Austin Shower

As you can tell from our lack of blogging, we've been VERY busy prepping for our daughter's big debut. I think Justin's hit his limit of errand running, to do lists, closet cleaning, furniture re-arranging, etc. Only a husband as wonderful as he is would put up with it all. We've been super productive, but somehow my list keeps growing...

We took a break from all of the preparations for a baby shower, lovingly hosted by our dear friends Meghan Hack, Meredith Greager, and Allison Beadle. Mom and Katie made it down for the shower, and we had the best time. Luckily, they also put up with me bossing them around with preparations for Baby T.

Lovely Hostesses : Meredith, Meghan & Allison

 

 

Fuzzy picture but great company. Brunch shower hosted at Annie's Cafe in Downtown Austin.

While I loved ALL of my thoughtful gifts, this one was truly special. Great Aunt Sally's handmade slip + gown from when she was a baby. So precious! Baby T has big shoes to fill:)

Beautiful baby blanket hand made by the wonderful woman, Ginny, who took care of me starting at 3 months old.  I hope we're lucky enough to find someone as amazing as Ginny to take care of our daughter.

Hostess Allison with her adorable daughter, Audrey. We are so fortunate to have them as neighbors. Audrey is going to show our daughter the ropes and have some killer play dates in the very near future.

Beautiful Mommy to Be and Grandma to Be flowers from the hostesses

Even Aunt To Be flowers - how thoughtful...

While most of the weekend was dominated with female only activities, we managed to get Justin involved in a delicious dinner at Backspace.

In the spirit of all things baby, we watched the documentary Babies last weekend - A look at one year in the life of four babies from around the world, from Mongolia to Namibia to San Francisco to Tokyo. It was remarkable how different each of the four cultures were, yet all four babies experienced the same milestones. I never thought I'd enjoy a movie without dialogue or subtitles so much. Super sweet...

I had my 34 week checkup today, and everything is going smoothly. We are officially on the home stretch of this pregnancy journey and are getting anxious to meet our daughter.
