Jenny's shower...

Jenny had her shower yesterday and she was totally blessed. She received so many things that she needed it was awesome! Everything turned out beautiful!!! She was so pleased with the way everything looked and ran so smoothly. I was exhausted by the end of the day. After everyone left I helped Scott get their crib down from my parents attic and some other baby items. On Tuesday I am going to help her get everything together and try to look for a dresser for the baby. She needs a tall thin dresser or an armoir. Their house has no storage and space so organization is a MUST!! Reece is so excited about his little brother!! He loves to feel on Jenny's belly and talk to him. Yes he finally has a name but no I am not going to tell anyone. It feels good to be able to call him by name and bond with him more. I can't wait to meet him. Matt had our boys all day yesterday. They hung out at home and played outside all day. They went on a long neighborhood walk and found leaves, acorns, and saw all kinds of animals. My kids thought they were on a nature hunt. It was cute to hear them talk about their day when I got home. Anyways, to sum up, the shower went wonderful and Jenny felt honored, so the goal was accomplished and I was very pleased.

Preshower update...

The cake finally got ordered. I ran to 3 Michael's stores and 2 Joanne fabric stores only to realize that the cake topper that I was looking for was no longer in existence. So I bought ribbon and made my own. Actually my mom made it for me but none the less, it is now done and the cake will be ready by 9am tomorrow. The flowers are done and at my moms house. Her house is already decorated. The food is bought and ready. The gifts are wrapped, and the games are prepared. I finally feel like I have a handle on the situation. Tomorrow I just need to go to the grocery store and pick up the cake and the few last minute items and finish setting out the food. AHHHH, that is the sound of relief for the moment. Matt has the boys today. I am on my own so that I could finish everything. Yes, my house sounds quite and yes I am thoroughly enjoying it!!! I will blog again tomorrow and post pictures of the shower.

Upcoming baby shower...

Well as you know, my little sister is going to have a baby and yes he still has no name. I know... it is very frustrating to me too to keep calling him "boy" when I talk to him or about him, but what can I do? Anyways, my mom and I are giving her a baby shower this Saturday. I am really excited about it because with Reece, she wasn't exactly excited about the timing of her pregnancy and so with this one, she can really enjoy all of the things that you "do" when you are pregnant. Anyways, back to my story. So today I went to Publix to order her cake (yes I know I should have done it sooner, but life happened and I didn't.)and the lady there told me I was confusing and complicated and she couldn't help me. She told me to come back tomorrow and talk to the actual cake decorator and see if they could do what I wanted. She said they might be able to do it in time. AHHHH!!!!! The stress!!! So first thing in the morning I am marching my behind back down to Publix to talk with a decorator to see if it is possible. I even have a drawing of what I want. If not, I need to put plan B into action and find a cake decorator that will do it for me. Otherwise, I am up a creek. Yikes!!! I know it will all work out. Then I was on the phone tryng to get a hold of a person about the food for 45 minutes when I finally gave up and realized that today was one of those days that I was going to accomplish nothing, and I needed to be ok with that and enjoy my kids. The next 2 days they will be with our babysitter and I can completely focus on her shower. I did however get to put together her stroller for her that her volleyball team bought for her. That was so kind of them. Anyways, I will keep you posted on the shower drama. Jenny has another doctors appointment tomorrow. I will let you know how that goes.

Long time no blog...

Well as you can see I am a horrible blogger now that life is back to it's normal crazy routine. Matt is obviously back in town. One of these days I will have him do a blog to tell you about his trip. And one of these days I will take pictures of my kids and post them. Today I went with my sister to her ultrasound appointment. She is 31 weeks and 3 days pregnant. They are still having a boy. There is no denying that he is a "he". The baby looks like Jenny as a baby where as Reece looked like Scott from the beginning especially with the lips. You are probably asking yourself how can you tell from black and white photos? Well some were black and white and some were the 4D color photos. He has chubby cheeks too. It's crazy to think that something so precious and so wonderful would be in a woman's body and yet so many women disregard the precious gift of life that God has given them. I love watching or hearing his heart beat. I love watching or feeling him move. It is truly a miracle. But yet people don't view it as that. It really saddens me especially because there are people who would love and treasure those children but those children won't ever get that chance. Ok, I need to stop talking about this subject because it is making me really sad adn emotional. Anyways, it was a really cool experience to be with my sister and get to experience her pregnancy with her. Maybe one day we will get to do it to. I am now on facebook so if you want to contact me there that is a fast and easy way.
