The Lake

Yesterday we went to Gary and Beth's for a barbecue. Sarah and Brian were home and we were able to meet baby Brogan for the first time. He snuggled right up and took a nap. He is the first baby in 7 years in the Bosch family and I can't wait to add another.

Aaron, Mavis and I (Cody was working) joined the Wald clan at the lake for a few days. The weather was perfect and the company was pretty good too ;)

Avery loved Mavis and I'm pretty sure Mavis felt the same way about her.

Shari was nice enough to throw a baby shower for the baby and I. Once again we were completely spoiled and received all kinds of wonderful gifts. Thanks Ladies!!

Vacation is hard work!

Mavis LOVED the water. She can't swim (it's a bulldog thing) but she sure enjoys the shallow water.

Supper time at the lake.

And of course the belly picture. Can you believe I'm 34 weeks! Only 3 weeks and I'll be considered full term. I can't wait!

Baby Shower!

Today was our first baby shower in Bismarck. My Mom's neighbor Carol hosted it and coincidentally, her daughter went into labor this morning with their first grandchild. She had a baby girl at 12:10 and the shower was at 2:00, so needless to say it was quite a hectic and exciting day for the Millers!!

The shower was very fun and I now realize all of the organizing that needs to be done before this baby comes! Thanks to everyone who came and to those who couldn't make it we missed you!

31 Weeks!

This weekend Mom and Dad (Grandma and Grandpa Wald) came to the cities for uncle Brian's 40th Birthday party. In addition to the party Mom and I were able to fit in a little shopping and made a few purchases for the nursery. The guys chose to skip out on the shopping and played some golf instead. Pretty boring if you ask me! I'd much rather be shopping for the baby.

Our House Guest

This week we had a visitor for a few days, a 9 week-old bulldog. Cody's aunt Carmen bought the puppy from someone in Iowa and Cody picked him up and he stayed with us for a few days. As you can probably tell from the picture, Mavis was not happy about the cute distraction that took away from her non stop attention. We enjoyed our time with Charlie the puppy and we are glad he has made it to his rightful owner.

Aaron and I also went to the Mastel picnic with my Grandma Bosch. Mastel was grandma's mom's maiden name. I visited with some relatives that I had never met and I was able to spend time with relatives that I don't get to see very often. The picture is of Aaron, Grandma, my aunt Beth and uncle Gary, and my cousin Tara.It was fun and I was glad that we were able to go.

29 Weeks!

This week we tried to finalize our registry which was more difficult than I had anticipated. Choosing a stroller or a car seat is tough. We want a sturdy, safe car seat, but not too heavy. We want a fabric with a stylish print and washable. And the choices! There are so many. Well, long story short, we are finally registered and I'm going to try and not change it, at least not too much ;)

28 Weeks!

Not much new going on with us. The baby is growing and kicking ALOT. I am starting to be able to tell the difference between a heel in my ribs and an elbow in my side. I love feeling her move but this little girl has some strength. She really knows how to catch her momma by surprise with a swift kick!

Cody has been very helpful by giving feet and back rubs whenever asked. We went to a breast feeding class last week and he was even able to keep his composure while watching the video full of breasts. He really is growing up!!

Only 12 weeks. We can't wait!

27 Weeks!

Today I had another appointment and everything went well. I passed my glucose test so no diabetes and the baby's heart rate was 154. The doctor said there are no signs of preterm labor and the baby is growing well. I couldn't ask for a better appointment!
