gs&p baby shower

Our first baby shower - hosted by GS&P:

Josh posing as an architect (you gotta see the shoes).

This cake was SO good!

Just seeing all these little gifts for us makes everything seem that much more real - and closer!!!

They know me so well - slip on sneakers with skull and crossbones!

I'm just constantly blown away by people's generosity - especially with no family here we are doing so much on our own to prepare for Figglets arrival. Really overwhelming what they did for us - so touched.

Mom was in town for 5-days while Josh was in Switzerland - she is a machine. Between reorganizing the house, cleaning the kitchen for 3-hours (was it really that bad???), and her amazing generosity, advice and constant love - I am blown away. But not surprised, because I have the best mom ever!

Sometimes it just takes motivation from an outside source to get things moving. We've been so in our own heads since we moved into this house that we were doing the minimum to get by. With her initiative - we have been inspired to clean, organize, and "nest" before the Fig's arrival!

We have changed the baby registery - it's now at Target.

I couldn't resist their Dwell baby sheets!

33-weeks, 5-days

Josh is in Switzerland.
Figglet and I thought it would be fun to take some new pictures with iphoto for dad to see how much he's grown since Friday:

Rough day.
My wedding rings decide to stop fitting on my fingers. They are now on my angel necklace from meme that I wear every day. Starting to feel pretty puffy and uncomfortable.


This picture reminds me of when I was in college. I drew my self-portrait in blue crayon for drawing 101 because I hated the class so much.


Everything else is pretty status-quo for someone being 8-1/2 months pregnant.
Just tried, hungry all the time, and a zero patience for stupid people.

New fav' food:

Having a hard time watching or reading anything about the Octomom - her due date was right around Figglets.
