Baby Showers Part II!

Our sweet life group at church gave us a little diaper shower before Sunday School one morning! We had breakfast and cake of course!

 

Some of the coaches wives and Moms from John's school got together and threw us a couples shower that same afternoon! We had a lot of fun and once again got tons of sweet gifts for baby Emory!

 

Last but not least, we had the "aunts" shower as we call it! All of John's aunts on his Mom's side give all the nieces wedding and baby showers.

 

 

Love these ladies so much!!!

Baby Showers Part I!

Let me start by saying how BLESSED John and I feel to have such sweet, thoughtful, and loving family and friends! We are overwhelmed by the amount of love we (and baby Emory) have been shown.

Our first little shower was given by some sweet girls from FBC Vicksburg. About 13 of us met at Walnut Hills (yummy!) in Vicksburg to eat and celebrate Miss Emory. I brought my camera but it stayed hanging on the back of my chair- go figure! My friend Margie took all of the pictures so I'll add those when she emails them to me! (No rush Marge!!!) We had such a good time catching up and Emory got lots of fun goodies!! I miss those girls SO much!


One of my best friends, Jennifer, and her Mom hosted another shower for us in Rolling Fork on December 2, 2012. Everything was beautiful!! Most of these pictures are blurry or the lighting is weird but at least I have some!

John Boy came by to load the loot but he had to sneak a picture with his favorite niece first!

 

 

The nursing staff at work gave me a quick little shower one Friday afternoon! Wow is all I can say! Such a sweet sweet group of girls! A lot of people couldn't make it because Friday afternoons are so hectic but we had a good time anyway!

Yummy cake!

 Emory's one loved little lady :)

 One of my favorite outfits! Thanks Aunt Haley!

 

Whew!!! I'll be back with Part II!

Nursery Progress

Although we live in an apartment we were dead set on painting her room. Knowing we would have to return it to its original color before we left, we chose a very very light pink.

We enlisted the help of John's parents for the task!

We got her bedding from Pottery Barn (on sale!) and her furniture from Babies R Us

 

The crib converts to a toddler bed and then a full size bed so it will grow with her.

 

Completed nursery pictures coming soon!

Second Trimester: Weeks 14-27

The second trimester was a breeze compared to the first! No nausea/vomiting, more energy, and back to eating what I wanted! Besides a little heartburn we sailed right through! The highlight, of course, was finding out this sweet baby was a girl and getting started on her nursery!

 I still wasn't great keeping up with pictures but we took a few here and there! Here are some random ones from my iPhone.
