Houston: A wedding, a baby shower, and an 87th birthday!

I am now 32 weeks pregnant! I had many discussions about what exactly this means this weekend--am I eight months pregnant (32 weeks/4 weeks = 8 months) or seven months pregnant (because I am due in two months)? All I know is that Baby Frank is coming soon! I have been feeling some lower back pain the last couple of days, and my doctor thinks it is due to pressure on the sciatic nerve. I am going to try to take it easy for the next few days and hope that it subsides. Other than that, I am still feeling great and getting very excited for my baby boy!

We had a fabulous weekend in Houston! On Saturday night, we attended Erin McCrory's wedding at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. It was a gorgeous wedding, and Frank and I agreed that it was the most unique and cool wedding venue we had ever been to. It was great to see Erin and to catch up with my childhood friend Amy Hays, who I had not seen since her own wedding seven years ago! Here are a few pictures from the reception:

On Sunday, Corey, Brooke, Katie, and Lindsey hosted a wonderful baby shower for all of my Houston friends. They did an absolutely fabulous job hosting, from the beautiful decorations to the awesome food. Brooke's husband Mason cooked omelets made-to-order and served us all breakfast! It was so creative and intimate, and I am truly blessed to have such great friends. We played some fun games and Baby Frank got a TON of adorable clothes and other fun gifts. I love all of you and am so grateful for your kindness and generosity! Here are a bunch of pictures from the baby shower:

On Sunday after the shower we celebrated Grandpa's 87th birthday with dinner and cake at Mom and Dad's house. It was great to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa, who we had not seen since we announced that I was pregnant back in April. Here are a couple of pictures from the birthday celebration:
