Getting to meet Cade Pontbriand



I was so excited to meet Cade Pontbriand, especially since he's going to be my son-in-law, since him and Harper are getting married! He was so precious and so little. I was able to feed him and I attempted to burp him with no luck. I will say I was very nervous trying to burp him. I felt a little anxious that I will have no idea what I'm doing once Harper arrives. I know when she comes it will come naturally to me, but I'm feeling overwhelmed. Also, once I take my breastfeeding class I think I'll feel more confident.

After visiting with Cade, Nic, Ryan, Vic, Kyle, Brian, and I went to Japs. I absolutely love eatting at Japs, they have the best sushi EVER!!! And because of Nic, I was able to order the pregnancy roll. I always enjoy their company and I can't wait for Harper to be here to play with her boyfriend.

Our Babymoon in Galveston

Getting some sun on that belly

Relaxing at the pool

At Hotel Galvez

Brian and I about to go on our bicycle ride, that I was too short to pedal

We had so much fun on our weekend trip! Brian and I went to Galveston and stayed at the beautiful Hotel Galvez. We both took a half day on Friday and stopped downtown to eat at Ziggy's, man, I love their healthy queso! Then we headed to Galveston. Once we got their we took a little tour of the beautiful hotel. Then we decided to go to the strand and walk around. We stopped by the chocolate factory and had a chocolate dipped twinkie, YUMMMMY!!! Then we went to the ever so touristy Fisherman's Wharf for dinner. After dinner we went to the seawall and walked along the side the gorgeous beach, no sarcasm there ;). On Saturday morning we went to the DELICIOUS brunch buffet that they had downstairs, then we went for a walk on the seawall, then headed to the fitness center in Hotel Galvez. After a good long workout we went to the pool to lay out for a couple of hours. For lunch we went to Mosquito Cafe, OMG, I totally recommend this place. It was one of the best lunches I ever had. It was rated #1 on trip advisor for best place to eat in Galveston. After lunch we went back to the pool, then we decided to go on a little bike ride. We got in the little golf cart looking things that you have to pedal, it was fun at the beginning, but I was too short to pedal, so poor Brian had to do all of the pedaling. Later that night we went to dinner at a little Mediteranean cafe on the strand.
It was a very relaxing, enjoyable trip that was much needed.I slept the best I've slept since I've been pregnant. It was a great getaway before little Harper gets here. We will definitely need to make sure to continue to do little getaways once she is here too! :)

Beautiful Cake

I am so blessed to be apart of such a great school and to be on an amazing team! My third grade team hosted my baby shower and they put so much thought into it. Shelly made the cutest diaper cake that matches Harper's nursery colors, and Julie made the cutest letters to go on a book shelf in Harper's room. It was decoracted with cute lime green and black decorations and they even had sour patch candy there for me because it's my pregnancy craving! :) I got some amazing gifts, super cute outfits, and items off of my registry that I know I will use often once Harper arrives.

Harper's foot and hand

Wow, what a miracle of God! Everytime I have a doctor's appointment and I get to see her and hear her heart beat it just makes me thank God for all that he has given me and it makes me appreciate everything I have been given in life. Yesterday's appointment was so cool to see the little images of Harper. Brian and I definitely think she has my mouth and nose, but we'll see who she looks like once she gets here. We can't wait to meet her!!!!

What a fun charity event! It was a bollywood theme and I was as dressed up as I could get. There were some beautiful outfits there, with beautiful jewelry to go along with them. They had a real elephant there that you could ride and her name was Lucy. She was 24 years old and the sweetest little (or should I say big) animal. Her skin was so rough! The food was great they had an assortment of American food, Mexican food, and Indian food. The photobooth was definitely one of the most fun and best parts of the night. We just couldn't seem to get it to work. One of our expressions couldn't get it right. I also won something in the silent auction,yay!
