Maternity Pictures

Just wanted to post some fun maternity pics we had taken.
Had contractions every 5 mins for about 1 hour on Saturday, so was a little nervous. But then I hydrated and rested and they spaced out to every 10 mins for another hour and then tapered off! Thank God because I am only 35 weeks. Cook a little longer little one, but not too much!

I had my work baby shower this week and it was lovely. They did a potluck breakfast, played a few games and gave me tons of nice gifts! I've officially divided up the clothes. I have tons of newborn-3 mos clothes, so will need to look at 6 mos and beyond from now on. Have a few more things on my registry but have tons of Target gift cards, so will go on a shopping spree at sometime thanks to all my generous friends and family.

It snowed this evening and stuck and left everything silent and white. My very favorite thing in all the world is snow, so it's been fun enjoying!

more to come,

33 weeks

What a busy few weeks it has been!
I'm officially 34 weeks, so 6 weeks to go! I'm feeling overall well, but this bump in the front continues to grow and take over. I actually tried squeezing through a tight space, not thinking about the large bump in front of me. Hurt myself, I admit...Oh well.
Saturday was my baby shower at HyunJu Low's house from church, put on by my sister and by my good friend Tiffany Bone. It was lovely. Had lots of friends, good food, laughter, prayer and LOTS O' GIFTS! I felt very celebrated and special. You'll see the "loot couch" picture attached.
Last weekend, we took professional maternity pictures, I've attached a picture of shan capturing the moment. The offical pics aren't back yet but once they are, I'll post a few as well.
Shan and I layed together the other night and he played a game with the baby. She was so active and so responsive, so he pushed on her foot and she pushed back. He pushed on one side of the belly and she pushed back. Then he switched sides and she found him and responded again. It really was surreal and special!
I have a couple more baby showers coming at work and just feel overwhelmed by people's generosity! This baby should be well-taken-care-of!
I must say it's a gift to have her coming near Christmas! It's making it feel more fun to anticipate and prepare for the holidays knowing I'm also looking forward to her arrival! That was a nice gift, Lord, thank you for this timing!
Mom and Oma arrive on 12/21 and my sister Aubry arrives after the new year, so even more goodness to be looking forward to!
Shan is busy with home projects. He's putting in a kitty door at the bottom of the stairs so we can move the cat box to the garage. HE's still working on the baby room with me. I think we're going to just do Christmas lights in the windows this year so he doesn't have to crawl on the roof for me!
I have an OB appt on Tuesday, then one more in 2 weeks, then we're on every week visits. That helps me know her debut is any time! I really can't wait.
Thanks to all who celebrated us with the shower gifts!

love, shan and shauna (and baby applet)
