Baby Shower Pictures

7 weeks left!

Well here we are just 7 weeks away now. We decided to take a baby moon to West Palm Beach and officially mark our last vacation as just the two of us. The weather was a comfortable 70 degrees pretty much the entire time but we did feel a bit like we were in a wind tunnel. We stayed at the Ritz Carlton which was so much fun. They had one of the top rated spas in the World which we definitely took advantage of as you can see above. We both got two massages and a facial. We also spent some time in this garden area. They had these egg chairs hanging over water that were very comfy as Ashley is demonstrating and I think I ended up drinking 2 gallons of the fruit infused water. We had some delicious meals, relaxed at the pool and celebrated the last 5 years we've had together as a couple. I think we can both officially say we are ready, excited and more than looking forward to welcoming this little bundle of joy into the world. 

Ashley also recently had her baby shower which looked amazing from the pictures I saw. I'll put some of those on here also. Thank you Ambur, Maggie, Meredith and Kathleen for your awesome hosting. As we begin to evaluate all the things we "need" it is so appreciative for all the goodies we got at this shower. It also made Ashley feel so special to have those we love celebrate this pregnancy and upcoming stork delivery with her. There aren't many times in life in which people get together to truly celebrate with someone and shower them with gifts, words of encouragement and thoughts of anticipation. We truly appreciate it everyone. Thank you!

Now on to some baby and baby momma updates. At our last Dr's appointment Ashley had only gained 1 pound since the last visit. Seriously, I think she is superwoman sometimes. I've gained more than that since our last visit. Seriously. The heart beat was high 130's low 140's and everything looked absolutely perfect. We seem to be right on schedule and textbook in all other areas. Ashley has started to have some lower back pain as her center of gravity shifts but she has been managing that very well. The little one has been getting the hick-ups pretty often which is kind of cute to feel but has got to be frustrating for the baby. Ashley says that when she starts feeling the hiccups the baby really gets active and starts kicking around. Now these kicks have become something quite amazing. Not only can it shake something sitting on her belly but it almost always makes my jaw drop and how big the movements look. We keep trying to figure out how the baby is positioned in Ash's belly since there are kicks all over the place. She is pretty sure the head is down, feet are tucked nicely in her right side ribs and the butt is keeping the whole left side of her belly full. 

Thanks to our Moms we got both our car seats at the shower which I installed this past weekend. So now we look more official riding around with car seats in both cars. I really can't wait to be pushing our baby around in a stroller at the zoo, or the mall, or wherever it is parents with little babies go. 

Well that's all for now. Not much longer folks! We have one more appointment and then we go to weekly visits. Exciting times folks! Love you all.
