Maternity Photos

We have an outstanding photographer and she did a great job - can't wait for the newborn shoot! (Hopefully that will be very soon indeed)

Olivia's First Party

My little girl has already had her first party in her honor and she isn't even here yet! How spoiled! I'm very lucky to have my best friend who threw a shower for me with just some close friends and family - it was delightful and a wonderful time was had by all. Here are the pictures: 

 The feast! My absolute favorite cupcakes - chocolate with peanut butter frosting, yum yum

 Mingling

 Baby hot potato - I was the first one out!

 Me and my dear - I just noticed my belly is totally encroaching on her space LOL. Not much I can do about it anymore :)

 Linda! I was so happy she came all the way from Austin to celebrate with us

 Kenan came over at the end to say hi and help with presents

 Grandmas!

Erin, me and Val - quite the trio! :)

...and a Happy New Year

In the top five of my favorite foods in the world (best Tex Mex ever, Papa Gallos)

Merry Christmas!

New Truck

After 11 years it was time to get a new truck, especially since our little girl will be riding around in it. We wanted to make sure we bought it before she arrived and it got here a few days ago:

3D Ultrasound

We heart technology and all of our fellow geeks - this week we especially appreciate advancements in ultrasound imaging technology, because we got a very good look at our sweet little angel on Tuesday during a 3D ultrasound. Here are a couple of the highlights:

 Mouth open

 Chubby cheeks! (Wonder where that might have come from...)

 Smiling, she must have been having a sweet dream

 Side profile - you can see her hair in this one, the technician said she has a lot of hair already so no bald baby here!

Criss-crossed feet like a little lady

She even opened her eyes, which we didn't discover until we played back the video they gave us. It looks a little bit like she can see into your soul :)

 This last one is a really good one of her face

We just can't wait to meet her and hold her in our arms.

Christmas Party!

We had lots of fun at the USAA Christmas party last night and I can't believe I made it all the way until the end - we even stopped for a snack on the way home! My feet are protesting today though.

 At home in front of our pretty tree

 The Alamodome - Huey Lewis and the News were great!

 The ladies

 Yep, I had changed from heels to sneakers at this point

We hadn't even talked to each other about it but we wore the same dress! Fun times...we are due only 10 days apart!
