My Beautiful Baby Shower!

At the end of October my dearest friend, Terra, honored me with the most beautiful baby shower. Our sweet friends who own a floral studio let us use their space and made me a beautiful flower crown to wear. The theme of the shower was "Welcome to the World," which was just perfect to match Baby Mark's nursery. So many sweet friends came to celebrate our little guy. I'm so grateful for all the wonderful people in our lives who love and care for our family!

Rounding Out

Mark and I found out we were expecting little Mark on May 10th of 2013 and we were OVER the moon! My due date was January 14th, 2014. We told our families around 7 weeks and the rest of the world around 12 weeks.

This is from the day we told Mark's side of the family, during Scott's Infantry School graduation weekend.

 This is the little announcement I made and we posted to Facebook.

I didn't take as many progression shots as I should have, but that's because I spent a lot of time in jammie pants and I didn't really want to show that to the world. ;)

Here are the few I did take.

 

I was blessed with a completely wonderful pregnancy. I never got sick, hardly swelled and really felt great right up until the end! Some of my cravings were buffalo wings (in the first trimester), cajun boiled peanuts and anything sweet. Sweet Baby Mark kicked all the time, had lots of hiccups and was in the head down position for as long as I can remember. Here's hoping that any future pregnancies will be just as lovely. :)
