"Pregnant women are among a select group of people who are actually allowed to act insane, much like sports mascots, local weathermen, theme park performers and that guy with the question mark jacket who teaches people how to get free money from the government." -Scrubs

I know, I know, I haven't updated this in quite a while! The past few weeks have been very busy, and something about the Never-Ending Blizzard of 2010 left me feeling very unmotivated.

My baby shower was January 30, and my Mom and MegAnne did a wonderful job planning it! I was sad the Never-ending Blizzard of 2010, Part 1 kept most everyone from getting here, but I still had a wonderful time! I am really thankful for all of the people who braved the snow to get here, and the family who came in from out of town. Aunt Kerri came in from Colorado for the weekend, which was wonderful! I'm sorry many of you weren't able to make it, but we did enjoy eating your Godiva chocolate party favors....sorry :)

Baby got lots of fun gifts and I quickly realized I did not have enough storage options for all of it. Enter perfect opportunity to go to Ikea again! I got a large shelving unit that will hopefully store a lot of clothes, diapers, toys...and whatever else will fit in it haha.

Uncle Joe and Rett visited with us from PA for a week, and Uncle Joe was lovely enough to put together the Ikea shelf and the Baby's dresser.

But don't go thinking I'm not handy...I put the pack and play together...which was not as easy as I anticipated haha (but isn't it cute?!). This little gem will be where Baby sleeps his first few weeks (thanks Mammu and Baps!!).

While washing Baby's clothes, I was pretty excited to discover the special baby detergent smells like a baby. I'm not sure why I didn't realize this before. The baby smell and the tiny size of the newborn clothes made me feel so excited, I really just can't wait to hold my little guy!

The Never-ending Blizzard of 2010, Parts 2, 3, and 4 kept us in the house for days and days. I did enjoy working from home so much!! However, all of this pesky snow didn't keep me from my ultrasound (on my birthday). Seeing my little guy was probably the best birthday present ever :) I can't believe how clearly I could see his face! Here are some pictures that I labeled for those of you not used to looking at ultrasound images:

Here are the latest maternity photos taken by my mom about a week before the baby shower. I think these were at 28 weeks, and my belly is already A LOT bigger than this.

Baby and I got a big thumbs up at the last doctor appointment; everything is right on schedule. Baby has discovered my ribs. He likes to scoot his tiny butt up there, and enjoys kicking my ribs on the right side....this is not so much fun for mommy. He gets very excited and moves around a lot when I eat fruits that are a little sour (green apples, green grapes, strawberries), so I've been trying keep those foods on the menu. I however, am still obsessed with Reeses peanut butter cups, Lucky Charms, blueberry Eggos, and Edy's Swiss Orange Sherbet.

...wow, what a long post...I really should do this more often haha.
