From sonograms to showers...

Since all was progressing so well, it is the practice at our doctor's office, not to perform any further sonograms. :( That was a difficult adjustment to make. After having a sono, basically every other day for a couple of years trying to get pregnant, and then to finally have success, that is when you really want to have the sonos of the baby and enjoy the experience. But the good news is that all seemed to be well, so we took comfort in that.

Next we moved on to getting the room ready for Fender and attended two baby showers in his honor. The first was with family and friends in town. The second was a shower that Drew's office friends threw for us at his work. Fender has LOTS of STUFF. You wouldn't think something so little would need so much, but babies come with lots of extras. This boy is so loved and already spoiled. :) Below is a picture of his crib full of baby clothes, stuffed animals, and hand made quilts, etc. Next is a picture of Fen's first $100...courtesy of his Great Great GREEK Aunt Pauline, who also happened to buy him his first lottery ticket about 7 weeks in utero. And a picture of his cradle, courtesy of his Grandmama, which his Daddy put together late one night with a broken hand and all. :) We're having so much fun already!
