Front flips, man shower, and baby shower invites

I'm convinced the past two nights that our tummy monster has been doing front flips.  I will feel *kick, kick, kick, FLUTTER* and I swear he's in there doing flips or preparing for karate lessons.  It's an amazing feeling.  Trey is finally able to see him moving around and feel his kicks.  Due to my anterior placenta he wasn't able to feel tummy monster kick in the earlier weeks.  Now you can see him kick from across the room if he's putting enough power behind it.  He also likes to kick the doppler when we're listening to his heartbeat.  Apparently he doesn't like that we're peeking in on him!  I can't believe tomorrow marks 27 weeks.  It really does seem like this pregnancy is flying by.  13 more weeks until we meet our little man.

We have Trey's Beer and Diaper party this Saturday.  I'm excited to see everyone and celebrate Trey becoming a daddy.  We have an amazing group of friends and I love spending time with them.  We're doing a low key party with burgers, hot dogs, and other finger foods.  We did Trey's party via facebook events because it was easier that way!  Hopefully I get some great pictures so that tummy monster can see all the great people that are so excited to meet him.

I also designed the invitation for my baby shower.  My best friend Crystal is hosting the shower.  She is such an amazing friend and I love her little girl to pieces.  We're having the shower here at our home.  Crystal says I'm stubborn because I wanted to make the invitations but I love doing that sort of thing.  I went with something simple instead of making a ton of paper cuts.  I designed the invitation in photoshop and had them printed via Shutterfly.  They had a great deal going on where you received 50 free 4x6 prints if you signed up for a new account so I was able to get them printed for next to nothing!  You have to love a great deal!

Our next appointment is my last 4 week appointment.  We will start to see her every 2 weeks after that.  I can't believe we're THISCLOSE to the third trimester.  I also have my 1 hour glucose tolerance test at our next appointment.  They sent me home with my lovely drink.  I had a choice between fruit punch and orange.  I've heard that orange tastes like a sugary gatorade so I went with the orange.  Hopefully everything turns out well and I don't have to go do the three hour test.
