Baby Shower Weekend and Grayson in 3D

The weekend of the 13th-14th of March was filled with lots of love, little miniature things, and soft cuddly snuggly things. Saturday started off with an amazing shower given by Christine and Jef. From the second we walked in the door, there were special touches that couldn't have been any cuter. A wreath with his initials, cookies with his initials, diaper cake with mini sunglasses, delicious cake and M&Ms, alphabet book in the making, etc. Too much fun! We played two games: how many words can you make with Grayson Beck Zurlage and how many jelly beans are in the baby bottle. Then we opened gifts and spent time together. It was really incredible and he is one lucky, already spoiled little tyke. Saturday night was family time which is always my favorite :) Most of us passed out early and called it a day.
Sunday, Mom, Titi, Grama and I travelled to Lexington for a shower at Aunt Katie's. The aroma from Heather's cooking was truly heavenly. The Beck and Zurlage women came from all over the place to spend time and shower Grayson. Everything was perfect; from the food to the stories and games. We played two games; what condiment is in the diaper and how many toilet paper sheets around is my belly measuring. Currently it is at 9 sheets! YEAH! The CATS won as well...which is always a nice ending to a great weekend.
To cap it all off, Monday morning we had our 3D ultrasound back in Cincinnati. (Are you following me?! Went from Cinci to Louisville to Lexington BACK to Cinci ;)) Mom, Grama, Titi, Nick and I all got to see him smiling, moving, giving us the finger (yes, its true) and moving his little mouth. We aren't sure who he looks like! At the beginning, he looked like Mommy and toward the end, he was looking more like Daddy...he looks like Grayson is the best way to explain!! His toes are his Daddy's for sure and he sleeps with his hands by his head just like his Mommy.
His nursery is nearing completion- thanks to the blood, sweat and tears of his Nonnie. We worked hard all day Monday putting the finishing touches on it and we are so proud of the outcome. Visitors are always welcome! More to come this weekend, hopefully. Sending love and thanks to all of our family and friends. There is no way to explain how wrapped up in love I felt this weekend. We are all so blessed.

All Baby Weekend!

This weekend was a BLAST!!! Saturday, the 27th of February was such a great day. After meeting Grayson's pediatrician, we went over to Lindsey and Travis' for a day filled with BABIES!!! Brady, Carson and Dylan were the cutest little men and we had so much fun playing together. They were like celebrities being hounded by the paparazzi with all of our cameras! I think they will get used to that in no time. Then, Nonnie and Poppie came up from Louisville and we started putting furniture together and painting the nursery. It was awesome to see it all come together. We didn't finish everything until Sunday night at 7 pm but it was well worth it. Poppie's meticulous paint job looks so good and Nonnie's attention to detail is unmatched! Thank you just doesn't say enough. We love you both and couldn't have done it without you.

So, the room is now on it's way to being complete! We don't have anything on the walls or anything but it's getting there. Nick, Lucy and I love the room. Feels good just being in there. We can't wait until Grayson gets here and its filled with even more love. Mommy's belly button has gone flat which is too much fun. He is moving and dancing all the time; waking me up at about 5 am usually on the weekends. During the week, he seems to sleep in a bit (like his Daddy). I have loved feeling little body parts and wondering what they are. The 3D ultrasound is scheduled for the 15th of March and we are so pumped!!!! The basement is coming along as well...Drywall is DONE and we are ready for paint!! We hope you all are doing well and are sending love.
