Baby Shower May 31, 2009

Grace's baby shower was held at Paddy's Pub in Milwaukee, WI on May 31, 2009. My Mom (Debbie), Sister (Jessie), Step-Sister (Julia), Sister-in-law (Kristin), and Mother-in-law (Karen) all threw me a baby shower to celebrate the soon-to-be baby Grace! It was a beautiful day and everyone had a lot fun. I wanted to share some photos that my Aunt Mary took during the shower. She is a wonderful photographer and did such a great job taking pictures. I had so many it was so hard too choose which ones to post. Here are just a few....

Here are some of the photos of our guests enjoying themselves. Thank you all for attending the shower and for the very generous and wonderful gifts!!!

Go Badgers!!!!

Jon's cousins Peter, Amy and Zac are the biggest badger fans in the state and every year we go to visit them and also try to get to a badger game. To get Grace in the badger spirit they got her this cute outfit and we cant wait to bring her to her first game! Thanks PAZ for the great gift see you in the fall! :-)

Surprise Shower.....

Our friends Kurt and Sarah, Elizabeth and Garrett, Mindy, and Lauren and Andre threw us a surprise shower when we went to visit them in Ohio in March. It was such a wonderful surprise and they got us many nice gifts to help prepare the soon to be parents. Thank you all very much it meant the world to us!!! :-)

Grace's Room Phase I....

Here are some photos of Grace's room without her furniture or any decor quite yet. We should be getting her furniture the second week in May and can start to really get things organized and ready for baby Grace's arrival. Jon and our friend Jeremy painted the room and they did such a great job!

Here is Grace's decor for her room waiting to be set up, as you can see we went with stripes, polka dots, and flowers. Hope she likes pink and green! :-)

My belly and Grace continue to grow....

Here I am at 28 weeks and counting!! Grace and I are doing very well. My ankles are already starting to swell up and I now have kankles as Jon likes to call them. I have been wearing compression stocking to help with that to eliviate some of the pressure. I have my next doctors visit this week so we will get to hear Grace's heart beat again. She has been moving around like crazy lately and Jon has even had a chance to feel her move. I think she has her father's energy!!! :-)
