17 Weeks

What a great weekend! We had a surprise baby shower given by Megan's grad school friends in Athens.  It was so sweet...we were invited to a cookout with all the friends' spouses and children.  After being their for a while, I went up to sift through Christy's maternity clothes and when we came back down the stairs...surprise!

Grad school friends with their precious little ones...Julie with Camden, Mama Meg, Christy with little Drew in front, Julia with Grace, and Jennifer with Harper & Erin and her 3rd is on the way...due 3 days after me

Surprised!

Such sweet gifts we received... 

Lullaby Playard...it vibrates for baby and plays music!

Cute outfit with what we were told was the best receiving blanket out there

No nasal bulb for baby Fusco...we've got the battery operated one

Links for stroller, bouncer, or whatever so baby Fusco can reach its toys

Go DAWGS!!  Baby Fusco will be ready for gameday!

BOB accessory to hook on the diaper bag
