MATERNITY PICTURES

Diaper Shower

Gretchen and Jayson hosted a diaper shower for us on Friday....we were showered with LOTS of diapers and wipes. This will give us a great start for Addison's diaper needs. We enjoyed food, fun, and fellowship.

2nd Wedding Anniversary

Today we celebrated our second anniversary as Mr. & Mrs. Tavera. This is our last anniversary without Miss Addison Mae. Although we've only been married two years, we have been in a committed relationship for 10 years all together. We have experienced the highs and lows of life and are happy to have done so together. We are super excited to spend the rest of our lives together - especially with Addison Mae.

Addison's Room is TOOO cute

35 Weeks and Counting.....

Addison is growing ALOT and so and is my belly. She is a wiggle warm and is always squirming around. For the last couple of days she has had lots of hiccups....poor thing. We went by Kings Daughters Hospital on Memorial Day and took a tour of the delivery rooms and the nursery. We are getting super anxious to finally meet her. The count down is on - 5 weeks (or less) to go until we meet our sweet Addison Mae.

3D/4D Ultrasound

We had a 3D/4D ultrasound this past weekend and enjoyed every minute of it. Gretchen came along for the entertainment. We spent an hour glued to the screen in amazement of the gift from God that is developing within my body. She was very cooperative - imagine that .... she already likes her picture taken. Not only did we get to see every body part and facial expression, but we had a dvd made of all her movements in the womb. She is VERY active, which I have been telling everyone. For a moment she actually had the hiccups. It was interesting all the crazy positions that she was in, but space is limited since she is getting so big. It was fun to see that she already resembles Chris and me SO much. She has the Tavera nose and my lips and toes. Although the ultrasound was wonderful, it will be even better to hold our little blessing in our arms. 9 more weeks to go.

Note: The lumpy/gooey image that appears on Addison's face is the placenta. She is head down and face up.

We have a name....

We have officially named our little girl - Addison Mae Tavera. It was quite a process, but have finally both agreed on the name. Today Addison had her first baby shower. My sweet friends in Temple showered her with lots of gifts. Her closet is full on baby clothes and gadgets. This is a picture of two of my friends at the shower who are pregnant too! It's nice to have girl friends that are going through all the same things.

28 Weeks!!

Planning Baby T's Nursery & Name

We have officially cleaned out the closet in Baby T’s room. She actually already has clothes hanging in there. We ordered her nursery furniture last week and it should be here by the end of April. We experienced a little bit of sticker shock, but she is going to have the nicest nursery set ever (in our opinion). I’m sure the bigger Maegan gets the less she will want to work, so we plan on getting Baby T's nursery all settled by the end of May. We are still on the name search – we both love the name Addison, but can’t seem to find a middle name that we have fallen in love with yet. We are trying to be patient and aren’t going to settle until we both agree. We also just found out that our neighbor is having a little girl too…so excited!
