Sorry it's been so long!! Gavin is getting soo big and exciting! He kicks and punches so much now! Last night, I pushed on his little foot and he kicked me back for about 20 minutes! If he's still following our last ultrasound; he should hit 6lbs this week! I don't have gestational diabetes!! Everything is looking pretty good so far!! My blood pressure is going up a little bit; but probably nothing to be worried about! It also looks/ feels like Gavin dropped this weekend! Everything that we've read says that babies come about 2-4 weeks after they drop; we'll see if that's true! It's nice though; because now I can breathe A LOT better again; and his kicks are lower too; which is nice! My mom said that we "frightened" him by going to a late night action movie (Rocknrolla); he kicked and flipped for about 30 minutes toward the end! Josh took his hand off of my belly b/c he didn't like how it felt! That'll prob be the last time we see a movie after 10 for awhile!
I had an awesome baby shower about a week and a half ago! Thank you Carlie, Crystal, Debi, and Kimberly!!! We got so many awesome things for Gavin that we needed!! I've been spending a lot of time washing clothes, blankies, etc. It's fun to put it all away in his room!! We also finally found a glider chair and ottoman this weekend that matches his furniture and that we're both very pleased with! Thanks Gramma and Gramps! Josh is going to put it together this weekend and I'll try to post pics of his room again! My mom is going to come up again this weekend for a major cleaning of the upstairs fest! Hopefully, we will get it all done this weekend and it will be just waiting for Gavin to get here!!! I've been having lots and lots of Braxton Hicks and cramping; I guess that's how you get prepared for real labor! We have our birthing class next Sat (15). I'm sure we'll have some great stories to post about that experience! I'm hoping that we feel more prepared for labor after that; b/c quite frankly, I'm totally freaking out about the whole thing! I've got my hospital bag almost packed; we found Gavin's going home outfit last weekend! It's so cute!

Josh seems to be quite a handy-man! Way to go! I had fun at your baby shower! :) Julie
Wish I could have been there for your baby shower, but I'm so glad that Brooke and I were able to shop for you anyhow! We had so much fun picking out things from your registry and picking things out that we liked for ourselves too....won't be long until we're registerring too! May God bless the 3 of you as you enter into the exciting days ahead!
I'm so glad to hear that things are going well and I can't wait to see pics of Gavin once he comes. Sending hugs your way.
Kimberly
