SURPRISE!!!!!!!

David and I were BOTH very surprised to walk into our baby shower at my MIL's house this past Sat. We were under the impression to be taking maternity pictures. Latrell, Maria (SIL), and Mamita (MIL), pulled it off and were great liars! Maria actually made be believe that we would be doing outside maternity photos at 3pm on a Sat. in Houston weather (its 100 every day)! How could I have fallen for that?! Im very blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. Maria, being the awesome photographer that she is, took some AWESOME pictures at the shower.

Instead of cake, we had cupcakes....they were SO delicious!!!!

Just a few of the decorations put up. My old co-workers from ION (from the left, Barbara, Stephanie, Me, Latrell, and Nicole (neighbor). I MISS YOU GUYS EVERYDAY!!!!!

The favors...so cute!
David, just hanging out.

Just 45 days left

So Ive only got 45 days left til Caleb's due date. I dont think reality has set in yet, but my nerves are turning to excitement! God has truly blessed me with an uneventful pregnancy, but I think in return I need to make it through this HEAT! LOL

The Houston weather is starting to get to me. We havent had any rain in at least a month I think. The temps have been in the high 90's with a heat index in the 100's. Todays forecast said to expect temps at 100 degrees! Im really trying to make sure I stay hydrated, which is becoming harder to do. Everyday when I come home I find the lightest pieces of clothing and sit next to the fan...lol I have a feeling the heat is also suppressing my appetite. I find myself just wanting a bowl of cereal for dinner, nothing thats hot!

I had a doctors appt. last week and Ive only gained 12 pounds this whole pregnancy, but my belly is measuring right on track. Im having some slight hip pain at night, but thats normal. I also have the occasional lower back ache. The problem is solved by putting a pillow on my back when I sit down. Im trying to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night, and even when I do I still feel tired all day. They say that 1st trimester symptoms can come back in the 3rd. I was tired in the 1st, so I guess the fatigue has decided to show up again. I think Caleb is head down now, Im starting the feel the inside rib kicks more often, and when he has the hiccups I usually feel them in my left hip bone. Its VERY entertaining and I love it!

Every afternoon David comes home and talks to Caleb. As soon as David puts his mouth next to my belly, Caleb moves to him and pushes on his face. Its a wonderful feeling knowing that Caleb really does know the sound of daddy's voice. I cant wait for Caleb to be born just to see David interact with him....I know he will make an EXCELLENT father, because he already is. I love you babe!
