10-10-10 oh Baby!

I told Ichabod it would be cool if he came today because it's 10-10-10 and he'd be considered full term since I'm exactly 37 weeks. I guess he doesn't think it's that cool of an idea, dang.

On September 24th Aly, Lisa, and Lisa (Aly's mom) threw our baby boy a baby shower! It was so fun to get together with my friends up north. I hadn't seem some of them for over two years, so it was awesome to get to visit and catch up. Thank you all so much for coming and also for the wonderful gifts!! I still can't get over all the cute stuff there is for babies. Now our baby just needs to come out and play so we can use all this fun stuff on him! At the shower we played some funny games...like who can break their water the fastest, and a relay popping balloons...too bad all this water breaking and popping didn't result in real labor, haha. We played the "Guess How Big My Belly Is" game...I must look huge because everyone, including myself guessed that I was bigger than I actually am. For the record I am 37 weeks today and my belly measures 43 inches around. Only 21 days to go, wooHOO! This end stage of pregnancy is SOOO much better than the beginning, the end is in sight!

Aly and her mamasita - look at that cute towel Aly sewed..it's the perfect hoodie towel!

I can't wait to take Ichabod (what will his real name be?!) camping in this adorable outfit, thanks Lisa!

Kaitlin - friends from our freshman year of college in Hawaii...such a fun year in our lives! She is expecting her third in just a few months, go Kaitlin!

Lena & Gina went crazy and got so much cute stuff for da bebe. Thanks ladies! I need to see you more often than every two years please.

Funny story about this quilt - I actually helped sew this up at the Denali Branch about 8 or 9 years ago. We made it for Tracy (Keay) Fonger and her first little boy, Nate. She's passing it on to me now. Also my mom had given Tracy a baby food grinder that my mom had used on me and all of my siblings. That thing has been around forever, I recognized it right away, and now I get to use it for Ichabod!

The whole baby shower weekend was even fun for George because he got to go flying with Mike, Aly's dad. He was in heaven as he spent all Saturday morning at the Mountain Green Airport. They did all kinds of aerobatics in Mike's plane, which he built himself, it's called The Rocket. I've been wanting to get George up there since we got married so I'm glad it finally happened!

A BIG thanks to my girls, I sure love you! And lil Ichy sure is a lucky guy coming to this world where so many people already love him :)
