Shabby Chic Baby Shower

This past Saturday, I had a fabulous baby shower hosted by my sweet friends, Kristy and Adrienne. Kristy came into town on Friday night and we had a very lazy night in after eating some yummy Mexican food. On Saturday she went over to Adrienne's early to help set up. Everything they did was just perfect!! When you first walked in, they had some belly pics of me framed and a book (Silly Sally....perfect!) for all of the guests to sign. This was such a great idea and I can't wait to share the story with Sally soon! On the bottom shelf were some yummy cookies in cute paper bags for the guests to take home.

There was also a sign for all of the guests to get their picture taken with me. I'm not sure what the girls are going to do with all the pictures though...I'm sure they have something up their sleeves.

The food table!! I loved the ribbon and lace banner and tablecloth that Kristy made....so cute! I told her to save it...I may need it for Baby Sally's 1st birthday!! Everything that Kristy made was so yummy!!

The drink station....so cute and the drinks were fabulous!!

Look who came in town for the shower....my girls!! I wish Abigail could have come!

I am so happy that Natalie and Beth made the trip down for the shower!!

Me and Kristy!

She and Lindsey are going to be Sally's Godmothers :)

Me and Lindsey

All of my gifts....Sally was so spoiled!!

Me and my friend, Jennifer

Yes folks....the dreaded CANKLES have arrived....ewwww!!

I got so many nice gifts....lots of cute clothes, a Boppy lounger, spoons, cups, etc. Beth even got me my swing!

Sweet little outfits!!

Look at this cute cupcake hat!!

Me and Katelyn

Me and Kristy and Adrienne...the wonderful hosts!!

I had such a nice shower. I was so happy to be surrounded my such love and support from my best friends!

34 Weeks

I went to the Dr. this week and everything looks great. We scheduled all of my appts. until baby girl arrives. It's crazy that she will be here in a matter of weeks! I am measuring at 34 weeks so she is growing perfectly. The Dr. said that my sleep complaints were normal and it was natures way of getting us ready to wake up a zillion times a night. The Dr. also told me that I may get another ultrasound in a few weeks to determine the weight of the baby.

*How far along?: 34 weeks and 3 days...8 1/2 months, people! Yikes!

*How big is your baby?: a pineapple. yum....that sounds really good right now! She has probably reached her birth length and probably weighs between 4.5-4.9lbs

*Total weight gain?: maybe 30 pounds...ugh! I have already started a blog post called "After Baby Body"

*Sex: GIRL!! Sally O'Mally Moske

*Maternity clothes: I am enjoying my maternity clothes...but really want to buy some of the cute stuff that Target is starting to out out. Lots of cute bathing suits....can't even begin to think about bathing suits right now...yuck!

*Stretch marks: None yet!! I did see a small thing on my hip, but I'm pretty sure it's just a vein that I can see since my skin is so stretched.
*Movement: She is really active at night. It wakes me up! I can also feel lumps and bumps. It's fun to try and guess what body part it could be.

*Sleep: It's been pretty bad....I just CAN'T get comfortable!! I toss and turn all night and my lower back kills when I get up and go to the bathroom. Joe has been out of town for a few nights and I have honestly slept better since I get to have the whole bed by myself.

*Best moment this week: I had 2 amazing showers this week. Sally got so many nice things. I have the best co-workers and friends!!

*Food cravings: tangerines, pears, water with lemon, pizza, fried rice from Pei Wei (made with brown rice, chicken, no egg, extra spicy!)

*Labor signs: not really...I can feel weird little pains every now and then but I am not convinced that they are BH contractions.

*Belly button in or out: still in....but very stretchy!
*What I miss: sleeping well.....

*What I'm looking forward to: getting my hospital bag ready and my last baby shower next Sunday.

My Work Shower

My co-workers had such a wonderful baby shower for me this week. Gretchen is pregnant with a sweet baby boy so we shared a shower.

There was a lot of yummy food!

Me with with wonderful team of Kindergarten teachers! Yes, the shower was held in the school library :)

Ready to open all of my awesome gifts!

I got so many nice things...lots of cute clothes, toys, blankets, etc.

and I loved this frog pod for the bath tub.

Here are my wonderful gifts in the nursery. I also got several gift cards to Target, Babies R Us and Gymboree. I personally LOVE gift cards....I can pick out what I really need :) We plan on using them after the shower is over to buy the things that are left on the registry.

It's Friday!!!

Woo-hoo! I am sooo ready for the weekend. It was very tiring going back to work this week. I found my self more out of breath than usual. These last few weeks are gonna get me!

I have such a fun weekend planned!

Friday:

Kristy is coming into town and is spending the night. I can't wait to show her the nursery!!

Saturday:

I have my baby shower today. I can't wait to see all of my friends. My girls from out of town are going to stop by afterwards and see the nursery and then we are going to grab dinner. I'm sure Kristy and I will spend the evening organizing the nursery and putting all of my new things away.

Sunday:

I've got a trip to the grocery store in my future....hoping to get my nails and toes done too!

Fill In The Blank Friday

I am linking up with Lauren today. I love these blanks....all about free time...something I probably will not have a lot of once Miss Sally decides to make an appearance.

1. One of my favorite things to do when I have free time is catch up on my TiVo and eat popsicles...not sure healthy....I know .

2. When I have free time I tend to be equally lazy and productive. Sometimes I just want to lay around and sometimes I want or organize and get things done .

3. If I had an entire day completely to myself I would grab a doughnut for breakfast at Gibson's, go shopping to all of my usual places, eat lunch with a friend, get a massage and my nails done, and have a nice dinner and watch some favorite shows with Joe....I guess I don't want to be completely alone .

4. I would prefer to spend my free time (alone or with others...) a little bit of both. I love being by myself sometimes....but I also get bored.

5. Most of my free time happens on Sundays. Joe has to work and I have the WHOLE day to myself. It's nice .

6. The best thing about free time is that you don't have to answer to anyone...you just do whatever you want.

7. The next time I have free time I should probably go get my nails done but instead, I'll probably putter around on Pinterest for hours....
