32 weeks = 8 months

8 months and it is finally starting to feel like this is really going to happen!  Nick and I are really excited and just hope for a healthy delivery (which will be by C-section).  These past eight months have gone really smoothly.  The baby is progressing perfectly, and I've not been sick or too uncomfortable.  I will say that it is just starting to get uncomfortable when I try to go to bed at night, but nothing too bad.  All worth it of course.  It seems like it's been awhile since we lost Andrew, but I still think of him every day.  The other day I actually wondered if what happened with him would not have happened, maybe we wouldn't have this baby now.  And she feels so very special to us already. 

Last weekend was our baby shower with a few close friends.  It went really well.  My mom decorated and cooked all the food, and it was wonderful to have all of our very closest friends together. Kimberly and I made the cake the day prior (golden vanilla cake with homemade fondant icing.) 

The pictures of the caterpillar and butterfly cakes are from my family baby shower.

My family held a shower for me on January 22nd.  They utilized our theme (Eric Carle art) and decorated in hot pink and lime green.  The food was delicious.  My Uncle Randy made the butterfly cake, and my cousin Jacki made the caterpillar cupcakes.
