Baby Showers!

This past week was baby shower central around here! I had a baby shower at work on Wednesday, then a shower here at home on Saturday (hosted by Will's mom & sister). Both were so much fun, and both Will and I are so grateful for everyone's generosity! This little boy is set, and he has SO MANY very cute, adorable clothes that we can't wait for him to wear!

This weekend was awesome for cake as well! We had cake last Sunday at my parent's house, a huge cake at work on Wednesday, cake Saturday here - and we are still eating leftover cake! Its pretty rad.

Cake from party last Sunday @ my parents:

She literally had to sniff everything!
For Wednesday shower at work, it was combined with another girl who is due in less than 2 weeks. We were both STUNNED by everyone's generosity. We are both having boys, and we got the cutest stuff! People were very generous to us. This is my cart of stuff that I had to haul to my car:
Again, once all the stuff from work was home - Abby had to go through it.
I feel so grateful to everyone who participated in my showers this week! We had lots of fun, and I'm probably good for cake for a while. :)

For an update - I had another specialist appointment on Friday (I go weekly to my OB and every 3 weeks to the specialist) - and this little guy is BIG! He is already measuring at 5 lbs 12 oz! This was only at 33.5 weeks! We talked about inductions, etc - but both doctors agree that we will not be inducing for size alone ... so unless I have to be induced due to low amniotic fluid as well (which is what they are expecting will happen with my mature placenta) I am going to have a LARGE baby! I hate all this uncertainty regarding when this baby will actually come - but I'm happy and relieved to know the doctors are watching him closely and everything is still perfect so far. The specialist thinks I'll make it to "term", meaning 37 weeks - but that is only 3 weeks away! Ah! Now we just wait and see.

Today after church @ 34 weeks pregnant:
