30 weeks, 5 days

Here we are at the baby shower with my wonderful friends, Michelle (left) and Kate (right) who hosted the shower. We had delicious pasta, salad and cupcakes at the shower along with smiles and laughter with many friends! It was the perfect opportunity for me to visit with all the wonderful girlfriends I've made here in Minnesota before we move to Mississippi. We received so many great gifts that will definitely help stock up Shooter's room and drawers.....and thank you softball girls for embracing my love for the sport, I'm pretty sure the little man will come out holding a baseball glove to match all of the pinstriped onesies! I also had another doctor's appointment, my belly is now 30 cm and growing right on track! I feel like there is no more room for the little guy to grow, but am reassured by everyone that he'll keep going! His heartbeat is strong (along with his kicks and jabs) and as of Monday, his head is down where it needs to be. Hopefully it will stay that way! We did feel hiccups for the first time last week in the middle of the night. It is one of the best feelings I've had yet, and can't describe how it made me feel! Dale was so excited he sat up in bed and shouted, "No way!" We're getting ready for the big move south and thanks to my in-laws, Shooter has some wonderful summertime clothes in his wardrobe, including swimming trunks and "crocs"! We're hoping to get another ultrasound before his big debut, just to look in and see how he's doing! Anyhow, that's all for now. I do want to thank everyone for coming to our shower and spending a little quality time with me! It means more to me than you all will ever know! I'll keep everyone posted in about another week or so....
