7 weeks & 3 days to go till D-DAY

So, I have lots to share this time around. A lot has been going on the last two weeks. First, Nicole & Kendra threw me a fun co-ed baby shower. They made yummy pulled pork sandwiches, cole slaw, pasta salads and all kinds of snacks. We had friends old and new that live here in Vegas celebrate with us for the coming of Elliana. Elliana will definitely be sporting some nice fashions her first 6 months. She has received some ADORABLE newborn through six months outfits. Mom can't wait to dress her. It was perfect weather so, the fellas watched some golf and played darts in the garage. Ryan takes good care of keeping "HIS" garage in tip top shape...since, he says that is the only place in the house that is his space. He jokes that I have taken over all the house...haha!
The same weekend of my Vegas shower was Mother's Day and for a gift I got my mom a flight to share the weekend with me. We RARELY get to spend quality mother/daughter time anymore and obviously being pregnant I have been PFENNIG for some good QT with mama. We enjoyed a mother's day brunch on Sunday at the Country club where Ryan works...it was very fancy! Overall, it was to short visit but definitely a well needed bonding weekend.

We are still attending birthing classes weekly...we have two more to go. Our last being May 31. We are skipping this weekend due to scheduling conflicts with the other couple in our classes. The classes are helping. We have learned all about labor and all the different things that can happen. She teaches us breathing and mediation skills to help redirect the pain. Really, the class is to prepare you for EVERYTHING that could occur.

I wanted to include the link for the hospital we are registered at

Enjoy all the pictures! I have been feeling good and baby is moving a lot. Starting to get hot here and the feet are starting to swell. Nothing to worry to much about. Next Doctors appt. is next Friday, May 23!
