Two weeks till LJC's due date! I would love her to come early and I'm preparing myself mentally for her to come late, though I'm also prepared to try every old wives' tale in the book to coax her out. Will keep everyone updated as things progress! I'm off to turkey trot/jog/walk in the morning before the annual parade watching with hopes to get things moving along...

The furry babies are ready for her to get here too. They can't wait to meet baby sister!

Grateful

I'm especially thankful this year...for my family, my friends, our health, and all of our continuous blessings. I wish everyone a wonderful thanksgiving full of love and happiness. Happy thanksgiving!

Leighton's Nursery

I finally tool some pictures of Leighton's room! It is definitely my favorite room in the house and I love just sitting in there in the rocking chair looking at her walls and her books and her pretty clothes and imagining her in my arms and how she will change our lives.

The bookshelf next to the crib and crib are from pottery barn, and the dressers and the bookshelf by the window we already had in our former guest room.

I found her bedding at Carousel designs, and I bought some of the bedding fabric, and my mom and I sewed the drapes and the shower curtain to match the crib set.

Here is her pretty bathroom with her own monogrammed towels and the bow-holder I made with her already large collection of bows!

The little rocking chair was Drew's when he was a baby, and we repainted it white for her.

My little Charlotte loves the toy boxes and has been trying to steal all of her new stuffed animals. We are anticipating some fights over the toys...

Thank you Veterans!

4 week countdown

Holy Moly only 4 weeks (and 2 days) to go! Everyone tells me it has gone by so fast, and I partly agree considering I can't believe she's almost here already. Although, when I think about it, I've been pregnant since March and that's a really long time! Almost a year! So it's gone by both fast and slow, but I have a feeling time is about to speed up exponentially!

My baby shower was Sunday, and it was absolutely amazing. My girls could not have put together a more gorgeous and thoughtful celebration, and I am eternally grateful to them. Getting teary eyed thinking about it. More on that later once I download all the pictures.

We did our baby bump pix on Friday in St. Augustine, both downtown and at the beach, and I haven't seen any yet, but am anxiously awaiting a sneak peak. Will post a couple of those too when I get them. I am so immensely grateful to Kelly, (who did our wedding and instantly became one of my favorite friends) for doing these for us. She wanted to give us the bump pix and newborn pix as a gift, and it means so so much to us. She's a special one, and obviously extremely talented as well.

I did take one silhouette picture at home just for my own fun, so here that is. Kelly shared this quote with me, and it's just perfection for this feeling of becoming a mom.

Also, we tried to do a 4-D ultrasound at our 32 week appointment, but she wasn't too cooperative with her hands in front of her face the whole time. Here's what we managed to get - a fist and some chubby cheeks. We're going back this Thursday for our 37 week appointment, so maybe we'll have more luck then. It doesn't really matter I suppose because we're meeting her in real life in 4 weeks!!!!
