I have been so blessed with such amazing friends and family! Not only did I have an absolutely amazing shower hosted by dear friends and a girls' baby celebration weekend with my college gals, but also I have been given to have 2 family showers (one surprise) and a surprise shower thrown by work friends. Phew! October has been a super busy month. Macie, Justin and I are just so lucky!
On October 9th, Lynn and Garron threw Justin and I a surprise Baby Brunch celebration. So much fun! Of course, the food was delicious and the company was great. We were so excited to get some really wonderful (and essential) items for Macie. Seeing things like her stroller and pack and play all set up make her arrive seem sooo soon! How very exciting!!
Then, the next weekend (October 17th), was my family shower hosted by my mom and sis. They did such a great job! Again, the food, company and decorations were both amazing. Mom and Sara picked out an adorable cake that said "Tickled Pink" with precious baby rattles, etc. We had a blast hanging out with everyone and again, we ended up leaving Baton Rouge with a car full of wonderful baby items for our little bebe. It's been so much fun getting to celebrate the impending arrival of Macie with our family and friends.
As if we weren't spoiled enough, my wonderful work friends threw me a surprise shower the next day at work! They were so incredibly sweet and had the conference room all set up with food, a precious cake and decorations. I was completely in shock! They gave us a gift card to buy our jogging stroller-what a great gift! Needless to say, I think Macie is ALL set.
With all the partying we've been doing this month, it has really flown by and as of now, there are only 5ish weeks until her due date. Wow! Honestly, these weeks have really been flying by quickly. Which does leave me feeling a mix of emotions...excited, nervous, anxious, scared, thrilled are just a couple of the things that go through my mind on a daily/weekly basis. Not to mention sleepy and hungry, but those are pretty much constant at this point-lol! We've got a lot of things done and just waiting to be done, but there are still a ton of items on my to do list. I am definitely in full fledged nesting mode. This weekend I'm planning to take advantage of that and get some serious cleaning done around the house. Also, I'd like to knock out her nursery and start washing clothes, sheets and blankets and taking inventory of which items we'll need before she comes. One tiny fear that has been keeping me from washing and setting everything up is "what if she's a he!" Not that I think she is, but umm that would really throw me for a loop. I'm prepared for a little Macie, not a little Mason! haha :) Another thing I need to start thinking about is the hospital bag. AHHHH!! Maybe I'll wait til next weekend to start gathering my essential hospital items! ;)
XOXO,
Katie
P.S. Pics to come soon from the showers. I need to get everyone's pics together first.
