Baby Edward's Chicago Baby Showers


Ed, Edward & I feel so blessed and thankful! We were showered with love and were so happy to be surrounded by our family and friends. THANK YOU to everyone for such a wonderful, special baby shower weekend! I've been meaning to post this for over a week now, where does the time go!? Today I'm 32 weeks along and Baby Edward has the hiccups this very moment! He is most active very late at night, which the Dr. said means he will be active very late at night when he is born. So it seems that we have a night owl on our hands (sigh). We have been busy getting things organized and ready for EJ's arrival. Ed has already put together the high chair (which we won't need for almost a year) and he installed the car seat this past weekend! He is SO ready to meet his son, he says that I'm keeping all to myself and that it is selfish of me :) HA! We did a one-day baby class this past Sunday from 8a-3pm. I was VERY grumpy by the end and needed a nap! I didn't really feel like I learned that much, the only thing I really was surprised by was that you should NOT ever use baby powder! Who knew!? Other than that, we are getting half of our basement finished, they started yesterday and are down there now banging away! It will be a great play space for Edward and his buddies. They say they will be done before June 22nd, I wonder if Baby Edward will be done before then? I guess only time will tell!

Let's hear it for the boys!!

These are two of my good friends (Rebecca & Amy) who are also having boys all within a month and a half of each other! I'm so happy that Edward is going to have best playmates to grow up with in STL! I feel like everyone I know is having a baby and it's pretty fantastic! I found out this month that my Big Sister Jilly Bean is having a baby girl (Bayla Marie!). I just can't wait to be a Mom in June & an Aunt in August, how cool is that!? I'm also about to be an Auntie to my dear friend Angie's baby ?, due in September! Ed's best friend Steve-o is going to be a Dad in September too...the announcements seem to roll in daily! Any of you preggers? This is such a neat time in our lives and I can't wait to see all these kiddies grow up!

I'm 30 weeks along! I just hope Edward stays in there baking until he is golden brown, perfectly healthy and ready to come out! I can not wait to see what he looks like: Chubby, more than likely. Large head and the need for baby neck brace to support large head, very possible. Curls, I sure hope so. Brains, certainly. Sense of humor, he's already hilarious.

So much to look forward to...10 weeks and counting!

Love,

Kelly
