Baby Shower

Okay, so I have totally slacked and not posted about my wonderful baby shower. Dan and Sharryll called me out on this one, haha, so I dedicate this post to them. But, in my defense my family was in town this whole past week. Anyways, the baby shower was so great! I was so lucky to have my mom, sisters (minus Bobbie who is far far away in England), grandma, Andrews mom and two grandmas and aunt all there. Emily and Kathy did such a wonderful job! We got tons of clothes for Jackson- tons and tons! Here are pictures from the day. (I should add a disclaimer, I choose the pictures that were most flattering for everybody. I really tried to get the best ones!)

Overall, the shower was so great! I am so thankful for everyone who came! It was great to have so many friends and family there. I would post more pictures, but the ones that I have are of me opening presents so not very exciting. Haha.

Well, I should probably do a baby update. I am now only a month away from my due date so he can come any day now basically- which would be super fantastic. I go to the doctor every week now. I went on Friday and everything is looking good. They are watching my blood pressure closely because it is kind of high but so far everything else is good. Now if only we could get Jackson to turn and come out! Haha- Andrew has been making me walk so much that my poor feet look like clubs and I now have cankles- sad day. Lol. Thats alright. We are so excited to really be in the home stretch now.

All about Jack

Last night we went to the Jack Johnson concert up at the Usana Ampitheater with Emily and Dylan. It was a BLAST! Can I say that Jack Johnson is a very good entertainer. It was also enjoyable to watch all the drunk people around, it reminded me of going to the Britt Festival in Oregon. When we first got there two drunk guys hit on Emily and I. Mind you this was the beginning of the concert so how they were already drunk I have no idea! Later that night, a VERY VERY drunk girl came up to Dylan while we were sitting in our seats and started dancing around him. It was HILARIOUS!! The other great part was the drunk lady two seats in front of us- she was with her daughter and who we assume was her daughters boyfriend, and the woman was absolutely plastered! Everytime she came back to her seat it was with a different guy. Very funny. Needless to say, the concert could have sucked and we still would have enjoyed just people watching. It was great! We also had some highschool students in front of us (4 of them, 2 guys 2 girls- double date kinda thing). Anyways, we are all very grateful that we are past that part of our life. One of the guys really wanted to hold the girls hand but was too chicken! We were all sure that he would, but he did not. Anyways, here are some cool pictures from the concert.

Before the concert

During the concert while Jack Johnson is singing

Jack Johnson singing (Awesome!)

We all had a lot of fun. I was kind of unsure about being at a concert in August at 8 months pregnant, but it worked out really well. We had seats and so that helped a lot and for most of the concert we were able to sit down. Towards the end, everybody was standing, but I didn't mind, I just stayed sitting- you don't really need to see the person to be able to hear him singing. It was pretty funny, because Jackson was still for most of the concert and then when everybody was clapping and yelling for an Encore I think it scared him half to death because he shook quite a bit and then was moving a lot! I don't think he liked that, but it made me laugh. Also, Andrew thought it would be good for Jackson to have his first concert t-shirt. He found this onesie for Jackson.

In other Jackson news, Friday I had another doctors appointment and everything is still looking good. We are getting down to the final weeks! We are so excited. This week I was only measuring 2 weeks ahead- so I still measured at 35 weeks like I did at my last appointment. My doctor wasn't worried about it because she said baby's grow in spurts so we will have to wait and see where we are at next week.

Baby Registry

So, tonight Andrew decided that we should register at Target for Jackson. We went with Emily and Dylan which was great other than the fact that Andrew and Dylan got trigger happy with the gun. Andrew pretty much registered for everything that he saw so sorry if you see some random things- its all Andrew's fault. I tried to delete the ones that seemed really ridiculous (I won't go into detail as to what those were) but probably failed to get a lot of them off.
Emily and I did learn a good lesson though- NEVER let Andrew and Dylan use the scan guns to register for things- they'll go CRAZY!

Still Measuring Big :(

So today I had my doctors appointment. It was pretty uneventful for the most part, other than the fact that I was measuring 35 weeks and Im only 31 weeks. Not so good. But my doctor didn't seem too concerned by that. Andrew thinks that this means Jackson is going to be a 10 pound baby. Boy, I hope not! That was pretty much it.
Yesterday, Andrew measured me around to see what my circumfrence was- it was 41 inches. Holy Hannah that sounds big! Haha.
I now start going to the doctor every two weeks. Woo hoo the end is nearing!
Well other that that, nothing else is going on. Ill let you know if something exciting happens.
