Dumb Dogs!

This is a readers digest version of this story.....
Saturday, we take Benson to the vet because he tried to jump on the couch and missed, Benson hurt his leg and we get pain medication for him.  Sunday night, Nick and I come home around 10:30 to find that Roxy swiped everything off of the counter and got into the prescription bottles that had the pain medicine in them.  Benson and Roxy eat entire prescription (which is intended for Benson to take over a 2-week period by the way).  Nick and I call ER vet and they say, "bring them in asap".  We get there, both had their stomachs pumped and luckily Roxy had most of the pills in her system, otherwise it probably would have killed Benson.  
I still don't understand why Roxy is hungry all the time, I mean, we feed her like normal dogs...why does she have to eat everything??  
So $400 later and us still camera-less...we are glad they are ok, but bummed because we were going to use that money to BUY A NEW CAMERA!!!  Dumb dogs!!!
(They are still cute though!!!) :-)

New Picture

Nick and I decided that we were going to do the 3D sonogram, mainly because I won't be getting another sonogram till I'm almost due and I kinda wanted to see what our little guy is looking like.  So, we went to the sonogram and literally got ONE good picture!!!  Not because the lady didn't know what she was doing, but because baby had his hands in front of his face the ENTIRE TIME!!  I mean, I was put on my side, feet up in the air, and he would not budge.  Apparently he did not want his picture taken.  Besides him being stubborn, it was still cool to see everything.  He was head down with 2 hands and 1 leg by his head.  That's a pretty talented position if you ask me!  Here is the one good picture we got.

It's still fun to see his face and nose and hand, so I guess I can't complain, isn't it a cute picture! 

This past weekend I wanted to start organizing his room and make room for the company that we are going to be having in the next month, so I decided to wash all the baby clothes so we could put them away till he is here and so we won't have baby clothes scattered all over our house.  Somehow that turned into Nick saying I'm in my "nesting" phase.  I am not nesting yet, just trying get things organized :-)  It was fun washing the clothes though, when I'd be folding the clothes, I'd find myself just laughing at some of them because they are just so tiny and cute!  I can't wait to dress him!

My first baby shower!

So this past weekend, I had my very first baby shower in Colorado.  It was SO good to get home and see my family and friends.  The weather was awesome and we all had a great time!  I was really sad to leave, because I probably won't be able to get back to Colorado till this spring. This was my last trip till our little guy comes because I'm not allowed to travel anymore.
Rachel, my mom and Maegan put on such a great shower, I was so impressed with everything they did.  One of my favorite parts of the shower was the awesome cake that Maegan made.  I couldn't believe she made it all by herself, and it was so yummy!  Here is a picture of the cake.


I also got to see some of my great friends from high school...

All in all, the shower was a great success and we got some awesome gifts!  We mostly got gift cards because everyone knew that I was going to be flying back to Texas, but that means Nick and I get to go shopping!!  :)
Everything else with us is great, just staying busy and enjoying our "Nick and Annie" time while we still have it.  We started our birthing class last week and I'd have to say it freaked me out a little bit, but I think that's normal.  Nick seems to really enjoy it surprisingly, he says he's learning a lot.  
Baby is doing awesome, he is very active which I love....but sometimes at 3:00 am he's kind of hard to ignore, so I am awake a lot in the middle of the nights.  I guess that's God's way of training me for those middle of the night feedings!

Here is one more pictures from the shower....this is me, Rachel and Maegan.  You girls did an awesome job hosting the party!
