I’ll be starting my maternity leave from my shop (Pink Loves Brown) on Monday, April 6.
Hopefully the shop won’t be closed for too long, but if there’s anything you’ve had your eye on I’d recommend purchasing now! To celebrate my upcoming arrival, I’m offering 10% off on all orders with the promotional code “stork”.
And still pregnant! Sorry for the unexpected break — seems it led to a little speculation that I may have had a more exciting announcement to make. ;)
I’ve just been uncomfortable and exhausted. My doctor thinks I’m on track to go to my due date (April 14) or longer since first babies tend to come later. Anytime after 37 weeks is considered full-term though, so the baby is officially welcome to come out anytime now! At least I know it can’t be any longer than 5 weeks at this point… and hopefully sooner.
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.
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.
