We made it....32 Weeks along

Seeing as how we're officially 32 weeks now, a lot changes!
I will be going to the doctor every 2 weeks now (yay for the drive to the medical center) and then it will go to every week in our last month. If I carry full term---I've got only about 8 weeks left...unreal! It has really gone by fast which makes me smile, yet scares the crap outta' me too. I like knowing that very soon we will be holding Brooklynn, but I hate the thought that she will grow as fast as the past eight months have gone by---boooo! :(
She is moving like crazy right now and at our last ultrasound, we got to see her smile! At least what I think was a smile! It was fantastic! :) Ryan went away for the weekend, fishing with his buddies. I'm glad he still enjoys time with his friends, it's important--- plus, I love him with all of my heart, but it gives me a break too! Time apart is great; you miss each other that way! While he was gone, my Aunt Linda threw me an all girls shower, which I had family surprise me by flying in for!!! It was so awesome to see everyone! The shower was a blast, her and my cousin (Tonya) really worked their butts off to make it perfect, and my mom worked her butt off to make the most delicious, fantastic, white chocolate, strawberry cake *mouth watering*!!! Thanks to everyone that was there! Thanks also to Kelly for flying in to be here (and helping sort out the nursery) and to Unlce Ricky, Aunt Missy and two of the most adorable, big-hearted girls in the world, Savannah and Sarah (my two little cousins) for flying in too! :) I was super surprised!!!
I got a ton of cute stuff at the shower, clothes were a hit- Brooklynn is going to be a super-fashionista for sure! I hope to see everyone this weekend at the co-ed shower/party! If you did not receive your invitation, you should have....please let me know!!!! Some people informed me they had not yet gotten it in the mail- I no longer trust the USPS; they're just not what they used to be!

You can e-mail me at shannan@hargraveelectric.com and I'll e-mail you the invitation. Ryan warned me that I should do an e-vite instead of mailing them, but it just seemed so impersonal for a baby shower....maybe I should have listened to him though *hmph!*

I hope everyone is doing great! I can't wait for this weekend and I hope to see you soon!!!
With lots of love!!!
Shannan, Brooklynn and Ryan (I'm seeing a pattern here-not done on purpose!) :D

P.S. I will be adding pics of the updated, yet unfinished nursery today! :)
