"The Big Reveal"

As most of you already know, I'm pregnant, but I haven't written about it on here yet.  I'm in my 6th month and am due March 8.  The first few months were difficult as I was nauseous pretty much all the time and didn't eat much more than crackers and ginger ale.  But now I'm feeling better, I'm gaining weight as I should and eating normally (though my cookie intake has recently spiked as a result of the holiday season).

It seems that in these days of social media you have to do some sort of online reveal when you have big news, so this is mine.  It's mostly just the story of my baby shower last month. :)

When Fabri & I were home for a LOVELY Thanksgiving holiday break, my Mom & Sister threw us a baby shower.  We ate, drank (punch) and made merry.  Even the boys seemed to have a good time.

Amy and Caitlin got a little practice holding Rebecca's youngest, Logan.

Our generous friends and relatives brought a lot of gifts! At one point I didn't think we'd be able to get everything back home, but 4 checked bags weighing 50lbs each and 2 carry on's later everything made it back and is tucked away in the baby's room ready to be used in a few months.  I had to applaud Fabri for fitting everything!

Check out the amazing Very Hungry Caterpillar quilt my cousin Jen made!

Thank you all of you who were able to come and make the party so special and thanks again for all the great baby swag!

That is a very exciting story! Cookies are good for you, just keep baking and Fabri will help eat them.

I love the pic of you on the beach. So glad the nausea was only temporary (even though those months must have stunk!) looking forward to seeing you guys in the new year!

LOVE this pic..I have a copy at my house!

That quilt was one of the coolest things I've ever seen...brought back great memories of reading that book! Your baby is super lucky (for lots of reasons)!

Today I received a post-due shipment from amazon. Joey says I'm not allowed to swaddle cookie so I will send the additional pack with your mom for appropriate use with the baby :-)

Jess said...

Thank you everyone!

@Lauren - I think Joey's wrong and Cookie SHOULD be swaddled, but thank you so much!

I've been wondering if you got everything back. The shower was tons of fun, and all the baby stuff is just way too adorable.
