Another wonderful Leppink's cake creation. Winnie the Pooh themed, of course, since that's the nursery theme. So adorable, and very tasty, too!
Judy, a good friend from college, and I. Judy is currently expecting baby #3 (due in early December), and her oldest daughter told us to "bump babies". Lol.
Me with the Grandmother's-to-be. My mom on the left (she'll hate this picture b/c she wasn't ready and smiling yet), and Ben's mom on the right.
Me and my Gramma Jane... "Grandma Great to be".
Me with lovely ladies from my home church. Left to right are: Ann (former Sunday school teacher), Sue B (former youth group leader), and Kathy (was in a UMW group with my mom).
Family shot- me with Myrna (a cousin through Grampa who I actually met at church) and my Aunt Julie (who happens to be up here from Mexico for the summer- special blessing that she was able to attend!)
Judy brought her two girls Abby (left) and Anna (right). Abby decided that the palm trees from a Noah's Ark playset I received made fabulous hair accessories for Justin.
Mommy and Daddy-to-be. Ben thinks it's funny that my belly is bigger than his hand.
The haul of baby gifts we received. Some really wonderful stuff!
Jen missed the bridal shower photo shoot, so I made her let me get this picture of the two of us later on that day at mom's house... to prove she was there, lol.
Just thought this was funny. Ben was blowing up balloons to put up on Gramma's mailbox for visitors to use to find the house. Crescendo didn't know what to make of the whole thing and was very intrigued by the sound of the balloon filling with air. Too cute!
Okay- last kitchen shot... this is the "before" with the hole that the plumber had to punch in the soffet in order to replace a leaking pipe (under which, you may remember, the previous owners had simply stuck a metal pan to catch water... said pan eventually filled up and caused the leak that WE saw).
Ta da! No more hole! Ben put some wood, new drywall, and drywall mud up... and everything is better now. Hurray!
Now just one more baby shower (this Friday evening) and we can focus on finishing the preparations at home for the baby's arrival. The nursery gets closer every day to being ready to welcome our sweet little one. We finished our childbirth classes last night (Monday), so we are as ready as we're going to get for THAT part of things. Got a nice tour of the childbirth center at the hospital as part of our final class, which was nice. I start week 37 on Wednesday (tomorrow), so we are really in the final stretch. Baby girl could choose to join us someday soon!
Love to all, Ben & Heather
