Baby Shower!

My Aunt Patti and my sister Brittany threw us the most beautiful baby shower this weekend! We had a great time and got some wonderful gifts for our little Brooklynn. I had a few pictures taken on my camera, but my dad's camera has most of them (which I haven't gotten from him yet). So here are just a few pictures from the shower!
We all know my Mother in Law thinks I am huge.

Me with the spread before everyone started eating. The food was so good!

My Mom (Nana to Brooklynn) and me.

Kim and I. I was so glad to have all of the Rasmussen girls come to the shower!

Nate came to help open presents.

Sarah totally won the baby game.

Us with some of the presents for our little Brooklynn!

Heidi and I.


Gerber Daisies are my favorite!

Thank you to everyone who came! We are truly so blessed!

32 weeks

Just a quick baby update. I had a regular appointment yesterday. Everything still looks great. My weight gain is right on track. and I measured at 31.5 weeks, which depending on which due date you go by is perfect.

We also had our first childbirth class last night. It went really well. I am slightly more overwhelmed now, just because of how close the big day is. I still can't believe that in 8 weeks or less I will be holding our little girl in my arms!

sleep... and weekend wishes (updated)

Well it is Friday! Quite possibly my favorite day! I thought I might make a weekend wish list to share with all of you. As my days left of being pregnant are numbered, I figure my lists will get longer and longer and fewer things accomplished once she gets here. So let's see how I do this weekend.
  • Scrapbook at least SIX pages!
  • Put out Fall Decor.
  • Get envelopes for Thank-You's.
  • Pick up my Bountiful Basket and meal plan for next week. (meal planning could be a challenge as our week looks pretty busy!)
  • Get Brooklynn's shower head installed.
  • Finish chapter one of Crazy Love
  • Have an awesome meeting with LifeGroup girls! So excited to have seniors!
  • Look for a valance and a rug for Brooklynn's room. Oh and shelves. Possibly make an IKEA run. (next weekend)
I think that makes for a busy enough weekend. Especially running on less and less sleep. I feel tired a lot more lately. I guess that just means she is coming soon! 8 weeks left until we meet her!
