40 weeks and ready to pop!

Today is Eli's due date!! At my Dr. Appointment a week ago I was 1.5cm dilated and 50% effaced. I go in again tomorrow so I'm excited to see if anything has changed. I'm getting very excited to meet my little boy! Well that's all for now folks. Maybe the next time I post I'll be a mom of THREE!

Oh Baby! 

On Saturday my mom hosted a baby shower 

brunch for me! I totally enjoyed it.. yummy food, good friends/family, and pretty flowers and decoration! (Ha, I put the food as the first thing on the list...can you tell I'm pregnant!?) I did half expect my sister to jump out of a closet for a big surprise.. but I wasn't TOO let down. 

 The baby bumps! Baby Eli on left and 

baby girl Ennis on right. (Bound to marry years down the road.)

 I LOVED these little take home gifts. They were filled with a peep, little eggs and a big milk bordeaux egg from See's candy. Get it--- HATCH. ;)

 Each guest took a guess on when Eli will make his grand appearance. He is due on the 23rd. My Mom who guessed the 4th is obviously not the winner. Sorry Mom.

Everything was so pretty and tasty and fun! I'm so thankful for my sweet friends who came and generously showered us with love!! 

We're almost ALL ready for him to come! Everything is purchased (minus a couple minor last minute things) and the room is coming together. We just need to hang a few things up on the walls and we're good to go! 

COME ON OUT BABY ELI!

Seattle

Tony and I managed to sneak away last Wednesday to celebrate my birthday/have a baby moon. It was wonderful!! 

Since having Ezra, we've never been away over night together. I can't even believe it. I told him we needed to make that kind of thing happen more often, because it was SO nice. We we're just a few blocks up from Pike's Place Market and did a lot of walking. We had a nice dinner, did a little window shopping, and made a pit stop into See's Candy before heading back to the hotel room for the night. From our room we had a beautiful view of the space needle. 

We slept in, ate breakfast in bed, had Starbucks and SUNSHINE two days in a row. All of the walking brought on a day of braxton hicks, but it was worth every second of discomfort. 

It was spectacular!
