A few more weeks.../Baby Showers Galore!

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend-I know that we did! We had 3 baby showers! Whew! You should see our counter top-LOTS of cake there! First-I took a picture of my belly on Saturday at 35/36 weeks-now can I really get any bigger?!?! I was told I looked like an olive on a toothpick this weekend--Yea right! Any more bets on when he's coming????
On Friday my work had a shower for me. I forgot the camera so I didn't get any pictures of it--but it was a good time--good food--good stuff. Grayson got lots of noisy toys that when I brought them home-I couldn't figure out how to turn them off!

I had to go to the dr. on Friday because I thought I was getting a bladder infection-not fun. Luckily the test came back negative-the nurse just thinks that Grayson has dropped pretty low and that he's sitting right on top of my bladder-which is making me feel that way. Thanks buddy!
Friday night we went to Doug and Michele's. I took my camera-and of course the battery was dead-so no pictures of Lucy and Olivia. But I did snuggle on Ollie for quite some time--Lucy noticed how swollen my feet were "Aunt Leah-you have fat feet"--yes dear-I know. We actually watched Lucy and Olivia's baby videos-so that got me even more excited and ready to have the little guy!

Warning: As you will be able to see from these next few pictures-you will notice why there are very few of me on this blog-besides the belly. I look like I ate someone-and they went straight to my chins. You have been warned...

On Saturday-the girls had a shower for me at Jamie's house. Way fun. Here I am with all my fantastic hostesses. I'm not really sure why the picture is blurry-maybe too much light?

Everyone was there-we did the guess who brought the bib game-and I totally rocked it! I was only baffled by one. The spread was greatCan you see in the back corner-my fav-cookie cake-mmmm......
I have lots of picture of me opening gifts-but that gets kind of redundant. So here I am opening Ashley's awesome gift--she sells Uppercase Living and made Grayson's name on weathered blocks-that her husband cut and weathered for me. Thanks Bob! It's going to hang above his crib-once I get them up-there will definitely be a picture of them!


Due to Jamie writing the gifts down-I think she became a little more familiar with what things were...but we did have Steph next to us to help us when we both got stuck! Great time girls-I loved it!

On Sunday-Aunt Carole and Dee made the drive up from Mulvane so that Aunt Carole could attend my shower. We had brunch at Figlio's-which is fabulous-I highly recommend it. Then it was off to the shower! This shower was put on by my mom's friends.

Here's a picture of me, mom and Sara.

And the cake was a turtle! I have another picture of it close up. The shower was fun-more food to eat and more gifts. Isn't that way cute? And it tasted awesome.
Here's a picture of mom using her new camera that we all got them for Christmas. She took one picture-and the camera said full. I told her she needed a memory card for it because it only would hold about 6 pictures. She was all set and ready to be the photographer that day. Mom-here's your reminder-go get a memory card!

Have lots more pictures of me opening presents-got TONS of good stuff!
Here's Sara with our new cousin Lauren-I'm not sure what's going on-but all of a sudden little kids are drawn to Sara-it's very interesting...

And finally-here's the leftovers that we still have to put away. We have already put stuff away twice-and this stuff we still have to find a home for. Rob was getting really great at unloading and loading the car up with gifts!We go to Dr. P tomorrow-I'm hoping we'll talk a little bit more about my due date. Her nurse
said that I'll more than likely be induced-but when-who knows? And if this guy keeps getting bigger and bigger-I might be giving birth to a man! We'll keep you all posted. Have a great rest of the week!

So sorry, I forgot to ask about your bladder infection, but glad to hear you didn't have one. I think Audrey took pics of our work shower, so she could probably send some to you. Looks like everything is ready for little man Grayson to get here!

Aw...I so wish I could have "showered" with you...hmmm that didn't sound good. Hope you got all the good stuff you need. And if you're missing something, chances are that I already have it and you could just borrow it...
And I've decided, I'm waiting until he gets here to buy his gift. Hope you don't mind.
XOXO-K
