Sprinkles and Showers!




We are very fortunate because we have had many people shower us with kindness and gifts! Three showers, a "sprinkle" from my Jr. League group, they got our swing from our registry which was an awesome gift! Also an adorable pink and green bib. Also a work shower, Myra and Dave hosted and it was fun. Probably 20 people came which was unexpected and they really showered us with great things, so kind. Kevin came to that one which was fun, and we played all the silly games you play at showers. Also, people wrote advice on cards which I liked and found to be useful. I will put that in Lola's baby book...

Last fabulous shower was given by Olivia and Robyn, it was at Robyn's house and a lot of fun. I was especially grateful because Leslie and Nicole came and they both had two week old babies! Jen came too, so lots of new moms there. That was especially fun.

Nursery!





We had planned on the baby's gender being a surprise, but a third trimester ultra sound to check for Placenta Previa (turned out to be no problem) provided us with a Christmas surprise- learning the gender! When we went to the ultrasound I asked Kevin if he wanted to know the sex and he said most definitely- I could tell how important it was to him.

So much for my gender neutral nursery! We had already decided on a white crib and contemplated a French blue and white color scheme, but now it is PINK, PINK, PINK! Hate to be cliche, but I just couldn't resist. I had the bedding made, a hassle and in hind site I would purchase it. But I wanted to do it just this once because future babies wont afford the time to tend to such details.

So pink and green it is... I can't wait for her to get here!
