32.5 weeks...

Well, I am excited to say we have had an increasingly active little Ethan in my tummy!  I guess because I have an anterior placenta, it has prevented me from feeling some of his movement until he has gotten this big!  He likes to wiggle all the time now!  It is now only 4.5 weeks until I could deliver my baby boy safely.  Wow!  Only one month away!  However, I am not convinced he would come early (being my first baby and such).  It is hard to believe that I will have a little boy sleeping in my arms likely in about 8 weeks!  Right now I am trying to catch up on MY sleep (which comes at a minimum these days!).

Anyway, thanks for being faithful blog readers!  As far as upcoming events in the Burson house, we will be having Thanksgiving at our house with the Hoffman family!  It will be our first holiday here and we are SO excited.  We are going to cook the turkey ourselves on the barbecue and of course I will make my signature cranberry sauce!  My mouth is watering for the delightful memories that we will accrue! :)  Hope your holidays also go delightfully!

Maternity Shoot! (at 30 Weeks)

I have an amazingly talented friend: Meagan Ramirez, who graciously offered to take maternity pictures for me!  We are SOOOOO pleased with all of the pictures but here is a sampling of her art!  She is truly talented and a one of a kind friend that we know we will have for a lifetime.  You can also check out her blog to see all of the images she took of us and of all of her other beautiful photography!  http://www.meaganramirez.com/?page_id=11

Family Time


In preparation for Ethan's arrival, my family threw me a shower!  Although, its not a belly shot, I thought this picture was appropriate to include... my mom and I!  We had a great time with family: eating, decorating onsies, and just getting time to visit!  Both Josh's family and mine were in town for the weekend and we were blessed by lots of fun and anticipation together to meet our sweet little Ethan!

This picture got me thinking: I wish that I had some pregnant pictures of my mom!  It would be fun to put them side by side! :)
