No, I don't have a twin sister

A fun project at work turned out to be a great time to get some quick new "belly" shots. With some creative retouching - we were able to get one pretty funny photo! This is me at 32 weeks. I'm 34 now, so officially in the homestretch.

I've been so lucky to be feeling good in my pregnancy. I'm a bit more tired these days, but I think that's pretty normal. I've had some insomnia which may be attributed to upcoming motherhood or selling our house (or maybe combination of the two). Enjoying the crazy movement that we are able to see now. She is getting so big and strong, so it's pretty fun to see her move across my stomach or arms sticking out. The doctor says things are measuring correctly and she's in good position. Now if she will just come right on schedule, her Type A mom will be pleased.

Showering Baby B - Take 2

The second part of my weekend home was a family/friend shower in Kansas City. Hosted by my three aunts and at my mom's house - it was a great day filled with all my favorite people. One of the most fun parts was seeing my two cousins who are due right before and after me. Our due dates are within 20 days of each other! Additionally, it was so nice of Doug's family to drive in from St. Louis for the shower. We had a great chance to catch up, since they came in on Saturday night and stayed with us at the house.

The shower was so fun and the food was fantastic - check out the adorable cake! Baby B was thoroughly spoiled with cute outfits & baby gadgets and her mom was pretty excited, too. Time with family is always too short - especially when you get to see them so little. Looking forward to the next visit home to introduce Baby B to her great big family.

Showering Baby B - Take 1

I arrived Kansas City on Friday night for my "Shower Weekend"- just in time for the snow to start. My mom picked me up and we made it home through the blizzard-like storm. The next morning we started out early to make it to Columbia for my first shower. It's always so much fun to spend time in Columbia, where I went to school and this shower was at the sorority house where all my friends & I lived during college. So much fun to go back and see all the changes (and the things that are still the same!)

I feel so lucky to have so many girlfriends from college that I am still in touch with. Although I live far away - email, phone, text, emails, blogs and even Facebook- we have managed to stay close all these years. My friends are amazing mothers, wives, women and I continue to be so amazed by them. Best of all, whenever we get together - it's fun fun & chatting nonstop.

My best friends Sara & April hosted the most beautiful shower and it was so much fun to catch of with everyone in such a familiar place. Of course, there were gifts to be opened. Baby girl Burgess is going to be the best dressed little one in Charleston thanks to my friends. They picked out some of the cutest clothes and baby stuff.

Thanks to everyone who was able to make it & drove through the snow to come to the shower. I felt like such a lucky gal and inevitably hated to leave the fun & party to head back home through the snow.

Take Your Dog to Work Day

My guard dog

I took Willie to work today - we were showing the house and he was feeling a little under the weather. I think he likes going to work - he has gotten a lot of belly rubs and enjoys looking at all the dogs downstairs who are going to the local vet. Right now he is keeping my feet warm.
