A Berry Blessed Raspberry & Buckaroo Too

A Bed Full of Blessings!!!

We were so blessed by our dear friends and family during Raspberry's baby shower. Here's an up close look at some of the fun things we received.

I LOVE the light purple and chocolate combo! Thank you Leah! And, I just melt over the tiny socks!!! LOVE THEM!

How about this too cute Pony Purse and a charming Cowgirl Backpack??? (I think I want to steal the purse as my own!) And, a cute chocolate dress courtesy of Aunt Carrie and Nana!

Here are some fun bib's that Aunt Becca made

This carousel horse is the lead theme for Raspberry's quilt I am making

Uncle Slim and Uncle Dabney went all high Tech on us...I have already started using this timer with Cromwell and at night and LOVE it! I highly recomend this product.

These outfits from my Aunt Nelda and Cousin Angela are just too precious! And, so soft!

And, the blanket with the animal print let's us walk on the wild side!

This sweet little outfit is from my Mom and Dad and the rest of the gang

These precious outfits and blankest came from Aunt Sandra

I was very impressed with the fact that John was so sweet to think of getting something for little Raspberry. I was truly touched.

I love this design!!! Thank you Grandma (aka GG-Ma)

The Scottish themed out fit is from Tante-Jo!

And my sweet hostess outdid themselves again with these fun treasures!!!

Now if Raspberry would just show up I could start using them! :)

And, this fun array was from Jayme and her two girls AJ & Phoebe!

I am SO digging the Cowgirl and Horse stuff!!! HeeHaa!

I wanted to give you some more views of these too cute ponies.

The Diaper Cake was a great idea!

And THIS is Raspberry's baby book!

My mom has this special tradition of buying each of her Grandkids their baby book!

We had a fun ladies night out right before the baby shower where we went out and found just the perfect book! I love the color combo! And, the country, but elegant look this book has to it.

My Cousin Jessica blessed me with this wonderful Moses Basket. Which was so providential. Because since we up-graded to a Queen size bed for this pregnancy (last time we just had a full size bed) the pack-n-paly won't fit in our room and I was wondering what to do so Raspberry could sleep in my room when she was first born. Problem solved! Thanks Jessica!

Oh and Buckaroo was not forgotten! He was very blessed as well!

Fun Cowgirl and Cowboy outfits from the Knox family!!!
Whoohoo!

Thank you thank you to all of our dear friends and family! We really are so loved and blessed by each one of you!

With over flowing hearts!!!

My Cowboy Speaks GREEK to Me!!!

Alright...so these are things I JUST HAD to share!!!

As I found them oh so funny!

Yesterday my husband (who is currently taking a Greek class as part of his seminary training) calls me Mater.

Huh???

(Insert Hank the Cowdog's voice here.)

Mater? Really???

The Explanation??? Mater means 'Mother' in Greek!

For the record...I am NOT letting my kids (especially Buckaroo) start calling my name out in Greek! End of Story!!!

This evening my Cowboy one ups himself and calls me his Gune (pronounced GOONEY or Goona'). Translation??? His woman or wife! Guess who else is NOT going to be calling my name out in Greek?!?!? :)

My conclusion...if it's Greek to me...then please keep it that way! LOL!

Our Last Two Week Appointmnet

We officially are out of the "an appointment every two week" mode and on to the "an appointment every week" mode. I'd like to say I am excited about that (because it means baby is getting closer to being here) but I honestly find having to go to the doctor EVERY week a BIG BIG BIG pain! :P And, I love my OB, she loves me, they love my son, and enjoy seeing him when I have to take him with me... But, even with all that...it is a pain! I am honestly not sure I SEE the reason for uping the amount of times I seem my doctor between now and when Raspberry is born. All they really do is measure my tummy, check my blood pressure, and...well never mind the other things. But, baby is still going to come one way or another with or without sitting in a doctor's office each week. Oh well. There's my little pout about spending all the time and ENERGY to make it to an appointment on time only to wait for 2 1/2 hours...every week! Phewy! Note to Raspberry: Feel free to save Mommy from this by coming early! Ha!

On another note, baby and I did VERY well in our appointment today. (Cromwell was wonderful too and charmed and entertained the whole waiting room for hours on end!) Raspberry is head down!!! Whoohoo! AND, posistioned correctly. Dr. Strain said she guessed Raspberry's wieght to be about 6 and 1/4 pounds as of today. Dr. Strain also said she was not worried about our baby's size so that means I get to skip having a sono done next week! Yippy! (Less time in the doctor's office and...let's face it...and this point I really just want to see and hold my baby not have just another picture taken!) So, all is well in baby's world. I am a bit whooped so I guess I'll try to watch a movie to un-wind and then scurry off to bed...especially as I have a busy and early morning coming! Phewy!

Raspberry's Baby Shower -10/2/10

I was very blessed at the beginning of the month to have some dear friends, Kristen and Nancy, plan and host a baby shower for Raspberry and me! All my dear family helped with all of the goodies too!

The shower theme was...

RASPBERRIES!!!

Which was perfect! And, of course provided some extra yummy desserts and treats!

Here's the cake...yummm!


And, here are some wonderful Raspberry and chocolate treats! Out of this world!!!

This cute Diaper cake was made by my friend, Jayme! I love the topper!

My cute little Buckaroo

Quite the feast

Fellow-shipping with friends

Getting ready to play a shower game

This was a fun memory match game. Once you matched two numbers you won the coresponding candy bar...
I can't remember all of them, but some were:
100 Grand = Hospital Bill
Jelly Bellies = Postpartum Tummy
Twislers = Umbilical Cord
Zero Bar = Time Alone
and so on. It was fun!

Playing a Prego scrabble game
