Xander's Baby Shower!!

Well, here are a few pictures I have of my baby shower on Saturday. My friends Jen and Kendra hosted it and did an Incredible job! It was so fun- and there was such a great turn out, good food, and fun games. It was a blast. I have to say, for my first baby shower, I am definately impressed :) I went from not thinking I would have one, to having one this good! I loved seeing some friends and family that I literally hadn't seen in months and years. I'm glad they came.

Jen made a super cute scrapbook for me to put my baby shower pictures in.. and she had all the guests write little notes and words of advice to me in the back of the book. I thought that was a clever idea.

Kendra and Jen took most of the pictures with their cameras since I was gabbing with friends and relatives the whole time.. so once I get copies of those pictures, I will post them.

Jen- the Party Planner!- and Me

All the girls thought it looked like I just had a basketball under my shirt.. (your right girls- I just wanted a bunch of free gifts- so I have been faking it this whole time)

My sister-in-law Misty is due a week after me.. she is having a girl (its cool to see how differently we carry our babies- since she is having a girl, her baby is really high, and mine is really low) I cant tell you how many times I've been in a store, and a stranger will come up to me and say, "Oh your having a boy!" I'm always like... "How do you know that??" and they say they can tell by the way I'm carrying my baby.

Mmm.. all the yummy food.. the cake Kendra made was heavenly... *pardon my drooling*

All the gifts I got.. I couldn't believe how generous everyone was (JEN!!). I am hugely grateful for everyone's gifts.. It got me even more excited (if that's possible) to have this kid! Except for the fact that I got- count 'em- 416 newborn diapers... and the mommies said I would use every single one of them... OH BOY. Better warm up my diaper-changing hands! Thank you everybody! I love you all!

Our Weekend with Lee

So my brother, Lee had a long weekend off school at BYU, so he took the op to come visit us here in Vegas. On Sat, we went to the Strip and watched the Bellagio show, and then went to Madam Taussau's Wax Museum and took tons of pics. It was fun.. needless to say the boys were silly the whole time and we got some funny pix out of it. :)

OOPS

Okay so I was fumbling around with my blog.. and somehow I accidently deleted all of my Friends and Family Blog links!!! GRRRRR I am soo ticked!! So, if you could all respond to this and leave your link, that'd be great! This is so frustrating!

8 Month Photos!

Okay Mom, here are pictures of me at 8 months! (33rd week) Certain shirts show my belly better than others, and this one eccentuates it pretty well. I am super excited that it's getting so close! My ribs feel like they are about to break if this baby gets any bigger... so hopefully the time flies by. Its super hard to be sexy when your pregnant... but I tried ;)(second pic). Anyhoo! LOVE YOU ALL!

Morning Stretch

Here, Xander is stretching.. kinda funny looking. This is his back.

Lil Xander Kicking!

Here are some videos I took of little Xander going nuts this morning! He had the hiccups and they bother him so it was making him squirm quite a bit. Poor thing.. I hate the hiccups too! Anyways.. it was cool to watch!
