Baby Shower!

I had a baby shower this past Saturday in Bryan at the Brazos Center. My hostesses did such an awesome job and we got soooo many great gifts from everyone!!!!

My hostesses were Brandy Bradicich, Kelsey Coneley, Magan Smith, Brenna Price, Allison Fountain, Tracey Cruz, Shelby Route, Courtney Rosow, Emily Parker, and Brandy Chappell

THANK YOU all for such a wonderful shower!

The cake was BEAUTIFUL!! So neat :)


Yes I am filling up my plate! Yummy!


This is me above and me and my mom below. Very cute corsages made of baby socks.




We played a game where you smell the smashed up chocolate bar in the "dirty" diaper and try to guess which chocolates are in which diapers. Gross but fun!


One of my bestest friends, Briana, and her niece, Kailee, which looks like her mini-twin.



This is another bestest friend, Emily. She was a hostess but is not in the hostess picture because she had to leave and drive to Houston to catch a flight to Florida.


Love this Baby Einstein gift.. thanks Richard and Allison :)


My sister got me the gifts pictured above and below. Those are socks that look like Mary Jane slippers, and she made the A&M outfit below. Too Cute!



Justin and I both loved that front onesie that says "Daddy Makes Me Smile"


A friend made this pink A&M blanket and a matching wet one container. SO cute!


Magan did good! I had told her how I want ice cream all the time so she got me chocolate syrup, pecans, and whipped cream, along with all the other gifts in that basket.


The hostesses gave us the bassinet cradle we really wanted and the comforter for the crib! Thank you!


Some of the girls that played on the volleyball team I coached came to the shower after playing in a summer league tournament and winning 1st place!


The delicious foods!


The hostesses!

They know I hold up the number of fingers each month for my belly pics on my blog so they all held up 8 fingers to show I'm 8 months (on Tuesday June 30th) and 8 weeks left until my due date!


Four Generations! My mom, me, MawMaw, and baby girl in the belly


My sister, me, and my niece - they look alike in this pic!

The Parents-to-be :)


The gifts in the nursery


We started going through all the baby clothes we have now and Justin needed a little break. He was working hard sorting into sizes!


How Sweet! He loves me!

31 Week Belly Photos!

Here are my 31 Week Belly Photos!

I can put my hand on my belly now where her feet are positioned and feel her foot pressed against my skin. Justin said it feels like a tumor poking out of my stomach. My only complaints at 31 weeks are heartburn and the very frequent trips to the restroom!

4D Ultrasound

Today I went to the Brazos Valley Women's Center to have a 4D ultrasound done. I was so excited to see the baby's face! However, baby girl's face was so close to the placenta that the ultrasound tech couldn't get really good pictures.. :( She said if there was more fluid between her face and the placenta we'd have good pics but it was too hard to see her in that position.

We did get these four pictures though. This first one is the best.


Her tongue is sticking out in this second pic.


This pic is a little scary looking.. but you can see her lips.


The black and white section on the left hand side is a regular ultrasound and it's showing her profile. That's also hard to see though.


We were a little disappointed that we didn't get great pics but it was still neat to see her on the screen again. I was right about her position. I've been getting kicked in the ribs on my right side and that's definitely where her feet are located. The tech said she weighs four pounds right now. We also got a dvd of the ultrasound too so if anyone wants to watch it- we have it! :)

Here is a Hamilton Family Photo
(Just the gals & we're missing Justin's cousin Becky)

The corsage was so neat! It was made with a pair of baby socks and a hair bow.


This is me with 12 of the 14 hostesses! They did a great job!



Everything was so pretty!
The shower started at 10am so we had brunch food- muffins, sausage balls, fruit tray, wraps, orange juice, coffee, coffee slush/punch, sugar cookies with pink icing, etc. Yum!!!





Justin's family gave us a hand held video baby monitor so we can see and hear the baby!


We got a lot of cute outfits :)


Sweet little girls.. and precious names, Kynlie and Brieley.
