Baby Showers

I had my last Baby Shower this past weekend, but there are no pictures to show. It was a lovely shower with my friends, but I guess you will have to take my word for it. The following pictures are from my El Paso Shower last month and my Work Shower last week. I am finally starting to feel a little bit more prepared now! As if feeling totally prepared is even possible!

El Paso Shower

The cutest guests at the party.

Miss Melanie had been waiting patiently for me to cut the cake!

Work Shower

Her first hair bows.

I was so excited to get the bottle warmer. I had been up worrying it about it the night before for some odd reason. Now Brandon will have no excuses for feeding her in the middle of the night!

I am loving sitting in this chair at the end of a long days with the kiddos.

Happy Halloween!

Yes, I tortured Alfie as usual and I decorated my belly. Silly, I know, but so necessary since it looks like I swallowed a pumpkin!

You have the right to remain silent....

His mugshot. He looks guilty to me!

Profile view. Doesn't he look pitiful?


Yes, I actually did this to myself and it is much harder to do than it looks!

27 Weeks Belly Shot

We are officially in the third trimester and almost 7 months!

Yea for Little Girls!

After months of searching, I finally decided on the bedding for the nursery! I am thinking a white Jenny Lind style crib and maybe a green or yellow glider chair. definitely lilac walls! Yea!

I feel so huge and I am only a little over half way there!

Her First Pair of Shoes!

Secretly since we found out we were having a girl, I having been jonesing to buy our little one her first pair of shoes. And since, Robeez are all the rage in baby footwear, I was planning on buying this brand. I finally broke down and bought a pair today at Whole Foods because they were on sale for $4 off, which isn't much , but it gave me an incentive to buy them. When I came home and put away the groceries, I left the shoes out on the counter for Brandon to see. Our proceeding conversation went something like this.


S: Did you see the shoes I got her today? They're all the rage in baby footwear.
B: Yeah, I saw them. What's so special about them?
S: I don't know, they're little and cute and made of leather.
B: Oh. So, why does she need them?
S: Because all the babies are wearing them these days. And she'll need them to complete her cute little outfits.
B: Oh. Are they even going to fit her? They look kinda big.
S: Yeah, she'll grow into them.
B: So, they're like crawling shoes?
S: Yep, she'll need different shoes when she starts to walk. She'll need more support.
B: Oh, OK.

I guess men really do not understand why it is that women need so many pairs of shoes!
