35 Week Update & Shower Pictures

I can't believe that I have only 5 weeks left. The time has went by so fast. I had my 34 week check up last week and everything was normal. My blood pressure was great and her heartbeat was at 152 bpm. My next appointment I will start to go every week until Ella is born, so next week I will have a better idea of her size and how I'm progressing with the pregnancy. Also this past weekend we had our birthing class @ Waukesha Memorial where I will be delivering. I think the best part of the class was when they showed the husbands the massage techniques when labor starts...Tim got good practice :). I think that they need to update the videos they use, but the class got some good laughs out of it. I enjoyed the class even though it was a long weekend, but I want to thank Tim for being so good at the class, I know that it was not that fun for the husbands. Here are some pictures from our baby shower. Hope you enjoy.

Here is my beautiful and amazing cake. It was from Simma's bakery, the same place that made our wedding cake and the same flavor as well. Mom and Dan did a great job designing the cake. I know when you look at it you may think it is a wedding cake but it was for a baby shower. I loved my cake. Can you only imagine what Ella's birthday cakes will look like :)

Here is my other cake...Carrie and Mom Blaha did such an amazing job making my diaper cake. It is now on display in Ella's room. I never want to take it apart.

Here is our Dinner Club..... It is amazing that 2 years ago we were baby free, oh how times have changed. I think now when we go out we may have to get babysitters....not just one, we may need 2 or 3 :)

Here are some friends from work. Thank you guys for coming.

Here is Sophie...the Queen of the shower. I thought this picture was so cute.

Here is another cute pic of Sophie. The camera loved her.

Here are a couple of pictures of some of my little helpers. The little butt that is hanging out of the bag is my niece, Alina. She was just trying to help Auntie Stef.

Here are my other 2 helpers...Lauren and Sophie.

Uncle Dan planned the shower...Thank you for your time and effort with the shower.

Here is the family photo.

Here is my other niece Rhyan....My little cuddle bug with Grandma.

My sister Stacie with smiles. She is such a good baby.

Thank you so much to my wonderful husband for not only coming to the shower but giving me my baby girl. I love you so much and I can't wait until we are a family.


Love Stef and Ella Joy
