My Baby Shower

Saturday, a very rainy day here in Chicagoland, was the day of my baby shower!

The decorations were beautiful…

The cake was beautiful too… and delicious. ;)

I know that many of my friends and family don’t read the blog (“What’s a blog? Why would you write one?”), but I’d like to thank them all again for coming. Everyone showed such love and support, and we really have everything we need now, except for the baby!

And of course, a huge thank you to my sister-in-law for hosting the shower in her lovely home. Thank you, Portia.

Poufs?

At this point in my pregnancy, I would really like a soft cushy place to put my feet up. I’m thinking about either buying a Moroccan Pouf from John Derian or making one of Amy Butler’s Gum Drop Pillows. I’m sure I can find a permanent home for one or the other long after the baby is born, and actually she’ll probably love having a little pouf to lounge around on.

I know I’m about three years too late to get in on the trend, but I’m not really concerned with that. I suppose I’m just trying to decide if I want to spend the cash on the pouf (it’s awfully cute) or just try to make my own.

32 Weeks Pregnant

I look like this now:

I feel like I can’t get much bigger, but I know that I can (and will).

30 Weeks Pregnant

Remember when I said about nine weeks ago that I was at that “comfortably pregnant” stage and I wondered when the uncomfortable part would start? It’s here.

At least I’m 3/4 of the way there…

New Glasses

Hooray for new specs! Our insurance covers a lot of the cost, so I took advantage of that before the year ended. I found them online too (at a discount), in case anyone is inclined to check them out.

Also, here I am at 25 and a half weeks pregnant. Getting bigger, but still feeling all right.
