Showered with Love

As time gets closer to Dylan's arrival, I think to myself, we are REALLY about to have a baby boy at our house! :) We are very excited, but I truly don't think we will understand the magnitude of it all until it happens! We had our 34 week OB checkup yesterday and it went great. I got to ask lots of questions about labor, delivery, etc. and she answered them all. I just hadn't thought of several different things until we went to the Saturday Childbirth class at Baptist LR. It was very informational, and I would recommend it to any 1st time mom and dad-to-be. Here is a picture of me yesterday, 34 weeks complete: 7-23-09

This past Sunday was my church shower. I will say that the Levy Church of Christ is a very giving and compassionate congregation. I was truly overwhelmed by the generosity of them all. It was a lot of fun, but boy was I tired by the time I finished opening gifts! I spent all day Monday laying on the couch resting and Tuesday getting to work in that nursery! I washed clothes, blankets, bibs, and burp cloths but I have it all ready for him. I just washed newborn and 0-3mos outfits for now, but it all smells so good. You gotta love Dreft Baby Detergent! It was so much fun putting all of those things away. We still have to put together the swing, bouncer, etc., but I needed Jonathan to help with that. Hopefully we can do that this weekend.

I spent some time with my mom and sister yesterday afternoon. It was my mom's b-day! Happy Birthday Mom! My sister was at Williams-Sonoma earlier in the day and found candy bars wrapped in packaging by Dylan's Candy Bar. She bought 2 for me and the back had a website on it. I went and looked, and let me tell you, it was SO COOL! It is the largest candy store in the world and the main location is downtown NYC. You can order candy, clothes for adults, babies, and kids, bags, purses, jewelry, stuffed animals, and it all has the logo Dylan's Candy Bar on it. I am going to get several things for sure! I was so excited that my sister found these candy bars. If you want to take a sneak peek it's: dylanscandybar.com

That's all for now, my sister and I are going to the American Idol Tour Saturday night at Verizon Arena. We are excited to see Kris Allen in his home state of Arkansas! (Yes we are a little nerdy!) Have a great weekend! Rachel
