good morning everyone!

i am awake with some pretty massive heartburn, but with the help of tums and my yoga ball i think i will make it :) not much has changed since last post physically, but boy have we been busy! we had our first baby shower this saturday and it was a beautiful and meaningful experience, not to mention the presents. i didn't want to play games with food in diapers and thank goodness there was none of that. instead we had conversation with words of strength and stories of love from those who have become mothers and encouragement from friends! the food was wonderful, especially the chocolate covered strawberries :)

beyond the encouragement that was shared we received some fantastic gifts. We got a camcorder, a GREAT stroller, diaper genie, changing pad, swaddler, the perfect diaper bag, and some incredibly cute clothes!! everyones generocity was a bit overwhelming, and thank you cards seem inadequate. we spent the weekend taking stock and putting some finishing touches on the nursery and we made our first diaper run!

we are getting more and more excited. zac and i find ourselves just looking at each other giggling when the realization hits, holy crap, only 5 more weeks! thank you to everyone who has supported us emotionally and given such generous gifts.
