Bundy/Cosby Baby Shower - November 15, 2008


Baby Bundy's first "showering" of gifts was at a shower with the Bundy family for Auntie Grace and myself. The shower was hosted by cousin Beth Larivee and Auntie Val. The location was The Veranda Restaurant at The Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego. It was a lovely location and an amazing day (a little warm, but so beautiful)! Beth and Val did a great job of creating a cozy and classy shower for us. The guests got to name both baby boys with all the letters of the alphabet. There were lots of "Xaviers" and "Quincys." We also had to "complete the nursery rhymes," of which I could barely remember any... and Beth read beautiful quotes and scriptures as the "showering" ensued.

The gifts were wonderful and I could hardly believe that all these little things were for MY baby...

It was a day that I will remember forever!

Thanks Beth, Val and the whole family!

First Baby Bundy Blog! (seven months)


Here is the Bundy family at 26 weeks along and counting. I'm not sure who's more anxious for our little guy to be out, Jon or me. I of course feel uncomfortable and just generally miserable all the time and would love to have him in my arms instead of in my belly. Jon can't wait to take him off-roading and scuba diving (it's gonna be awhile honey...)

I am now actually 28 weeks along and can feel our little guy doing his jumping jacks inside me right now and all the time! He comes alive at night but lately he's been so active ALL the time.

I've been having headaches often, and I feel like it's getting harder to move around. (Tying my shoes is a challenge.) My fingers are also swelling a bit and look like little sausages. But I'm still working every day and there's always so much to do at home.

This last weekend Jon and Auntie Val helped me get the baby's closet cleaned out and ready for clothes. We already have plenty of Newborn clothes, new and hand-me-downs. The crib and basic furniture is up and ready to go, although we still need a changing table. (I'm gonna hit the garage sales soon!)
