This past weekend was full of excitement! We had two of our couple friends come into town from Lubbock Friday night to begin the festivities on Saturday. My sweet friend Natalie from college drove in from Frisco for the day to be at my baby shower on Sunday. I'm telling you guys she is a gem. 

The first party goin' on was Brads Dudes & Diapers BBQ. One of our friends was so nice to let us use his backyard for the BBQ. I went over early to help get everything set up. We got tons of food including: burgers, boudin sausage, chips, fruit, Brads favorite candy/snacks, and a cookie cake. They literally demolished all the food. Which I am thankful for so it isn't sitting around the house for me to eat. Brad ended up bringing home so many diapers/wipes! I was truly overwhelmed at the love his friends showed him for becoming a new daddy. 

Sunday at 2 was my baby shower! My mom and a few friends refused to tell me what anything was for my shower so I had been looking forward to this day for quite some time. With that said I'll let the picture overload do the talking!

"Ready to pop" popcorn, sour gummy worms and an ombre cake. swoon. 

This is my cravings bar. Greek yogurt with granola, colby jack cheese, fruit,  and more. 

The pink lemonade with patterned straws were my absolute favorite!

Homemade wreath for our door at the hospital!

Brad made an appearance at the end to load everything up. I just love him. 

Us girls relaxing after the shower before Natalie made the long drive home!

We came home with an abundance of things! I have said this so many times since my shower, but I am over joyed by how many people love our little so much without meeting her. Everyone went above and beyond for her and we are so thankful. We had the greatest two days we could have asked for celebrating Brynn. She is the light of our lives and it means the world to us that others think the same. 

Once I can find a spot for everything we got especially the boxes and boxes of diapers I will do our nursery reveal post! Now to start those thank yous! Which I am more than sure I will ball the entire time while writing them.

Baby's size and weight: about 15 inches and 2.7 lbs exact as of today.

My total weight gain: 20 lbs, but Doc walked in saying you gained that much?! Well, you can not tell and Brooke for the win! Way to make a prego happy as can be.  

Baby's development: She can now blink with those beautiful eyelashes I know she has like her daddy, she can see light, and developing tons of neurons. Also, you could totally see the chub she is getting in her 3D ultrasound today. 

Stretch marks: None yet! Still living off my cream. 

Wedding Ring: On. 

Belly Button: In, but the bottom part of where my belly button was pierced sticks out. 

Maternity clothes: You bet! Haven;t really invested a whole lot on any though, mainly used. Oh ya know, still squeezing into all my reg. stuff daily. 

Gender: GIRL!!

Movement: ALL THE TIME!

Sleep: Great, except around 2am I'm wide wake until about 4am.  

What I miss: not a thing here lately. 

Food cravings: Cheesy bread from Little Caesars bringing back my college days, but still wanting fruit 24/7 too so it evens out, right?

Symptoms: Allergies have been all out of wack since LBK decided to join San Angelo with it's weather this past week.  

Nursery: DONE! Minus the books that I will place on the shelves after her shower on Sunday. 

Brad is: The sweetest man alive I am sure of it. So proud of Brynn. He has been doing GREAATTT with my emotions and back rubs. 

What I'm looking forward to: her shower Sunday and all the lovely faces coming from out of town I get to see! To just know it is finally my turn for people to shower my little joy. I am beyond blessed to know people love her so very much and haven't even met her yet. She is a blessed girl, as are we.  

Best moments: 3D ultrasound today. I fell in love 100% all over again with her and the way Brad oozes over her. She kept kicking her feet in front of her face and sucking on her hands. Oh and she was already lifting her long little pinky in the air. Princess or what?! 

-Did my glucose testing today and came back all in the clear! Praise Jesus. I was lucky enough to get the orange one and cold so it was actually not too bad. 

-My sweet friend Ashley also surprised me with a little Starbucks gift to treat myself from the glucose testing today. I have amazing friends y'all.
