Over the Moon: Once you pop...you can't stop!

Yes...pregnancy is like Pringles. Once you pop...you just can't stop......til "D" Day, Delivery Day, that is. :) And this growin' belly is no exception.

I know - I've been a bad, bad blogger lately. I deserve a time out. But life has been busy, as you could imagine! We've been working hard painting, getting furniture moved in, hanging the valance, and organizing and cleaning for our lil angel.....AND for our house guests. My family and Chris' flew in to celebrate our Shower for Audrey and what a great week it was.

First, let's start this catch-up post with some belly pics:

Baby Bump - 29 Weeks

Baby Bump - 30 Weeks

Baby Bump - 31 Weeks

Did you see the sneak peak of the nursery?? That's all you get for now! There will be more to come as we get organized...and fun decor on the walls.

Our lil Audrey, now 31 weeks, lets me know she's well by moving throughout the entire day now. She's not so much a kicker, as she is roller. (I'm pretty sure she's crawling around in there!) Our baby girl is around 3.3 pounds, similar to that of 4 naval oranges...and she's heading into a growth spurt! By now, her lil arms and legs are starting to 'plump' up, and there's no doubt that she'll have the infamous Prilaman and Kline cheeks. (Check out pics below of Brooklyn and Rylie...I'm pretty sure our daughter will be a combo of those two! And they're adorable...so thats great with us!)

The Shower

Chris' mom, sister, and good family friend (Karen, Jen, and Marilyn respectively) threw us an amazing shower. Expecting our first child often has Chris and I reflecting on how good life is and how happy we are. We are both grateful for the lives we lead, and try to make sure we appreciate everyday that we are healthy and happy. But......having a house full of woman who are genuine and supportive and excited about our expanding family really brought our appreciation to a whole new level. Being surrounded such a great circle of family and friends really put into perspective how truly blessed we really are.

The shower started off with some mix n mingling followed by a salad buffett lunch. And when I say buffet...I mean...smorgasbord! And it was delicious...and about 98% home made. Potato salad, pasta salad, green salad, orzo salad, fruit salad, veggies and dip, Hawaiian rolls...I think I'm salivating. Let's just say no one left hungry, and many were requesting recipes. (And considering many of us are pregnant or nursing....let's just say we really appreciate some good grub!)

After lunch, we played a few low key games and then dug into the phenomenal cake. Now, as you'll see in the pics below, the cake was not only beautiful...and had matching cupcakes....but it was so moist and scrumptious, too! It was a huge hit. And, it was made by Marilyn's daughter, to boot! (Really! She just started her own cake business...let me know if you need her info!)

Shower Fun!

Once we were all in a good food coma and inside with the air conditioning pumping, Chris joined us as the ladies showered Audrey with some wonderful gifts. (In an unplanned turn of events, Chris' family made him sit with me while I opened. He was a good sport, and I was SO excited...cuz all eyes were on two of us...rather than just me). :) The generosity of our friends and family was endless. We received lots of the necessities that a new baby calls for and a few homemade items that we'll cherish forever. Thank you all so much for your love and support!

Below are some kodak moments from the day. [I included a few highlights, but I'm sure there are some details...and guests...left out.] :(
