Houston Baby Shower & more!

I left for a visit to Houston on March 20.  I was so excited to come back because we were gathering everything for our baby boy!  Plus I just love seeing friends and family :)  That is always the best part!

On Sunday March 24th my sweet Aunts (Janie, Paula, Molly and Maureen) along with my sister in law, Carole, threw me an incredible baby shower.  Everything was beautiful and they did such and amazing job with all the details!  I really appreciated everyone who came out to spoil our little guy!  He received nearly EVERYTHING we needed from our friends and family, making all his belongings so special.  He is truly blessed to have so many kind people who love him already.  I was overwhelmed with the kindness.  Love you all who made it out (and of course those who couldn't!)

Here are so pictures of the big day... I was 19 weeks pregnant at this point.

So much fun!  The whole trip was amazing!  I got to see so many friends and family :)  We had the Peltier Brothers Company Picnic, Easter and lots of dinners and lunches out with friends.

Lauren, Tim and Baby Grant---

Before we left Houston we got to celebrate the engagement of Amy and Patrick!  I am so happy for the both of them and know they will have a beautiful wedding and marriage.  Unfortunately, I am not going to be able to attend because I will be having a baby that week!  The party was so much fun and I really enjoyed hanging out with everyone-- even if I was the only sober one there :)

It was so much fun!  The next day Brian and I left for Kansas to visit the Kings.  It was so nice and relaxing and we had fun catching up with everyone.  I dont have any pictures from this portion of the trip, I hate when I do that!

Our whole stay in America was great and we really needed one last visit before the little boy gets here!  Next time we will travel will be with the baby! Ah I cant believe it!

Since we got back, our Air freight has arrived!  We started getting the babies room set up and Im loving it so far!!  Now all we need is the little one!

Baby Boy King :)

Hello all, I havent been very good with my blog updates so Ill do a few in the next few days!  First thing first...

We're having a baby!!!!  That is old news to most people but thought I needed to add it to my blog :)  Our sweet little boy is due August 18th and we couldn't be happier!

I am now 24 weeks along and am enjoying feeling him toss and turn and kick me!  He especially loves when I eat anything sweet!  All my appointments have gone very well and so far he seems to be a healthy growing boy!  I will deliver here in Australia at the Epworth Freemason Hospital where they keep you there for around 4 nights even if you have a smooth pregnancy.  They make sure you are confident with all the basics, breastfeeding, bathing, changing etc before they send you out on your own.  I think Ill appreciate that considering I don't have a clue at this point how to do any of that!  My mom and (possibly) dad will come around the time he arrives, unless he comes super early but we cant know that yet!

All and all I am having a fantastic pregnancy!  I am loving it and feeling great!

I will leave you with a few first photos of our little guy...

ITS A BOY!!!

love this, giving me a good ole kick! :)
