Fun with the Family

Mom and Dad..Lauren we need to work on how you focus with my camera!

Playing with Addison's bows was very funny!

Making jalapeno bacon stuffed shrimp..yum!

David's first time to peel shrimp

Addison's hairbows can also be worn in other ways

Belly Shots

So we didn't just get a picture of me with all of this baby bump glory..I always forget. But some pictures were taken where you can definetly see what I currently have going on. All of these are at the start of 32 weeks for me. We are getting closer!

This last one is a little blurry, but you can still see what you need to.

The Baby Shower

This past weekend my sisters, niece, Sandy and Amy threw a shower for me back home. Mom claimed not to be a hostess, but she also did a ton so technically I think she was. It was a great shower with so many wonderful gifts. I'm pretty sure Addison has a bigger wardrobe than I do now! The pictures are not necessarily in the order I want them in, but I'm still figuring this blog stuff out.

The gift table had onesies, bibs, etc. attached to it..super cute!

The gift from the hostess's a Glider for the nursery! I'm so excited about this..and look there's a belly shot too.

All of the hostesses (L to R) Amy, Mom, Me, Abby, Lauren, Sandy, Rachel, Kelsey

Us Duncan girls with my Aunt Sandy (my dad's sister)

The gift table..pre shower otherwise you would not be able to see it. It was covered!

Instead of cake we had cupcakes and they turned out so good..so much fun! And very colorful. Delicious too I might add I may have had a couple after the shower : )

Of course there was a fabulous Diaper cake (complements of Lauren with some help from the rest). I don't know how I'm going to take it apart! Luckily it's size 2 diapers so maybe I won't have to for a little bit.

This thing has everything from bottles to pacifiers, washcloths, hairbows, socks, and I'm sure more that I just haven't found yet!

There are a ton of pictures, but that would make for a crazy long blog so I stuck with just some details!

Why do you want weird things while pregnant??

Sorry this post will be without pictures, but I will be putting up a couple more here shortly. I have a couple of post that involve pictures I just have to take the time to drop them into my computer from my camera. I forget about that sometimes!

Either way all of a sudden I am craving random things that I never in my life have thought of or wanted or haven't had in ages. Luckily I still do not have a single craving at random times during the night and I don't necessarily have to eat what I'm craving when I crave it I just keep thinking of random things that sound good that normally wouldn't. A big one is peanut butter and banana pancakes. Dad used to make us peanut butter and banana sandwhiches when we were kids, but now I only want that on pancakes. I woke up before 6 this morning wanting that which means Jed had a good breakfast this morning too! Apricots are another one..again not sure why, but it was all I could do not to buy 4 different types of apricot jelly in the store the other day (mainly because they were gourmet and $6 a jar..yikes) and just settle for the canned kind. And those were delicious! Lucky charms I could eat at every meal..I'm not kidding it could be all that I have even though I'm not supposed to do that. I also have no desire for meat anymore I try to eat it and yeah not so much. Which is fine with me since I'm not a huge fan of it anyway!
I just wonder if these are things that I will keep wanting after she arrives! Although the peanut butter banana pancakes are delicious I must say I will probably still want that!
Either way I should finally have some updated belly bump shots seeing as how my sisters like to tell me how much I grow daily..makes a girl feel so good inside : )
Addison is super active these days especially when certain people talk to her or when her cousin Kelsey sings Beyonce's All the Single Ladies...it's starting already!

Next post I will not ramble I'll have pictures!!

Our First Real Peek..

About three weeks ago we got to take the 4D look at little miss Addison. It was a little surreal to see her so clearly..technology has come a long way!! My two sisters and my niece got to share the experience with us and we all fell in love with her fat cheeks! Right now it looks like she has her daddy's nose and mouth. He swears he doesn't see this but anyone else who has seen these mentions that right off! I guess we will find out soon enough..

You will have to excuse the cord that she has up by her face. It made it a little difficult to get a full shot of her, but this was as good as we could get her to cooperate!

Only 9 weeks left before we get to meet her!

It's a start!

After putting this off for a while I figured it was time to go ahead with the blogging with Addison on the way! With so many friends and family in so many different locations this will make it easier for us to keep everyone up to date with us..if you really want to be kept up to date! Mainly this will allow all Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and then some to really be up to speed with Addison because Jed and I will not really matter much once she arrives : )

So hopefully I get this figured out..enjoy!!
