The Toops Boys: March 2006

35 Weeks!

Here we are at 35 weeks. I cannot believe it! Baby Gabe is really getting aggressive with his movements. He is a strong kicker, some of my co workers have been kicked by him( he will apologize at a later date!) The doctor is thinking he will be about 6.5-7.5 pounds at birth. We start going to the doctors every week now. We need him to wait till April and we will welcome him with open arms!!

Baby Shower

The two grandmothers threw Baby Gabe his shower at Rothchilds Cafe. It was such a nice afternoon. It was great to see so many people that we had not seen in awhile and who had not seen me pregnant at all. Unfortunately we did not take many pictures. We did get some of one of the games in which everyone tries to guess how big the mom to be is with toilet paper. We did not get any pictures of opening of the gifts, but we did get some when I showed Nathan all the wonderful items we got. Thank you to the grandmothers for a lovely shower and to everyone who came to wish us luck.

Gift from Gabes Great Grandmother Reed

My Grandmother Reed( Gabes Great Grandmother) had this rocking chair made for baby Gabe. It is truly beautifull and we can not wait for him to enjoy it some day!

Some gifts from the shower

The blue and yellow booties were made by my great grandmother on my fathers side. My aunt Becky and Linda found and gave them to us. The sign is from Cindy, and the other booties are from Great Aunt Nancy!! Thanks everyone!!

This is a Browns quilt made by Andrea for Baby Gabe. Andrea, Brandon and Nathan all share in football passion and Gabe will too we hope! Thanks Andrea, it is beautiful!!
