Well, here we are at 32 weeks. We have been busy the past few weeks with family in town for Easter, two baby showers and lots of preparations to get ready for baby B's arrival. At last week's check up we were told that everything looks to be on track - mommy & baby are healthy and doing well.
Baby Blake is an active little guy, kicking mom quite a bit at night. Sleeps most of the day, as he is probably soothed by the constant movement. Last night we went to see the movie/documentary Earth and he was extremely active, so much so that I contemplated leaving the theater. I think that the loud sounds may have bothered him. He literally squirmed and kicked through the duration of the film. I must say, the volume was ridiculously high, even for me. As soon as we left the theater he settled down, so I am convinced that his movements were a reaction to the overwhelming noise. I think we will forgo the movie theater for the remainder of the pregnancy. Derek went with me, although he wasn't thrilled about this movie, he quite enjoyed it.
At night we love to read and sing to our little guy. We sing to him the lullaby "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" every night before we go to sleep - there are some interesting animals/things that reside on this little farm of ours! Derek likes to feel him move around in my tummy and quite often the baby will react to Derek's touch.
What a fun day I had shooting my maternity pictures with one of the most talented photographers in the Bay Area, Alicia Cervenka at Alicia C Photography (www.ac-photos.com). Alicia also happens to be a close friend of mine. She was so sweet to give me my maternity session as a shower gift. The pictures turned out truly amazing! It will be so nice to be able to share these photos with little Blake one day. I am so grateful to have an incredibly talented friend. Thank you, Alicia, for making this such a memorable occasion!
My San Francisco baby shower took place on a beautiful, sunny San Francisco day! Two dear friends, Vicky and Sacha hosted a very nice party at Vicky's sister's home in San Francisco. It was a whopping 85 degrees+! Great friends, food and fun made it a special event. Derek stopped by at the end to thank all the ladies for the nice gifts! My sister flew up from Southern California which was an extra special treat. My cousins, Shelby and Kimmi came from Sacramento to get in on the action. Baby Blake is a lucky little guy to have received so much love and attention!
My sweet Aunt's,,Christy and Stacey hosted a lovely shower at Christy's beautiful home in sunny San Diego. My family, close friends and a few of my Grandmother's dearest friends attended the party. The best part aside from the special time I got to spend with everyone, was the fact that it was a gorgeous sunny day. We received some very lovely and generous gifts. We are so thankful for all the love and support! Derek made the trip down to spend time with family and some friends of his that live in SD. It was a wonderful weekend!
