Baby Shower

My sweet friends from church decided to throw me a baby shower this weekend!! I really was blessed by the whole thing! I am still amazed that these girls would put so much work into this when they have only known me since we arrived 5 months ago. It is so nice to have family away from family who are willing to go all out for someone they haven't known for very long!

Here I am with my 33 1/2 week belly! We had a guess the size of Robin's belly game where each person had to cut a string the length they thought I was around. Some people were a little ambitious! Maybe if I was having septuplets?? I guess I have a little over 6 weeks to go still...we will see!

Classic books! "Where the Wild Things Are" and "The Hungry Caterpillar"...complete with finger puppet!

Lizzie explaining the baby food game. Some of the flavors were chicken and wild rice, butternut squash and root veggie, and pear and banana...kind of gross! Especially the chicken one!

Beautiful Fall Baby Shower Table!

Here is a shot of the AMAZING food they prepared!

Thanks again guys for a wonderful time! You will never know how much this meant to me!

Completed Projects

Just wanted to post a couple of pictures of projects I have recently completed. I had a lot of fun making them!The stuffed owl and elephant were by far the most work, but I think they came out cute!

Also made a daddy and baby matching beanie! :)

I am almost done with my blanket, so I will be posting that soon!

Also a birthday shout out to Katie Feistel! Love you!

Cool Front

As we call it in Texas, a "cool front" has made its way to London! It is currently 60 degrees and sunny. A perfect fall day! I think I will go for a walk as to not miss out on this glorious day! Do wish I had a car at this point because walking long distances is getting tougher for me.

I have officially accepted that summer has come and gone (all 2 weeks of 85 degree weather we had here). BUT, that means that we are entering in to the fall season...yes my friends, the season that my little boy will be born in! I really can't believe it. We only have 8 weeks from Friday until the due date and are so excited about meeting him we can't stand it!

I am almost done with all the books I set out to read and almost done with the 2 stuffed toys (an owl and an elephant) and blanket I am making for him. I will post pictures soon when I get them done.

I am trying to cherish these last couple months of being by myself during the day. That will not be the case for many many years...a very bizarre feeling indeed.

I will post more belly pics soon if Jared will take some this weekend (It is getting quite large!)! Hope everyone has a great day!
