Tyler's "Mustache Bash" Shower and 32 Week Update

I had such a fun time celebrating the arrival of Tyler with some of my closest friends a few weekends ago. My hostesses did such a great job and the "mustache" theme was super cute! Thanks to everyone who came and showered me and Tyler with gifts. It was so fun!

Having fun with the mustaches....We had to turn them into a unibrow in honor of my dad :).

Creepy.....I know! :)

This past weekend I reached 32 weeks. It is crazy to think that Tyler will be here in 8 weeks! He is moving and kicking all the time now and I finally felt him get the hiccups this past weekend. I am still feeling great and sleeping well (except for the occasional potty break). Life has pretty much been normal for me up until this point in my pregnancy (other than the obvious fact that there is a person growing inside of me). However this past week I did hit a little bump in the road. Some of the teachers at my school go walking after school so I thought I would join them. I have been really bad about working out the last few months so I thought it would be good for me to get back into it before Tyler arrives...I was WRONG! I lasted about 15 minutes before I had to turn around and walk back to school. My calves were burning and my belly was cramping....let's just say I felt pretty pathetic. They kept trying to remind me that I am 8 months pregnant and that I should take it easy but I thought walking was "easy". I guess I am realizing that my body can't do things just because my mind things I should be able to do it. 

I have officially gained around 20-23 pounds depending on what time of day I weigh myself :). I also am now going to the doctor every 2 weeks now. I have another sonogram at the end of April and I can't wait to see how big he has gotten over the past few months. 

Horizontal stripes were probably not the best idea! 

Easter Weekend

Brian and I had a great Easter weekend. I was lucky enough to get Friday and Monday off so we headed out of town around lunch time on Friday. For Valentines Day my parents had given us a night at a B&B in Salado so we decided to use it this weekend as a mini "babymoon". The weather was perfect so we thought it would be nice to walk around Salado but I quickly realized that probably wasn't the best idea for me. Instead we headed back to the B&B to relax and do one of Brian's favorite thing...sit on the porch and read. This is definitely Brian's "happy place". Later that night we enjoyed an incredible dinner at the Inn. Thanks mom and dad for such a relaxing evening before Tyler arrives :).

The next morning we checked out and headed to Temple to celebrate Easter with my family. Grant had come in town late Thursday night and Kali, Lance, and Tanner were planning on being there too. However, Lance was stuck at home with a crazy big kidney stone so we had to celebrate without them. :( The weekend was filled with more "porch" time for Brian and lots of bonding between the boys. My mom and I had fun running errands and she helped me get started on the sign I am making for Tyler's nursery. 

On Monday I tagged along with my sister and Tanner at the zoo. It was so fun seeing how excited he was to see all of the animals. When he saw the lions he kept saying "HUGE". I was surprised at how interested he was in all of the animals that we saw. He was such a trooper! It was so fun but let's just say that Aunt Taylor took an hour and a half nap once she got home. I can't wait for Tanner and Tyler to be great friends :).
