We're getting closer and closer to meeting Dewey and we can't wait! Since my last post, we've had a family shower, finished the nursery, and I've had many doctor's appointments--all of which have gone well. Yesterday we had an ultrasound and learned that Dewey is now weighing in at 6 lbs. 4 oz.--not quite as big as they thought last time. That leads me to believe they don't really know, and we will end up with whatever size baby we get! I have another appointment Friday, but we've pretty much been told, get your stuff together, it could happen at any time. So far, my blood pressure has stayed normal, so hopefully we won't have to go the induction route.
These are the pictures from the last 3D ultrasound. Kevin laughs because every time we've had an ultrasound the sonographer says the same thing: "Would you humor me, your baby is in a great position to have a 3D picture taken. We don't do this for everyone, because it takes longer and can just open a can of worms. So if anyone sees these just say we were looking at new software." So, either Dewey is always in a good position, or she just wants us to feel special. Kevin continued to elbow me throughout the whole speech this time, and it was all I could do not to start laughing as she continued to talk.
We were really surprised at how chubby Dewey's face has gotten since the last ultrasound 3 weeks ago.
Kevin's Aunt Kathleen and Aunt Judy threw a shower at Aunt Judy's house at the end of March. Kevin's brother Patrick and his wife Tricia made the trip for the shower, and we got to meet our niece Anne Louise!! My Mom, Grandma, Aunts, and cousins were also able to come in and we had a blast. The shower was great and we received many wonderful gifts. We are very blessed in so many ways.

It was a fun weekend to spend with family, and we're so grateful they all could come in town. My Mom and Grandma definitely got much more than they bargained for when I came down with the stomach flu very early Sunday morning. They were wonderful and made homemade soup and tapioca pudding to nurse me back to health (I ate it for many days afterwards), and luckily no one else caught the bug. It was a rough couple of days. I was very grateful to have them here, and I know Kevin was probably thrilled to not have one more thing to take care of.
Aunt Beth, Amy, and Julie weren't able to come down but they sent the cutest gifts! A clothesline full of baby items, a wreath made of diapers, pacifiers, and toys, and a backpack carrier that I know Kev and I will use a ton.
Tasty and beautiful baby bootie petit fours.
I'm struggling getting pictures on here, so I'm going to make another post with the nursery pics. Thanks for reading!!

Wow! He's already almost as big as Jackson was when he was born. Maybe. ;-) I remember them telling me that Jackson was around 7 1/2 pounds and they were about a pound off. Silly doctors! =) Love the 3D pics! I love the baby shower pics! It sounds like you are doing GREAT!
