Shower Time!

This past Saturday we had our first baby shower for our little lady. The shower was thrown by my Grandma, and aunts Joan and Ann- super aunts they prefer being called to great aunts :-) It was a great day and the baby coming is starting to feel more and more real.




My mom, Aunt Joan, Aunt Ann, sister, Shea and I, and my Grandma Baader at the shower




We received so many wonderful gifts and Ryan has just about everything put together already! The baby monitor is up and running, the mobile has been set up and cat tested and approved, and the high chair even made an appearance in our dining room for a little while (we have since put it in storage for the next couple of months). Ryan definitely has had the nesting instinct kick in :-) I am just waiting for mine so that I can clean out the cabinets in the kitchen to make room for all the bottles, bottle brushes, plastic cups, plates, etc to fit into our limited cabinet space.

My sister did inspire me to wash all of the newborn clothes in Dreft (baby detergent...thank you super aunt Joan!) to get ready for the first couple of weeks that the baby is here.





The little lady is going to be styling with all of her new clothes!






We continue to be busy, busy in the next couple of weeks. This week we have an ABC's of infant care class, an ultrasound, and a baptism class. We are definitely in baby mode. I figure the busier, the better- the time goes by faster. We have 25 more days of school left and then less than 3 weeks after that the baby is due!

Have a good week-

Hopefully your little lady is just as much a cutie pie as her cousin.
