Our First Baby Shower!!

Well time seems to just be flying by. We had our first baby shower on the 2nd of November at my sisters house in Canada, it was great alot of fun!! We had a nice family lunch first where Ryan, my sisters husband, cooked a nice Turkey dinner. After lunch my sister gave me a gift from my mom, a beautiful white sweater and bonnet to bring Olivia home from the hospital in. My mom had looked at these almost everyday she was in the hospital before she passed away and asked my sister to please go and get 1 for me when Angel and I finally have our baby so that was a very special gift:)

The shower was great a jack and Jill shower and we played some fun games, tasting baby food, YUCK!!, and see who could suck the most water out of the baby bottle, it was hilarious!! Stewart won!! We got to see some great friends who we hadn't seen in a long time, Taralee and Stewart and they have 2 boys Braiden and Jackson, such great kids!! We also got some great gifts for Miss Olivia and also I got a prenatal massage gift so I am excited to have that!! The shower really was fun and we want to Thank everyone again for coming and for the beautiful gifts and Thank you Candy and Ryan for doing such a great job!!!

Things are going great with the pregnancy, I am 8 months now....can you believe it!! We are done our birthing class and our Doctor appointments have been going great. Olivia is growing well and getting bigger. I keep looking at my stomach and thinking well I can't get bigger than this but then a few days later I am bigger!! The only concern we have is I am very Anemic so he's gonna keep a check on that and all it may mean is a transfusion after Olivia is born so I have doubled up on my iron supplement and keep eating all those iron rich foods and hope it will get better! We see the doctor every 2 weeks now and we have our second baby shower this Sunday the 16th at my dear friend Rachel's house:) I am so excited alot of the ladies coming have been with us through our struggle to get pregnant and now they are all so excited for us so it's great to get together with them to celebrate our beautiful little girl Olivia coming:)

Well I think that's it for now I have attached some pictures of the shower, not great quality but they let you see the fun!! I'll update again next week after shower number 2 and our next appointment!!

Thank you all again for going through this journey with us, she's almost here and we can hardly wait!!
