36 Weeks and Growing!

As you can see, AJ will be making his debut very soon!

Thanksgiving in the desert

The Coulson family decided to spend Thanksgiving this year in Palm Desert. We had a relaxing and fun long weekend of playing lots of games (Mexican Train, Canasta, Ups & Downs, Yahtzee, and croquet) and eating yummy food. Oh, and we also spent a good couple hours of taking Christmas card pictures. My mom wanted to take them in front of every fountain and tree in the entire Marriott resort. Love you mom.

GAG shower

My wonderful college friends threw a baby shower for me in the central coast. It was fun to visit SLO and to hang out with my girls. Like always, they spoiled me with baby love and gifts. I love you!

2 boys and a girl

God welcomed 3 of his beautiful children to the world this week. Brady Pray came first (11/2), then Matthew Williams (11/3) and finally Hannah Vanoli (11/8). Kelly, Chrissie, and Michelle are wonderful friends and I know they will be fantastic moms. Congratulations ladies...can't wait introduce your little ones to AJ. :)

AJ's first shower

Four of my mom's great friends threw me an over-the-top baby shower. It was fun to spend the afternoon with family and friends and a bit overwhelming to open so many generous gifts. It makes AJ's arrival seem even more real (and soon!) with all of the baby stuff taking over our living quarters. Thank you to all who showered AJ and I with baby love!

Halloween Fun

Here are a few pictures from Matt and Di's Halloween/Housewarming party. I went with a low budget costume and resorted to a Pumpkin trash bag and a toilet paper roll stem. It was comfy and my round belly filled out the bag quite well. It was fun to hang out with family and friends and to celebrate the beautiful new home my bro purchased in Portola Springs. We look forward to next year when little AJ will be with us. :)
