A few of Hank's gifts...is this kid spoiled or what?

Hank has already been given quite a few gifts and I wanted to show off some of them since everything is so darn cute!

Much to my delight (and to the chagrin of my husband),  Hank's somewhat metrosexual wardrobe continues to grow.   Other gifts have also emerged, each of which has absolutely thrilled me.  The nesting has begun.

I love this little onesie...too cute!  Thanks Janine!!!

Janine enclosed a quote from Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass which was the perfect pairing for this gift.  

This is a gift to Hank from Mommie.  Steve abhors this outfit but I think it is absolutely darling.  
Polo, anyone?  Perhaps brunch?  

Grandma Susan gave this little outfit to Hank, specifically because she knows that mommie loves all things stripes!

Another gift from Grandma Ray!

A gift from Aunt Shelly!!!  So many cute little outfits... 

Check out the footing for this little jumpsuit...

Another gift from Aunt Shelly - these are just about the cutest overalls I have ever seen.   Thank you, Shelly!!

Tammy Bambrick gave Hank this adorable Teddy Bear

Teddy wears a necklace that reads: "I Love Hank"  I just about died when I actually caught that.  I didn't even see it for a while.

Jason and Priscilla gave Hank an early Easter basket.  This gift is Steve approved...he liked the Tonka truck.

Oma Alex got all kinds of goodies for Hank including these cute blankets and washclothes.  Thank you Grandma Doris!!

An early gift came from my Aunt Arden right after Steve and I found out we were pregnant.  These are actual cookies!  (and delicious cookies at that) Thank you so, so much Arden!  We especially loved this gift.

For Tara...

So I promised my best bud Tara that I would post some pictures.  In this case, just one picture of me since I loathe just about any photos right now because I feel, well, frumpy.  I included a few from this Easter as well since that is when the photo was taken.

As I head into my fifth month, a small bump has finally started to appear and a certain sense of reality has begun to set in since I now have tangible proof that a baby is growing in my belly.  Feelings have moved on the spectrum from "feel like huge cow" to "feel like happy, pregnant cow and maybe if I stick out my belly a bit more, people will realize that I am pregnant and not just brazenly beefy."  This may be the first time in my life that I actually feel more comfortable letting it all hang out.

Easter 2011

Steve's made quite a meal for Easter.  In fact, he even made the makeshift grill that this food was cooked on the day before Easter.

Oma Doris & Grandpa Greg helped shuck some corn to place on the BBQ.

Sorry we did not take more Easter pics...we got excited about the food and forgot the camera after we ate.

Awkward Pregnancy Photos...

My friend Tara sent me quite a few of these pictures and I had to re post them since they are good for a laugh.

Most of these pics have made the rounds on all of the various pregnancy websites.  For those of you, however, who have not recently perused the pregnancy hot spots, I wanted to show you some of the finer examples of pregnancy poses that I have seen.

Just as an FYI, most of these photos originated from a site called AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com  If you have never looked at this site, I highly suggest taking a gander.  It is hilarious.

Didn't forget the rubber this time, eh?

Keeping it classy.. Jersey Shore style (T shirt time!!!!)

Honey, does the shot look natural?...Great.  Can you bring the ladder back now?

Winning!  - 1st Runner Up,  Mrs. Arkansas - 1994

How many antidepressants did her husband have to slip her to get this photo taken?  

Sniper 1, please take this asshole out as soon as you have a clear shot.  Over.

Just...why?

Lavender, linen and weird pervert guy in the back - great shot!

"Sent Back to the Blue Lagoon" - Part 3 (went straight to DVD )

Like the photo montage and the "think bubbles"... Clearly there was a lot of that going on when these photos were shot 

Is that Pink?

Super hot...especially the man stool thing.

Well thought out theme...

I got nothing...but I like her hat.

Nothing says love like pregnancy, black belts and cherry blossoms...

Now thats love...

Cutest Freakin' Mobiles Ever...

So, ever since we found out that we were having a boy, I promised Steve that I would do my best to not make all that surrounds him (Hank) too feminine.  (btw...can you guess who named our son?)

I have thus far failed miserably in upholding this promise.  The clothes that I gravitate towards, and indeed the ones I have bought, are ridiculously preppy.  Think a Ralph Lauren, salmon colored onesie paired with khaki & white striped linen shorts.  (Yes, I actually bought this outfit.)

I will post some of the fabulous outfits in store for Hank soon enough, but for now I wanted to show you this too-cute mobile that I found on Etsy.

We don't really have a solid theme yet for the nursery, but how cute would one of these little clouds be hanging over Hank's crib?

I doubt this will make it into the nursery given that Steve would rather see a deer head on the wall than have his son suffer a framed Honey the Pooh pic...but its worth a shot.
