More Baby Showers!

Well it's been another month. February came and went so quickly! I spent the month either out of town or working. After my wonderful trip home to VA, Nathan and I got to spend a fun but short weekend in Utah. We drove up with his sister Andrea and her boyfriend, Paul. It was nice to have some extra company on the drive. I will say, however, that a 10 hour drive is not easy on a pregnant body. That'll probably be the last before this little guy comes. The main reason for our visit to Utah was so that Kristie, Jerai, and Sydney could throw me another baby shower! They were so great to do so and it turned out amazing! Thanks for doing that for me you guys! It was so fun for me to be able to see so many of my good friends in Utah. While I was up there, Syd was nice enough to shoot a few maternity pictures for me. I know the belly still has a lot of room to grow (which it already has in the 3 wks since then)...but it was the only time I was going to have Syd around to take them! They turned out great! Thanks Syd! So now it's just back to the grind. I'll admit I have taken on the characteristics of a little bird these past couple weeks. One might call it "nesting". All the baby clothes are washed and folded, and we now have our stroller (which I love!) and a car seat occupying much of the space in our small apartment. Just a few more odds and ends and I'd say we're ready for action! I'm 33.2 weeks today and getting very anxious to meet the little guy (who will most likely remain nameless until after his arrival). Until then, I guess I'll just have to work hard and try and enjoy the 90 degree weather that Arizona has had to offer lately. I will say that the pool has been looking mighty tempting these past couple weeks. I've already spent a little time there and believe me...there will be more. Now if only Costco would start selling watermelons already!

I've gotta tell you... You hardly have a "bump" at all! I would consider it more like a pudge than anything! It's darling. You look great Jess! I'm glad you had another fun shower. Oh, how I wish we would have been there... we miss you all so much! I love the pictures, props to Syd- they turned out awesome. The one of you 3 girls is so cute. Enjoy the sun a little for me, okay? :)

I think we need to spend some time with you and Nate 'cause you look like super fun people to hang out with. After Baby Larson comes I hope to see more of you!

I can't believe you're due so soon. You look so good!! I also loved the posts Nate had. He's hilarious. Bret was cracking up too. Also, I saw Nate's mustache and his was pretty awesome. You're a good wife for letting him have it for so long. In fact, when I read your comment that Nate still has his mustache, I turned to Bret and said are you serious?! He said "heck yeah - It's awesome." So I know Bret is a little jealous Nate still gets to keep his. Good luck with everything these next couple weeks.
