Preschool Shower






The children in my preschool gave me shower last night, there were games like pin the pacifier on the baby, and musical baby. It was also an ice cream social which they talked about ALL day long, knowing the afternoon would be spent eating ice cream - nap time was pretty tough yesterday!
This baby now has TONS of clothes, two highchairs, and a diaper genie, there were also some cute little toys and books thrown in. We are very grateful for these showers which allow us to accumulate all the things a baby needs! Here are some of the pictures, Pleas notice all the little paper plate decorations that were made by the children, the brown ones are monkeys and the blue winged looking ones are elephants. I love the "It's a Boy" sign the green leaves are the children's hand prints! The table covered in stuff is my kitchen table full of gifts! What a blessing it is to have such generous people in our lives!!!

28 Week Pictures



We had another ultrasound yesterday, everything looked great! I was disappointed that the machine wasn't working so they couldn't give me the copies of the color pictures, they said they would mail them, so I'll post them as soon as they get in. They did give me a couple shots of him in Black and White, with his hand across his face (as usual) but you can still see his sweet little face!
Mike and I think he is now looking like a cross beween our nephew James and our niece Mykaela - which will make him very cute of course!
Love,
Becky

Erik's Corner's of the house





Our house is small, very small (900 sq feet) so little Erik will not have a room of his own, however he is not even here yet and he owns several "corners" of the house. I have been having fun "nesting" and getting things ready for him.
In the first picture is the swing (they are oretty fancy these days!) and the bassinet (which also doubles as a mini pack and play for those trips to the beach house!). The 2nd and 3rd pics are the bathroom where all the cute little clothes hang on a towel (again a small house), and there is the changing table with some shelves. The last picture is Erik's corner of our bedroom. I'm proud to say I painted those letter myself - last night about midnight. As you can see the crib is full of lots of little things like blankets and toys, we'll have to figure out where to put those when he needs a place to sleep.
It's getting closer!! I can't wait!!
