Baby Shower!!!

Here are some pictures from my baby shower that friends Amy, Mindy, and Rachel threw for me at Wilsons' barn last Saturday. Look how cute everything is! Love all the details and colors and the food was so awesome. Can you believe all the gifts?!

Thank you, girls, for such a wonderful shower, and to everyone for coming!!!

• Amazed that I'm already in the last quarter of this pregnancy!

Week 29

Week 27 picture

Sorry - not the best. But at least you get a peek.

Week 27

**I forgot to take a picture before I got in my jammies to eat and watch tv in the hotel. (Traveling for work.) Will post soon, or it'll be next week's photo!**

• Carpal tunnel acting up again.
• Still loving to watch my stomach move when baby moves.
• Pretty sure baby (and I) grew a bunch between Wednesday and Thursday.
• Feeling super tired again. Was hoping the iron supplement would help some. But nope.
• Finding it more difficult than I expected to let other people carry/pick up/move stuff for me.
• Something like a pinched nerve is going on in my lower back. Hits me quickly and sporadically, and I actually make an audible noise of being in pain.
