Saturday Projects

Steve and I decided to work on some baby projects this weekend. He put together the Pack n play/changer and I assembled the bouncer. We are getting ready a little more everyday for Baby O :)

Nursery is Done! :)

I found these two white shelves at Lowe's this weekend and put them up as the finishing touch in the nursery. I wanted somewhere to display toys, pictures, nick knacks, etc. Although we have shoved ALOT of stuff in a tiny space, I think the room is fun and will be intriguing for Baby Owens. Four weeks and counting...he's going to be here soon!!

The nursery is close to complete!

The nursery is almost done! I am still hunting for a cool rug and some wall shelving to go above the glider (and of course for a huge lime frog!). I have had so much fun the past few days working on it and I love to spend time in the nursery just thinking about the bundle of love getting ready to live in there!

Showered with Love!

Today was my rescheduled baby shower and it was fantastic!!! We had a wonderful turn out despite the fact that we got 4 inches of snow last night (AGAIN!!). Everyone was able to get here safely and enjoy the winter wonderland :) Allison, Brittany, and Jade did a great job organizing and setting up for the shower....the games were a big hit! We played a game where the guests had to cut a piece of yarn the length they thought would go around my waist. It was so fun to see how different everyone's guess was...Morgan's (my cousin) daughter Hanna won; her string was almost exactly the size of my waist!

The second game was the dirty diaper guessing game. Brittany melted various candy bars in the diapers and everyone had to guess what they were...it was hilarious to watch people's faces as they sniffed and spread the "poo" to see if it contained nuts or maybe another hint as to what chocolate treat it may be. I believe Jen Laporta proved to be the poo princess!

The food, friends, and family were overflowing and I felt so overwhelmed by everyone's love and generosity. Now I'm ready to play in all of my precious new goodies :)

33 Weeks

My baby shower was scheduled for this past Saturday, January 30th. I have been looking soooo forward to this for months and I know Allison, Jade and Brittany have spent alot of time organizing and planning for my shower. Well, mother nature had another idea! Charlotte rarely gets any winter weather but on Friday Jan 29th around 3:30 pm it began snowing and continued until there were over 6 inches on the ground! That is unheard of in Charlotte! So after speaking with Brittany, Allison, Jade, and my Mom, we decided to reschedule. I was super bummed because three of my best friends, Loan, Megan, and Abigail had all made travel arragements to be at my shower Sat and now they will not be able to travel for the rescheduled date of February 13th. But I know they are going to come and visit soon regardless :)


I now have two more weeks to anticipate my shower...which will be wonderful, I know! Anticipation is one of my favorite parts of any big event, so I'm okay with prolonging that a little :)


Here are some pics of my much bigger 33-week belly...
