New Orleans Shower

My WONDERFUL friend Angie threw me a shower in New Orleans. Im so happy and grateful she did this, I know my grandmother would not be able to make the trip to Houston, neither would she. It was a small gathering, but everyone there was very special to me. I made out with some beautiful hand-made items. See the pics below.

This can also serve as my updated belly pic. Im 29 weeks here.

GREAT friends...Kylei (left) and Angie (right).
Cake (made by Angie).
Hooded towel, Kylei sewed Caleb's name on the hood. She also gave me everything underneath the towel (tub, baby Q-tips, bath toys, travel pack desitin and such for diaper bag, onzies, and a bunch of other great things).
Hand-made burb cloth made by Angie.

Angie also made 2 Saints burp clothes and a Saints blanket, with Caleb's name. A true Saints fan already.
My grandmother made this afganBottles...Im really excited about them...lol Thanks mom!
Pics of the other gifts...My mom got me my complete bathroom shower set, the carrier, a cute rattle, musical soother (for the crib, its not pictured here).After the shower, David and I got to ride Tony's 4-wheeler...so much fun!

Caleb in 3D

David and I decided to get a 3D ultrasound done. It was totally worth the money! We got a CD full of pics, a 20 minute DVD, and some 3D pics that they printed out for us. Here are some of the pics that we were able to take of our baby boy. Hes got mommy's nose and daddy's big toe. We are so in love with this little guy! We've got less than 12 weeks now! I will be 29 weeks on Friday.

He's smiling at you...

This is his right hand and arm by his face. At the bottom of his face, you can see his chest.
Caleb was a bit shy at first.
But we got him to loosen up and give us another smile!

T-minus 90 days!

Its so hard to realize that Caleb's due date is 3 months away! Not much going on with David and I. Got a busy month ahead! We hope to assemble the furniture this month, and maybe decide on a paint color. We have hospital tour to go to and best of all, our 3-D ultrasound is this month! So thats about it for us, Caleb is moving everyday now. Ive attached a belly pic, as you can see there isnt much change, but Im starting to feel that belly ssssttttttttrrrrrrreeeeeetttttttttccccccchhhhhhh (stretch). I measure 43.5 inches around my belly now!

My 1st Pregnancy Rant

Now that my belly has been getting bigger, the clothes are starting to fit a bit more snug. Im now in search for some comfy PJ's. Right now my t-shirts are still working (in another few weeks they wont), but some of the shorts are not. So I start doing some looking online just to see whats out there. I dont like a "dress" to wear to bed...I like a simple shirt and shorts (they dont have to match either). Why is it that EVERYWHERE I look has sleepwear sets with PANTS???? The last time I checked, that majority of pregnant women get HOT very easy. Im already hot natured. There is no way Im wearing PANTS or even capris to sleep in! Who thinks a woman will want to wear this to sleep in???? She would suffocate from heat exhaustion, even if the air is set to 60 degrees! Some women (like myself) are going to be big and pregnant in the heat of summer! Im gonna want to strip to down to underwear in July...lol

Anyways, so there is my rant. I know I'll find something. I'll prolly wind up going to a Goodwill to just find some clothes to get me through...I'll just buy the bigger sizes.
