Gavin

Nate and I went to another check up ultrasound appointment and the girl gave us more of the 4D pictures. He looks different than the last ones I posted, but still so handsome! He now weighs 4 pounds, 3 ounces and she said that is not big or small, it is more on the small side of average. She also told us that it looks like he has a small head and that is always good!! I can feel him moving around a lot now. I feel like he is tumbling and jerking his body all over the place. I am going to go back on July 31st and they will tell me how much he weighs at that time and it should be pretty close to what his birth weight will be. These weeks are starting to fly by. . .

Once again, he has his hand right by his face. I think he has had a hand by his face every time we have seen him. He looks stressed out.

My Baby Shower

This past Saturday I had my baby shower and it was absolutely perfect!! (Thanks to my mom, my sister, Max, Kristin, Allison, and Xavs) Everything was decorated so cute, the food was awesome, and we had a lot of fun. Gavin got so many nice gifts and it is so exciting.

Amy painted the letters to spell Gavin's name to put up in his room. She also made chocolate suckers in the shape of pacifiers and footballs (on the counter). I don't know where she finds the time to do all of the fancy stuff and take care of Taylor! Everything was matching and looked so cute! Thanks Amy


This was the salad bar that was put together and they had everything you can think of as a topping. There was different toppings on both sides of the counter and it was good. Amy also made the matching polka dot tablecloths.


This clothesline had a bunch of summer outfits for Gavin! Thanks Mom


The cake was adorable and it was delicious! It had little bees on it to match the bees on the wall in his room






This is what Gavin's room looks like now...a complete wreck! I have a lot of work to do when I am off this month.

There was so much going on and we got so busy that I never got a picture with my mom. We will have to take one and then I will post it later.

TAYLOR

Amy came over and we put Taylor in the pool at my mom's house. She absolutely loved the water. She was all relaxed and didn't really fuss at all.This is Taylor before she got in the pool. She is very stylish in her sunglasses and bathing suit!

CLASS BABY SHOWER

The kids in my class decided to have a surprise baby shower in the classroom for me, but as you know, kids are not that great at keeping secrets! One of the girls made cute invitations on her computer and passed them out and some of the kids forgot them right on top of their desks that day. Anyway, two parents came at lunch time to drop off the cake and decorations and they said when they got to the classroom, the kids were in there alone and looked like animals! They were standing on the desks and hanging things from the ceiling and so the parents decided to stay and supervise until I got there after lunch. It turned out really cute and they were so excited. I got a lot of toys and clothes for Gavin!!


They also decorated the board and wrote stuff all over it. They wrote Gavin's name with a "b" instead of a "v"








This was a doll that one of them brought from home and had the whole class sign. I told them this doll is really freaky and Gavin won't be playing with that.

So I haven't taken the time to put anything new on my blog in about a month and now I am going to catch up all at once. There has been a lot going on, so I have a lot of pictures to post!!
