So my friends and family can be up on life here in GR

Growing like gangbusters

Another few weeks have gone by and so I have a few more photos
Bebe is getting there :)


No Leap Day Bebe for us. 
Command day, March 4th, would be another good option. :)

Practice makes perfect

We had a few little test subjects in town over the weekend, so we tried out our skills. They made it home alive...but getting a onesie off a flopper is a bit of a trick :)


Fun with Grandpa at the Meijer Gardens.

Dressed for Sunday!

When they left, Linds said, 'See you when you're a mom!'
Holy Moly.

Spoiled Bebe

Our Bebe is already a very loved little one. So much generosity and kindness has been shown to Bebe and to us and we're so thankful.

On Friday, my coworkers threw me an afternoon shower, so many generous gifts including a baby carrier! Peter's excited to use it! 'Carry the baby like a rucksack!"

Beautiful and delicious cake

On Saturday, Peter's family threw us a shower too. The food was wonderful and the decorations were so darling and generous in their own right!


Diaper cake with 300 diapers! and so many gifts too!

 Theo is testing out one of Bebe's new gifts :)

That's a wrap on showers before my due date, now we're just eagerly anticipating our little one's arrival! 
What will Bebe be?!

My Funny Valentine

Just ask, he's hilarious! A card really :)
Valentine's comes as the last hurrah of celebrations around our house. We celebrate Christmas, our anniversary, my birthday, and Valentines with quite a number of other family birthdays sprinkled in there too. It's almost like sweet relief to make it to the 14th and we usually keep things pretty simple. 

A birdhouse bursting with love notes and beautiful decor.

Jet's Pizza got us this year, they really did!

True love doesnt need to be dolled up, right?

Merry Christmas Mom

Over the weekend we cashed in on Mom's Christmas gift - Disney on Ice!

It happened to be Valentice weekend downtown too, so there was a very cool ice sculpture outside of the arena, cool!


This was my favorite part, all the princesses!

I have wonderful memories of going to these sorts of things as a kid and it's just as good in adulthood!

Showers of Blessings

My Dad's side of our family threw me a shower recently and it was just darling and so generous, I'm so thankful!

Cute baby diaper napkins, delicious food, and a teddy bear too!

Great Aunts Faith and Eunice

Mom and Darcy

Mom gifted me clothes she received for her first baby that Grandma V had knit. So sweet!

Lots of helpful and handy gifts too, I was quite overwhelmed with how thoughtful things were, so appreciated!

Getting in on the act

Everyone's doing their part to welcome Bebe to the world and our home.
Bebe's bassinet is an antique laundry basket my grandpa slept in, I had new fabrics made for it and Peter reinforced the hinges and now we cant wait to lay our little one in it.


Everything that comes in the house she thinks is for her...this could be a rough transition :)
