My friends threw the most precious baby shower for us this past weekend. It was so, so cute and they really outdid themselves!
The theme was just too cute!
Delicious food table! My friend Lauren is so talented at arranging flowers!
Precious favor table. Popcorns and candies!
Jordan’s mom did the mantel…it was stunning!
Me and my best friends…the hostesses!
We felt so loved and it was so sweet of them to do this for us! How pretty is my bestie, Mercedes’, house?
We have been moved into the new house for almost three weeks…WOOHOO! We were SO BUSY while Jimmy was home trying to get as settled as possible. He won’t be home again until December 16th…which is about two weeks before our due date. It still feels a little surreal that we are actually moved in…I feel like all we have been doing is talking about it for so long that I never thought the day would actually come. Other than a few things the painters have to finish/touch up, a few things left on the electricians list, our butcher block counter top for the island, and our closets/pantry that can’t be installed until the beginning of December we are pretty much finished! I am feeling pretty settled other than the closets/pantry, lack of pictures hung, and decorative/furniture things we need. It feels like a dream house…now we just need our baby to make it complete!
New Entry…
Master Bath. I was nervous about how the colors I went with were going to work out, but we love it! Showering is a dream…afraid to see the first water bill though!
New laundry room/office…was the screened in porch off of master before. I really love this space! My mom was in town this past weekend and sewed these window treatments. I love them!
Wet Bar in Kitchen. One of our favorite decisions – an ice maker that makes sonic ice! I’m chewing it as I type.
Obviously awaiting the butcher block counter top for island…biggest mistake of the whole project…we ordered the wrong size! Yikes.
The dining room table was Jimmy’s great grandmothers. We are so lucky to have it. Jimmy’s parents had some old wingback chairs that I am having recovered for the ends of the table and the current chairs need to be steamed!
Living Room. TV needs to be mounted…pillows to be made…etc.
Sun Porch.
These chairs were my grandparents that I had recovered and the table was Jimmy’s grandparents. My mom made all of the pillows. I love these special touches.
It is a work in progress, but we have come SO FAR! It has been nice having a space to entertain again. We have already hosted supper club and I’ve had friends over on several other occasions over the past couple of weeks. This was the main event that I was waiting on in order to really feel ready for the baby…now I’m just holding out for Jimmy to get home on December 16th and he can join us whenever he pleases!
Several weekends ago our families threw us such a sweet baby shower on Folly Beach! Jimmy ended up having to fly out the morning of the shower to head back to work which was a total bummer, but it was a special day. My sister, two of my nieces, and nephew from Texas were all there and my aunt and uncle from Alabama made the trip as well. They came in on Friday to go to my dads game…which we just won’t talk about! It was so special to have them there and meant so much that they all made such long trips. The decorations, food, and company were perfect and we received so many sweet gifts.
I have been SO busy while Jimmy has been gone this time with car buying and house decisions. Speaking of him being gone…he is working in West Africa right now…which is a tad worrisome with all of the ebola scares. Hopefully no quarantines or anything crazy when he flies home next week! We bought a new car while he was gone which was really exciting! And our cabinets have started to go in. Woohoo…progress! The car buying was a stressful experience without him here to help, but I did it. We knew we needed a bigger car for me to drive since I will soon have a lot more precious cargo to tote around. I still have my car that I have been driving to work and we will try to sell it in a few weeks. I can’t wait to have the car seat in the back of our new car! Football season is going well as my dads team hasn’t lost since the first game they played in Ohio. We are 6-1!! All is going great with the pregnancy and we now go to the doctor every 2 weeks…crazy! We will be 29 weeks tomorrow and I am definitely getting bigger by the week. I have been noticing myself getting a little more tired lately…I went to bed at 7:30 the other night and I slept in until 9 this morning! HA! A few pics…
How Far Along: 26 weeks today! Time is moving pretty quickly!
Size of Baby: I’m not sure, but he feels BIG! 
Maternity Clothes: Yes, Yes, and Yes.
Gender: Still a boy!
Movement: Lots of kicks.
Sleep: Hit or miss…
Symptoms: Some pelvic pain, but that’s really about it other than a few minor pains here and there. Feeling pretty lucky to have gotten this far without too many symptoms.
What I miss: Same as before…Jimmy! Having my own house and kitchen! Also would really like to enjoy a pumpkin beer!
Cravings: Sweets…Candy…Pumpkin Beer
Best Moment this week: Got some flowers and a sweet note from a sweet friend today! It is really fun to the see progress on the house as well! Goose Creek football win!
What I am looking forward to: Jimmy’s return on Oct 23. Moving into the new house sometime around then. Fall weather! Meeting our sweet baby in 3 months…THREE…ahh!
