Baby Shower #3

Sooooooo, technically this was baby shower #3! Unfortunately, I didn't take pics at the work shower (Shower #2) on the 19th :( I have no idea what I was thinking...what am I going to do for scrapbook pictures???

Either way, the "Houston" shower was a TON of fun, and I am so grateful to have such wonderful friends who are ALMOST as excited to meet Sophie as we are! I am so blessed to have lifelong friends and am truly honored that Jaime and Debbie took time out of their BUSY lives to love on our family with an amazing shower. I know it was a lot of work but they did an incredible job ~ to say they know me pretty well would be an understatement :)

Here are just a few pictures from that day ~ hope you enjoy!

My wonderful hostesses and even better friends ~ Aunt Jaime, Me (+ Sophie) & Aunt Debbie (+ Julian)

Entry Table + AMAZING Diaper Cake made by Aunt Jaime (Loved it!!!)

The Sweets (and my big belly!) . These were made by an old friend of Jaime's and absolutely delicious, not to mention precious!

Mantel Decorations :)

Food Table - I love my Mexican Food!!!

Blessed with an INCREDIBLE best friend!

Playing Games :) Yes, we played the smell the poop (melted chocolate) game! Once you get past the mental issues of this whole idea, it's actually really fun :)

Maree and Judy ~ deep in decision making... These two managed to guess each "poopy" diaper correctly!

Baby Shower Word Scramble

Playmat ~ Please Dear Lord, let her like this! I sure could use this as a source of baby entertainment so I can get a few other things done. Amen!

More Goodies!

Embroidered burp rags from Auntie Lynna!

YEA! Our bassinet :) Who knew I would get so excited over a bassinet! Thank you Aunt Jaime, Uncle James, Max and Lily.

Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate with us! It was a joy getting to share this journey with each of you :) Love you all!!!

Oh where, Oh where...

Oh where, oh where did I go? It has been so long since I've posted! I have been a wee bit crazy lately between showers, nursery prep, errands, work and oh ~ just that normal thing called life :) And despite all the craziness that is our life right now, I wouldn't change one single second of it. We are so amazingly blessed as a family and are ANXIOUSLY waiting to meet our baby girl! Keep looking for more posts ~ they are coming soon :) For now, I just wanted to drop a note to the blog world and to my dear, precious Sophia Grace. Love you all!

Sophie, we love you sweetheart! Words cannot even begin to describe the love we already have for you. Stay safe and GROW BIGGER honey bun ~ we are all waiting to greet you with arms filled with an unconditional love and more joy than you could possibly imagine. You are truly the best thing Daddy and I have ever been a part of. Never forget that you are our world and we love you no matter what!

All our love,

Mommy and Daddy
