Here is a pic of my father in law, Don, and me comparing our bellies. I think it's obvious who the winner is!?




The white thing peeking out under my t-shirt is an elastic belt that supports my really heavy belly- one of the greatest inventions ever!!!
Here you can find more pix from the baby shower last Sunday:

This and that

I know I haven't posted anything in a while- sorry for that, I was just very busy with napping, growing a baby, walking Nelson, baking and cooking for several FRG events, helping out people, keeping the house clean, disposing of Halloween candy, doing arts and crafts for our FRG fundraiser, doing laundry, spending time with friends,....and most of all waiting for calls from Afghanistan!
Here are some pictures from Eric.

Yesterday afternoon after preparing  the FRG fall carnival (Gavin, Chrissy, I, Tracie and Hunter):




Me and Aurora, a friend's baby. That night Gavin (one of Chrissy's sons) gave out teddy bears to all the children with one deployed parent. We (Baby J., Eric and I) got the big white one in the picture. Aurora got a bright pink one!


Ok you guys- enough now. I can't sit anymore... my ... hurts and I am getting hungry! Take care!
