36 Weeks!

36 weeks today and the countdown is on! I had a check up yesterday and Mr. Brennon had finally decided to turn, head down- halleluiah! Everything else is great; my blood pressure, his heart rate, and we’re still measuring right on target. However, this little man is in absolutely no hurry to get out… no dilatation and no thinning of the cervix. :o( So, we wait...

Our house however is 100% baby ready, I think... We recently went and picked up the remaining needs for the baby, and let me just tell you, babies need a lot of stuff! This may come as a shock to some of you, but I have become quite the coupon collector. Yesterday we saved $95 at Babies R’ Us, thanks to my coupons! Also a HUGE THANK YOU to my Head Start friends, we bought our pack and play with the gift card from you all!

I would include actual photos, but we sold our cameras in anticipation of this…

Isn’t she beautiful?!? I’m so excited to have a camera of this caliber!

Anyhow, we currently have a play yard, travel system, bouncy chair, and swing all in our living room. Tomorrow we’re doing a small closet overhaul to add more storage and hopefully be able to actually put things away!

Baby Shower and Dad's Day!

We had our second baby shower last Saturday, June 19th. My Aunt Leslie and Bridget, Mother-in-Law, graciously hosted another shower for us in St. Joe. This location was more convenient for the majority of our families and we had a Sussical time!

Lisa, my Step-Mom and my Sister, Annelise had Dr. Seuss cupcakes made that were adorable and delicious. Annelise also found some baby shower games that I had never played before. The pictures below are of Play-Doh babies that everyone constructed and then I had to pick my favorite. (Please ignore the hamster with the mohawk, thank you Conner...)

Play-doh Baby WINNER!

My cousin Emmy made this adorable diaper wreath for us. It had blankets, bottles, spoons and bibs attached. I love new and creative ideas and this was one for sure! The tag even said “Made with Luvs!” TOO CUTE!

Overall, the day was amazing. Let me just say, Mr. Brennon is a super spoiled little man! At this point, I’m not sure that there are any baby boy clothes in Northwest Missouri, which this child doesn’t have. We are so thankful and appreciative to everyone who loves our Little Peanut already! :o)

After the shower, we went out for a Father’s Day family dinner at Whiskey Creek.

We're pretty adorable.

I'm not really sure what to call this...

We are lucky enough to be able to say that Brennon is going to have 2 AMAZING Grandpas! My Daddy and my Father-in-Law are honest, respectable and hardworking men that we are proud to have in our family. Brennon will be able to learn all things manly, and more than I even want to know about, from both of them. Although Justin doesn’t think that Father’s Day applies to him yet, I think he’s pretty amazing.
