They Got Me!!!!! :)

Ah! There's so much to talk about! But first I'm going to start with the biggest surprise shower ever! I'll start from the beginning. It was Saturday, June 27, and Gabe had surprised me with circus ticktes! I was so excited! We went to the 11:00 show. During the show, my sister Stacey texted me asking me what I was doing for lunch cuz her and Joshua were at the mall. I told her I had no plans. She texted me back saying she had been craving Sun Ray Grill since we talked about it a few weeks ago. I told her that sounded good but I wasn't sure if I could afford it so she responded telling me that she was broke too and was going to ask my mom and dad to come so they could pay! (my mom and stacey had planned that because they knew I was going to say I didn't have any money) lol. So I was like okay sounds good I'll call you when I leave! The circus ended a little bit after 1 and Gabe had work at 2 so I brought him home and then headed to the restaurant. On the way there I texted Stacey telling her I was on my way and she responded saying they were already there (haha). I pulled up to the restaurant and parked in the back. I walked right by the window where my shower was (which I have a picture of). I walked in the door and was blown away (which I also have a picture of). I couldn't believe it! I did not expect my shower to be so early. I seriously had NO idea...like not even the slightest clue! I just thought I was going to lunch like always! Below are some pictures of the decorations that Krystle did, the delicious cake that Stacey had got for me, and the diaper cake that Brandi did, the many many gifts from everyone, the basket that my friend Aimee made for me, a picture of one of the 3 games that Kellie had us play at the shower, me walking by the window with no idea, me walking in with complete shock written on my face, and a video of me shortly after I realized that it was my shower! lol I was crying!!! I can't believe it!

Okay so updates about the pregnancy! I am 30 weeks!!!! Only 10 more to go!! I can't believe it. I remember when I was 10 weeks pregnant and I was saying how I couldn't wait to have 10 left and now it's here!! And yesterday, June 30, was my last day of work! I'm done working! I don't know what I'm going to do with the rest of my summer! I guess I'll just get everything ready for my little Reesie Cup! And I can keep busy with Samantha's baby shower and their 3D/4D ultra sound!! And I'll probably lay out a lot! lol Well what comes along with 30 weeks is heart burn!!! It's getting so much worse! I think it's because she is getting SOO much bigger!! Well here is my belly pic and baby update!

P.S.--THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH for the shower and all of the gifts!! I am so grateful to have such generous family and friends! I really do appreciate it and it was so much more than I could have thought of! Thanks again!

Getting Ready for Theresa!!

So, I have been having Theresa's bedding in a box for like a month and have been DYING to get her crib in so I can put it all together! Well, on Wednesday, June 10 it came!! Gabe and I got to work as soon as I got off of work! Gabe and my brother Jason moved my furniture around in my room to make room for Theresa's crib and all the rest of her stuff! As soon as we had it moved, Gabe and I took everything out of the box and he started organizing all of the pieces and reading the directions! Sam, the puppy, tried to help but all he wanted to do was eat everything so we had to kick him out :( After everything was organized and we knew what to do, we got to work! It took about 2 hours to get the crib up then Gabe had to go to his soccer game, so my mom and I did the rest! I was SOOOO excited to have everything up! Now I can't wait to put her in it! Ah only 12 weeks left!

Other than that nothing new has been going on, which I'm kind of relieved to say! It's been a bumpy ride so far!! The summer has been very rough on me though. The heat is unbearable!! I step outside and I feel like I'm going to die! And it's only going to get worse, unfortunately. But it will all be worth it when I hold our little angel in my arms! Well here's some pics of Gabe and I's hard work and my belly and the ticker!
