I can’t believe it has already been 22 weeks. Landry is really growing and so is my belly. It is the neatest feeling to have him kicking around during the day. It has become my favorite part of pregnancy so far.
Things are really beginning to come together in his room as well. We have finished painting, hanging curtains, installing a closet shelf and new ceiling fan, putting together all of the furniture and setting up his bedding. Now we just need to add the decorative touches. We have decided to go vintage. We are thinking planes, trains, and automobiles with a vintage twist. We found some cute things at Hobby Lobby and are now looking for some prints for the walls. Here are a few shots of his room coming together…
I got to take a much needed break this weekend when my mom and sister came to visit! My godmother Cindy and great friend Jenni threw me a shower at a lovely little tea room. I had such a wonderful time relaxing with friends,eating some yummy snacks, and drinking delicious tea. I was super spoiled with cute gifts for Landry, some for myself, and the beginning of a library for Landry. Jenni had a great idea for everyone to bring a book for Lan Man instead of a card to start his first library. What a great idea!! I got some great books. Of course I forgot my camera but luckily Yomaida came to the rescue. I promise to post pictures soon. Here are a few of the precious gifts I received.
Some great gifts from some great friends!
My mom and my sister put together a mommy pampering kit complete with lotion, chap stick, scrubs, slippers and a monogramed robe that says “Landry’s Mommy.”
Landry’s Library, new stroller/car seat set and matching diaper bag!
Some more sweet gifts for baby boy…
Another great idea of Jenni and Cindy. I got to take home a pampering basket full of lotions, soaps, body scrubs, lip glosses, body sprays, and a journal. Also, Jenni bought thank you cards that were already addressed and stamped for me to send out thank you’s. What a cool idea!!! All I have to do is write in the thank you now. Thanks Jenni and Cindy for a wonderful Saturday afternoon!!
