Josh and I had a pretty awesome day yesterday...His co-workers threw us a surprise baby shower / luncheon! It was completely unexpected and so generous and sweet...He works with some really great people, and we appreciate all of them and their support!
Gifts received:
1. Noisy 4-wheeler (it's not powered, so once Melon gets old enough it will be safe for riding)
2. Super soft teddy bear
3. $100 gift card to Babies R Us
4. $60 gift card to Ohana Steakhouse (Japanese Steakhouse - Here I come volcano drink!)
5. Scentsy nightlight candle with 3 different wax scents - yummy!
So as you can see, we got a lot of great stuff:)
It's fun to see how Cooper and Fletcher react to things. Everything we have gotten that is stuffed and soft or makes jingley noices automatically gets into Cooper's mouth - he thinks it's a new toy for him! He will have to learn the difference and I'm sure he won't be happy about it...
Fletcher pretty much hates everything! He barks at the 4-wheeler and the swing and the popping vacuum cleaner from J's mom and Den - anything that makes an unfamiliar noise or motion, he completely freaks out at.
They are such funny little boys:) They are going to have a lot of adjusting to do, but J and I are committed to loving them just as much as we ever have and trying to make the transition as easy as we can on them. They are, after all, our first babies and we love them! Let's hope they love the baby.
And as the title says, we are now 35 weeks and 2 days into the pregnancy. We had our weekly OB appointment today and all was wonderful as usual. The baby's heartbeat has slowed to mid-thirties. Guess that means we're getting some chub built up! 33 days to go!!!
Only 33 days! How exciting. I love that you have this blog.. plus you're great a writing and its so nice to hear how everything is going. Hope these last weeks go easy on you. Happy all is well with baby Banta.
ReplyDeleteWhoa -- the heart beat slows down that much? Or do you mean 130s? You have to be clear on these things -- I don't know anything! That was really nice of Josh's co-workers. Sounds like you got some really nice stuff!
