Today I drove up to my Mom's for Kaya's baby shower. As I drove up to the house I saw my mom outside, putting pink bows on the railings of the front porch. She saw me and immediately started jumping up and down with excitement! I felt like time froze for a moment, as I began thinking of how I never thought my mom would be here to see my kids. With how sick she has been in the past, I am so grateful she is here and that she will be able to see little Kaya. I almost began to cry as I watched her jump up and down outside in excitement. Oh how I love my mom! She is so excited, more than can be put into words.
The wedding shower was a blast! A lot of people showed up: some of my cousins, Amanda Johansen, Belinda Kuck, Broughs, Gardners, Curtis', Chuggs, Grandma Adams, Grandma Hill, Aunt Mary, and a few more. Everyone was so sweet and bought Kaya some great gifts, that she will definitely need. I am so grateful for good friends!
Also, my mom, dad, grandma and grandpa Hollabaugh, and all my siblings went in together and bought Kaya's stroller and car seat. It was so fun to get the car seat! It made having a baby more real! I have already put the car seat in the Rav4. It makes me so happy to look back and see the car seat that will soon hold little Kaya. :)

Prenatal Class- 30 Weeks
Today Jordan and I went to a prenatal class at the hospital. It was an all day class that went over everything from why I am so uncomfortable to epidurals to the actual birthing process. This was a great learning experience and quite hilarious! The class really helped me realize that I am having baby! My brain went from "Oh fun we are having a little girl" to "Holy crap, we are having a baby"! It was really good for me to come to reality a little more.
The class ended with a video of several births. You see a birthing video in health class in junior high and high school but it doesn't really seem to hit home. However, this time.......IT HIT HOME! It made me so excited to have our baby and made me realize a little more of what I really have to do. Aah! Again, "holy cow we are having a baby"!
It was also great to look over and see Jordan's face. He looked somewhat glazed over....I think it hit him that his wife would be doing what the women on the video were doing. Great moment! :)
Overall, it was good for Jordan and I to learn more about the process and realize the very important road ahead.
