An August Full Moon Baby
As I mentioned in an earlier post it is an old wives tale that the full moon can cause one's water to break. Well...yesterday, August 24th, 2010, was a full moon and as I predicted Noah James Thompson made his arrival in the early hours of August 25th. Can I just say, I WANT THIS TO BE ME!!!!! The next full moon is on September 23rd, 2010 and this baby wants to be born on September 24th (my first Momma instinct). She is welcome to make her appearance any time after September 1st, but if she knows what is best she will decide to share a birthday with Grandma Julie!

Thank you Target
Dear Target,
Thank you for carrying a label that makes XS dresses that fit a 9 month pregnant lady. I don't care that the dresses are made from stretchable pajama-like fabric. I will wear them like they aren't. You really know how to boost my confidence!
Sincerely,
Jen
(Should have used my new camera for waaaayy better photo quality!)

My latest obsession
Alright being obsessed with clothes shopping is NOT a new thing for me. It is no secret that I love to shop. It is in my blood and has been since...FOREVER (right Mom?!) Having a baby girl makes this obsession much harder to control. Everything looks adorable, cute, and fun in a mini-size (and since I am opposite of a mini-size, shopping for myself is just plain pointless). I have loved getting hand-me-downs from Amelia and have also received many outfits as gifts that are just too cute to describe. Check them out!
California Girl! This one was a gift from a parent and student in my class last year. Mini-jean shorts. Who could resist?!!?
Little Black Dress! I have been on a mission to find baby clothes in black...yep, black. Everything for girls seems to be pink but I heard that black is the new pink;)
Aunt Betsy knows best!
Here's the not-so-mini-me at 34 weeks! Check out my HOT new camera (thanks Val, Betsy, Maggie, and their men!)

Lots of love
Jeff and I are feeling lots of love after a wonderful baby shower hosted by Amy and Colin. Their backyard was the perfect backdrop for the party.
The food and drinks (non-alcoholic mojito for me!) were tasty...street tacos prepared by a an experienced taco maker, cheese dip, salsa, no-onion guacamole especially for onion haters (OK, just me), fruit salad, lemon cupcakes, and chocolate bunt cake.
Amy planned a bunch of baby shower games to properly display everyone's true talents. Dr. Courtney can easily distinguish rice from a safety pin (phew!), Pat's water broke without a mess, Bridget and Val have an eye for how big around I am, Betsy knows the title and artist to every popular song with the word "baby" in it, and Val was able to travel back in time to figure out what we all looked like as babies. Each guest was invited to showcase their artistic abilities using colored sharpie markers and a white onesie as a canvas. Let's just say we have some very creative and clever friends. She'll be the best dressed baby on the west coast:)
When it was time to open gifts I could tell Jeff was feeling a little overwhelmed. I think he's just use to his big pregnant wife getting all the attention (you can't miss me)! As all the gifts were being opened we felt really spoiled. We got everything we need for this little girl and TONS of things we wanted! I cannot express enough gratitude and appreciation for the things we received. Jeff continues to be in disbelief as we stare at the pile of amazing gifts.
THANK YOU EVERYONE for being a part of our lives. We are very excited for this new time in our life and are so lucky to be able to share it with you! Lots of love!
