Groeschl Family Baby Shower

A huge thanks to all who came and enjoyed the good food and good company at the Groeschls' a few weekends ago. Maggie was home from TN and helped plan the shower- including catchphrase "baby" style. It was pretty funny. People were acting out clues to keep it interesting. For example, Maggie acted out the phrase "nipple cream." Enough said. The shower also included (too) many gifts, pulled pork sandwiches and cake from Simma's of Milwaukee. Yum!










31 weeks

Happy New Year! All of a sudden "you have plenty of time," has turned into, "wow, that's right around the corner!" We could not be more excited. The holidays were great- we both had some time off to enjoy plenty of relaxing, laughing and my favorite, Christmas cookies, with our families. We hope all of you had an amazing holiday season as well.

Once again, very little to report in terms of the pregnancy. It takes more effort to tie my shoes, get out of bed, etc but overall, very little to complain about. The peanut is squirming and kicking constantly and it was fun to have family and friends feel the movements over the holidays. Hard to believe we just weeks away from baby's arrival.

I have to offer my thoughts and prayers to a friend and her family- one my best friends from med school, Kelly, has a sister who was due 2 days after me. Just yesterday, her water broke unexpectedly and she delivered a beautiful boy named Carter. Mom and baby are doing very well- he is stable in the NICU and had a strong cry when we entered the world. This news definitely put things into perspective for me as it truly could happen at any moment.

Thank you for your continued love and support. Going through this would only be half as fun without you!. xoxo.
