Babymoon,Maternity Pics & Audrey Showers at 34 Weeks!

Hi Audrey,

The days are passing quickly and weeks seem to come and go. We can't believe that you will be home in our arms in such a short amount of time. 

So many wonderful things have been happening since the last time we wrote to you. Last week Mommy and Daddy had some maternity pictures taken. This was a very fun event for the two of us as we got to take photos and just show how much you've grown inside Mommy. Here are a few of our favorites. 






Last week you and Mommy had your first Baby Shower. Auntie Mary was the host of this amazing party. She did such a wonderful job with decorations, food and fun party games.  Below is a photo of how Mommy put a diaper on a baby blind folded. You received so many nice gifts one being a quilt made by Kathy. Mommy has been waiting to receive a handmade quilt from Kathy for a very long time. You are one lucky little girl. Grandma Gerri bought you 3 Vikings onesies. She is bound and determined to make sure you grow up a Vikings fan and not a Niners fan. Pretty sure Daddy will push for you to be a Niners fan.   









This weekend Mommy and Daddy headed to Auntie Patti & Uncle Tom's cabin in Marine on the St. Croix.  
We called this our Babymoon. Just a weekend away with one another and lots and lots of relaxation. We did a little hiking in Taylors Falls, ate lunch at our favorite burger place in Wisconsin and we had a wonderful dinner in Stillwater. 




We took naps during the day, put our feet up and just relaxed. It was so wonderful! This really helped us prepare for your arrival and catch up on sleep; which Mommy isn't doing much of these days. 





Some news about how Mommy is doing. Mommy is still doing well but has been pretty uncomfortable which she knew would happen at this point. She is 34 weeks and you weigh about 4.5 lbs which can be pretty heavy at times. You are rolling and doing back flips all the time. You love to push out on her lower left side. She's pretty sure this is an elbow or a knee. It's pretty fun to watch you do back flips. We have a feeling you'll be a very active little girl when you are bigger. 

Within 6 weeks you'll be here. A part of our family. We look forward to that day!  

With all our love,

Mommy & Daddy
