Yay for birthdays!!

This weekend we celebrated a 31st birthday for this momma-to-be. Though I have to admit it was hard to focus on my birthday when we are mostly interested in the upcoming birthday of Baby D!
Before birthday dinner at 37 weeks and 4 days

Bowman is still trying to figure this thing out!

We also had our final prenatal appointment with our Doula, Jessica. The next time we see her could be Baby D's official birthday! Not only did Jessica answer tons of questions, and help us to finalize our birth plan for the hospital, but she
also showed off her creative side with a bit of henna art for the belly. Henna is an ink that stains the skin temporarily, much like tea stains cloth. It was a great opportunity to honor Baby D's home for the past 9 months. He/She must have really enjoyed it too, because there was dancing in the belly practically the whole time! Jessica's art was really amazing, and what was more amazing was that she could do it with such a mobile canvas!
So the process begins
And we have the final product!

We also have a doctors appointment at the end of this week, and will continue to see her weekly till the baby comes. Hopefully in the next post I'll have more updates on our medical progress, and possibly some nursery pictures!

Denver Baby Shower at 33 weeks!

We were fortunate enough a few weekends ago to be able to get together with some of Momma's friends and shower Baby D once again. Our hostesses, Tabitha and Cousin Nancy, went above and beyond in the cute planning, and the "Cirque de Bebe" theme. I'm pretty sure the mimosas ensured that everyone (at least those of us who aren't knocked up) had a good time! Here are some photos from the shower:
