My trusty sidekick

I am obsessed with my dog. I mean, I love him SOOOO much. I know, I know.... it'll all change once the baby comes. I've heard it time and time again. This summer, Hank and I have spent some quality time together. We have a routine everyday:

Eddie gets up to get ready for work, Hank gets in bed with momma.

Hank wakes mom up around 8.

Hank and mom stay in bed until around 8:30 ish (it's been earlier lately).

Hank and mom take a walk for 40-60 mins.

Hank and mom come home and have breakfast together

Okay, I won't go through the whole day, but basically, we are side by side all day! He likes to ride in the car with me on errands, and we have been taking an afternoon nap together too! His world will be ROCKED at the new arrival! He will adjust perfectly, I know it. We can still take our afternoon naps together and we will still walk together everyday.

I realize this is a boring post, but I am trying to be better about posting and documenting this pregnancy. I want to be able to look back several months from now and remind myself that Hank was a good dog when I was pregnant and not always as attention deprived as he will surely be!

I seriously thought I was big THEN?

When I first got pregnant, I was convinced that I was showing early on....

Last week, my computer crashed and I lost a lot of pictures, and had to try to retrieve a lot of them (some without any success...). I came across these. I made Eddie take my picture to show off my new "bump."

SERIOUSLY?

And now... here is my 34 week bump:

now that's a bump!

Martha Stewart...

Many people that know my mother swear she is Martha Stewart's twin.... well, they don't look a thing alike, but my mom is SUPER creative and she basically can look at something and recreate it. I am excited by this, because it's awesome to have a mom that can literally do it all, but at the same time, people assume that I muse have her same creative abilities. Uh....no. Not at all!

When we were putting together the nursery, I fell in love with these picture frames from Restoration Hardware. And then I saw the prices.... they are all $59, $69, and $79! For a PICTURE frame! So, mom and I decided to have a little arts and craft day and here's what we came up with (there aren't pics in the frames, so we just put little nursery rhymes in them to be places holders until the little man arrives)...

These are the blocks we made... they have A, B, C on one side and spell C A L on the other side!

This is the mirror we made too...

The room is really coming together! Now it's just time for the baby!

Leslie's shower

This past Saturday, I drove to Winston-Salem to Sara's house, and we immediately got in her car to drive to Charlotte to go to Leslie's shower! Leslie is pregnant with TWINS, due in November, although the doctors told her to plan on going in October. She looked adorable and I could not get over her loot! She got some great things, and it made me think of things that I still need.... there's plenty of time though.....RIGHT???
