2 month difference

I can't believe I'm posting these because I feel like they are horrible but I want to remember. My face in the last one is so swollen! I can't believe I thought I was big in April, I had no idea what was coming!

May/June

I don't even remember what happened in May. Chris' sister Melissa got married, we were both in the line. It was a very pretty ceremony and we are so happy for her.
the first weekend in June we had my family baby shower. We decided that her name would be Berkley Grace Horne. My sister and I had talked about this name well before we even knew she was a girl and I just couldn't get over it. Luckily Chris liked it too! For my shower we were very spoiled with lots of cute clothes and great company. I'm so happy so many people were able to come! My cousin makes the wood block letters and I asked her to make them for me. I pretty much started crying when I seen the final product!  They match her nursery perfect and I just love the way they look. Speaking of crying the pregnancy fairy came again in May and brought a much need pedicure for me on mothers day. Then for the shower my talented sisters A.K.A. "the pregnancy fairy" printed up all the cute little sayings we had received and displayed them with all the gifts.
The last one, I couldn't even get through reading it, I'm such a baby, but the thoughts and gifts meant so much to me. For the last pregnancy fairy gift, we were given a scrapbook, to document Berkley's first few years. Again que tears here! `
"Today as you celebrate the date is growing near, only 1 month remains until your baby girl is here! This month the fairy brings a gift for her AND you, take a look and you will see exactly what to do. Write down all your memories and all that you will see, List all the talents, her strengths and her beauty. There will be some times of laughter and even a few tears, this book will keep the memories of her for years and years. And when the timings right, you will want to know for sure, Wrap this book up so pretty and pass it on to her"

April recap

I don't know how the time is moving so fast but if it could just slow down a little bit I could possibly keep this blog updated!  In April we focused a lot on getting the nursery ready. We also got another visit from the pregnancy fairy and Chris celebrated his 26 birthday. Man he is young! As the months go by I am feeling bigger and bigger and older and older! She isn't even here yet and I feel like I have aged a ton! My glucose levels came back elevated so I had to go back to the dr. and take a 3 hour fasting test, which was not fun! My mom came with me and sat all 4 hrs with me which was a huge help. The drink is probably the worst thing I have ever had to guzzle!  and when I say guzzle, they literally make you drink it within 5 minutes!  it's horrible! The test did come back normal so I don't have gestational diabetes which is a huge blessing!  I like food and sugar way too much to have to deal with that!
I painted a shelf for the nursery that I vision her name sitting on, once we get that picked out:)

the pregnancy fairy brought something just for Dad this month, it's probably hard to read, but basically Daddy hopes she is a Broncos fan.
we got the crib put together and most of the nursery set up. My sisters and mom are going to come up and help with the final touches. it is going to be so cute once everything is done! I can't wait!
