4th of July and Baby H's Shower

My family is absolutely the best. I have never missed a 4th of July with them...and since I couldn't make it to Cody this year (being so pregnant and all), they came to me! And I love them for it. :)  Not only did they come to visit, my mom and sisters threw Baby H and me a baby shower! It was so much fun. Mom and Sheena spent so much time putting it together, and it was perfect. 

There wasn't a poodle lady...no turtle go-kart guys...and no mostly naked men in chaps...but it was still fun. We have some wonderful people in our ward who let us sit in their lawn to watch, so we didn't even have to stake out spots too early! Scott and Dad bbq'd, and Mom made us some delicious salads. So fun.

 

Sheena and Mom made the cutest decorations ever. They were perfect. I'll be using some in Baby's bedroom and I think I'll put some of the pom poms in my classroom. :D

 

We had an ice cream bar for refreshments...YUM.

 Look at how Mom did the silverware! The spoons are behind the bow ties. ADORABLE.

 The first game/activity was to make babies out of play dough. The clay babies were pretty cute!

Then I picked a winner and they got a diaper full of candies. :)

The next activity was decorating bibs, onsies, and socks! I thought that was so fun. They turned out so cute!

Beth's bib

Yay for a nerdy baby! I've said it before and I'll say it again...this poor kid has no chance of growing up "normal."  ; )

Jessica's bib

Camilla's bib

Shannon's bib

Grandma Haderlie's bib

Grandma Haderlie's onsie

Tasha free handed this beauty. Of course there's a 'stache on the butt. :)

 Grammy's onsie. Purple kisses...of course. :)

 

Dad and Scott scooped ice cream for us. It was pretty delicious.

It was so nice and I'm so grateful for everything everyone did!

(in)Formally Introducing Baby Haderlie

We got a 3D ultra sound today. BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER. Yeah, I kinda wanted to cry the whole time. I just kept thinking, "How is this perfect little guy INSIDE OF ME?!?!" Only 10 weeks lefts and it still feels so surreal. But he is beautiful. So sweet. So beautiful. We debated about getting a 3D ultra sound, because I feel like the babies either look adorable or mushy. But then I remembered that THIS ultra sound would be of MY baby and of course MY baby would NEVER look like mush! Right? :)  Right. And though his nose is pretty mushed in the first picture, I think the rest are seriously adorable. I have so much love for my little man.

He smiled for us almost right away. See? So sweet! And look at those full lips! 

He kept tucking his chin into his chest.

This smile appeared after Scottie laughed. At least SOMEONE will think his dad's jokes are funny. ;)

Sweet profile

He started with a couple of fingers...

And then decided that he must eat ALL THE FINGERS!!

:)

Either I have a deep thinker, or this baby is peacing out with swag.

Scott was like, "Look at his huge cheeks!" I was like, "Have you SEEN my baby pictures??"

Looks like he's napping. Aaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww.

Don't you think he's beautiful too? Of course you do. I'm going to be one of THOSE moms, apparently...which is my right as a first time mom, right? Anyways. Love him. So much. Already.
