2 Months Till the Official Due Date!

The clock is ticking and my belly keeps getting bigger and bigger with each new day. I am sitting here writing this blog with ice on my feet because yes, my feet are swollen. Typical pregnancy symptoms are starting to kick in. I guess I should feel lucky because they have only started to appear and I have had it pretty darn easy these last couple months. However, the days are getting more uncomfortable and HOT! Bending over and getting up off the couch or floor is slowly turning into a HUGE task! I officially FEEL pregnant. Luckily, I only have approximately two months left of these uncomfortable times.

Besides the comfort issue, I have been hard at work preparing for a baby girl. Kenzie's nursery is coming along quite nicely! We are picking up her crib this week and then waiting on some bedding my mom ordered and it will be ready for her. Of course, she will be in our room for awhile, but there is something about finishing the nursery that makes it feel so close! I also made her a baby blanket last night. IT IS ADORABLE! Daddy helped me with the sewing and we put together a pretty cute blanket for her. I hope she saves it forever. It may not be the best, but it is made with love and care by the two people who love her most in the world.

This weekend we have another shower. A couple's shower! We are VERY excited to spend time with all of our close friends! It will be at Julie S. house and I am sure it will be tons of fun! Just wish Kenzie was here so we could introduce her to all of our friends.....soon enough! I also bought Kenzie's coming home outfit this last week and I must say it is GORGEOUS! I am sure she will look like a little angel in it! Well thats all for now, just a quick little update!

XOXO,

A Blessed Shower for Miss Kenzie

Today was a Really fun day! Aunt Holly and Aunt Nicole threw Miss Kenzie a Beautiful Baby Shower! It was amazing the amount of love that was circulating at the Grey and Pink themed shower. My wonderful sister-in-laws are so creative and pay attention to every little detail making all events that much more special! From the grey and pink table linens to the grey and pink cupcakes it was ALL color cordinated! Adorable. And the gifts....wow what a huge blessing! Kenzie is already stockpiling a pretty great closet! And some cute shoes too! It is so exciting to know that with each shower we are getting closer and closer to the day when Kenzie will actually be here to receive all this love in person! I know you are going to be overwhelmed with love little one. 

Kenzie:

One of my favorite gifts today was your baby memory book that Elaine Toth gave to me. I have already started filling it out and as I was I came across a pretty cool detail. See originally we had been told there was a high chance that you were going to be a boy so we went ahead and picked out a boys name...Your dad and I had decided to name that little boys middle name after your grandpa Donald. We were so excited to tell him and he was very excited to hear that we had chosen that name for him. Well, turned out God wanted us to have a PRECIOUS baby GIRL! So the boy named after grandpa went right out the door, and in came Kenzie. I had never put much thought into what the name meant, we just knew that we liked Kenzie best. Today as I was filling out your baby book it asked for the meaning of your name, this is where the story gets cool. Turns out that Kenzie is scottish and means Handsome. Handsome is ironically the nickname I have called your grandpa since before I can remember. So it turns out his first grandchild will still be named after him. Pretty cool huh? I love him so much and am so happy to have such a huge part of him in your name. 

Can't wait to meet you baby girl,

love mom
