Houston Shower - 25 Wks Pregnant

First of all I would like to apologize to all of my faithful bloggers that I have not updated my blog in over two weeks, you should have known something was up when I posted 2 blogs last time! Just kidding, hopefully I will get better. Anyway, things have been a little crazy since I last posted, we moved to Lafayette and were in the process of getting settled in. We did allot of work last week cleaning our Plaquemine home for showings and getting our condo ready for our renters. Therefore, on Thursday, we headed to Houston for a fun-filled weekend. We arrived Thursday afternoon and Kim, Gaven and Ty were in the yard setting up for the shower the next day. It was great seeing all of them because it had been 2 months since we saw them last. On Friday, Casey went to work in the Houston office while Kim, Gaven, Ty and I set up for the party. I had to run to Babies R Us for a bit so Kim and I couldn't resist putting a crown on Ty while we were there, he is such a good sport! The rain threatened that afternoon but the fun-filled party was not backing down and the weather stayed nice and it never rained at the party. In case you were wondering, the party was put on by Kim and Gaven and it was for Casey and I and Josh and Kristi. I used to work with Gaven and Josh, therefore, that's how I met their lovely wives. So, the party consisted of Casey's Apex office and friends from Burns & McDonnell (my old office). Here is a picture of the 3 girls, Kristi is 31 weeks pregnant with twins and she looks great and Kim is training for a triathlon (I can only dream of looking that good 10 months after Ella)!

The following are some pictures of the decorations for the shower, Kim and Gaven really did an excellent job with everything.

During the party, she played a game where the guys had to drink an ounce of beer from a baby bottle and the task proved harder then they all imagined, guess Ty will have to give some of you some pointers!

On Saturday, Kim, Ty and I went to Kristi's Baby Shower, it was allot of fun and the food/decorations were great. Then on Sunday, we left in the morning to drive back to Lafayette. I have to admit, it was nice not having to go one extra hour on I-10. Thanks again to Kim, Gaven and Ty for throwing a fabulous shower and putting us up for the weekend. Also, it was great to see all of our friends. It was weird saying goodbye to everyone, especially Kristi, knowing that she and I will have a baby/babies next time we see each other next.

On another note, I am 26 weeks pregnant today and growing at a rapid pace. Ella is extremely active and I still feel great. My first doctors appointment with my new doctor is next Wednesday and I will update my blog afterwards. Tootles!
