On Saturday, four of my dearest friends threw me a baby girl shower. It was gorgeous and so much fun; we ended up with so many adorable things that I can wait to use! I felt very blessed as several of my friends and family drove anywhere from 1 to 5 hours to be there -- this little girl already has many great ladies she'll be able to look up to!
Finally, tonight, whilst grimmacing at the Cowboys' tragic first loss of the season, I was able to sort th rough ALL baby gifts and items we've gotten thus far; this includes packing the baby's bag for the hospital as well as my own, washing all 0-3 month clothes and arranging them neatly in drawers, hanging everything else up by size, and sanitizing bottles/nipples/pacifiers/etc. and putting them away in her very own cupboard.
I'm exhausted, large, and tired, but finally feel like we are "set up" to have this baby. Now if she can just hold off until after Noah's birthday party next Saturday...

My two sweet cousins, Leslie and Alli. Great to catch up with you both! And yes, there's my new 'do which is not too terribly different except there are a lot more layers and quite a bit of auburn/red/dark blonde color. Apparently she said this is closer to my natural color since my hair has darkened; figures since I'm turning 30 this year.
That's it! Have a nice week. I'm going to bed.

You look beautiful!
You didn't tell me about the stylist in your bathroom! That's way cooler than anything I could have arranged for you up here. Way to go Stace - coolest gift ever!
Glad the shower went well and wish I could've been there. See you next week!
p.s. I love that you called it a 'hairdo.' What is this - 1950? =)
What sweet friends you have! Looks like the shower was lots of fun! I want to see some of these cutie girlie outfits! =)
Your hair looks great, by the way. Hope you're able to get some rest - we'll be praying for you guys!
Love all of the pink! Looks like a really fun shower. I wish the salon would come to me every time I needed a new hairdo...that would be awesome! =)
Your shower was THIS weekend?? Oh fudge!! I wrote it down wrong on my calendar and thought it was this coming weekend. :( I'm sorry I missed it. I'm still coming to town this weekend. Maybe we can meet up!
You look fabulous by the way. EMAIL ME!!!!
Love the hair. You look great. Enjoy your last week or two with just your little guy! Soon there will be two.
Wow! That was so sweet of them to give you a pink shower! How helpful since you need to think pink these days!
Take care,
Amy
