Hi everyone! We had an awesome (and very busy) weekend in Iowa - we got in super late Thursday night and left yesterday afternoon after lunch! We had eye apptmts on Friday, then went swimming at the gym and then got ready for dinner with a family friend, Lori Eggers, who flew in from California, Friday night! We had a lot of fun catching up at Bravo!
Saturday morning was the baby shower - we got so many beautiful, great and thoughtful gifts from friends and family, it was awesome and we are very blessed! Baby Riley is already loved very much! Here is the food set-up that Lindsey and Karen did! I miss those cookies already!
Aunt Lindsey handmade/sewed us a lot of beautiful baby gifts for baby boy Riley (one day Travis and I will figure out a name). She made us this beautiful blanket, I am thinking we may hang it on the wall in the nursery and when the baby is older we can use it as a blanket and a bedspread.
And she also handmade us a little crab bib and a turtle bib, a tag blanket (pic below - the baby lays on the blanket, which is on your shoulder or the floor and plays with the little tags), and sewed on appliques to the onesies she bought!
Here are a couple of the onesies:
And then we went to a 1st bday party for Claire, which is Travis' cousin's Kory and his wife Jen's daughter. It was very fun, Jen designed a lot of pink and green items and even had homemade lemonade in jars with cute little labels! We had lots of family events this weekend and the little ones aren't as little as they were the last time we were there!
Sunday morning was the triathlon, Lindsey and I drove separately and got to sleep in a little bit later, I didn't get up until about 6:08 and we left at 6:30. Rick, Karen, Travis and Cooper all did the triathlon and so did their cousin, Kyle Prendergast. Everyone did a great job - the race was shortened due to a very high heat index and yes, it was very hot, the sun isn't as strong up there as it is in AZ, so you can still be outside, but they have sweltering heat as well! Here are some pics from the triathlon:

What a crazy busy, but very fun weekend! I have my glucose testing tomorrow at my doctor's appointment to see whether or not I have developed gestational diabetes. No sugar for me tonight or tomorrow morning!
I'll update with how the baby's doing after the appointment - I am going to ask my doctor about feeling naseous at this point... I even threw up yesterday morning at Rick and Karen's house! And this baby is definitely moving like crazy - we will be 27 weeks this Thursday and officially saying "adios" to the 2nd trimester!
Hope everyone is having a good week so far!
