Baby Liam's Shower

It's been a while since my last update, and you probably guessed why -- the third trimester sure doesn't give you a lot of room for leisure activities (at least for me!)! Nowadays, I spend most of my time sleeping and saving energy for important tasks I can't escape like errands and school work. It's actually really comforting to know that Liam's taking up so much of my energy -- I know he's putting it all to good use... I can definitely feel him getting bigger and heavier by the week!

We had our baby shower about a month ago, and it was absolutely wonderful, despite the weather. It was cold and windy, so major props are due to all our families and friends who made it out, even for just a little bit. (Oh, and a huge thanks to Tenya for saving me and sacrificing her super warm coat for me -- I had definitely underestimated the weather and came dressed for a warm day!) Even more props are due to our family and friends who put the whole event together for us. I read an article about baby showers, and I can see clearly now why it's very common for the mother-to-be to be largely uninvolved -- no matter how involved I wanted to be, there was just not a single fiber in my body that could muster up the energy to put into planning an event. Therefore, we're so grateful for all of Liam's aunts that made that day possible. :) Photos, courtesy of Love Leaf Studio, can be found here.

Again, we thank everyone who was a part of this special day. We are blessed beyond words, and can't wait to meet Liam in just a few more weeks!
