April Showers Bring May Flowers...and July Babies!

On Sunday, my dear friend Erin hosted a ducky-themed shower for me and bb. It was fun to see a bunch of friends and chat baby for awhile on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Here are a few pictures of all the cute touches that Erin included at the shower. Thanks, Erin!

Having a baby shower makes this whole having a baby thing feel pretty real! :) Good thing that we were also able to pick up the crib on Saturday. I've been trying to get as much done as possible now while I have a good amount of energy. Of course the warmer weather and sunshine helps anyone have more energy, right?

Bibbidi Bobbidi Blue

There may have been pigs flying by the window outside (I didn't check at the time), but Cory thinks that pregnancy may have actually helped my decisiveness in at least one area (clearly he was not with me the other day when it took me no less than 10 minutes to decide what to have for lunch...)!

We went to The Home Depot last Saturday to pick out paint for bb's room. Usually paint-selecting is a multi-hour, or even multi-day affair for me (yes, some of you may have seen the same golden shades of paint samples hanging on the board in my kitchen for many months now). But when selecting for bb's room, I marched right over to the Disney paint display, selected a lovely shade of blue, and knew I had made the right selection upon reading the name of the color...BIBBIDI BOBBIDI BLUE! My mom often uses the name of the paint color to help in tie breakers and I have to admit I took this as a sign that this was the color meant for us. Cory painted the room last weekend and was proud to show off his handiwork in the picture above.

Finally Some Photos!

Where'd my belly button go?

This week I noticed that my previously deep "innie" belly button is becoming a bit shallower each day. Of the many body changes that come with pregnancy, I find this one of the most intriguing. Will I become a belly button-less person, or will my "innie" do a full 180 and become an "outtie"? Only time will tell...
