8 Weeks to go....

Well it's hard to believe we have less than 2 months to go until we get to meet Baby Frericks. The time has flown by for sure.

Last weekend, we had a full but fun weekend. My mom and sister-in-law came to town for our Nashville Baby Shower. We had a great time and got a lot accomplished in a short time. We officially have our stroller (which is a travel system that includes car seats and bases) and also our nursery glider (thanks to my nephews for letting us have it).

Sunday my amazing friends threw me a great Baby shower. We came home with so much loot it is wonderful. Now if we could just get our nursery furniture in and set up, we will really feel like we are ready. Hopefully we can get that taken care of next weekend. Here are a few pics from the baby shower:

The cute invitation....

Welcome signs for Baby "Bigfoot" of course...

We went back to the doctor last week and everything checked out great. I measured right on track again and don't worry...I am still gaining weight. We go back every two weeks for a month and then it's down to every week.

Baby Frericks is moving and kicking like a champion. I think he/she is running out of room b/c they are constantly moving all over and pushing out on my stomach. It is really fun and surreal to feel. If Baby F is as active outside the womb as he/she is right now....we are going to have our hands full!

Really starting to stick out...

Large and in charge...

Our next appointment is the week before Labor Day. More updates soon...

P.S. The links below take you to the pics from my Soccer Shower and the shower last weekend...enjoy!

Less than 10 weeks......

We have had an exciting week this week. It started with our trip to Chapel Hill, NC to visit the Boyle Family. We had a blast and Baby Blake is adorable. It was great experience getting to see what having a one month old is like but really she is so well behaved and quiet I don't think we got a true taste of it. We did get to witness her first swim in the pool and she loved it! Here are a few pics of Tom holding and feeding Blake. She was so quiet with him and we think it is b/c he is like a king size bed - perfect for sleeping! She did of course have a few poppers and nice poopy diaper while he was holding her...so he quickly passed her back to Mommy Cori.

She was so content on her big "king size" arm...

When we got home Sunday afternoon, I was treated to my very first Baby Shower with all of my Brentwood Premier soccer girls and mom. Big thanks to Mrs. Gunn and Mrs. Hunter for hosting and thanks to all of my wonderful soccer families for the great gifts. Tom and I have quite the collection of gender neutral onesies, bibs, sleepers and towels...and they are all great! I also have to give Credit to Shannon Boone who so creatively made the gift in the picture below out of diapers, onesies, towels and washcloths. Impressive huh? She should give up the whole soccer thing and focus on Baby gifts!!

How cute is this Diaper Cake...and she made it!!!

Well, we are officially less than 10 weeks away from the arrival of Baby Frericks. As always the belly is growing and growing as you can see in the picture below. We are getting very excited and can't wait to get the nursery set up and ready. Our furniture comes in at the end of the month so I am counting down the days.

30 1/2 weeks.....the belly button is hanging on for dear life...

We have another shower next weekend hosted by our amazing friends and then our next appointment on August 18th. More updates to follow...
