What an Exciting Week!

It has been awhile since I have posted. We have had a lot of exciting things happen and most occurred just last week/weekend.

Craig (our family repairman) had another unexpected job this past week. Our air conditioner broke upstairs and we were expecting a bunch of people at our house for the weekend because of my baby shower (including a 3 month old baby) so we needed to get it fixed quickly. Craig is so handy he was able to figure out the problem and we were cutting pipe and draining about 10 gallons of water from our attic to our upstairs bathtub at 10 pm Monday night.

Scott and Annelise had their baby! Charlotte was born on Thursday, May 28th very early in the morning. Everyone is doing well and she is a sweet heart. After frantically moving patients at the office, Craig and I were able to visit and bring them dinner in the hospital on Thursday night. I can't wait for Charlotte to meet baby Hardin. It was very cute... while I was holding Charlotte baby Hardin gave a few good kicks. I think they were already trying to play!

After we left the hospital we went to pick up my friend Melanie from the airport. She flew in from Texas for my baby shower. Melanie and I hung out all day Friday and Friday evening Melanie's mom, Anna, Lindsay, Cheri, baby Addaline, and my mom all came over to hang out and have dinner.

Saturday morning I had a baby shower over at the Walker's house. The Walker's were practically my second family growing up. Lindsay and I have known each other since we were two years old. It was a wonderful time hosted by Lindsay, Anna, and Mrs. Walker. Craig and I are so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends. We received so many great gifts. Baby Hardin is going to be very loved! We played two baby shower games. It was determined that I am not very good at identifying baby foods. I am sure I will get better with some practice!

Grandma demonstrates the "hooter hider". This gift made everyone laugh and those who have already had kids wish they had one when their kids were babies!

My friend Jamie gave baby Hardin his/her first piggy bank. Everyone laughed knowing what a perfect gift this was for us! Baby Hardin will be learning to save early like his/her mom and dad!!

My mom gave me a quilt she made for Baby Hardin to play on and some items she made and used in my nursery.

Saturday night we decided to have a cookout with a lot of our good friends. Craig smoked some pork and served his home brew. It was a lot of fun! We played corn hole and enjoyed the beautiful weather on the back deck.

Here are some of Baby Hardin's future friends: Sarah Bess, Davis, and Addaline.

Sunday we dropped Melanie off at the airport and headed to Pentecost in the Park. Each year our church has a service outdoors and the members bring picnic lunches to eat afterwards. It was VERY hot this year so we ended up eating under the shelter instead of on the picnic blankets, but it was still a lot of fun. Our small group brought food to share- a feast like always! Craig and I decided to head to the pool after church. It was so nice to get in the cool water and relax. I have a feeling I will be spending a lot of time there this summer!!

Baby Hardin also got hiccups several times this weekend. It was fun because Craig, my mom, dad, and friends all got to feel them!

I have another appointment on Friday. I will try to post some updated belly shots.
