Parking for Two

Ever since we found out I was prego, Tim's been wanting to utilize the Expectant Mothers parking spots. It was kinda hard to justify when I was only 8 weeks prego, but I finally caved this weekend :) I wasn't sure if I needed to waddle to the front door just to prove I "needed" to use that spot!

For guys its kinda like getting a free pass to the front of the line!

Time keeps tickin' away and I'm now down to 9 weeks left before we get to meet Papaya!

Baby Shower & BBQ

What goes better together than babies and BBQ??? Maybe beer?? :)

Debbie and Ali threw me a wonderful shower over the weekend! Tons of friends and plenty of ooo's and ahhh's. Baby Bateman is totally going to be spoiled when she/he arrives!

Are these guys the best or what!?!

Look at that spread!
Spoiled rotten!

While Baby Bateman was playing with all the girls upstairs the boys had their own party downstairs in the man lair. After the shower the rain stopped long enough for everyone to enjoy a BBQ on the deck and some yummy Free State beer.

Keepin' it South of the Equator

So even though Baby Bateman is going to have some of the whitest skin ever, we continue to refer to he/she as a tropical fruit. Maybe we're somehow hoping this reference will deter Baby B from having to wear "Pasty is Pretty" t- shirts. :)

We are moving on to our newest fruit size -- papaya! Tim and I have walked tirelessly through the produce aisles at the local supermarket judging size and shape to pick just the right name.

Labor Day Fun!

I went to visit the McElroys this weekend and FINALLY got to meet Simon! Totally the cutest baby ever! Well, of course until November :)

(Don't worry, Debbie and I already discussed that I will be a little bias come November, and she's ok with that)

Simon got to meet either his new best friend or his future girlfriend....I think they hit it off pretty well! (moms are already meddling, geez!)
