Tonight we are going to our first birth and labor class at the hospital. We are excited to see where Brody will be born and learn more about birth of course!
Since the last time I posted lots has happened. We went on vacation to the beach and shopped til we dropped buying baby clothes and other goodies. We had a great time and can't wait to take Brody next year! After vacation we came back home for about 2 weeks and then headed back to Logan for our baby shower and Jacob's reunion. We had a great time but a two week trip home is exhausting! I was so happy to come home to our house and sleep in my own bed!
Jacob and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary on July 24th. We were home so we booked a room at the Chief Logan Lodge. It was very nice and relaxing. Logan's best kept secret for sure! It's hard to believe we have been married for 4 years and have a baby on the way! <3
Our shower was on July 26th. We had a great turn out-- over 60 people. Baby Brody received tons are clothes, sleepers, blankets, and much much more. He is one blessed baby for sure! After we got everything home and unpacked, we started organizing the nursery. It's almost finished completely now! Jacob has worked super hard hanging everything for me and assembling everything. He is such a good husband and daddy! We still have a few things to straighten up and clean before he gets here but for the most part I think we are in good shape! I even washed up his coming home outfits yesterday. Dreft detergent is pricey but it smells so good! I can't wait to get Brody in his little outfits and show him off!
Another big thing that we are excited about is that mom and dad leased their apartment. They are officially baby sitting Brody in January! yay! We can't wait for Brody to meet his grandparents (& great grandparents!) and so happy that he doesn't have to be in day care. He gets to be snuggled bu his Nana and Pappy, G-pa (whatever!) everyday!
Only about 7 weeks are left before Brody's debut to the world. We cannot wait to meet our little guy! <3
