Baby shower.....

Mom had my baby shower yesterday.  It was a wonderful day for her.  She wished you could have been there but her bestest cousin and 2 best friends were there.  No one else showed up but mommy knew her most important people were there (except you) and thats all that mattered.  Nickie made some good sandwiches, a fruit basket with a watermelon shaped like a baby carriage, red velvet cupcakes with pink cream cheese frosting, and some pasta salad, and pink punch too.  So they ate the yummy food.  Then they laughed at the little girls eating cupcakes and making messes.  There was Nickie's 2 girls Josie and Jacie, and then Missy's little girl Addy and then her older daughter Kira.  Kira wasn't messy though...hahaha.  Then Kira wanted to play the shower games so she was in charge of that.  First they guessed how many M&Ms were in a baby bottle.  Nickie won that as she guessed 250 and it was 275.  Then they had to guess what items were in a pillow case just by feeling the items in 10 seconds.  Jenny won that one.  Then they had to cut a piece of yarn the size they thought was closest to fitting around mommy's tummy.  Mom was super close but Nickie was closer.  Nickie has had more practice....hahaha.  Before mom left Rhonda (Shawn's mom) showed up and she had a blanket she made for me along with a little PJ.  So mom took some pics of the stuff so you could see what she got.  All very nice stuff......Anyways, on Tuesday I will be 32 weeks.  Getting closer to when I get here.......

Luv you.......

Just saying hey.....

Hi Grandma.  I know it has been a while since last time, but things have been crazy busy around here. You know how crazy things have been with the loss of a couple family members and other things.  Loki.....I sure do miss him laying on me.  And then there is the puppies which was quite a busy mess too.  Still busy with the one mom calls Sassy or turd, but not as bad as it was.  Sassy is sure noisy some days.  Hard to sleep with all that racket.  Mom thinks its ok though cause the more I move during the day the less I keep her awake at night....haha.  She doesn't find it amusing when Sassy and I both wake her at 5am everymorning.  She just wishes we would let her sleep another 30mins.  But as soon as Sassy starts in so does my kicking.  Mom and dad have been working hard at getting my room finished.  It is down to just trim boards and a shelf which daddy will hopefully have finished over the weekend.  Mom and dad are disappointed with Menards because the carpet didn't seam together like they said it would.  But with the crib and other stuff there, no one will really see it.  And then the closet doors which are the same size, are not actually the same size......one is just a teensy bit longer than the other.  Makes mom very cranky when she looks at it......haha.  The crib is put together and mom has been washing lots of the blankets she has.  And she stacked them in the crib for now.  She even hung some snow suits in the closet and daddy thought that was the coolest cause he can see my stuff around now.  Its different to see it in my room rather than in totes and in corners of the house.  Daddy is going to be soooo busy between me and Sassy and all the big dogs......hahaha.  He might have to quit his job......hehehe.  Mom saw the doctor today and all was well.  Mom's belly measured 31 which was perfect and means I am still growing and heart beat was good too.  Mom sees the doc in 2 weeks again but she has 2 ultrasounds that day first.  They will be checking my movement and other stuff which will give them my vitals and important stuff.  Just something they want to do in high risk pregnancies.  Least mom and dad will get to see me again.  They like seeing me and seeing the things I am doing in mom's tummy.  I will be 32 weeks 2 days at the next ultrasound.  (During the last ultrasound they saw me keep opening and closing my mouth.)  This time the guy got a pic of me with my lips and nose smack up against mom.....so it looks like I have my face pressed against a window so my lips are fat.  The other pic he gave mom and dad was a face frontal again.  I look less alien now.  He also told mom I am still a girl....hahaha.  Mom also tried to get a pic of the baby room but the color just won't show true.  So she will wait until you are here to decide on curtains.  The shades are enough for now to keep light out.  Anyways, all for now.....

Love baby girl Greisen

Here are my lips and nose (like I pressed them against mom)
