Baby Shower, Auto Show & 30 weeks!

The last two weeks were busy weeks.  A week ago had our first baby shower with a great group of friends and family.  We felt so blessed by all the gifts and encouragement by seeing everyone.  My only regret is not being able to talk with everyone as much as I'd like.  I only got to see my parents for a brief time, so it was sad to have to take off. 

So happy to have Cindy, Christine, and Loice there for the shower.  I was their nanny during college and they were also our sweet little flower girls.  They are not so little anymore!  

 

 After the shower and very tired.  I feel like the picture should have 

been planned for before I was tired and emotional.  Oh well.  After having the 

shower, we definitely feel more prepared for the baby coming!  Thank you everyone for coming and celebrating with us, but most of all thank you to our main hosts: Mom, Connie, and Diane!

Yesterday, we went to the Chicago Auto Show for the second year in a row.  I loved it last year and was super excited to get to go this year as well.  It's a lot of fun to have so many different types of car to look at and sit in as well as to gawk at!  It makes comparing the vehicles a lot easier as we think ahead to when we might need a new car.  But mostly, it is just a day of fun to walk around together and enjoy seeing the cars. Our favorites to see were Volkswagen, Honda, Ford, and Jeep.  We also had fun looking at the crazy Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Ferrari, and Lamborghini.  I absolutely love how the new Beetle looks and even though I can't get it, Jon says it can be my old lady car for the future.  Who knows where we'll be in the next year, but I'm sure wherever we are, we will continue going to auto shows, whether big or small. 

Honda Ev-Ster: quite the futuristic car with cockpits and a joystick steering wheel.  

We got to meet Aaron and Richard from the Discovery show Fast N' Loud.

30 weeks

...and feeling pretty good!

There's a bun in that oven!

This was a fun picture taken by my cousin Blythe on Christmas day.  It's funny how I felt big that day, I look at myself now and realize wow, the baby's grown in the last two months!
