34 Weeks!!!

Well, it's hard to believe, but we are 34 weeks as of today.  Just 6 more weeks until we get to meet our sweet girl.  According to the baby website we follow and the book from mom, Willie is likely 5 and a half pounds and a foot and a half long right now.  AMAZING!  It seems like just yesterday that we were having our first ultrasound and wondering when my belly might pop or whether she might be a boy or a girl. And now look at us.  Such good stuff.  She's scooting around in my belly as I type. I hope she's as excited to meet us as we are to meet her. :)

Showered with Love

We were so blessed and honored to be showered with love and goodies for Willie on Sept 16 & 17. Thanks so much to our family, friends, and my co-workers for all the generosity and love.  It was a wonderful weekend and we were so glad that my mom and sister and my fabulous Troublemint were here in town to celebrate.  Willie, you are a loved and lucky little girl.  We ALL can't wait to meet you!                                                              

Lots and lots of delicious baking 

Welcome Willie! :)

Paper pacifier straws... YES :)

Fabulous dessert spread, thanks to my wonderful sister & mama

                       

Never enough desserts or pictures of desserts, right?!

So grateful for all the goodies for Willie and is this an awesome diaper cake, or what?!

 

 

Thanks EVERYONE!!! :)

Willie's Playlist

Music means so much to me. So for now, until our girl arrives and decides her own musical tastes, I'll be the DJ.  I'm pretty sure she digs most everything I'm into.  She was scooting around in my belly to Radiohead for sure today at work...

We've been blogged!

Our etsy friend, who rounded up our baby & beer vintage wood blocks, featured us on her blog. Pretty nifty. ;) http://alexkellerblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/much-love-babies-and-beer.html

It's a Baby/Beer!

Here's a few things I know for certain. (1) I love all things vintage and funky, while my hubby loves all things beer.  (2) I can credit my burgeoning belly to our beautiful baby girl growing inside me, while my hubby can credit his adorable belly to well, you guessed it, beer. :)  So, what better way to document our 32nd week than a photo that highlights both of our beautiful bellies?!  Enter my lovely new etsy friend Alex who has an amazing collection of vintage items including vintage wooden letter blocks.  You can find them @ Vintage by Alex Keller. I contacted Alex randomly a few weeks ago and asked if she could hunt down blocks for 'baby' and 'beer' and within a few short days, we had the adorable blocks in our hands.  We took the pics this weekend, while we had some of our wonderful family and friends in town for our baby shower.  Here is the finished product... :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR BACON BABY!!!

Bacon girl (our boxer) is 4 years young today. We celebrated with a new bunny toy and a peanut butter banana puppy ice cream sundae.  Good stuff.  Love you silly girl.  You'll always be our first baby girl. :)

There's a class for that...

Baby class/lamaze/cradle class (whatever you'd like to refer to it works for me) started last night for us.  WHOA.  Just one more wide eyes open awakening that we're ALMOST there.  There were lots of new things to learn even just in the first night, lots of love and support and massages from Daddy (the teacher requires it...YES!).  I think labor will put my finely tuned yoga cleansing breath to good use.  All in all, it was good stuff. But I gotta say the model of the pelvis with a baby doll squeezed in, sitting in the front of the classroom taunting me all night was a scary sight. I think my hubby may have lost some of the skin on his knee cap from me squeezing tightly while we watched a video of 3 ladies going through labor (start to finish).  Whoa!

That's two whoa's in one post.  Here's one more WHOA for good measure and odd #'s.  Nighty night. :)
