Baby Shower (Week 34)

We feel very fortunate to have such supportive friends and family. The baby showers at both the Mahoney's and at the Tachibana's were wonderful. We feel so grateful for everyone's generosity. I was not expecting to be so prepared for our little one's arrival. We have been washing and sorting all the cute clothes, hats, socks and blankets that we received. We have put together the bouncer, pack n play, stroller, car seats, bathtub and high chair. Dave even tried on the baby carrier, secure with a doll for practice! We have been organizing and sorting all the books, towels, bibs, diapers, bath supplies and various other items. I can't wait until we can put everything to use in about a month!

Getting Ready for the Baby (Week 31)

We have finally started to set up the baby's room. It is very exciting to see it come together. We are living in a 2 bedroom house and the second bedroom is the office, so we are converting it to half office - half baby room. Dave just painted the blue dresser. It was one my parents had purchased at a thrift store for their first daughter, and I have memories of it from when I was a child. I love the things that family has given us and getting it all set up for our little one to arrive. Today we are off to A.G. to a baby shower at my sister's house this weekend and to spend time with my family.
