Hello Friends,

It has certainly been a hot and busy start to the summer.  Anders and I have had a wonderful time preparing for Baby Asher!  It has also been a busy time of starting school and seeing friends and family.

In May, my dear friends from high school along with their sweet moms threw a shower to celebrate Baby Asher.  Anders and I were overwhelmed at the generosity of our family and friends.  Asher received many lovely and thoughtful gifts.

We also celebrated Mother's Day by having Anders' family in town.  They were able to come for the shower and then stay through Sunday.  We had a nice lunch at our place and enjoyed hosting everyone.  Anders and Baby Asher gave me a sweet gift!

In June we were able to take a trip with my family to our place down in Panama City.  Despite getting a lot of rain during our time there, we had a great time!  We had plenty of time to relax and enjoy the beach.  Also, we had the opportunity to eat some really yummy seafood at some of our favorite places, The Red Bar, The Great Southern, Bayou Bill's , and The Old Florida Fish House.  

My co-workers also hosted a great lunch shower for us.  We were thrilled to receive one of our car seats!  We are so blessed to have such wonderful co-workers and friends! 

So far July has been HOT!  With temperatures well over 100 degrees, we have been staying inside as much as possible and getting the house ready for little Asher.  Anders has also been very busy working on his masters courses.  He is taking 2 classes this summer that will both wrap up around the beginning of August, which happens to be Mr. Asher's due date.  Anders is really hoping that Asher waits until his due date to arrive, but Mama is hoping that he may come a little sooner.

The pregnancy has been going really well.  We continue to have good check-ups at the doctor, and I continue to feel pretty good (other than being extra sleepy and a little slow-moving).

35 weeks

We cannot wait to meet our little man.  Only a few more weeks!
