Baby Bunco

Last Friday my sisters threw me a baby shower and for the main shower theme we played baby bunco. Last year one friday a month I played Bunco with my mom and some other ladies from the neighborhood, so my sisters invited them along with some of their daughters and my friends. I dont think I got any pictures of us actually playing, but my sisters made the cutest onsies as gifts for the baby. His aunts are already so crazy about him! It was great to play with everyone again, and everyone celebrating for us and showering me with gifts was so appreciated. All of the work my sisters and mom put into made it such a nice and relaxing evening. It was a much needed girls night!

Arent these personalized onsies made by my sisters the cutest?!?! We got so many other cute outfits and great gifts, I cant post them all, but be sure to look at upcoming pictures once he is here, because he definetly will be displaying them. My mom got us the cutest little slugger outfit, we are thinking depending on the weather and how big he is, that may be his coming home outfit.

Birthday Dinner

My parents took our family out for my sister Brooke and my birthday. We went to my favorite restaurant MIKOS---a great Japanese teppan restaurant. It was great having my sister home, we havent had a family dinner with all of us in forever. BIRTHDAY GIRLS!!! My sister and I are 10 days shy of being a year apart, when I was little I couldnt wait to turn a year older so that I still felt like the big sister---these days I dont look as forward to rub it in her face that I am a year older--I can only imagine how the tables will be turned when we get older---LOL. This Saturday is actually my real birthday and I am hoping sometime this weekend Nathan and I are able to celebrate a little---maybe we will have one more date night before baby gets here?!?!? But thats not a hint to the hubby or anything ;)

33/34/35 Weeks

The Flinns have been pretty busy the past couple of weeks. Last weekend we moved to a townhouse giving us more room for baby and ourselves, and the best part is I am closer to work, YAY for not as much $ going to gas---my biggest pet peeve for the moment! Yesterday we had a doctors appt where everything is still looking great! Next week we go for another ultrasound and some other tests to make sure he isnt getting too big in there and were both healthy. Then one more week and we are considered full term....I cant wait to meet my roly poly little boy. For now we are almost completely unpacked, besides the items we had in storage---and we are working nightly on getting ready for baby....here is a picture of daddy tackling one of the many "baby gear" items that needed to be put together. I will have more pics after this weekend, my sisters are throwing me my last baby shower where we will be playing "baby bunco", and hopefully we will have pictures of all of our hard work we are planning on doing--- where our goal is the have the car seat installed, the rest of the items put together, the laundry done, and all the remaining needed items bought = shopping---my favorite part ;)

32 weeks and counting.....

Here is the latest update and picture of our little guy...still remaining nameless, although mommy and daddy think they may have it narrowed down.

Here is the little guys hand...getting bigger!

Here is his feet, both of them one propped on the other.

Dr said he is looking great, and getting very big....they estimate his weight at just a little over 5 pounds, which means he could be between a 7-9 pound baby and the ultrasound tech said he has lots of hair on that beautiful head of his. We cannot wait to hold our roly poly little baby----less than 51 days!!!

Look Who Is ONE already!!!

One of Cohens very first days....

Happy First Birthday Cohen---a little late, but I still cant believe how fast this year went by. It has been such a joy to see him grow even if we had to watch sometimes through pictures and his little coos I got to hear over the phone! We cant wait to see the changes he makes this next year.

Look at him now......the perfect little one year old

Baby Shower, Baptism, Birthday

We recently had another very busy, but very fun weekend back in Missouri. With it being our last weekend we could really travel that far until the little guy was born, it was nice to have a weekend full of visiting.

My sister in law Sarah made one of the coolest centerpieces for the family shower---a Diaper Cake!!! It is a very cool idea, and Im sure took way more patience than I have to make! My sister in law Amanda brought the real cake---sooo yummy. Nathan and Cohen spending a little time together Saturday evening after dinner---we dont get to see Cohen as often as we would like---I loved this picture of the two of them and had to share! Cohen being baptized Sunday morning. Cohen's first birthday party later that afternoon, the weather was great, and it was so much fun watching him enjoy his party---and the cake.

Nusbaum Family Fishing Trip

Nathan just got back from a week of fishing in Vermillion Bay, Canada on Eagle Lake with the men in my family. He had so much fun, and caught quite a bit of fish considering the warmer than average temperatures. Here are a few pictures from his week with the guys. He wanted to make sure we gave a great big thanks to Nonna and Pa for such a great Christmas present!!!!
