Matt and I found our church home a couple of years ago. We've been going to Bear Creek Bible Church and have really enjoyed getting to know the members and being part of the church. Today, the ladies hosted a baby shower for me and it was great! I had a great time getting to know new people and actually putting a face to the names since I am part of the ladies e-mail group and see correspondence from several of them. Summer was the person that presented the devotional and it was sooo nice and appropriate! I liked it!

Here is a picture of Melisa, me and Mary they are the ones that arranged the shower.

Lockheed Friends

Yesterday, 3 of my co-workers (Charlotte, Tracey and Vicki) hosted a baby shower and it was GREAT! To say the least! I invited the guys and all the people around my area during lunch. The girls made sandwiches, served tea and a homemade cake by Helen and cupcakes by Elizabeth! It was all so great! They decorated in ABC's and primary colors since that's our baby's nursery theme. I opened gifts and everyone was just so generous!

Once I got home I took my time in opening the gifts and cards with Matt. I left a gift so Matt could open. We set the mobile up and started thinking out where all these things were going to go. Today is Matt's last day of summer school so he'll be working on making room for Baby Stokes! I'm sooo happy that he's agreed to combine the office and guest bed! YAY! We're feeling the time crunch now! OOPS maybe we should have started all this sooner! HEHEE

Millie was not left out of the gift opening either! OF COURSE! I had to combine gifts and Millie so that's what the picture above shows! I HAVE the CUTEST DOG EVER!!!!

Off Center

Over this past weekend I fell by missing the curve as I tried to step on it. I twisted my ankle and landed on my other leg's knee. So I went on with my day, my limp and my slight waddle! My ankle ended up getting worst throughout the day so I decided to go home and take it easy. I went and took a shower and afterwards slipped and fell AGAIN! 2nd time I did land on part of my belly but not too bad......I did try to catch myself. After all that I did decide to no longer be moving around much.....

Next morning I decided to do a load of laundry before church and as I reached for the detergent I accidentally dumped the whole box in the washer! GRRRR! I just hope the rest of my week goes much better than what this weekend was.

Currently I am 33 weeks along. Baby is doing fine....we are on an every 2 week basis dr. visit.

Just another random picture of Debbie and me at Hurricane Harbor last summer.

Mold

Yesterday, Kelly and Rick took the mold out.....the mold has PLENTY of details....hehehe more than I expected. Kelly thinks my hands have a lot of details, which they liked a lot.

Belly Casting

Today, I went over to Rick and Kelly's to get a belly (or body) casting. It was very interesting, I was VERY curious to go through the process and to my pleasant surprise it was very fast and easy. The completed product will not be available for a while......the cast has to set overnight and depending on their schedule they won't be able to move on with it. Stay tuned for more pictures.

**I added pics from Amarillo Shower to my picture blog.

Squash in Me!

So the baby is the size of a squash this week about 3 lbs. I am currently at 31 weeks. We went to the dr. today and all is looking good. I really enjoy listening to the baby's heartbeat. My weight gain has made moving around more of a challenge. I got the "wobble"......I can feel me doing it but it's not all the time.

People around work are guessing what sex the baby is going to be and seems as most think I'm carrying a little girl. A little boy will be a bit of a surprise if I say so myself! :D

Back to Texas!

After being in Oklahoma I drove to Amarillo and I went straight to see Matt and Millie. I had missed them.......then that night my mom and I went to a birthday party out by Boys Ranch. It was soooo beautiful out there.....I have started to appreciate how pretty it is up in the Panhandle.

My best friend, Krissy and her family, hosted a baby shower for me on Saturday. It was so great to see everyone (old friends and family)! I loved it! I had a great time! My sister and nephews were also in town. I will post the shower pics later in my photo blog (link is on the right of this blog page under "photo blog").

I've heard that forgetfullness is common in pregnancy. GOSH did I experience some major forgetfullness this weekend......so one hour into our drive back to Fort Worth, I remembered that I forgot my laptop! GRRR.....we had to drive back. I also forgot my pillow, phone charger, curling iron and laptop! I couldn't believe I forgot all those things.

Today Baby Stokes turned 30 weeks! 10 more weeks to go......seems neverending! Baby is now the size of a head of cabbage! YIKES!
