33 Weeks and Daddy is turning 33

Week 33 has arrived! With it being summer we are sure staying busy all the way around. What a blessing it has been to have so much time with friends and family. We celebrated with a baby shower hosted by the Tostado's, 4th of July BBQ at the Cornelio's, and a trip to the county fair. Not that once Isaac is here we will become hermits that never go out, but I know we have been taking full advantage of spending time out while Isaac is still safely cooking in the oven. With Isaac's arrival is getting closer and closer and I am more than elated to report that our health has continued to remain stable and the only contractions that I have been feeling are random Braxton Hicks. It is going to be Eddie 33rd birthday this Saturday, and we are celebrating 33 week as well...it just seems so fitting.

The shower hosted by the Tostado family was perfect in many ways. It was such a great time to get all the family together to just relax and enjoy food, drinks, and great company. We even got the wonderful surprise of Eddie's oldest sister and brother that came all the way from SoCal! Family means so much to us both and it is was great to see our families together and what Isaac will one day be a part of. What was a small shower turned into a all day/night party!

The 4th of July has always shared a special place in both our hearts. This year marked the 8 year anniversary of when we met. Of course I am sure that being pregnant my emotions are running more fluidly (aka I get 'choked' up easy) but, I can't help but think back on all that we have been through together in these years and it just makes me get teary to know that we are just at the begging of starting our own little family. Eddie is truly my best friend, and more that I could of ever dreamed for in a husband in many ways. Now that we have an official anniversary (our wedding day) we still acknowledge our special day but we don't exchange gifts or do a fancy dinner we just like to enjoying the day and spending time together.

Last night Isaac and I went out to the fair with my parents, Belle, and AJ. This was another one of those take advantage of Issac being in the oven. I have not been pushing myself to do all these things but I have the energy and I am not on bed rest so I feel that I want to do these things. Making memories with AJ and Belle has been something that has always been really important to me. Seeing how much they have grown over the years just shows me how fast the time does fly with kids. They had a blast, and of course Papa spoiled them the entire night. It was fun to do the kid things at the fair with them, they got to see the show rabbits, model trains,  and cowboy stations. We then enjoyed some Izzy's BBQ and had squeezed lemonade and headed on over to the kids rides. Their little faces just beamed with excitement from the lights and carnival noises.

 Family is something that is precious and means so much to both Eddie and I. This past week spending so much time with our families has really taught me many things. I thank God that we are blessed to have both our parents in our lives, our bothers and sister to learn from, and our little nieces and nephews that continue to grow and amaze us every time we get together. All I can say is that Isaac is going one lucky kiddo. He had so many people just waiting for his arrival, and can't wait to welcome him into our lives.

Things to look forward to this week: It is going to be Eddie 33rd birthday this Saturday, and we are celebrating 33 week as well...it just seems so fitting. Getting all the baby clothes washed and organized, and a baby shower for our friends the Angulo's.
