Quick room update

Chris moved the queen bed out of the baby's room for me this weekend. We moved furniture around and I finally feel like we are getting prepared for little man to get here! Here are a couple of pics, it's almost ready! Please ignore the boxes of baby items that need to be put together :)


Best Spear One Baby Shower Ever!

Today was our work baby shower at Blue Mesa in Addison. Our PPC (that's right, we have a PPC, be jealous), really outdid themselves. We ate the yummy buffet for lunch and then opened lots and lots of presents! After opening presents, we ate delicious homemade cupcakes from my coworker Kelly. Chris came and helped me open presents and got to meet/say hello to everyone. Here are pics from the babys' new presents, I'll upload pics from the shower shortly.

The piece of paper taped to the wall is our new stroller from Spear One! We also received washclothes, diapers, bottles, pacifiers, suction cup bowls, sippy cups, spoons, diapers, a cart seat cover, baby toys, a Pooh book, bath towels, and baby socks from Spear One! Mike and Karen gave us an adorable Polo onesie, I'll be surprised if my brother doesn't steal it :) Ms. Jacque even made a surprise visit and gave us a Target gift card. Hank and Lee gave me an awesome Dallas Cowboys PINK shirt, and a "Who Needs Sleep?" shirt, so cute!I cannot wait to wear them! We are so excited!

Best Baby Shower Ever!

My sweet girlfriends hosted a baby shower for us last Saturday, July 31st, at 12PM at Christina's in Frisco. Hostesses were Kristen Cahill, Rita Holland, and Melanie Royle.

We started with a lunch of chicken and beef fajitas, cheese enchiladas, rice, beans, and all the sides! My favorites! After lunch we opened tons and tons of presents, our family and friends are SO generous! Clothes, car seat w/ base, extra car seat base, Pack-n-Play(with 3 sets of sheets), baby cradle-n-swing, newborn rock-n-play sleeper, baby bath, high chair, more clothes, swaddle blankets, washcloths, bibs, shoes, socks, a diaper cake, a diaper motorcycle, a homemade blanket, baby monitors, two sound machines, two diaper bags, a lime green bumpo(I really wanted this!), a wipe warmer, a picture frame, a target gift card, a super cute elephant, a Ranger's pillow horse, and Baby's first Mr. Bear just to name a few items(see pics below). Mom gave us the finished Calvin and Hobbes comfortorter and it is adorable. She's completed the baby's bedding and it all looks fantastic. This baby is so loved already! After presents we played a game of diaper guessing(if you haven't seen this before, it's where a candybar is melted into a diaper and you have to guess which candybar it is by looking at the diaper contents). It was hilarious and really gross, all three of us pregnant girls wouldn't touch the diapers. So funny! After the game we had delicious red velvet, double chocolate chip, and white chocolate raspberry bundt cakes. They were so good! All in all the best baby shower ever!

Our hostesses were just incredible, everything was absolutely perfect. I am so lucky to have the most amazing girlfriends!

Thank you from the very bottom of my heart to all our loved ones who came out(and those who sent their best wishes) to welcome our precious baby boy into the world.

Here are some of the pics, I'll also include a link in case you want to look at all of them.
