"Holy loud babyshower" ~Bryce

Mike and I got to take the last car ride home before little Maeli comes! We left for Ontario on Friday night after work and then bright and early Saturday morning we went to Vale for my baby shower! We got to play tons of fun games and we all laughed way too hard! There was at least 25 ladies here after they all showed up! it was so great to see them all but it was CRAZY!! Mike and the boys went to town to play tennis but came back a little before it was over. Bryce was in the computer room on facebook and when i got on later he had that comment on his status....my mom and i laughed pretty hard! It was pretty loud, very crazy and i got tons of little girl clothes! my favorite present was my dads cradle that he made for me! it is so beautiful!!! We are heading back home tomorrow and im a little sad to leave my family again! But the good part is that i have lots of new baby stuff and im more than ready for Maeli to come!!

Heathers beautiful diaper cake!

My dads amazing cradle full of Maeli's new clothes!

Most of the circle of ladies. Brecca didnt quite get all the ladies beside and behind her. :)

New Hair Cut!!!!

I have had my hair long for quite a while now and i was getting pretty sick of it! So yesterday when mike was at work, and Heather was here visiting, I went and got all my hair chopped off! it feels great and I love having it short again! Mike has been bugging me to cut if off because he loved it short and that was how we met. So i surprised him with a cute new hair cut and took him out for dinner at Ruby Tuesdays and a movie! We had a super fun date!!!! Here are some pics of the new hair!!!!

Getting Ready!!

I am now 29 1/2 week into my pregnancy! I cant even believe how fast it has been going! Maeli is growing so fast and getting so big! You can see pretty much every move that she makes now and it is so much fun for Mike and I to sit and feel her and talk to her! I have had a few miserable days when my sciatica nerve was acting up and my knees would buckle! That pretty much puts me out for the rest of the day because my butt will ache so bad that i cant move at all! Other than that I have been nesting really bad! On Tuesday I started my spring deep cleaning! I cleaned out closets and drawers and pretty much cleaned between every crack in my apartment! it felt great! Along with getting the house nice and clean, i have been getting Maeli's room ready! Its been so much fun finding her clothes and getting her room all cute and decorated! I also took up knitting just as something to do in my spare time when mike is in class or at work! its actually been a lot of fun! I was about 3/4 of the way done with a blanket for Maeli when i started on another one for my friend who is having a little boy the end of the month! Not a whole lot has been going on other than that! just trying not to annoy mike too much with my need to prepare! We are getting so excited for Maeli to come!!!!! only 81 days left!
