Sorry its been so long.............

I must apologize for this taking so long. I have been so busy and for a while our computer was not working. I now feel like life has some what slowed down and I have a moment if only briefly. I wanted to thank all our friends and family for our wonderful baby shower and Gwynn's second birthday. We all feel so blessed to have such a great and wonderful group of friends and family.

Our baby shower was so wonderful and I have to hand it to Bri, Tarah and Brook for all their hard work. I definantly feel so blessed and happy to have such wonderful best friends. It was by far one of the best showers I have ever attended. It was good for both the guys and gals. There was an open bar, great food and a fun atmosphere. I think the guys seemed to have the most fun. Our new little one is also completely set for an entire year. We received every thing off our registry and what we didn't get we received money for. Thank you all so much for all the wonderful gifts we truly do appreciate it more then words can say! I know this little guy is set!

We also had Gwynn's birthday party the same weekend on Sunday. Gwynn also was spoiled beyond comprehension. She had thirty five guests at her second birthday. It was such a wonderful day out we all got a little muddy but it was a blast. We all enjoyed mini hamburgers, wonderful salads (especially the potato salad provided by Sherry, thanks!) and lots of treats. Gwynn had chocolate cupcakes "her favorite". Gwynn received a ton of clothes, (first by Brook of course a years worth and more by the rest of our family and friends), toys, all very good quality, books, art project goods, money for her college fund and much more. I also was so pleased with her scrapbook it turned out so cute and I am sure she will love it for years to come. I myself have found myself enjoying scrap booking due to this little activity. I think its fun when you have a little one to make pages for. Gwynn also had fun on her actual birthday Charlie got Gwynn the most adorable CD player and Cd's for her birthday and presented it very nicely the morning of her birthday pink daisy's, a birthday balloon she is still carrying around the house, and matching wrapping paper on her presents. She had all her favorite food on her birthday Brook and I made waffles with Pb for breakfast, chicken nuggets for lunch and dinner at Red Robin with a birthday song and mile high mud pie. She went to bed exausted, fat, and happy!

The week after the parties was a blur I had makeup lessons, doctors appointments, a ton of cleaning and my sister Brook stayed with us for the week. Gwynn and Brook had lots of good bonding time. Gwynn has been asking for her everyday. Brook would run around the house with Gwynn on her shoulders and danced with her everyday and let her eat a ton of chocolate. Gwynn keeps asking me for shoulder and back rides which is getting increasingly more difficult with every passing day. I am also trying to detox her from all the chocolate but that's what aunts are for! Charlie was busy at work and had a lot more work given to him this past week. On Friday Brook and I flew to Reno to celebrate my grandmothers 70Th birthday. It was an absolute blast. It was so nice to see all my family. I also had a long list of preggers questions for my mom and aunt who are both very well educated in the medical field an obgyn and a midwife/rn. My grandmother was also extremely spoiled as well as myself. My aunt took us all for pedicures and manicure and we ate at some of the most amazing restaurants in Reno. I definantly think I came back five pounds heavier after all the lobster, steak and veal! We also enjoyed the nice weather, outdoor malls and took a nice drive to Carson City.

Our doctors appointment went very well. We are still going in for a c section on the twenty fifth unless labor comes early or our doctor decides to do the c section earlier which he said is a possibility. We just have to play the waiting game and see how the pregnancy progresses. We basically have two months and two weeks to go worst case. I really can't imagine my belly getting any bigger it went through another growing spurt and feels huge! He continues to be a crazy man in my belly kicking and punching at all hours. He feels huge and strong! I also definantly am starting to feel pregnant again I am so tired and have confused a million dates in my head. I have started to write things down to help stay organized.

We also have a fun filled weekend coming up. It is Charlie's Dad 60Th birthday surprise party in Central Oregon with Charlie's family. We are going to the Cowboy dinner tree for dinner and just visiting with the family. I did have an opportunity to do a fashion show for brides this weekend doing makeup for models and free advertising but had some confusion on the date and decided not to for a couple reasons. First and foremost Gwynn has had the worst separation anxiety since I left her last weekend...for example today I went into the garage for about ten seconds and when I came back in side she was balling saying mommy, mommy and ran up to me and hugged me tight. It melted my heart! She won't let me out of her sight and she is very clinging. I can't do that to her again she also has been really sad every time Charlie leaves I think she is on edge for one or both of us to leave. I also think it will be good to visit with Charlie's family we don't see often and Gwynn will have both Mommy and Daddy!
