Baby Shower #2

Lauren and Erica gave me a baby shower this past weekend that literally blew me away. It was absolutely amazing. They put a lot of time and effort into making it special and I can't tell them thank you enough! The decor was the cutest thing I have ever seen! Here are the pics.....

Love it!

Diaper cake was so cute

Onesies tied to baby spoons for centerpiece..so creative and cute!

Glass jars for drinks

Blue velvet cupcakes...they were delicious!

Madden's 'Janie'

Me with the two hostess..Lauren and Erica

Cousins!

My cousin Megan with her daughters...Exie and Emma

Carol and Mady (peppermint in mouth)

Mary Kate and Audra...great friends I went to grad school with..love them!

Ginger and Jo...Ginger is due with a baby boy one day after me

Madden's 'MeMe' and Aunt Beth

My mom surprised me and had a pillow and blanket made to match his bedding

Sweet sign Megan made me

Erica, Aunt Maria (who hosted the shower at her house), and Lauren...Can't thank ya'll enough!

Game at the shower: I checked the attributes I wanted Madden to have from Matt and I..Everyone had to guess what I would pick. Matt's mom won! We made Matt fill one out later. Mine is on the left and Matt's is on the right



Needless to say, the shower was amazing and so much fun! Thanks to everyone who helped to make it so special!

35 Weeks

I finally feel like the end is in sight! I cannot believe we have about a month or less until Madden is here. I have my last two week appointment at 36 weeks and after that we will go every week. Not a lot to report for this week. Baby shower post to follow....

34 Weeks

Only six more weeks (or less!) to go! I am starting to get nervous! My next doctor's appt is Jan. 13th. I will be exactly 36 weeks. It's crazy to think that after that appointment Madden could pretty much come at any time! Although we have actually gotten a lot accomplished the last couple of weeks, I feel like we still have TONS to do before he gets here. His room is painted, all the furniture is in place, and the bedding should be here anyday. We picked up his rocking chair a couple of days ago and I love it! This was a present from Matt's parents...

Madden's coming home outfit from Lauren and Josh

I had already bought this gown knowing I wanted to get it monogrammed for him to wear home from the hospital. Lauren had no idea I had even picked it out much less bought it. She bought it and had it monogrammed for Madden's Christmas present. Great minds think alike! Thankfully mine was not monogrammed yet so I can take it back. Thanks Lauren and Josh!

Poor Easton was sick on Christmas : (

It's hard to believe this was our last Christmas just Matt and I. Next year it will all revolve around Madden and we can't wait!
