I started the month out VERY busy at work, and the first weekend Ben and I did some work around the house. I proceeded to plant $150 worth of flowers that Sunday in the blazing heat - not quite sure that was a good decision on my part being almost 27 weeks pregnant, but hey - it looks good! My back felt like someone drop kicked me for a few days, ouch! I won't do that again. Then, the next week I was on Jury Duty - let me just say I am SO happy I wasn't selected for a jury! It was torture just sitting in there for half a day. That same week Ben and I took our first baby class after work. We had to do this because we literally have no free weekends left until July. So, last Tuesday from 6:30 to 9:30 we were in this class. It was good and taught us some things we didn't know prior. So, it was a beneficial class - just long and tough to sit through after a full day of work.
I also have tons of doctors appointments this month. My glucose test was yesterday (Gross!) and my 6 month checkup at my oncologist's office is tomorrow. Geez! They are like vampires with the amount of blood that has been drawn this month. At least I'm used to blood draws now, it honestly doesn't even bother me anymore. How could it? I bet I've had it drawn at least a hundred times over the past 3 years. I used to almost faint at the sight of a needle!
So anyways, finally this past weekend rolled around and both of our families were in town. I had my first baby shower this past Saturday morning at Laura's house, and let me tell you - her and Melanie did an outstanding job on this shower! I've never seen anything like it! It was the most beautiful baby shower I've ever been to. These girls went above and beyond and I really want to say THANK YOU to these two for doing all you did for me! I can't say thank you enough...really, I can't. Here are some pics!

Sunday arrived and we geared up to go watch our adorable nephew Walker be baptized at our church. He did so good! He even stuck his hand in the bowl of holy water - priceless moment! He is just precious in his new haircut too. We love this little guy!!!
So, the madness continues! I'm off to host my bf from college Kristie's bachelorette party this weekend. I am really looking forward to it, it's going to be SO much fun!!
The last weekend in May Ben and I will be celebrating 5 years of marriage - can you believe it! We've been through a lot in 5 years! It's been amazing - cheers to us! :)
Hope everyone is having a great week/month - love to all!
