Presents

Most of the girls were gracious enough to get me gift cards so I won't have to move as much to Texas but here's a preview of some of the adorable gifts I did receive...


What every baby needs ... cowgirl boots! She may not be raised in Texas with all our moving but she'll be Texan born and that lives on forever :)

Neatest Diaper Caddy Ever

Not to mention Britney Suggs is my best friend and I love her more than any person, minus Jonathan, and I will miss her everyday! (she made me put that)



Reading the poem Jonathan wrote and put in a surprise present for me



Best present by far, Soccer shoes from her daddy!!!

VA Baby Shower

Well yesterday I had my first baby shower with some of my closest friends here in VA; it was also kind of a going away party since I won't see most of them before we hit the road in a few days. Our first game we played was the toilet paper game where everyone had to guess how much toilet paper it would take to go around my belly... some of my friends think I'm HUGE while others were right on target :)


Sally's guess



Dana's guess, 4 squares too many if I recall

In the end the two gals I spend the most time with got the closest, Erin only had two extra pieces while Brit was the winner with the EXACT amount, 10 squares... thanks girls for proving I'm still somewhat small! I guess it pays to see my growing belly everyday :)


Erin's guess, 2 squares too many



Brit's PERFECT guess!

Cord Blood Registry

Well hello everyone, I will be updating this again after my first shower/party on Sunday - yeah I am so excited!! I wanted to take a moment to tell everyone about a new registry I started. I want to tell everyone about it in case anyone would like to consider contributing to our registry but also to educate other friends/family and other expecting friends about cord blood banking. Jonathan and I have decided to bank our little ????'s cord blood through CBR. We both find the research into stem cells promising with the many diseases they already cure and the potential future diseases they'll cure. Please take a moment to view our registry and find out more about cord blood banking under our registry tab on the left. Oh, and all our registries are now reflecting TX instead of VA incase anyone else has problems looks us up. And if any expecting friends want to sign up for cord blood feel free to call me and I'll tell you about it and put you in touch with the same rep I am working with... plus I get a free year of banking :) Be in touch...
