32 Weeks and Many Blessings

Ok...so I've been a little lazy with the blog the past couple of weeks, but there has been a lot going on! First, we had an ultrasound last week that showed little Miss Molly is healthy and big, but breech and uncooperative for photos. The photo below is her best shot! You can see her looking straight into the camera and her chubby cheek and eye. The ultrasound tech said she has a full head of hair as well. Let's hope it's red!!! I've already been doing exercises my chiropractor had suggested to help her turn her butt around...and I swear it has already worked as she does feel differently than before! I'm not worried... she still has time to turn, so we'll see what happens!





Last weekend we had SO much fun!!! We drove down to Iowa on Friday night and met my cousin, Carrie, who was in town from Colorado as well as her mom and dad and Grandma. It's so cool as she is due the day before me! We grew up together and thanks to Facebook, have been keeping tabs on each other during our pregnancies. It was so nice though to see her in person and visit! We are both so blessed. On Saturday morning, we headed out to Ann's farm for our Maternity Shoot. OMG! She is awesome! I cannot WAIT to see some of the photos! She did a great job no matter what, it'll just be interesting to see how much I love photos of me looking large and in charge! :) Saturday afternoon, we had our Friend's Shower in Iowa. What a turnout!! We had so much fun with both my friends and mom's friends! Aimee, Lori and Tif did an AMAZING job with the shower! Lori's new house was perfect for hosting, Aimee did a great job on the party favors and crafty decor and Tif did a wonderful job on the baking! The cupcakes were so yummy that I had two! Anyway, we were overwhelmed with the generosity of everyone! We had a ball with all of the goodies for Molly! I can't wait to put her in all the adorable outfits! Saturday night, my mom hosting Bryon's family (mom, sister Teri and niece Amber) down at her house for dinner, which was amazing! We had a great time visiting and showing the Crowleys a bit of Iowa, which of course is the BEST! :) Sunday, we had brunch at mom's again (AWESOME)and then headed out for Shower #2 - the Stewart family. What can I say - if you know me, you know I think my family is freaking fantastic - which they only proved again! Once again, we were overwhelmed with everyone's love and generosity! It's just great to see everyone! My sister, Amy and Aunt Cari did a wonderful job hosting! We can't thank them enough! My cousin Diana made the most amazing cake -- I took the leftovers to work and had so many people tell me how wonderful it was and asked either for the recipe and/or if Diana would deliver! :) We unloaded the truck Sunday night and realized that Molly is certainly one lucky little girl, not only is she extremely blessed with gifts, but definitely with A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE. There is no better feeling... And next weekend... no doubt IL will be showing their love and we will be overwhelmed again...
