Ready for Take Off

I had my weekly doctor's appointment today. I was worried that the baby had turned sideways and fears of a C-section were in my head. Just to make sure, my OB-GYN did a quick ultrasound. I was so excited. I got to see our baby boy! Great news, he's head down and ready to make his move! It seems the hiccups that I was feeling high on my left side are just his butt jutting out everytime he takes a breath! How cute! His legs and arms are on my right side, which is why when I lie down on my right, I can feel the pitter-patter of hands and feet. We're so excited and counting down the days...29 to go! 3 more doctor's appointments! 1 little miracle!

Surprise! It's My Baby Shower!

My sister Tara and my Mom threw me a surprise baby shower at a quaint little place in downtown Honolulu called Tea at 1024. It was the perfect place to have it, so unique and everyone had such a great time. They serve tea, salad, and small sandwiches. For desert they had cream puffs, small cheescake squares, and cranberry scones. Mmmmm! To top it all off we had a chocolate sheet cake that read, "Welcome Baby Caden". Thanks to everyone who made this afternoon so special. It really meant a lot to me to see all of you. Charlie did a great job with getting me there. I was convinced that I could never be surprised, but he took me there saying that we were going on a 'date' together. I believed him only because everyone has been scaring us with how little time we'll spend together after the baby comes. What a shocker when I walked in and saw the balloons and smiling faces. It was great! Now I feel like Caden can officially arrive. We received almost everything on our registry and within hours of arriving home from the shower, we assembled, washed, organized, and stored all of his gifts.

Caden's Nursery

Well, his room is finally ready! The endless hours of combing through catalogs and bookmarking websites is finally over. It's perfect! We're so excited to show everyone. If you'd like to stop by and see it in person, we'd love to have you.

Baby Shower #1

Our dear friends, Eve and Tim In, surprised us by having a 'baby' breakfast at Cinnamon's in Kailua on the lucky 7/7/07! The morning was complete with gifts, roses, confetti, and favors. It was an added treat to see my family there too. Thanks Eve & Tim!
