A Baby Shower!

As I've mentioned in a couple of previous posts, some friends of mine generously offered to host a baby shower for Daxton last night. They worked so hard to put things together, especially considering that even planning the food was a challenge between my allergies and gestational diabetes! We had so much fun getting together to celebrate his upcoming arrival though and I was so blessed at the gifts everyone brought as well. And I even splurged with a small piece of cookie cake (which I had been craving like crazy!) without totally driving my blood sugar up. Well, okay, actually I forget to take my moniter and check it so I'm not sure how high it really got but it wasn't too bad when I got home so I think I did okay. Possibly due to the fact, I also ate alot of nuts and cheese to try and balance out the protein and carbs. lol
Very thankful to all the ladies who helped out with it and made it a special time. Here are a few pictures of all the fun. I think we might have ended up having more girls there than mommas! :-)

Holiday Weekend Fun! (and the not so fun)

Our 4th of July was interesting this year...to say the least! We started off having friends from TN come down on Friday. Then Saturday we had a big breakfast and just messed around the house for the most part. That afternoon we watched a movie and starting commenting on how hot it was getting inside, only to realize that our air conditioner wasn't working! We called the guy to come out and check it while we went out to eat but he informed us that he couldn't get the part for it until after the holiday was over. Needless to say we were not very happy! It wasn't terribly bad that first night but the next day and night the heat became almost unbearable. Dathan and I both ended up with a bad headache and being so hot while hurting like that was just torture. We felt so bad that it happened while we had people over too! They were great about it though and we managed to still have a good time....in spite of all the sweating. lol

Monday morning they headed out to visit family for the 4th and we left soon after to stay at my parents until the air was fixed. It was wonderful to be somewhere cool for a little while! We had a fun day swimming, sleeping, and eating, then went out to watch a fireworks show that night. Thankfully our air is now fixed and cooler than ever! Needless to say, although we enjoyed the time spent with friends and family this year it is definitely an Independence Day we don't want to repeat again. :-) That being said, here are some pictures to enjoy of the funner parts of the weekend......or not actually! Sorry but my camera and computer aren't cooperating with the idea of pictures at the moment so I will have to post those later. Until then I hope you all had a great holiday and are enjoying this summer that is flying by so quickly!
