Month: March 2010

While I was in Visalia the family got together to celebrate birthdays! It was so nice to be able to see everyone! When the Anaya baby is born my grandparents will have 9 great grandchildren! Needless to say we had a huge party!

My family put together a beautiful baby shower for me last weekend while I was visiting them in Visalia. My youngest niece had never been to a baby shower before and she asked, “What do you do at a baby shower? Take a shower with the baby?” Bryan and I are looking forward to all the funny little things that our children will say. My friend, Tawni, took some awesome photos for me during the shower so I added them below. A very special thank you to all the women who worked SO hard putting together a wonderful shower!

This week I’m 27 weeks along, which means next week will be the start of my third trimester! Bryan and I just got back from the doctor and everything is looking great. Bryan asked the doctor about natural childbirth and he gave a wonderful answer so we are both very excited about the labor process and how my hospital stay will go. I was given the pleasure of drinking the sugary glucose drink and getting my blood drawn. I also got to have an extra shot, and lucky me . . . it’s wasn’t given in the arm. Fortunately, the staff there are all very nice and made the process as painless as possible.

Bryan and I can’t believe how fast the time has gone. Baby Anaya will be here before we know it. So, we are trying to take time to enjoy this part of parenthood. Bryan got to feel many of the baby’s kicks a few nights ago. He was amazed at how active the little guy is. I think Bryan now sees why I have such a hard time sleeping.

Below I posted a picture that we took today. When I looked at the picture I couldn’t believe how much I’d grown in three short weeks. The baby now weighs around 2 lbs and is close to 14 inches long.
