Family Baby Shower
Yesterday I had a baby shower for Ricky's side of the family, thrown by my mother in law Jennifer and Ricky's Aunts. It was so much fun having them all over to the house, I'm a slacker and had never had any of the aunts over in the last two years sorry guys! Everyone in who lives in Utah County was able to come. So that means we had Jennifer, Aunt Denise, her daughter Sydney, my SIL Maria, Aunt Sarah and her daughter Lena, Becca and her daughter Brooke, Grandma Ackley, Grandma Gammon (Jennifer's Mother in Law), Aunt Jamie (Jennifer's Sister in Law) and Jamie's daughter Hannah. Our little guy pretty much got spoiled, he got 7 outfits, two packs of new born diapers courtesy of my MIL's beautiful diaper cake, a bouncer, changing table pad, receiving blankets, a beautiful baby blue afghan crocheted by my MIL, lots of stuff for bath time, i.e. towels, wash clothes, soap, shampoo, lotion, baby powder, a first aid/medicine kit, some booties and mittens. Ricky and I are so grateful to have such a wonderful and loving family who are just as excited as we are to be bringing this little guy into the world. I am ever so lucky to have married into such a great and amazing family! Thank you again ladies for coming and visiting oh and thank you Sarah and Becca for such YUMMY food! Here is my latest pregnancy picture from yesterday's shower....I'll post more pictures up when I get copies from Jennifer.

California Trip
The weekend before Easter I went home for a baby shower lovingly thrown by my BFF Tito, aka Crystal and my family. I loved going home! We had so much fun just hanging out and visiting with family and friends.
Friday we chilled at my mom's house and played in the pool with the girls.
These two girls play together, sometimes great, sometimes not so great. My favorite part of being with them was listening to Armanie say Holy Moly! and Ella say Hi! They are some of the cutest girls you'll ever meet.....Even if they are carbon copies of their Mothers. ;)
This is my mom's dog MooChee he loves to scavenger through your bag and find food....don't bother trying to take it away from him he's got a death grip....and that's why I call him lil ShiT (he's a ShiTzu)
Friday night we went out to dinner with all the family that was in town. It consisted of Nana and Pop, Mom and Gene, Sean and Stacey and their 2 boys, Katie and Armanie, Me and Heather and Ella. We went to Applebee's and had great food. We quickly realized though that this would probably be the last time we'd be able to go out to dinner as a family without having to rent a banquet room ha given that 3 husbands were missing and come October there will be 5 new additions bringing the total to 21 people and that's just too crazy for any of us to be able to comprehend. ha
Saturday we had my baby shower here are the pictures
It was a great time. Thank you so much Crystal for opening your home up and for all the good food and the great time! Thank you to everyone who came and for all the wonderful gifts. I'm so grateful to you all for the love and support all of you have always shown towards me. I'm so glad I was able to spend time with all of you.
Sunday we had Easter dinner and an Easter Egg hunt at mom's house, it was so fun to see all the kids playing together and getting to visit for a bit. Thanks mom for the good food and the fun times. During the Easter Egg hunt Armanie gave us the slip and figured out a way to get into Nana and Pop's RV and when we found her she had climbed up onto their counter and was sitting there eating cookies.....guess the candy in the eggs weren't enough for her.
This is a shot of me and my sisters with all our pregnant bellies. Stacey is due this month with twin girls, Heather is due in October, I'm due end of June with our sweet boy, and Katie is due mid June with what we all believe to be a boy, but it's a surprise. :)
Monday I met up with some of my friends from high school for lunch. Pictures will come later, it was so nice to see all of them and they were kind enough to bring me presents as well. Thank you very much you guys it was so much fun to sit around and visit for hours. and the presents were adorable! I can't wait to get our baby here and dress him in all the cute clothes!!!
By the time my flight left I was ready to come home to my hubby and hang out with him. The flight home was pretty uneventful until we started our decent into Salt Lake, it was at that point our little boy decided to climb up into my ribs and stay for the remainder of the flight. I got off the plane and made my way through the entire terminal with my carry on bag and purse, with basically one functioning lung since it felt like he was sitting on my right lung. ha by the time I got to baggage claim I was tired and winded, Ricky was there to pick me up and he started laughing at me because he thought I was so out of shape being winded. I told him I would have been fine if his son would have decided to climb back out of my rib cage!

23 week check up
Today I had our 23 week check up and everything looks great! I have gained another 7 lbs bring the total to 12 lbs. :) Our little guy has a great heart rate of 150 and doesn't care for the Doppler much I don't think since he kicked it mid count so she had to do it over again. haha my belly is measuring 23 cm which is right on for normal. Next month I go in for my glucose test and they'll do another ultrasound to see if my placenta has moved up. Let's all pray that it has I would rather not have to deal with placenta previa and lose the opportunity to deliver our guy naturally.
In other fun baby news Ricky was playing a video game this weekend that had funky techno music to it. Our little guy LOVED it he was dancing like crazy you could actually see my belly moving to the music. When Ricky would pause the game he'd stop dancing and when the music resumed so would he it was hilarious! He wakes me up every so often at night from his kicks but other then that I couldn't ask for a better baby. I'm just praying that he is this kind to his mother once he's here.
We've finished our baby registries at Target and Babies R Us and are going to start working on the nursery in the coming weeks. My friend Kelsey found the fabric for the bedding at Wal-Mart so I've gotta go buy it so I can start making the bumper and dust ruffle. I'm really so excited to meet this little guy!
I'm going to California in less then 4 weeks to have a girls weekend and a baby shower so that's the next thing to look forward to baby wise.

It's a boy!!
HERE HE IS!!!
Sorry it's a longer video, watch what you want of it, I could watch it all day! He is a strong healthy little boy. He is weighing in at 9 oz, everything is looking great and normal. He is fidgety, which I'm starting to feel, but was very cooperative. I'll post the other video we have as soon as it uploads. I'm just amazed at how clear it all came through. We were able to see his legs and toes and hands and fingers and nose and he even has a little chubby belly! Love him to pieces already!!
As for me everything was looking good I've gained 4lbs in the last month so a total of 5 lbs. The placenta is looking a little low and back in my uterus, not blocking the cervix at all but still a little lower then they would like so next month they'll do another ultrasound to make sure that it has moved back more so it won't be a problem during deliver. They also said I have a fibrosis growing in my uterus, but said it was fairly normal and not very big so it's not anything to worry about, but they will monitor it since it can grow along with the baby and just make me feel bigger then what I would be with out it. And after the baby is born if it doesn't go away on its own I can have it removed.
So there you go! We are so happy and excited to be having this little boy join our family! Now we've got to decide on a name and theme for the bedroom and all the other fun boy stuff! Can't wait!
Love,
Lish & Ricky
