29 & 36

I turned 29 last week and also 36 weeks pregnant! Where does the time go!

Here is the well nourished belly!!!

 My very sweet Co- workers threw me a "She's about to Pop" baby shower as well and we had a blast!

A few of the best Nurses around

Thank you Stef for your very sweet home grown gifts!

  Mama Terri! I joke and say she's my "Doula" but she's an amazing nurse, and I really hope it works out that she can be there for the birth of this little one because she is the best labor coach I know!

Katie showered us in a huge way with way too much! Thank you Katie!

Another great Nurse and friend Julie :)

Here is some cabin progress!!! 

 Adam has recruited lot's of helpers for this cabin project, this day it was Jacobs turn!

Adam's cousin, and Grandpa on a cabin build day

With the hot weather we have also enjoyed some time in the water, here is a little sneek peak at the bump cooling off and Colton's Bachelor party!!!!

Looks like those boys had a good time!

Count down to baby

It seems like time is REALLY flying as we get closer to the Due date of our little one! In true Adam and Nicole fashion there is still plenty to do, so I'm kind of wishing I could stop the clock a little bit, but we are so so excited to see this little person's face and find out if we are parents to a little boy or girl :) In the last few weeks I've fought a little bit with some off and on pre-term contractions which put me into baby cloths washing, room organizing, book alphabetizing overdrive! That probably was about the worst response to the come and go tummy hardening, and all had to be put to a stop when I worked this weekend. We had a nice a slow weekend at work and I had 12 hours of being baby'd by some of my favorite nurses and not a contraction all weekend! I'm convinced the cure is slowing down just a bit which is a little hard but well worth the cook time this little sprout needs :) Who would have thought work would be the cure?!

 Here are a few room updates- this is one of the paper mache' hot air

balloons that my Mom made for my baby shower!

 Here is the closet with the carpet in :)

 ...and the closet with the wall fixtures in

 The dresser, still figuring out the organization here :)

Lucky for us the crib was a piece of cake to put together!

A couple of random fun prego pic's~

 We snuck away to the coast for our 2nd anniversary. I think it was one of the few weekends it's been pretty hot around here, so this luck prego got to enjoy a comfortable 65 degree's!

Oh pregnancy cravings! I guess they are real because this 5lb box of cherries was gone within 48 hours with little help from Adam! I'm really loving watermelon, grapes, cherries, and nectarines. I wish I could say all of my favorites are fruit but I went on a 2 week bender of Vanilla ice cream Sundays too. Every night after Adam would go to bed I would scoop out some Vanilla and pour some choco syrup on top and ahhh perfection! Baby needs calcium right now for growing bones....  :)

Well it's on to the relaxing work of onesie embroidery for me! My good friend Kara had these made for me at my baby shower , and while many talented Mama's are making their babies quilt's and and hand knit booties, I'm working my sad attempt at crafty-ness by in-n'-out stitching around these super cute iron on's! Baby steps!!! 

In exchange for work photo's here are some cabin building photo's! Adam's been kicking butt on building his very own cabin!

 

It hasn't been all work and no play for Adam, he and Logan spent a Sunday on these bad boys~

 

 

I think our sweet little baby will be in for some adventures with a Dad like Adam :)

2 years down forever to go

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful Hubby! Can't believe what a difference just 2 years make. We are now lucky enough to be planning for our baby in just a couple short months! Thank you for always being so much fun, for teaching me new things all the time, for reading to our baby at night, for being just difficult enough to keep me on my toes, and for everything you do for me and our little person on the way. I could never have dreamed up or planned a life so different and perfect!

Rain and Showers!

We have been getting some Oregon summer lately with plenty of rain keeping us all from having to water our lawns and gardens! In the midst of all of that summer mist we have had some baby showers!! 1st we celebrated Angela and Charli in a beautiful shower to help her welcome her soon to arrive baby girl! I have got to say her Mom is amazing and set up some beautiful decorations, along with Jess, and Kara! I'm so bummed to say that I don't have a picture of the garden/fountain area she had set up but let me tell you it was amazing! Here are some pic's from Ang's special day :)

Okay this is kind of a marathon but here goes! Here are some pictures from my baby shower! First I just have to say a HUGE thank you to my Mom, my sister, Betty, Kara, Jess,Stac,Ang and Krystal for the over-the top amazing shower! These girls seriously did more than I could have ever imagined! Everyone of them has such a giving heart and I could not be luckier to have these ladies in my life. There isn't a thank you big enough girls!

 We had some sweet little faces at the shower, my great helper and adorable niece Kaylie! Love this pretty little girl!

 Speaking of sweet faces Brian and Libby's daughter Amelia joined us too!

 As well as Jami's daughter (Who is growing up WAY too fast) Jill!

 Cooley Sis pic ( We missed you Rach!)

 My Aunt and Grandma getting started on the super cute onsie making project Kara headed up! Everyone was kind enough to make a Onsie for our little peanut, here are some of the finished products-

 Kara and Krystal running the Onsie station! This was such a great shower game. Thank you again Kara for all of you hard work and cute idea's!

 Great Grandma Shirley

 My Dad crashed the party because it is always a special treat to see my great grandma Beaman (Babies Great Great Grandma, how special is that?!) and my Grandma, soon to be great grandma Dottie!

 I was so lucky to receive the most beautiful handmade gifts! This is a blanket that Betty made, I wish you could feel how soft it is! It's truly special and amazing.

 Krystal got crafty with this sign she made! Cute! Cute!

 This picture doesn't do Stac's window coat rack any justice! It is adorable!  

 My sweet best friend from High school- Kalee. She is a new Mom as well so we get the privilege of having our kid-o's grow up together! I can't wait for them to meet!

 My Mom and Betty! 2 star's of the shower! Thank you so much you two!

 My pretty cousin Lindsey :) So glad she made the long drive to come and celebrate with us!

 Putting Lou to work! Thank you for flying out and hanging out, now I can't wait until September because I get a baby and Nate and Natalie!

 This is the front of the adorable card Debbie made for us! She has amazing artistic skills! We already have this in a frame on baby's dresser! Thank you Grandma Debbie!

Even though Nat had only been gone 23 days (but who's counting?!) It was awesome to see her again! It was a whirl wind weekend but I can't wait for our next visit!

Oh and here is Adam's work week picture. I hate when he comes home like this, but in the battle of man vs. tree, looks like the tree struck back! Goes with the job I'm told. Hopefully something a little more scenic next time!
