The Big Day Arrives At Last!

All systems go! In the final hours awaiting Gavin's arrival.

How big I am

I can not believe I thought I was big at 15 weeks!! Look at me now!! Almost 35 weeks and into the final stretch!! How amazing!!! Jason recently said my stomache is bigger than my head - I hope my head is not this big!!

More shower pics

Here are some other pictures I did not post from the shower! People really did like those martinis!! What an awesome night this was!!!

Baby Shower Dec 2008

I can't believe that I have already had my showers and I am going into the final stretch. Becky threw me a "wedding reception" - not really a shower. The martini bar was a definate hit and it seemed like everyone ( like all 29 people) had a really fun time. It was really special seeing how many people are truly in my life and how amazing they all are!!! Friends and family have been so kind and so generous. Gavin is going to have lots of love - that is for sure. I am so gland mom and Karen could meet so many people that are special to me!! I missed having my other 2 sisters there though.

Becky certainly outdid herself and planned the party of the "century". She is truly amazing and has been throughout this entire process. She has brought me so much joy in my life and this experience is no different. She has shared so much of this with me and helped with so much and I am forever grateful for our friendship and her love. THANKS BECK!!!

I only have about 5 more weeks and I can finally say that I think I am really ready for all of this. I can't wait to meet Gavin but in no rush for this experience to end. Thanks to everyone who has supported me in this amazing journey. It has truly shown what amazing people are in my life!!

Pictures at almost 30 weeks

Here are some pictures that were taken when I was 29 weeks pregnant. Definately getting larger and larger. But, still feel great and would not trade all these amazing things that are happening to me!!! Gavin is very active and I love that the most!! I feel good and hope the last 2 months go as smoothly. My shower for work will be at my friend Neisha's and that will be 11/23 and my shower with family and friends will of course be hosted by Becky!! That will be on 12/6. Both should be real fun!! I am getting the nursery delivered over Thanksgiving weekend so that should be real fun and will make this even more real!!! Will post pictures of that and the showers in the next month!!
