Tahoe Baby Shower

While vacationing in Lake Tahoe for our annual family get away I was surprised with an amazing baby shower! My sister in law had planned a perfect evening complete with an adorable and delish cake made my aunt Suzy (Suzadaisy Cakes), baby girl cake pops, presents, games and more treats. It was so fun to get to celebrate this little girl coming into my life with the women who mean so much to me! I cannot thank them enough for the fun evening and adorable gifts.

Our Baby Girl

These pictures were from our last ultra sound on July 6th. Jon and I went in to the appointment beyond excited to find out if our little one would be a boy or a girl. Jon's vote was on a boy and mine was on girl..mothers instinct? Not really I just like girly things...a little too much. She was rather shy and I'd like to think modest, she did not want to display herself to us. Finally the nurse had a clear view and announced to us that we were having a little girl, of course we were both in tears. Most importantly she is a healthy little girl and that she is growing and developing right on track! We left the office and headed to the mall (surprised?)...so relieved that our little baby was no longer going to be referred to as baby but as her, she, or baby girl.

So here you go...a little glimpse of her tiny leggy and toes...and her cute side profile with her hand up by her face. Quite adorable I must say.

First let me begin by saying that we are alive.

So where have we been? Well that's another story. We left Texas on July 13th and headed back to Utah. From there we spend a fabulous week at Tahoe boating, lounging, and eating delicious food with my family. Then we flew back to Utah loaded our Uhaul and voyaged to Oregon...our new state of residence. We somewhat moved in...as moved in as one can be in 48 hours.... then got on the road again. We spent a week in Bonners Ferry visiting Jon's fam which was way fun. (I promise more detailed posts will be coming your way soon...equipped with photos and all). So now we are back in Portland playing catch up and getting settled before Jon starts school on MONDAY. Its been quite the adventure and lets just say I cannot wait to stay put for a while and make Portland our new home. And of course get ready for baby GIRL to be here! oh ya PS its a girl :)
