My sister, dear friends Emily, June & Robin hosted a baby shower for us two weekends ago, and let's just say it was exquisite!!!! The decorations were stunning, the food was impeccable & the fun was well, FUN!! My favorite part was the chocolate fountain!
Thanks gals, and also thanks to my great friend Meredith for designing the gorgeous invites, despite having just moved to Dallas. I am so blessed with great family and friends.

Also, here is a photo of me at 37 weeks 2 days. Noah is almost here!!!

it's been a while!!!




Hello!! I have been so unbelievably busy preparing for Noah's very close arrival!!! In the midst of it all, God opened a door for me to open a booth for my design business at a local craft mall, so WHEW!! It has been crazy to say the least! I will be selling my custom stationery card sets, bookmarks, recipe cards and much much more!!! I am so excited! I went from reading my pregnancy and baby books to only reading business books and researching the world of product design and retail strategies!!! But, I am now back on track preparing for our precious baby boy!

His room is nearly done, so I will post photos of it completed. I LOVE spending time in there because it is so serene and relaxing.
He has dropped into the birthing canal, so he could make his appearance any day. I am telling him he must wait for at least two more weeks, so I can get everything done that I need to for work, the booth and him!!! We spring cleaned the house this weekend, so that is done . . . whew! I feel very good about that. I was unpacking his diapers into a basket for his changing table, and it became so real to me that I am about to be a mommy!!! It was a revelation!!

Nathan is amazing . . . he already put the car seat base in my car, and he has been nesting also!!! We have been quite the crazy duo in getting everything just right for Noah. We are honored that God chose us to be his mommy and daddy, and we can't wait to hold him and love on him and teach him all about our precious Savior Jesus! Here is a photo of me at 36 weeks! And, Zoe has claimed Noah's rug as hers!!! It is so cute . . . she spends lots of time in his room, even without us. I think she thinks it is her room! We go in there and find not one of her bones, and not just one of her toys, but ALL of them spread out on the rug!!!! She is going to be a great sister to Noah. Love and blessings!
