35 Weeks and Maternity pics
Maternity Pics will be coming soon! Maria (SIL), was wonderful enough to take maternity pics of David and I yesterday. THANKFULLY we did not go out at 3pm! We took our outside shots at 9am, which it was still pretty warm..lol But Maria was awesome! She let me know when to wipe the sweat off my face, and to let me know when to apply more powder. I cant wait to see how they came out!

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.

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!

The crib with the bedding.

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 afgan
Bottles...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!
