Belly Progress/New Do!

Here is the latest of the belly progression photos. This is at the end of 35 weeks. Starting on Tuesday we begin weekly doctors appointments. So, we are getting there. My usually patient wife is getting antsy.
Also notice Claudia's new hairstyle. The heat was starting to get to her so the hair had to go. It will be easier to take care of James when he gets here as well without all that hair. Doesn't she look cute! This is sure to make Claudia's Mom happy too, who, by the way, will be here sometime in mid-June to help with the baby.

Claudia's Baby Shower!

On May 21, 2009 a baby shower was held for Claudia by the ladies that she worked with at Blue Valley Community Action Head Start in Beatrice. A good time was had by all. Claudia and James received many much needed items for which we are all very grateful. Thanks to Cheryl for putting this all together and Lilly for opening her house for this fun occasion. Pictures are posted below.

First Mothers Day

This is Claudia's first Mother's Day as a Mother (to be). In Mexico, Mother's Day is always celebrated on the 10th of May no matter what day of the week it falls on. Unlike here in the U. S. where it is always celebrated the second Sunday of May. We thought it was pretty cool that for Claudia's first Mother's Day, that they both fell on the same day. Statistically, I don't know what that works out to (I will wait for Mike M. our resident K.O.O.K. to let me know) but I thought it was neat!
We went to church and then we took Claudia out for Chinese Food. It was her call. We have a pretty good place here in Beatrice they use the cookbook "101 Ways To Wok Your Dog." They had buffet for Mother's Day. They normally do not have buffet. They have excellent Hot and Sour soup! That is Claudia's favorite. See you next post.
