Last Sunday my four best friends threw a baby shower for me. The snacks were yummy and the pink punch was unbelievable good. There was a huge pink carriage cake that was delicious and cute favors made of rice krispy treats cut into baby shapes....on a stick! I had a great time hanging with the girls and discussing various baby topics. Elly received a bunch of wonderful things such as the whale bath tub, bottles, adorable outfits, diapers, bumbo, and a bouncy swing. We all had a great time. The guests played Baby Bingo while I unwrapped gifts. The other game was trying not to use the word "baby" throughout the shower. We each had a safety pin on our shirt and if you said "baby" whoever caught you could take your pin. I was up by 3 baby pins until I said the word. That was hard! But it was a fun time and I am so thankful for the friends that I have. It was very special.
This weekend we have pretty much just stayed at home relaxing. Yesterday Wes finished up Elly's dresser so it is now in the nursery and filled with her wardrobe.
This morning we met up with a family friend to take maternity pictures at the Riverwalk at 8:00am! I am excited to see how they turned out with the sunrise and the beautiful day that we had today.
It is officially Football Season!!! Both Clemson and Carolina won their games yesterday. I have to say one of my favorite things to do is lay on the couch, watching football with Wes. Even though we always cheer for the opposite team, we have a blast doing it.
We have 50 days to go until Baby Elly makes her debut. I have now started counting days instead of weeks. I have gained about 22 pounds so far and have managed to keep it all in my belly. Must be good genetics because I eat what I want, when I want, and HOW MUCH I want all the time! In comparison to others, I feel pretty fortunate I've had a good pregnancy. My only complaints are the occasional Braxton Hicks contractions that seem to come on when I'm trying to work or get things done in the house...or shopping, the daily back pain, and sleepless nights. I guess I better get used to not getting sleep now. Maybe that's preparation for what's to come!
