34 weeks & baby shower

This weekend I had my baby shower and I am extremely grateful and so impressed at how much stuff I got. I know this may not look like a lot to some, but for a 2nd baby I got more than I ever expected. Thanks again to everyone who came and to my aunts & mom who helped throw the shower for me. I can't thank you enough!

This pic cracks me up...this was on our way to the shower and unfortunately the only pic I got of Maci Rose the whole day. She is reading her new book that came out of her big sister present.

This is the only picture I have of myself and belly on my camera, if anyone got any others please share so I can add them to my book.

This is what his room looks like right now while I try to sort through what to wash, hang, bring to the kitchen, etc. I'm overwhelmed!

My favorite outfit! Thanks Kristen! I can't wait to put my little man in this!

This is a pile of the "Carters" name brand items. I'm trying to decide what to do with them. I may frame a collage of the tags and hang it in his room somewhere.

I REALLY appreciate every single gift I got, so thanks, but please be patient with me on the thank you cards until I can get through finals next week!!

I'll leave you with my 34 weeks belly shots. Baby is definitely growing bigger every day.

I'll let you be the judge

I'd guess she is cutting 2 year old molars back there, but I'll let you be the judge. She has been chewing on everything in sight for the past week now! And I know she's past the "putting things in her mouth" phase.

When she caught me looking at her she put the toy down

(notice the drool dripping off her chin)

and resorted to chewing on her fingers!

If she would sit still long enough to cooperate, then I could actually check and see! I'm afraid she's going to bite me!!

A funfilled birthday weekend

We started off the weekend by picking up her birthday outfit, which turned out sooooo cute!! 

Friday night we went to Habaneros (a mexican restaurant in Trussville) and requested her birthday. She got to wear the big hat and eat the fried ice cream too!

Sunday was party day!! Here is what the house looked like before the party!

Her cake!!

The moonwalk Jeremy rented was a big hit for the party and all the neighbors. We kept in blown up all weekend for all the neighbors to come and jump in.

We weren't sure if she knew how to blow out the candles yet, so Jeremy practiced with her before the party. She blows soo softly that she could barely blow it out. It was cute though!

The party was a blast!!  I couldn't have asked for a better turnout! Thanks to all who came!! Maci Rose is still living the high life! Since she was treated like a princess all weekend she is still acting like we should bow to her. I'm going to have to show her back to reality soon. 

(I put some of the presents up and every day I give her another one to play with as a way for me to keep up with all the pieces to everything. I may even hold back a few to give her when Carter gets here and shes getting no attention. It's more fun for me and her that way!)

33 weeks comparison

Here are the pictures from me now at 33 weeks (top) and below with Maci Rose at 33 weeks. I'm definitely bigger this time around.

Stay tuned for the extremely long birthday weekend post. We're exhausted!!

Birthday Princess!!

2 years ago today I had the pleasure of becoming the mommy of a beautiful baby girl!! I love her so much and can't believe she is turning 2 today! She has been everything I wanted and more and I pray God gives me many more wonderful years with her!!

 Happy Birthday Maci Rose!!

(Wow..I've never noticed how much hair she has gotten in the past few months)

We have a big weekend ahead of us! We rented a birthday cake moonwalk for her birthday party so I'm hoping it will be a big hit for the kids! I will be sure to post some pictures of all the festivities!! Have a great weekend!!
