We are 30 WEEKS today!!! That sounds unbelievable and just confirms this pregnancy truly is flying by. We’ll be getting dressed up for our friends’ wedding tomorrow, I’ll be sure to get a bump pic there!
{Believe me, you do not want one now with the mess I am straight out of bed – nor will you want one tonight after my 12 hour day. A 30 weeks and 1 day picture will just have to do, friends…=)}
This past Saturday, our little family of {almost} 3 was showered with copious amounts of love. My mom and mother-in-law with the help of my sister {and the brunt work of my dad!}, threw the most gorgeous shower in honor of our Houston. We were completely overwhelmed with the time, effort, and funding they put into a day just for us and will always be extremely grateful to all 3 of them for making sure we had such a special day.
Just as I was with our wedding shower, I was completely OVERWHELMED again with all the guests who came and spent the day with us, bringing with them lots of goodies to spoil our little one with. There was so much love and hospitality in one room, just for our family, that it makes me want to cry happy tears just thinking about it now!
I came away with a ton of pictures, mostly just from before the shower started and still didn’t get one of everything I wish I had.
Enjoy a few of my favorites!
First of all, I LOVED his cake. It was just as fun to eat it’s deliciousness as it was to look at it.
“Houston – Twinkle Twinkle Little Star… Do you know how loved you are?”
Custom sign ordered by my mom-in-law!
Can you figure out who made this best diaper cake I’ve ever seen? Houston only has one aunt… and she’s the best!
I love Jim Shore and my mom found this one perfect for the theme of the shower, Nursery Rhymes, and perfect to sit in his nursery later♥
Nick and I have discussed taking Autumn home and never bringing her back a few times ;) She is a laugh riot and always, cute as a button.
Remember Katie from her baby shower in February. Baby Edmond is here and all kinds of ADORABLE!
Perfect personalized blocks from Samantha! Drop her a line on her blog if you wanna know where you can get some of your own in any color. They’re a must have for any kids room =)
The best parents in the world:
The best sister in the world:
The best in-laws in the world:
A fellow preggo! Jodie is one week behind me and having a little girl-friend for Houston - Avery Grace.
The food was yummalicious!
The little girls waiting so patiently for my aunts to cut the cake were cracking me up – I had to take a picture.
From my cousin, Sarah – the outfit on the left will get lots of use in this house divided, but I’m not sure where the outfit on the right has disappeared to already???
;)
If we were trying to keep our son grounded, it’s already too late. He now owns a silver baby spoon from Tiffany’s – hilarious.
My mom-in-law’s dream: to have a picture next summer with all her boys in their personalized Reds uniforms. So CUTE!
Nick with a baby?! Get use to it.
The aftermath from unloading 2 SUV’s after a 2 hour car ride home – a blessed mess =)
{The BIG items were all still in the garage!!!}
Seriously, how did we get so lucky?!
