Baby Shower Love and BFF's

Boy..what a week. This girl is pooped and it is only Thursday. It has been a WONDERFUL week though and is only going to get better! My BESTEST, most amazing, most fun, most beautiful friend and her little guy will be here in TWO HOURS!!!! AHHH!!!!!! I cannot wait to get my hands on her and her precious little boy. I miss her so stinking much. The last time we saw eachother was when she was here back in Feb. WAAAYY TOO LONG!!! So much has changed since then. She may not even recognize the big beast I have become. Ha!!! It is so hard to live so far from her, but what's amazing is that she has remained my number one gal even with the distance. I am so lucky to have her in my life. She is just the most genuine, loyal, loving woman. I can't wait for this fun weekend. I just know it will go by too fast. I may have to hold her hostage. An added bonus for the weekend is that her sister in law (and another good friend) Erin and her little boy Greyson will be here too. Wow, this is going to be a fun filled visit. Frank and I will get a taste of toddlerhood! What is funny is that when Nicole came back in the spring with little Luca we realized that having an 8 month old was pretty darn hard at times. We "decided" at the time that we would wait a little longer before we really started trying to start a family!!!! HAHAHAHA!!! Little did we know that our little guy had already planted himself in my uterus! OOOPPS!!! God had other plans for these two. The goal this weekend is to not get too stressed about the fact that we are going to have our own crazy little man in a little over four weeks; and to realize that there is only one of him (not two) and he won't be a toddler right away. Should be interesting. No turning back now.

Another WONDERFUL thing that happened this week was my work baby shower. It was PERFECT. Anna and Katherine did such a great job with all the little details. Anna's house looked beautiful as always and she was just the cutest little hostess. Cash racked up on tons of cute goodies and money for his carseat (that's good since you kind of have to have that one). I am so thankful to have such wonderful women in my life who care enough to take the time to show the love to baby and me. Anna and KK came up with the funniest game that was just PERFECT for my crazy butt. Pin the SPERM on the UTERUS!!! Anna drew a big uterus on a poster and made little sparkly sperm to pin to the board. SO fun and original. We all had a blast with that one. My sister was even here to celebrate and that made it all the more special. The only thing missing was KK....who just had to go and start the process of having baby Tyler! We all knew it was gonna happen. She is so crazy. She brought all the goodies she had for the shower over to Anna's and then made Anna do her makeup all while having contractions. I know little Anna was freaked out. She kept telling KK to get her butt to the hospital but KK was determined she was coming back to the shower and wanted her makeup to be done just in case. LMAO!!! Typical. Well, little Tyler ( I mean BIG 10 pound Tyler) didn't make it that day, but came via section Monday morning after a long, hard labor. KK did AMAZING and baby and momma are home doing well. She is such a strong woman. It was so surreal to get to see and hold that sweet boy after seeing him grow in his momma's belly. Can't wait for him and Cash to be together. So I am up to bat now. Anna will be soon after me and then all the boys will be together. It is going to be a fun spring being a new mommy with those two (and with Tessa who had baby Kinley in August). The lone girl leading the boys!

The hostess (and the cutest little momma ever)...KK was there in spirit!

Sweet little lamby cupcakes..Strawberry of course

Anna made Cash two cute signs for his room..that boy should know his initials by one year since they are EVERYWHERE in his room!

Gotta have the onsie stickers..thanks KK

The super fun game!

Cash's sperm even had a W on it for Wilson

Tessa looking GORG after just having a baby in August!



Baby boy is for sure growing BIG, BIG in my belly these days. I think he must have had a growth spurt over the weekend because I can really feel him in there these days. He starts right under my chest and goes all the way down to no man's land. HA!! He is so active at night when I work. People probably get so sick of me saying feel this or look at that. I am just not used to seeing him so active and will never get over the fact that I can feel body parts in my belly. When I was holding baby Tyler he was just a kicking and squirming. He must know that was his best bud I was snuggling. I am feeling pretty good these days. Still counting down till his arrival. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
