Howdy! We (especially Joshua) have been very busy! I'm now over 31 weeks pregnant which means our little booger can really come at any time now. It would be pretty early but still possible, so we've been working hard to get his nursery ready for his arrival. Friday night and all day Saturday, Joshua worked on his room by putting together furniture, hanging up his name and cleaning out his closet. I helped him as best I could but he was definitely Super Dad.
His room is looking pretty good at this point but I'm going to wait until we've finished with the final touches before I post any pictures. You'll have to hang on just a little bit longer! Today Joshua finished up the furniture by painting the rocking chair and toy box white. It's adorable!
One of the main reasons I wanted the nursery put together last week was because I had a strong feeling that my baby shower would take place over the weekend. Everyone tried to be as sneaky as possible about it, but I knew to be prepared for any event that I was invited to. So when I got an invite to celebrate my cousin, Natalie's birthday on Sunday, I had no choice but to suspect the shower. I arrived at Carmine's at 2:30pm on January 25th to a big "SURPRISE!" as I walked in the party room. My two sisters and cousins (Kate, Cherie', Brandi and Natalie) threw an amazing party, and I was overjoyed to see all of my family and friends there. I truly felt special, and it warmed my heart to see so many people excited about our little boy and so willing to help out by giving all of the wonderful gifts. I was literally opening gifts for about an hour and a half! Thank you all so much for everything! You have lifted a load off our shoulders by providing us with the essentials that would otherwise be incredibly difficult to afford these days. And thank you so so much to the girls who brought everyone together to celebrate Baby Beckham! You all did an amazing job!!
One of the center pieces at the shower was an amazing diaper cake that Brandi made. It is so fabulous that i have to post a pic of it!
Beckham should now be weighing around 4lbs, and he certainly feels like it. He feels like a giant baby moving around in me, and he's actually expected to gain about a half a pound per week from this point on! He's gotten big enough to where I can now see him moving almost every time I feel him. Whenever I feel him move now, I hurry and look at my stomach so I can catch sight of it. Last night I was laying on my side on the couch watching him move all around like a little alien trapped in me. Soon I hope to catch him with my video camera! 
saw it!
