Baby V playing with his foot...

His face! :)

Over 32 weeks now!!!

Can't believe how quickly time is flying these days...I'm sorry I've been so delinquent with my blog writing - I can't believe it's really been over a month since I last wrote, yikes!

Things have been great with us - we had a fantastic couples BBQ baby shower thrown by our wonderful Supper Club friends (Amy's high school girls) Kasey, Mary Beth and Dawn (and their hubbies Paul, Kiere and Nathan). They had mini hamburgers, corn, limeades (thanks!!) and a fun game in Jeff's honor naming parts on ultrasound pics - their creativity and love are so appreciated.

We also just had a festive tea party shower in Northern VA thrown by both moms, sister-in-law Cindy and family friend Miriam. They decorated with vintage teapots and cups and hand-embroidered linens, and served yummy scones, mini sandwiches and of course delicious desserts. They even decorated the deck with a safari theme in honor of our little man...again, the creativity and love were overwhelming and we're so thankful to have such support. We were so excited that Amy's cousins April and Whitney were able to make the trip in from TN for the shower, too! Baby Vande is going to be one loved little boy!! :)

Between the showers, we've been busy around the house "nesting" - funny thing is (well, not sure anyone would be surprised by this really), Jeff has been nesting more than Amy these days since he's the project man - he's prepared the nursery (furniture is on the way over the next few weeks!) and bathroom for Baby V, and has even done painting/wallpaper in the dining room and living room - whew! Thank goodness he enjoys it all b/c it looks awesome!! Hopefully all can come to our house soon to meet Baby Vande and see Jeff's handy work...

Hm, what else...Amy was traveling a lot with work, but thankfully that wrapped up by 30 weeks - just in time for the Dr. to say "you have to slow down!" - not something I'm good at, but these days I am finding myself pausing a bit more and moving a bit slower, so that's good. :)

We'll get another official Dr.'s update on Fri. morning, but last we heard he's trending normal (although he has been trending big at times, too, so who knows!) I can tell you, though, he's really hit a major growth spurt over the last week or so, so it'll be interesting to hear what she says!

Our great friends Corey and Annie just had a baby girl ten days ago (she's precious!), and our neighbors also had a baby girl last Fri (we're hoping to meet her soon!), so we are just thrilled for them!! It really makes us feel like the countdown is on...

Below are our latest ultrasound pictures/video - probably our last until we meet the real little man!! :)

Baby Vande's heart beats strong!

His aorta (black candy cane along the spine) - Jeff was very excited to be able to see it all...

His profile - getting much bigger now!
