Baby Shower

The fun centerpiece

Grandma Corinne, me and Grandma (my mom)

This past weekend I had a wonderful shower hosted by two close friends of John's mom and my sister in law Kris. It was so fun to see everyone and spend time with family. Kris and I spent the rest of the weekend with our cousins scrapbooking (thank you Trisha). I made Hudson's baby book and I can't wait to add more to it. It was the perfect weekend!

Maternity Pictures

My belly at 33 weeks

Today we had maternity pictures taken. I had no idea what to expect...but it was so much fun! I wasn't sure that this was something that I wanted to do, until I got there. As soon as we started taking pictures I realized how wonderful it will be to have these forever. They are pictures of a time that we will never have again. Becoming parents for the first time is a feeling that I never want to forget.

I think that John loved it as much as I did. We had a tough time picking the ones that we wanted to purchase. This was one of my favorites!

10 More Weeks!

30 weeks!

I can't believe how fast the past six months have gone by. I'm so excited to get to the end, but I also LOVE being pregnant. I feel very lucky, have felt pretty good for most of my pregnancy. Besides not having a lot of energy I have felt great! I love looking back at the pictures that John has taken each week. Lately I feel like I look bigger each day. Also, Hudson is moving around a lot and I can feel it more than ever. I love it...except when I'm trying to sleep.

His bedding finally came in and is on his crib. It's perfect, I often stand in there and just think about him and imagine seeing him sleeping peacefully in his bed. As soon as his room is finished I will post some pictures.

Happy New Year

New Years Eve in Seattle

We had a quiet and relaxing new years with good friends. This was the first year that we didn't go downtown and have a big night out. It made me realize how much has changed over the past few years and how much is about to change REALLY soon. This year it was difficult for me to stay awake for midnight. Next year Hudson will be here and that is all that matters.
