It's Shower Time!

I cannot thank my wonderful friends and sisters enough who hosted the most marvelous baby shower for Baby K this July! Everything was perfect from the decorations to the food to the fun games and gifts. It was straight out of a magazine! Here are some photos from the big day. Baby K is so incredibly blessed to have such amazing family and friends.

All of the shower guests filled out "Wishes for Baby K." Such a fun keepsake - these will be treasured always!!

Beautiful decorations!

Theme of the day: yellows and grays just for Baby K

Amazing spread food network style..no one left hungry!

My friend Lauren made an awesome hippo cake for the shower (my favorite animal and one of the inspirations for Baby K's nursery). She later gave me the hippo pan so we can make Baby K a hippo cake on his or her 1st birthday..such a fun idea! Also - the cake was delish.

Action shot of the presentation of the hippo cake..SO EXCITED

We played the "poopy diaper" game - thanks sistahs! Kylie and Molly filled diapers with different melted candy bars and all of the guests had to distinguish the candy bars without tasting.

Presents, Presents, Presents!

 Baby K, Patrick and I were truly spoiled. We started putting together the nursery this week and don't even know where to start. We have such fun things!

This one made me cry..love this adorable nursery picture..thanks Kylie!

Me with Great-Grandma Hodges! She is going to have two new great grand babies this September.

A framer for sure. So many of my best friends from high school and college were able to be at the shower..so blessed! Baby K's "Honorary Aunties"

My adorable cousin Geneva was just one of the girls at the shower!

Best friends and sisters!

Baby K is very lucky.

Ultrasound: 31 Weeks

We had our 31 week ultrasound today and were so happy to see for ourselves that Baby K is doing wonderful! Unfortunately, he was a little camera shy. See foot below (Our ONLY photo) but so happy to see that he has 5 beautiful toes!

All he wanted to do was kick the camera, which is exactly what he's been doing to my belly for the past 2 months. We have definitely been blessed with an active little guy. He is in the birth-ready position though (head down/butt up) and our technician was surprised to see that he already has a very thick head of hair. She even asked if Patrick or I have Hispanic origins HA! Although she couldn't get a great photo op, the technician was able to take all of the necessary measurements and Baby K has checked out great! His heart looks wonderful (heart beat was 159 beats per minute this week) and he is probably around 3 lbs 9 oz which is actually only in the 20th percentile but our doctor is not worried. She might call for another ultrasound in 4 weeks just to make sure he's growing but for now, she's happy. They pushed my due date back even further to September 8th. I am really hoping for a 9/10/11 birthday!

That's all for now...Baby K is healthy and HAIRY and does not like being photographed. Oh well..he or she will truly be a surprise!!
