Beau & Jacci's First Baby: Seattle Baby Shower

So...Baby Mason has now flown to several states around the country ... Arizona, Virgina, California, Ohio, and of course now Washington!!! While visiting Beau's family in Seattle his mom and sister had a baby shower for us which was a wonderful time. We had tons of great food and their friends were so sweet to bring Baby Mason lots of goodies! His sister sewed a really soft baby blanket/stuffed animal lion and we also were passed down Beau's baby blanket from his trip home from the hospital.

Liz also gave us some of his baby clothes and framed some pictures of when he wore them as a child. The gifts were priceless and memorable and make me teary eyed every time I look over them.

My parents stopped in Seattle on their way out to Oregon - we had a wonderful time with them and Liz and Larry made the BEST dinner of Salmon and Crab. Finally I was able to eat some "real fish" as Beau would say!

I find my "nesting" has picked up ... I love to just organize the baby stuff we've received and fold the little clothes. I guess you could say I'm obsessed but I think it's normal!!! Today we hit the third trimester mark- only 1/3 of the way left to go! I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has come along...

I don't have any crazy wierd cravings but I do love to eat watermelon and usually eat one watermelon each week. I also love peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches and of course ice cream. My

belly is just getting bigger and bigger but my back and body still feel pretty good. I can't always sleep at night because Baby Mason is tossing and turning so much but so far- pain free- so I can't complain! Mayzie and I still exercise in the mornings... I walk /run for about 25 minutes then I do a "boot camp" program I find on OnDemand. I'm up to about 24 pounds over my norm...maternity clothes are getting tight so thankfully since it's summer I can get away with skirts and dresses most of the time!
