Alright Stop ... (pause) ... Shower Time

The baby shower has come and gone and we are now loaded up with lots of goodies for our little dude. The shower was A-W-E-S-O-M-E thanks to the beautiful party planners behind it. Lillian and Kristina, what the heck would I do without you? These girls pulled off quite the party.There were friends and family...

The couch potatos... j/k :)

A Mexican sandwich with the Robles ladies :)

I am so thankful for the time and effort put into this shower and for all the awesome gifts and fun company that came from it. Many thanks to everyone involved!

We are approaching the 8-month mark and so far everything has been going really well. Dan and I have completed the classes we signed up for through the hospital so now it's just a matter of organizing and setting up everything to be ready for this little dude to make his grand entrance. Dan has been talking to his baby a lot and little Durham goes nuts anytime he hears daddy's voice. :) My stomach starts moving every which direction when Dan starts talking to him. It's a fun little game. I'll be 33 weeks in a few days so it won't be long until our little family of 4 (you guessed it, Me, Dan, Lola, and Moto) will grow to 5. We can't wait to meet baby Durham!

Silly Dogs

This morning while I was driving to work I got a call from Dan, which is unusual. He told me he had a funny story to tell me about the dogs. So here's my re-telling of it.

Dan was asleep in our bedroom and heard what sounded like chewing noises so he got up to see what the dogs were doing (I left them free to roam the house when I left because I figured they'd probably just get back in their beds). Well he found them just hanging out, not doing anything so he went back to bed. He heard the noise again so he got up quietly and tip-toed to the room the dogs were in to find them chewing on something. He said Moto was ferociously chewing on whatever he had in his mouth and wouldn't let Dan take it from him. Dan finally got him to come to him and put his finger inside Moto's mouth to get out whatever he had. He pulled and the stuff inside Moto's mouth just stretched. Then he realized, Moto was chewing gum! I don't know where they found gum but apparently they are quite the gum chewers! I'm just glad Dan caught them before it ended up stuck in the carpet or stuck to one of them. What's funny is they tried to hide the fact that they were chewing gum when Dan went out to check on them the first time. I'm sure they were just holding it in their mouths acting totally innocent. Silly dogs!
