Maternity

On the weekend we got some Maternity photo's done. My really good friend Jennine took them for us using our new Canon, and I edited them myself on Aperture. I think they turned out pretty darn good! I've had some people say they thought an actual professional did them but it was just Jennine and I! I think we make a pretty good team! anyways...here are some of my favourites!!! It's sad to think that I won't have my cute little bump anymore but i'm sure it will happen again ;)

I thought this would be a cute idea since Ryan plays basketball and soon he can teach his own son how to play!

That's one excited dad-to-be!

I love this one of his little shoes!!

It's so cute...he's always kissing my tummy! he said he's going to help deliver the baby, cut the umbilical cord and everything! BRAVE man!! lol So that was a lot of fun and it turned out to be a fun little project. THanks again Jennine!!!

36 weeks!

It's almost time!!! My body is ready to be done! lol we've been in a heat wave the entire week and my poor feet are swollen like balloons! Being this pregnant in the summertime isn't the greatest but i'm glad i'm almost done. it's going to be so weird not having him in my tummy anymore but I REALLY want him to come out so we can meet him and love him!!! <3

I can finally say we are all ready for his arrival! We got him a bassinet, crib, dresser and changing pad yesterday and I was so wanting to set him up a cute little nursery but it turns out we have to move out of our place September 1st!!! We can't have a baby in the place we are renting. So now we are going to have to pack up our place and move by september, aside from the new changes that are going to be happening with the baby here. I'm feeling just a little overwhelmed! but I know things will work out, they always do.

My birthday is coming up soon!!! and I've been bugging Ryan for something that I've wanted for a while and he ended up getting it for me early...he said he couldn't wait to give it to me on my birthday.....

Canon Rebel T3. Isn't she beautiful? I love the Cherry red! everyone has black so I wanted the red and I love it! now I can go picture crazy when baby is here :)

Aero likes the camera!

he's too cute.

This is the nursing cover I made. yay! now onto a carseat cover....

Baby Shower!

So last weekend my awesome amazing friend, Jennine organized and hosted a baby shower for baby and I! It was so much fun!! There were about 10 of us there, we all met at the Cheesecake Cafe, which is my favourite restaurant (we also had my bachelorette party there). We sat out on the patio and had a nice lunch, played some games and socialized! The weather was perfect and pretty sure everyone got a nice tan out of it! The shower theme was "Zoo" and I wore a cute blue sash that said "zoo keeper" on it. Cute idea! Baby got SPOILED and this is only shower #1, I'm having another shower when we go to my mom's end of August. This baby is a big deal in our family because I'm the first child to have a baby so my parents are just sooo excited to be grandparents and our baby is the first great-grandson on the Harvey side, and he's the 6th on the Shideler side...I think?? all boys on the Shideler side! lol everyone was crossing their fingers I was having a girl but a boy is just fine! I always wanted a boy first anyways so he can protect his little siblings :)

here are some pics I got before everyone arrived....
