Shame on me....Time to catch up!!

Shame on me! I haven't blogged in several weeks. We have been so busy preparing for Caden's arrival. Between doctors appointments, work, and baby showers we have been busy, busy, BUSY!

I am now 33.5 weeks along....and I really can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going. We continue to go in for weekly appointments....have weekly shots...and are now having weekly sonos.....so we are getting to see ALOT of our little rocker dude!! As of a couple of weeks ago...he weighed 3lbs 11 oz and was 16 inches long....and by now he should be almost 5lbs. I think we will have new measurements done next week I believe. Caden is moving alot....I feel him all day long.....its a great feeling. We are starting to get very anxious. We are so ready to hold him and love on him. They have scheduled the c-section for May 26th....although I am not sure if I will make it that long...but I guess we will see! Either way...we are in the final stretch and we are sooooooo excited!

On March 27th we went down to Wharton for two baby showers. Caden got so spoiled that we had to rent a u-haul to bring back all his stuff. It was so good to see all our friends and family. The first shower was in Sugar Land at my friend Heather's house. It was hosted by Heather Houston, Donna Nelson, Sharon Lindberg, my cousin Anette Lee, and my aunts Kay and Debbie. It was a beautiful shower and they really made it special for me. The second shower was hosted by Mercy Salinas, Christina Garcia, Lupe Acosta, Terrie Ramirez, Mary Helen Duran, and Liz Herrera. It was an evening shower and consisted of close friends and mostly Mike's family. We had a great turn out. It was a VERY busy day...but it was a VERY special day for us. I can't tell you how great it feels to have so much support from friends and family. Caden has had sooooo many people praying and rooting for him and we are so thankful for all the prayers. Needless to say...it was a great weekend and it also marked the last weekend of travel for us. Below are some pictures from both showers.

I have lots of new pictures of Caden....but I need to go through them first....so I will post again very soon and share pictures of the finshed nursery and more sono pictures of him!!
