Baby Shower





So much fun! The shower was beautiful and everything was perfect. Thanks to everyone who helped put it all together and thanks for the great gifts too. It's crazy how many things a baby needs. I'm so excited to be having a girl; the clothes are just soooooo cute.

The food was awesome too, I think I had 4 pieces of cake...but does that surprise anyone? Also, my cute cousin made cupcakes as gifts for everyone, they were totally gourmet. I wish I would have taken a picture. They tasted as good as they looked.

I had to try and stay seated for a lot of the shower, which was really hard. The night before the shower I was having cramps so I went to the hospital just to make sure everything was okay. They hooked me up to a monitor and apparently I was having contractions. I couldn't feel them, but since I was only about 34 weeks they gave me some shots to make them stop. Of course the one weekend I go out of town something weird has to happen.

Anyways, I'm fine now and have been taking it easy this past week. I went to see my midwife today and she said everything looks great! Don't worry Steph I totally plan on making it to the Britney Spears concert on April 14th.

Snowshoeing

Let me start off by saying this is a very safe activity, maybe even safer than walking since I was surrounded by deep, fluffy snow (so don’t worry mom.) I must say at first I wasn't thrilled about going, but Ben really wanted to go. It seems like everything we do these days begins with the rationalization..."I want to go before the baby comes.” It’s like we’re in a race to live as much as we can before the baby.

Anyways, it was tons of fun and great exercise. It’s like you’re on the stair master and you can’t get off even if you want to. The pictures were in taken in the Uinta National Forest, near Park City. It was so beautiful and I highly recommend it. Next I’m going to try cross country skiing, but don’t worry I’ll wait until after the baby :)
