Projects, Baby Shower, and a new Niece!

Today I finally have a moment to write a long awaited blog. First, let me go back a week when I was finally able to finish up the glider I was refinishing! I love it and it looks fabulous in Jude's baby room so here it is:

Before ---------- After

Saturday was my baby shower and it was a lot of fun! I was so excited to see everyone and we had a great time! We were able to get a lot of things that we will want and need for baby Jude! It was a blast and here are a few highlighted photos:

Last, but not least, today Brian and I became an Uncle & Aunt again! Brian's little brother John & his wife Sarah had their baby girl Lillian Audrey! We are both very happy and cannot wait to meet here, though it probably won't be until May… Here is the little sweetie pie:

The Day Before my Shower

I am so excited that tomorrow is our baby shower! I am so thrilled I get to see so many friends and family and just enjoy the day! 

Before I left for Illinois I was able to get a lot of different projects down around the house. I put together all the baby gifts together that came, I redid our glider for our baby room, and I did some decorating and cleaning. 

Here is the before & after glider photo:

Yesterday I was able to spend the day with Brian's family which was so much fun! It was very exciting to see everyone and just spend some time catching up about everything going on. So far the visit to Illinois has been going well and though I am looking forward to getting home after Turkey Day (it is soooo much warmer in GA) I will be thrilled if I can come home again for a short visit at Christmas. That is all up to the doctor I suppose…
