Baby Sprinkle

Yesterday our wonderful friends the Suden's and the Dewese's co-hosted a baby sprinkle for us and Jennings. We had a great time but I am still worn out - 35+ weeks will do that to ya I guess?!
My big helper
And I'm HUGE - can't wait until I'm able to really workout without feeling like I'm going to die!
Janet makes these for every new baby's room - our name was too long to fit so she did initials.
This little guy hung out all day and didn't make a peep - and he is 1 month old today!
And this little guy found the chocolate fondue and marsh mellows.....enough said!
Once again the guys hung out in the backyard with their favorite adult beverage watching the kids.
Several people gave Jackson big brother gifts, which I think is so thoughtful and cute. Jackson LOVED everything but his absolute favorite is the Battle Force 5 car that is sitting on top of Jeremy's 5 lb box of twizzlers. He slept with that car last night and it is never out of his sight.
Here is our loot......diapers - which we need desperately, cute clothes, toys, bath tub toys, sheets, swaddle blanket, infant positioner and burp clothes.
We stayed til bath time - 730 or so. We could hang out with the Suden's and Dewese's all day and night I think - in fact we are all getting together again this afternoon at the beach and tonight for grilled pizzas. It's so great to have such great friends that feel like family when we are so far away from our family.

I think we are pretty set for Jennings to come. I've got a few more things to wash and get ready - like the cradle. After next weekend we'll start getting some essentials packed into a hospital bag and we've still got to pre-register. I've got some nursing items I need to pick up and a few other odds and ends to grab at the store so I'm not running around at the last minute.......or the minutes after we get home from the hospital looking for stuff I forgot newborns need in the beginning. If Jennings decided to come today - we are ready with the necessities and my body is already practicing with how tired we'll be;)
