34 weeks pregnant!!!!

So Talton and I went to the doctor yesterday and had our first ultrasound since we found out that Connar was a boy at 20 weeks along. Our sweet boy is growing big, strong, and healthy....please pray that this continues. :) The ultrasound tech said that he has big chubby cheeks, is head down (smart boy!), and estimates him to currently weigh 5 pounds 10 ounces. We have six weeks to go until his due date, so we're anxious to see how much he'll weigh once he arrives. As long as he's healthy, I'll be a happy mommy. :) He actually got the hiccups during the ultrasound which was quite funny. We can't wait to meet Connar and just dream about what it will be like to hold him for the first time......

In more exciting news, my sister, Kelsie, got married this past weekend. It was a beautiful wedding and so much fun. I did my best to dance around a bit even though I'm soooo pregnant. :) Here's a picture of Connar at the wedding:

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life For Me!!!!

I am nearly 33 weeks pregnant, and we just had a blast at our second baby shower. It was thrown by wonderful family friends who have been like other moms to me through my life. So many friends (from long ago as well as new friends) made time to come out to celebrate Connar, and that meant the world to me. Connar received so many cute clothes, fun toys, thoughtful gifts, and sweet books, and Talton and I are so excited to be able to use them with him soon. Speaking of my husband, he surprised me at the end of the shower by showing up (had been planned for like a month), and the hostess actually had gifts for Talton to open up as the daddy. That was quite fun!


Connar's loot! He's already so very loved...


The amazing hostesses with the super cute pirate cake that matched Connar's bedding...


Fun bibs...




One of Talton's Daddy gifts that he opened was a Texans outfit, including the helmet and ball for Connar to wear one day. I can already imagine my boys sitting sitting together on the couch on a football Sunday....Connar as a little boy wearing his Texans jersey and big helmet next to his proud daddy. So cute!


My prince charming...


This was the funniest gift that Talton received. It was an apron full of things he'll need for "Daddy Diaper Dooty"...gotta love the tongs to pick up the dirty diapers! Ha!
