35 Weeks Belly Shot

We are now in the home stretch...just one more month to go. Can you believe how big I'm getting? It's time to wash the baby clothes and pack hospital bags in case she decides she wants to come at Christmas.

The Nursery Is Open for Business

I'm so excited to share pictures of the nursery as it's been my special project for the last few months. I hope Baby S. likes her new room...Chloe certainly loves the room as she's discovered it's filled with lots of new toys. We're planning to add letters above the crib...just not until the big secret is out. Just a little over six weeks to go to the due date. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Houston Shower

Last weekend "the Girls" (Alicia, Annie, Katie, Karen and Holly) threw me a beautiful baby shower at Katie's house. It was so much fun to see everyone and celebrate with friends and family. Baby S. got so many nice things and we've been having so much fun organizing her closet. Did I mention how good the food was too? And how gorgeous Katie's house was? It's hard to believe we've got less than two months until we meet our baby girl!

Thank you again for making this a very special day!

Making Room for Baby...

Our built-ins are done!!! And after spending a week relocating the office to our new built-ins, we have officially made room for Baby S! We are so happy with the result. Below are pictures of our new project.

And to answer the question..."Is the nursery done yet?"...The baby furniture arrived today..however we are still waiting on the bedding, drapes, etc. so I don't want to post pictures until it really starts coming together.

Tulsa Shower

What a beautiful shower we had in Tulsa hosted by Cassidy, Aunt Patti and Vicki! It was so much fun. The decorated diapers were adorable. And Baby S is going to be decked out in her new stuff.
















For Cassidy's bachelorette party we hung panties, so it was so funny that she used the same game on me but with diapers. It was hard to guess who decorated each diaper!

Grandmothers-to-be!

And great grandmother-to-be!

Sisters! The story behind the diaper design is long and painful. In case you can't see what it is, it's a picture of The Incline in Colorado Springs. :(

Isn't this ice ring adorable?!? I'm filing this idea away for future parties.

Yummy and pretty!

Cousins with the proud dad-to-be after the party was over.

Last Day at Tristone

Yesterday was my last day of work at Tristone. It was a great day; however, I will miss my friends there. They had a beautiful shower in the boardroom and we got lots of fun baby toys. I've attached a few pictures.

Wouldn't you know I woke up at 6am this morning worrying over my to do list, which has been growing in anticipation of my last day.

One last shot of my office...

Buttercream frosting and white cake...delicious and beautiful

What's not the like about this?

Baby playard...

A cradle swing...

The butt paste was a hit...I guess I will find out what this is for later. :)

A picture of the entire crew...

Thank you to the ladies who made it all happen...Goodbye to the analysts...

Saying goodbye to my favorite bosses...I will miss them.

Babymoon

We had a great trip to Punta Mita. Can't believe it's already over and I have to give my husband back to work again!!! As far as the baby goes, Ryan got to feel her move when we were there which was pretty cool.

The infinity pool overlooking the ocean was our favorite spot. Every 40 minutes or so the attendants would bring by cold towels or a treat, which I really enjoyed. That's Ryan in the pool.

View from our balcony and Ryan loving the house shoes that come in the room.

Ryan played golf at the resort and it was fabulous! I'm so glad I came along for the ride because the course was absolutely beautiful.

In case you were wondering how he played, I've attached a few videos. The hole over the water is called the "Tail of the Whale" and we rode a golf cart that turned into a boat over to the island green. It was so fun! Sorry, I do not know how to splice these together so I had to attached each segment.

Dinner on the beach at sunset.

Dinner at Ketsi (some of the best cheese enchiladas I've ever had) and final night out to the St. Regis.

And, finally, a rare belly shot for those that want a progress update!
