Family pictures

With everyone there it was the perfect opportunity to take some family pictures! It would have been complete if my brother and his family had been able to be there! 

Oh Jonathan...

Gimpy Dad :)

Marissa had to take a picture with Grandma to show that she is almost as tall as her! Seems like just yesterday she was a teeny tiny baby. 

Geiger shower

Jeremy and I pulled into NY at about 11:30am after driving all night, stopped at his parents quickly and then headed over to my parents just in time for our first shower that started at 3pm : ) 

Here are some pictures from our day! 

Thanks Sarah, Sami and Rachel for the pictures! 

My silly self and big 'ole belly : )

The hat that Marissa and Madalyn made for me to wear at the shower (thanks to my dad for suggesting that)

This girl right here (the big one) completely made my day. She is my adopted sister. I've known her since she was a little girl. Well she is all grown up and off to college now and made it seem like she wasn't going to be able to make it to the shower. Well, when I got to my parents guess who was there waiting for me! It was so great to see everyone, but she was the cherry on the top! 

Let me explain: Sami (my adopted sister above) and her family gave us a corn teether. They are farmers. Sami said it would be so much better if the ear of corn spit out butter when it vibrated...

...you probably had to be there...

Such a special moment...My sister wanted to get Seth a Monkey, but after we went for our anatomy scan and we saw Seth sucking his thumb, Madalyn pulled rank. Madalyn has two of these puppies and was a thumb sucker herself, so she is the expert on these things and said that baby Seth needed a puppy. You see, you can't use the hands or feet to rub while you are sucking your thumb, it has to be the ears, and the monkey's ears were too little! : )

Homemade hats from Marissa and Madalyn <3 

Sarah's showing me how to use my boba wrap! 

I love it! And so did Lily : ) 

Thank you SO much to my mom, Sarah, Liz, Rachel and her mom for ALL they did for our special day. I wouldn't have wanted it to be any other way. Thank you to everyone who came out and showered us with your love and support as well. We are truly blessed. 

Time away

What a wonderful spring break Jeremy and I had. We hadn’t been up to NY since Thanksgiving of last year and although we are normally apart from our families for even longer than this, we were both ready for a break that included getting to see our families. We were blessed with two baby showers and I just want to take a moment and thank everyone who came and ‘showered’ Jeremy and I with love and support for our little Seth! An even bigger shout out to the awesome hosts of our showers. They were simply perfect. We are very excited to start getting Seth’s room all set up and find a spot for each little thing.

Saying goodbye wasn’t all too easy. Not that it ever is. I’m blaming pregnancy hormones. Having my mom 15+ hours away isn’t the most ideal situation, but being pregnant and thinking about delivery and having our little guy so far away has definitely started to sink in. This is something I could definitely use some prayers with! Luckily and thankfully I serve the Lord who holds and knows all. I can trust that He will either give me the strength and wisdom to do this or he will supply Jeremy with an equally awesome job a little closer to family : )

Once I steal some from my sister and sister-in-law I will post some pictures of all the fun we had!
