Scattered showers.

We had a second baby shower this weekend in NC. It was hosted by my sister-in-law, Stephanie and my Aunt Gail. It was very lovely. Scott and I had a wonderful time seeing family and friends that we hadn't seen in a while. The food was yummy. We had delicious pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, coconut chicken strips, tea sandwiches, and more. And the addictive apricot punch. We received many great gifts. I'll be posting photos of some of them soon!

Baby Shower.

These are a few of my photos from the baby shower my co-workers threw. You can see them all on my facebook albums, if you'd like!

Photo finish.

We've reached the final stretch and exciting stuff is ahead. As we have to properly document it, we got a brand new camera (thanks to Scott's parents, Kaye and Gordon!) It is pretty cool. I just started playing around with it this evening, but it seems like a great buy so far. Our second baby shower is this weekend. Can't wait to really put it to the test! (Sorry no photos from the first shower yet. We forgot our camera's battery and I'm waiting on Lyndsay to get me a CD of her photos.)

Christmas Dress.

I have searched high and low for a tiny black sweater to go with "To Be Determined's" Christmas dress (which is a red and black plaid with a white peter pan collar.) There was not one to be found. So......once again Etsy.com to the rescue. I found a wonderful knitter in Turkey! She has knitted this lovely little sweater (without a pattern, just with a photo I provided.) Her name is Gulten and her shop is Blue Moon. If you need any knitting done, I'd highly recommend her. Not to mention that she uses very high quality yarns and her rates are extremely reasonable! (And it only costs $4.00 to ship such a thing from Turkey, believe it or not.)

Creative flick.

We went to see "The Invention of Lying" yesterday. It takes place in a world where no one has ever told a lie before. And then one man realizes he can. It's very creative and funny. Check it out.

We're swingin . . .

We picked up our swing tonight with some of the money we received at the baby shower last week. I love it. It matches the living room perfectly. And it is apparently the last one of these in the southeastern US. I checked online today and only one Target seemed to have one left.....and now they have none! It was really easy to assemble. It has an elephant theme and a place to plug in your MP3 player, which we really liked. Napster has lots of lullabyes, FYI.

September shower.

We had our first baby shower last Friday! So exciting.......she's almost here! This one was given by my friends Alicia and Lyndsay (Thanks girls!) and was attended by lots of fellow lawyers, courthouse clerks, DA's & probation office staff, and staff from our own office. I am so glad everyone came out to share in our special time. We got many wonderful gifts. These are only a few of them. My friend and co-worker, Laura, made the beautiful red gingham quilt in the first photo. It is perfect for our nursery! I still need to take photos of some of the other unique gifts and will do that today! Thanks everyone!

Certified.

We attended our last birthing class last night. We are now certified. We had a little party last night at the class and everyone brought refreshments. I made these pink and blue onesie sugar cookies. Aren't they cute. I would have put a lot more detail into them, but Future Daddy forced me to go sit on the couch instead. They still turned out pretty cute.

Babydoll.

We just got this doll for our baby. She is quite cute and for 0+ years. She is going to sit in the tiny rocking chair in the nursery.
