Baby Shower!

We had our 2nd baby shower here yesterday, it was absolutely perfect! My mom and sister did such an awesome job planning it, thank you so much! We love you!! The flowers and cookie favors turned out so cute, and I didn't get too many pictures of the room set up, but I will put some that I took once we got home. We had it at Kruse and Muer's, which is "our" restaurant. Brad and I love it there and the shower was no different. The service was great, the food was good, but most importantly, so many of our family and friends were there to celebrate with us, which means so much. Brad's parents came from IN, my uncle and cousin came from OH, and two of my college roommates, Angie and Kelly, flew in from Boston and Nashville. Thanks girls, it meant to much to me that you were there!!! I miss you!!!

We are so overwhelmed once again by everyone's generosity. My parents came back to the house afterwards with my in-laws and sister-in-law, and we went back through everything. Then this morning Brad and I spend about an hour going through it again. He wanted to make sure he knew what everything was :) But we are so excited, it makes it so much more real now, and we can't say thank you enough to everyone for coming and for all the wonderful and thoughtful gifts! Here are a few snapshots, but most of them are on Facebook!






In other baby news, my curtains that I ordered came in. And I don't like them. Surprise, surprise. Soooo, I decided earlier this week that we are going to paint the room. I have been struggling with liking this green, so instead, we are going to paint blue! I am going to head to Pottery Barn Kids this afternoon, because apparently they have paint swatches that coordinate with their bedding. So next weekend hopefully we can get it painted and then start getting everything set up! Yay!

This past week was busy, busy, busy! Brad and I started our childbirth classes this past week, so we have to go the next 3 Wednesdays. It was actually fun! I have been taking my prenatal water aerobics class on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, which has been good. It isn't really a great cardio workout, but it helps so much to stretch and relax. So that has been fun too. We also met with some pediatricians this past week to check out some different offices...

I am so excited to have tomorrow off work tomorrow for MLK day. Brad is taking my car to get an automatic starter put on (Yay!) so I am going to try to tackle some major closet/basement organization here. Hopefully I can get motivated to get all of it done! This week is going to be so fast, especially not having to work on Monday. I have a sub on Wednesday for some training, and then we have a half day on Friday b/c it is the end of the semester. Then, my work is throwing me a shower on Friday night! SOOOO excited!!!

Well, I better get off the computer and moving today. All this shower cake I have eaten is telling me I should go to the gym...Have a great week!
