Busy Week

It has been a really hectic week. Mom's funeral was Tuesday, it was a nice service and I'm just glad she has peace now. Sometimes it doesn't seem real that she's gone. Even though we hadn't been very close in the last few years because of my stepdad, I miss her, I had hoped that we might become closer again and that she would be able to see hergrandson. But, life has unexpected turns sometimes. I think Mom would have been so impressed to see all of her family together at one time just for her. The timing was just amazing, we had family that we hadn't seen in a while that were able to visit and just lots of little things that brought everyone together at the same time.

Thank you to all of you who sent cards or flowers or called with words of sympathy, support, and prayers. My MK unit even donated about $200 in Mom's name to the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation, that will be used for cancer research. We are so blessed to have friends and family like all of you, thank you so much!

Dennis and I did go to Eureka Springs on Wednesday and came back on Friday. It was not a long enough break, but it was nice to have some time to ourselves and I think we both really needed it after the previous days we had.

This was our really yummy shower cake!

Dennis is practicing holding Grace while Morgan and David hang out with them.
I'm feeding David, look how huge I've gotten!!

Saturday was our baby shower. It was so nice to see lots of friends and family there and to open all kinds of baby goodies. It lightened up the weekend after the previously heavy one. We are almost all ready for him to get here, just have to get a few little things and we're set. Dad, Nancy, and Marie decorated the nursery while we were in E.S., it is really cute! I have everything from the shower put away now and clothes all washed, we're on the home stretch and getting excited! Shawn and Morgan and the babies, David and Grace made it from Edmond for the shower, too, we so enjoyed getting to visit with them and looking forward to the next time we get to visit.

I had a doctor appointment today, we are right on track and doing good. I have fat feet now, they have just started swelling since it got really hot last week, but doc says it's normal with the heat and I've been doing good so far on that. Fatigue is starting to kick in again, but not near as much as the first trimester. The boy is upside down in position, he won't have room to flip over now, so that's a good thing. I can tell which way he faces when I feel around on my belly and when he moves. He gets the hiccups a lot, too. I can't wait to see the little guy!!
