The Tummy Table

Tami is now 35 weeks.  The last few weeks have been fun and interesting.  Damien, our 9-year-old nephew, came to visit for a few days.  We had a blast!  Things we did: Casa Bonita, Denver Downtown Aquarium, Coney Island, Hot wings, Rockies game, the Alpine Slides, and lots of playing at the park.  Unfortunately, Tami was unable to participate in some of these activities, but she has been a real trooper!  She's carrying around a honeydew which weighs more than 5 lbs...yes, Selah is weighing in at around 5 lbs.  Due to lack of space, Selah no longer punches and kicks, she simply squirms and pushes.  Selah still gets the hiccups, but at least she's not giving mommy a right-hook while doing so.  

Tami was not able to join Damien and me at the Rockies game and the "going up" & "coming down" of the Alpine Slides.  But at least she's able to use her belly as a table--even a coffee table--we call it the "Tummy Table."

April Showers Bring May Flowers & May Flowers Bring...Baby Showers!

July 29 is the official date of Selah's grand arrival, and it is approaching quickly.  End of May was BIG...two baby showers and 1700 miles of traveling (all of which were driven with an almost 8-month pregnant lady).  *For the record, when your pregnant wife needs to "go,"--it's serious--she needs to go!  Speaking of "going"... Poppy changed his first diaper ever!  Sis gave birth to twin girls in March and Uncle Ryan learned the ways of proper diaper changing (thanks sis).

First was the Denver baby shower at Val's (Tami's sister), then to Missouri to see the twins and another baby shower, then to Omaha for Chelsea's (Tami's younger sister) high school graduation.  And finally back to the great city of Denver.  Now it is already June and Tami is 33 weeks!  Her belly is getting bigger and life is getting better.  I may be a bit biased, but she's the most beautiful pregnant woman I have ever seen!

Missouri Baby Shower at Mom's..."Shampoo is better.  No Conditioner is Better." (okay a sick joke from Billy Madison)



33 Weeks & BEAUTIFUL!
