...almost to single digits! Yeah! And we know he won't be late since I'll be induced before my due date because of the gestational diabetes (if he doesn't come by then) so we definitely have less than 10 to go. Can't wait! Here is a picture of me at 29 weeks. I didn't get one this past weekend-was at Kailua all day on Sunday with Laura and even though I am still wearing a bikini I didn't really want a picture documenting it all.

P.S.-We have definitely decided to call him Joseph (his middle name)...or Baby Joe Joe as Uncle Mark calls him or of course Li'l Nugget as Uncle Brian calls him :)

There's Something in the Water

Between April 2010 and December 2010 there are going to be 6 new babies in our group of girlfriends here in Hawaii. I also have four other fabulous friends who are on the mainland who are having babies during this time frame as well. There is definitely something in the water! I am so grateful to all of my girlfriends (pregnant now or not) who have given me advice, support and lots of love during this time. Definitely looking forward to the years to come filled with birthday parties, sporting events (specifically football games and wrestling matches according to Rich), and all of the other things that we'll go through together (whether near or far!)

Here is a picture of Steph (due September 10th), Jenn (due November 16th) and me (due November 28th) at our pool this past weekend!
