Nesting with Mom

My mom came up this week to hang out with me now that I am off of work. We, well mainly she, made blankets for baby Bosma, while I ate bonbons and "supervised". It was so fun to have her here. Thanks for the making the trip Nona!

Tom was even inspired to do a little belly art...

The Baby's room...

For those of you who have been asking...
Here are a few shots of the baby's room.

Tom and I had so much fun getting his room ready. The two furniture pieces we got from my Grandparents. The changing table was my grandmother's buffet. Tom graciously painted both pieces white, what can I say he did such an awesome job!He even put up crown molding last weekend! I am one lucky mom-to-be...

Our bags are packed and we are ready for his arrival any day now...

Book Baby Shower

On July 10th some of our friends at work threw us a baby book shower, so now baby Bosma has his very own library.

One of Tom's nurses made the most amazing animal origami for the baby's room, which I know we'll treasure.

Tom said it was the "best baby shower he has ever been to."
Thank you for all of the lovely books!

We also have a little baby pool going at work... wonder what the "prize" should be?

Belly Jack

The girls at work had fun with my belly my last week of work...

Fourth of July

My Dad and brother came out to Merced for the 4th of July weekend, I think I surprised them with my HUGE belly but what can I say I surprise myself too. We ventured to our favorite river spot along the Merced River near Yosemite to beat the heat. It was a great weekend with the guys!

Santa Barbara Baby Shower

In May, the Strickland Ladies (Karen, Kara & Amie), along with my sister, threw me an amazing afternoon baby shower.

Despite the fire burning in the foothills getting us evicted from shower location #1, we ended up having a great celebration!

I told my sister I hated this game.
