6.5 weeks to go!

Today we had another ultrasound.  It was incredible to see how much our little friend is finally looking like a "real baby", instead of a skinny little skeleton.  He's just too too cute, and you can see his little chubby cheeks already!

 In this picture, our little man's nose is smashed up against the wall of the uterus.  Seems pretty uncomfortable to me, but I guess he doesn't mind.  Plus, he's likely running out of room in there!

He currently weighs 4 lbs 13 oz and is in the 47th percentile for growth.  The humerus bone in his arm measured fairly long, so he's likely pretty tall as well.  (Chapel Hill basketball scholarship?!)

Just a few more weeks until our precious little baby is here!

Shower for Baby Boy Edwards

This past weekend was the baby shower for Baby Boy Edwards.  What a wonderful weekend!  Colleen and Mom did just the best job ever putting on an awesome, memorable baby shower for Josh, myself, and our little man. 

 300 East was perfect!

(...thanks to some careful assistance up and down the stairs from the strapping Josh and Steve.)

The adorable monkey cake...

...and delicious monkey cookie favor!

Colleen prepared great (but tricky games)!

We were so glad to have our wonderful family and friends to share this day with us!

 Grandma and Grandad

 Mamaw, Papaw, Minnie, and cousins, Meredith and Daniel

Robin, Aunt Melissa, and Cousin Daniel

Uncle Chris and Aunt Kristy, and more cousins, Chase, Bailey, and Lauren. 

Grammy, Grampy, and Gee Gee (Gee?...aka "Great Great Godmother")

Uncle Steve, Aunt Colleen, and Cousin Ella.

Aunt Kelly and Cousin Ella

Tons of presents for the little guy!

Ella was very helpful opening the presents....she thoughtfully asked, "I open our presents now?"

After the shower, we went to the hotel to spend some more time together with friends and family.

Josh, Evan, Lauren, Joe, Kelly, Kelly, and Jesse

Kelly, Colleen, Mom, and Gee Gee

This one was just funny of the partying-lady-cougars!

Josh and I just had the best weekend and were so glad to share it with our loved ones.  We're so thankful that our little man is going to be born into such a loving, supportive family.
