End of August & Myers Baby Shower (week 32 pregnancy)

We had a packed last week of August - lots of things going on and to get done :) Playtime with Wyatt, happy hour with friends and dinner at my parents kept us pretty busy. Nick and I went to Street of Dreams on Thursday afternoon to check out the houses and get ideas for our own. It was fun to see what designers were coming up with and look at pretty homes. Friday the boys had their fantasy football draft so we had Taylor and Sage over to play :) A few people stopped by to meet Sage and Kim came over to hang with us ladies. Saturday was a full of errands and set up for Kim and Sam's baby shower on Sunday. We also had the Sleeman's over for dinner and learned they got a new house in Sherwood! Congrats to them :) (Also, Wyatt is officially 13 months now...I can't believe it!)

The co-ed baby shower on Sunday was "Asian themed" with some "baby stuff" added in :) It was very Kim and Sam and we all had a blast. It was fun to celebrate baby Myers - congrats you three! Also, a huge thank you to Genny and John for hosting - wonderful venue :)

As for baby Nolan, he is moving a ton still and causing mommy all kinds of aches and pains :) I have been having quite a few contraction again so hopefully that means we are moving toward labor on our own. We have a dr appt on Tuesday and look forward to seeing how big the little man is. He is officially running out of room already and we still have 7 1/2 weeks to go!

As I'm sure many of you are, we are super excited about the Duck game on the 3rd and will be rooting our team on against LSU. Wyatt will be sporting some new Duck gear and we will be sure to take a few pics :)

Go Ducks!

Pig Roast and Bridal Shower

This weekend we had a lot of fun things planned...we got to go to the annual Houk pig roast on Saturday, which was a ton of fun. Wyatt had a blast playing in a big open field and with the balls/trucks that were there :) He didn't taste any pig - but we did get a picture of he and Nick next to it. Good job Houk's and thanks for inviting us!

Sunday I hosted a small bridal shower for our friend Courtney, who is getting married October 15th. It was wonderful to see her and to get a chance to shower her with "something blue" (the shower theme) before the big day :) Congratulations soon-to-be Fezler's!

This week is a busy one for both Nick and I with work...hopefully it cools down a bit so I can get a bit more comfortable :) No more summer pregnancies for me!

Hope you are staying cool!

I have no words...just getting bigger and it is really hot. This is not my favorite part of pregnancy :)

Sage Fetrow has arrived!

Our best friends, Taylor and Brad, were expecting their first baby around September 5th and were keeping the sex a surprise. Well, not only was the sex a surprise - but the day she was born :) Sage came almost three weeks early and very quickly - thank goodness for mommy! Taylor was a rockstar, she got that little lady out so fast and everyone is healthy and happy :)

We were there when she was born (in the waiting room of course!), which was the most special thing. We got to meet her minutes after she came into the world and it was amazing to witness Brad and Tay as parents for the first time :) Sage is in wonderful hands and we couldn't be happier for all three of them.

Here are her details:

Name: Sage Donnine Fetrow

Weight: 5 pounds, 15 ounces

Height: 18 inches

Birth time: 8:01pm

Birth date: 8/17/11

She is the most adorable thing ever and we are beyond excited for their family...she is the perfect addition! Wyatt is already pretty taken with her...sorry Tay and Brad :)

Congratulations Fetrow family!

Summer fun (week 31 pregnancy)

This has been a fun week full of summer activities...like soccer, the park and a picnic :) We have been enjoying our time outside and our time with just us 3. Soon enough we will be a 4-some and although we can't wait, we want to take advantage of the time left with just Wyatt.

Monday was the Greg Weber memorial golf tournament at Langdon and the Weber August birthday dinner. It was great to see everyone and watch Wyatt play with all of his cousins...he had a blast! He also loved singing happy birthday...soon we will have to break it to him that we don't have good voices in this family :)

All in all, everything is going well...still having contractions, but nothing to write home about. Our next appointment is on the 30th and we will see is Nolan is still measuring "big" :)

Love,

The Bales
