36 Weeks

Here are some pics of me at 36 weeks. Still working on my Masters. Only 2 weeks of class left. :) Most everything is ready for Baby Caleb. Feeling a little uncomfortable especially in the evenings and tossing and turning at night.

Sorry, this one is out of focus

Hospital bag is mostly packed and ready to go behind me

36 Weeks today!

MAJOR News!!!

You read it right...my amazing husband got promoted to Major Stefani on Monday and I was privileged enough to witness and participate in this momentous event. Ted has served many, many, many years in the Army. I am very proud of him!! Here are some pictures from the ceremony.

I was able to "pin on" his Major patch.

32 Weeks and Furniture

Here are some photos of me and Caleb at 32 weeks. I am feeling tired more often and uncomfortable, especially at night. It is impossible to sleep through the night, I guess my body is preparing for restless nights of feeding baby. :)

32 weeks in our bedroom in front of our new windows! They are great! They don't let the wind or cold (or hot) air in and they have great views of Blodgett Peak!

I broke down and got shorts. Not the most flattering, but comfort over fashion these days! Especially since we broke a record high on Monday of 97! You can see Caleb's basinett/playyard in the background, right next to my side of the bed. Right now Ted has 2 monkey's and a teddy bear "testing out" the new bed.

Walking into Caleb's room. His diaper bag is hanging on the door. We got a cute Monkey light switch plate, and his furniture arrived!! Ted put the crib together and it looks great! Again there are some animals testing it out. If Caleb's stuffed animals are missing, I think I know who to ask...my husband!!! :)

This is the view from the doorway. Window with valence (curtains are being hemmed), rocking/reclining chair, lampshade (still need to get a lamp stand), changing table (have to get a changing pad) notice all the stuffed animals, and dresser.

Here is a view from the window/crib.

What an adorable rug Ted's mom got him. One of the neatest things about it is that different textures were used for different parts of the animals; some are bumpy, some are a shorter pile of rug, some fluffier...love it! It matches the rocking chair really well!

View from the rocking chair/window. :) I love his room! Can't wait to see how he likes it.

Family and Friends Shower in Tulsa

My wonderful Aunts, Abby and Kim, hosted a beautiful shower for me and Caleb in May. Most of my family was able to come and some friends I have not seen for years came too!!! It was so amazing to see everyone and I felt so blessed to have them come to celebrate this special time in our life. We were truly spoiled with all of the delicious food, adorable decorations, fun filled games, lively company, and MANY gifts! Here are some photos.

The yummy food. My sister Amy, a baker at heart, made the pear cake and flourless chocolate cake. YUMMMM!!

Kay and her oldest daughter, Lily. Kay and I were best friends in college. I haven't seen her in

A cute outfit, overalls (I am a sucker for overalls!), that Emily picked out, from Kim, Rob, Meredith and Emily!

Christina and her youngest daughter Abigal. She was all full of smiles! I went to high school with Christina.

Kay and her family. Randy, Eryn, and Lily. They drove up from Dallas, Texas to share this special time with me and Caleb!! Such beautiful girls!!

Me with some of my good friends from high school: Christina, Morgan, and Jamie.

They all drove in from surrounding towns!! Thank you!! So good to see you all again!

Me and my Gma. And, no, we did not plan to wear matching shirts!

Me and the wonderful shower hosts, Abby and Kim!! Thank you ladies!!

The TONS of clothes for Caleb!!! How cute are those outfits!!

ALL the other gifts!!! We are so thankful to everyone for their generous gifts and taking the time to come to the shower for Caleb!! Can you believe I got all of this minus 2 things into the suitcases to travel back to Colorado???
