My Baby Shower!

Part of my gift from my wonderful hosts
and made by my friend at the Pink Door Designs!

     My sweet co-workers hosted an awesome baby shower for me a few weeks ago.  I received everything under the sun for our little boy who may now arrive any day since I've hit the 37 week mark!!!  His room is still not QUITE complete, but it will get there eventually...  When I was pregnant with Emily, her room was done around 28 weeks I think!  I am feeling okay, just battling a lot of sleeplessness due to reflux and just plain being uncomfortable.  But only 3 weeks left to go at the most!  Here are some pictures from my baby shower-- Thank you Emily, Stephanie, and Leann for hosting!  I love my NICU family!

My sweet girl was also a guest of honor
YUMMY cupcake tower!

New Years and My 30th!

       Stephen, Emily, and I rang in the new year (between my work days) with fried turkey, mac-n-cheese, COLLARDS, and BLACK EYED PEAS!  My parents came over and we had a great new year's day lunch!  I made sure that all of my Christmas decorations were out of the house seeing as I have a superstitious husband who had in turn, made me superstitious as well.  I can't believe 2013 is here and that the baby will be here soon!!!  I am maybe a "rarity" in that I do not enjoy being pregnant necessarily but I am very excited about having  our second (and last) baby!
     Four days after New Years.... I turned T-H-I-R-T-Y years old!  It is such a nice, round number isn't it??  I can't believe still that I am 30.  I had a fun time celebrating with my family and enjoyed my many facebook messages from friends.  I don't have any pictures really from my birthday since I forgot my camera card, but here are two pictures of my princess....  Trying to soak up as much time with her before the baby arrives!
