My Amazing Baby Shower

IMG_0304.jpg

I have some amazing friends. Two of my friends Caitlin and Mardi gave me a baby shower tonight. It was a really neat idea. They made it a freezer meal baby shower. So each one of my friends that came brought me a freezer meal that I can just pop in the oven as soon as the baby is here. I am so excited to have some meals that will be really easy. It will be nice not to worry about cooking for a while after the baby is here. I also had one friend that brought me a gift certificate to go eat out. So Brandon and I will save that so we can go out on a date together after the baby is born. They made some amazing food and treats. They had a Chicken Salad Sandwich that was to die for. I will have to share the Recipe with you later on the blog. I want to thank all of my friends who came to the shower. You are all so amazing. I hope you know how much your friendship means to me. I also want to give a special thanks to Caitlin and Mardi for the amazing party. You both mean the world to me. Thank you so much. [gallery]

Our Big Surprise on The Doctors

Well it has been a long 23 weeks to keep this secret. It has definitely not been easy with a seven year old and a three year old that are so excited. Back in August we were looking for a fun and unique way to tell our family our little secret. A producer for The Doctors found my blog and reached out to me as a blind mother. He told me that he was looking for a blind mother that was expecting a baby in the near future. What an amazing coincidence it was that I was a blind expecting mother looking for an amazing way to let her friends and family know that she was having a baby. Surprise! If you watched the show you already found out we are expecting a beautiful little boy on February 2nd. You can actually see the bib that they gave us in the picture that we have been posting on the blog for the last few months. The bib is in Brandon's hand along with the little model of our little baby boy!

It was so hard to wait and tell our family. The show seamed like it was never going to get here. The longer it took for us to get an air date the harder it was to keep the secret. We are so excited to finally be able to tell everyone. I am so blessed. It feels like everything is just so perfect right now. I could not be happier.

 

This is the model of our little boy that they made at 14 weeks. That is my little three year olds hand. So the baby was just so tiny at the time we filmed the Doctors. What an amazing experience it was to be able to feel how big he was and be able to hold it. I want to thank all the cast and crew of The Doctors. It was so fun to go to Los Angeles and be on the show and meet all of you. Thank you so much!

We thought you might like to see our kids reaction to being able to hold the little baby model. This is how they got to find out that the baby was a little boy.
