One of the sweetest moments in the world

I'm over 35 weeks pregnant now and feeling pretty uncomfortable!  Luckily I have a sweet husband around that tries to help me.  Like when he rubbed lotion on my poor, dry feet that I can no longer reach!  Yes, it did take some sweet talking by me for him to get it done.. but in the end, he's a good husband.  What I adore more than all of that is when I am restless at night and using all of my strength just to swing my large belly from my left side to my right, and my husband hears my groaning and tries to soothe me and his baby girl.  It's so sweet how it's an instant reaction, he reaches his hand out and rubs my tummy for several minutes!  Last night he tried to pull my t-shirt down to cover my belly too... but unfortunately my belly is outgrowing many of my shirts so that didn't happen! haha

Baby shower for Isla doodle!

My dear friend Tara Drollinger and her Mom (my PM, pseudo mom) threw me a lovely baby shower on the 7th of August at their home.  They served brunch with egg casseroles, blueberry bread, different types of muffins, cupcakes, orange juice and coffee!  It was delicious!  Then it was on to gift opening, we had a wonderful turn out.  I was pleasantly surprised and overjoyed (even with the hurt of missing both Moms that day).  Isla was given so many clothes and books, it was amazing!  Aaron and I were so happy with the mini-library we're able to start with!  Isla was given many classic books and we plan on reading to her quite often!
I wanted to post just a couple of  pics because I forgot my camera and I had to rely on Jeanne to do the pics for me!

This picture was taken after the shower with Isla's Grandpa (my Dad), we were comparing our bellies!

This picture is with my two best friends (Isla's Aunties) at the baby shower!  I just love these two! 

Tara Drollinger & Sharlyne Rael

I will post more pictures once Jeanne sends me them from the shower!  Thank you to everyone who was involved in this wonderful day, I appreciate it all! 

New car for the Nolan family!!!

This isn't the BEST pic of the new car, there's shade and it's taken with my phone.. but you get the idea!  We traded the corvette in for a 2010 Toyota Prius V!!!  Yea!!  It's so neat and full of fun gadgets including bluetooth, iPod, voice recognition, navigation, lane assist, some sort of sonar cruise thing??  In other words, a bunch of stuff.. it's amazing!!  The prius' are actually a lot bigger on the inside than people know too!  It's a great car and I can already picture our family outings and traveling in it!  It can get up to 60mpg which is so great and will save in fuel costs, I am a very happy Mommy!!  :) 

Averie Ann Henson

I wanted to put some pics up of Isla's future BFF, Averie Ann Henson.  She is so darling!!

Happy Birthday Averie Ann Henson!

Our dear friends Shawn & Chel had their beautiful baby girl July 13th at 9:32 am!!  They wanted a surprise and found out that they made a beautiful little girl!  She weighed in at 7 lbs and 1 oz and 18 1/2 in. long!  She is so sweet with a dimple on her right cheek!  Averie has some light brown hair and a cute little button nose!  Aaron and I went up early that Tuesday morning to meet Averie and we both loved her instantly!  Mommy is doing so well too, both parents are beaming with pride!  We are overjoyed for the new Henson family and we're so excited for the future with our families together.  We just know that Isla & Averie will be the best of friends!  Congrats again Chel & Shawn!!  I will post pics as soon as I can!!

Maternity Pictures!

Our sweet friend Nikki Ramirez took some maternity pictures of our little Nolan family yesterday, July 11th at the Missouri Botanical Gardens.  She did a great job and we had so much fun hanging out with her and her family that day!  We're so excited for our little Isla Doodle to be with us on a trip to the Children's Garden, it was so fun and peaceful! 

The most beautiful baby girl in the world!!

Our sweet babycakes had a 3D ultrasound yesterday, July 8th.  She is just amazing and perfect!  We saw her smiling and kicking around inside my tummy, she instantly put tears into her Mommy's eyes while Daddy watched in awe and silence.  We are both so in love with our little sweetheart!  She weighs in at exactly 3 lbs right now and she was in the 59th percent aisle for where I'm at in my pregnancy, so she's very healthy and growing perfect!  Words cannot express the happiness she is bringing to our lives, we are so blessed to have our own little family!
