20 Weeks – Baby Shower Extravaganza

After an exciting week of Dr. appointments and meetings, Preston and I were excited for our Idaho getaway. What we were a little less excited for was 16 hour drive from Tucson to Burley. Throw the puppies and being 20 weeks pregnant into the mix and an adventure was created. Lucky enough though the drive was pretty uneventful minus pouring rain and Wilson escaping from the boot to try and be co-captain.  We spent the first couple of days in Burley bird hunting with the puppies and I am proud to say that I was a trooper and went out with them.

On Saturday we traveled to Smithfield for the beautiful baby shower.  Kami, Bristal, and Janet, your Aunt, Aunt, and Grandmother threw an awesome baby shower for you at Aunt Shelley’s house in Smithfield. There was a great turn out with Aunt Janet’s family, Aunt Shelley’s family, many people from the Larson side and the Johnson side too. Some of my good friends were even able to make it and it sure meant a lot to me that all those people came to show their support for you. Your Aunt Bristal had a cake made with koalas on it, Aunt Kami went above and beyond as usual with her gift basket and there were just so many beautiful gifts. Thanks to Stephanie, your Dad’s cousin, we played some pretty interesting games and let’s just say I was sure blushing by the end of them. There are a lot of people that are exicted to meet you and we can’t wait for you to meet them too.

We drove the lovely 16 hour drive home on Tuesday, October the 12th with a car topped full. We get to have an appointment with Dr. Barber, the pediatric cardiologist, and our good friend Suzie, to see how everything is looking on your fetal echo on the 13th.  As always little one, just keep growing stronger each day. We love you very much and pray for you always.
