Surprise Baby Shower

During my most recent (very quick) trip to Colorado, my mom surprised me with a baby shower--decked out in my nursery colors!  She totally pulled off the surprise, which is not an easy task in my family. I thought we were just stopping by a friend's house for a fall party before we left for California the next day. Fooled me! It was a beautiful shower and so great to see so many people that I haven't seen in years. I wish I would have a least washed my hair that day, but I was still quite happy as you can see here...(and quite pregnant).

We don't know if Baby A is a boy or girl (another little surprise coming our way), but I've known that I wanted yellow and gray in the baby room since I found out I was pregnant.  I just love, love, love the color combination. Elephants seem to fit right in with the scheme too. The room isn't quite ready yet, but here are the pictures from my shower. I can only hope that my nursery is equally as cute! Thanks to everyone who made this funny party possible!

FALL FUN

Just wanted to share something cute my mom found. It's a bucket list with "must-do's" during the fall season. Who doesn't love that the air is cooling down, trees are changing colors, and Starbucks is serving Pumpkin Spice Lattes!? I think it might be my favorite season (top 4 at least). It's especially nice to have some cooler weather now that I have an internal heater keeping me warm all of the time. So as these last 74 days of pregnancy linger on, I'm going to try to soak up Autumn as best I can! Who's with me??
