Well, we had our first baby shower on Saturday and it was a blast! We got so many great gifts, now the trouble is trying to find somewhere to put them all! :) Jinx and I were blown away by all the friends and family that have showered us with love and presents for the baby. We are so thankful for everyone's generosity and are warmed by the thought that so many people are anxious and excited to meet our sweet little Adalynn! I want to give a big thank you to Linda, Megan, Alyesse, Mindy, Erin, and Hope for putting on the shower for us!! We also got our crib and changing table/dresser this weekend at the shower. Troy, Jinx's dad, has been working very hard on building our nursery furniture and it looks amazing! I can't wait to post nursery pictures so you can see how awesome it is. The furniture was actually made from a tree out of their backyard - how cool is that! It looks great in the nursery and now that we are getting everything set up for baby's arrival, we are more excited than ever!
We will be working hard this week to get all the gifts put away because we have another shower this Saturday!! :) I can't wait! My sister will be coming in for the weekend, so I'll get to see my sweet nephew, too!
Jinx had a good soon-to-be Father's Day on Sunday! I gave him a card and Krispy Kreme doughnuts(which are a rare treat in our house) and he spent the afternoon at the batting cage. We had lunch with my dad and family and had dinner with his dad and mom. It was a great day! There is something so special about Dads, and we are both very thankful to have Dads that loved us unconditionally, worked hard to provide for us, and sacrificed for our well-being. Thank you, and we hope you both had a Great Father's Day!!
Adalynn is moving around like crazy lately! We can actually see her moving through my stomach, it's crazy! Today we are 29 weeks along and she should weigh about 2 1/2 pounds and be 15 inches long. From this point on I've been asked to keep 'kick counts' to make sure that she is doing alright in there. At least twice a day I count the number of movements or kicks I feel in an hour's time. She should move about 10 times an hour. This helps us monitor how she is doing in there since space is getting increasingly tighter and she is growing by the day. It's crazy to think we only have 11 weeks left! :O She will be here before we know it!
