Safari Shower

This past weekend was a whirlwind what with my mom's birthday and the beautiful shower she put on in honor of her grandson. It's amazing I survived with enough energy to even get out of bed this morning!

I really hope my mom enjoyed herself on her birthday because I sure did. This baby is once again so blessed to have sooooo many lovely aunties and grandmas who gave him the most fantastically beautiful gifts. Each and every present was so beautifully put together and so warm and special my heart melted as I opened each one.

The shower was of course to-die-for, as my mom would not have had it any other way and the fact that she did it all on her birthday just made it that much more special to the baby and I. I cannot thank her enough for being the most amazing mom and future grandma a girl could ever ask for. Besos mami :)

Chaucer tested...Mother approved

I've been telling you all about the great gifts we've received lately, well here are some pictures of a few of them in action. Chaucer has been one fantastic test specimen with all of the baby's presents. I have a feeling he thinks all of these things are for him and not for his little brother. Jack has a feeling Chaucer is contemplating suicide based on the reactions he has in all of these pictures. You be the judge ;)

Pablo gets showered

Sorry I haven't posted in quite some time, I've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off attempting to get the baby's nursery in order, receiving/putting away presents and writing thank you notes like mad. I guess things could be worse, I mean the majority of this running around is because this baby has been blessed with the most amazing friends and family anyone could ever ask for.

Jack, Pablo and I are absolutely mystified with the amount of out pour this baby (who now has 12 weeks to go!!!) has received. In the last few weeks alone I've had 2 drop-dead-gorgeous showers and all of you have more than exceeded any expectation I may have some how had with the completion of what seems like 95% of the baby registry. The presents have all been so special, so beautiful and have at this point brought me to tears because I am so elated with each and every one that I receive.

Words cannot express my gratitude and I hope you all enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them :)

27 weeks

Yikes folks. Yikes. I haven't posted a belly pic in quite some time and here I am at a full 27 weeks...Updates, I have TONS, but for now I'll leave you with the knowledge that the baby and I are thankfully doing well and as you can tell this fatty is coming along as he is supposed to. He has started hiccuping a lot now and its funny to both feel that and picture him doing it. More posts to come, I promise!!!

First Shower present!!!

Thank you thank you thank you Tia Ory! I LOVVVVVEEEEE the baby's gift! Today I came home and found a big box on my doorstep which to my surprise and Jack's relief was NOT in fact something that I had ordered (which is usually the case). I was so excited to see it was my first official 'shower gift' and present from my dearest Aunt Ory who lives in Baton Rouge, LA. I OF COURSE had to tear it open right away and asked Jack to put it together right there and then.

Doesn't it look fantastic? this thing vibrates, soothes, plays music and even comes with some cute puppies the baby can play with if bored with the other gadgets. I know I seem so shocked considering I put this item on my registry, but to be completely honest, I picked everything online so any extra components or details these items may have will be a surprise to me when I see it in person.

Anyways, I'm so excited to put the 'gordo' (as my fam has been referring to him lately) in here and I can only imagine what he'll look like so we've decided to start using the Burrito who is a whopping 10 lbs as a test subject from here on out on all baby products. I apologize for all you animal lovers out there, but these products WILL be tested on the animal and don't worry Tia Ory, he was only in there for 2 mins.
