San Antonio Shower!

Sara has already posted about the shower on her blog so I will just repeat a little of what she said :-) First off, my sisters and friends did an AMAZING job with making the shower such a memorable and a special time for me. As you can see, it was a bunny theme! Sara is so creative...she made a diaper cake! The shower turned out so cute! Sara had my mom's old friends share some great stories about me and my mom when I was little. Sara brought a piggy bank to collect "tips & advice" in...she had everyone sign it. I loved reading everyone's tips and hearing those memories!I got so many cute things :-) including adorable clothes! The girls went in together and got us our much needed stroller! Joey was happy about that one! My friend, Heather, is so creative! She put together the neatest basket with clothes, bottles, burp rags, hair bands/bows , etc...and she monogrammed all of it! It was so great seeing everyone and spending time with old friends...I miss S.A. And thanks to my sweet Brandi for showering me at her home in her beautiful garden room!

Presley's Nursery!

So I guess I will finally post on my blog since Ive had it for 5 months! We just finished the nursery a few weeks ago and what a relief it was to have everything set up and ready to go ;-) Joey painted the walls and put up the chair railing my first trimester...it was supposed to be "neutral colors" but it does look like he was planning for something other than a girl ;-) I wasn't planning on having a theme for the nursery, but I guess I ended up with a "bunny theme." When my mom died, I saved all of her bunny stuff "just in case I ever had a girl." So most of the bunny stuff in the nursery was made by my sweet mom and her best friend, Clare. I also wrapped the ottomon in a blanket that my Great Grandma made for my dolls when I was little. I am hoping these next few weeks go by quickly because it seems every day is dragging on forever! Although, everyone says not to rush it because I might be wishing her back in me by the end of the 2nd week :-( Yikes!
