This Weekend and Monday

This Weekend:
Saturday was an errand day – we pretty much were moving from 8am until 8pm. House cleaned, laundry completed, headed to every store and bank necessary… it was exhausting but really productive and necessary. I ended up crashing around 9pm. I wore a pair of Motherhood Maternity jeans with the Secret Fit Belly that I got on eBay for $6, an olive knit top with a twisted/knot look in front that was donated from a friend, and a black cami underneath.

Sunday was my baby shower. It was scheduled for last weekend but had to be postponed because of my father-in-law. Still there were 30 loved ones who could still come and it was an amazing event. My sister, mom and dear friend Shelly did a beautiful job – fresh flowers in every room, the most delicious food and punches (heard the alcohol one was divine – just know the virgin one was tres yummy with raspberries and blackberries floating in it!). The coolest thing was a baby onesie painting station. They hung a clothesline across the dining room and had blank baby onesies, hats and tee shirts and a bunch of sponges, brushes, paint pens, puffy paint and fabric paint to get creative. Some of the most ADORABLE pieces were creative – I didn't know I had such crafty friends! 🙂 Here's a pic of me making one, and the final results!

I feel so blessed to have so many generous and loving friends and family – we feel well prepared for the baby with everything received. And of COURSE she got some fabu outfits! We got many necessary things, fun things, items moms said are “must-haves,” and some homemade and personal pieces. My husband's cousin made a gorgeous quilt of the prettiest colors and had a patch on it that made mention of my husband's deceased father as being the baby's grandfather. So sweet, I just couldn't keep in the tears at that point.

As for me, I wore the same thing I wore on Wednesday, but did it with a smokey eye. Since those are the only shoes that really fit, I didn't have much choice! 🙂 BTW thank you all for the Marshall's suggestion for another pair of those shoes. I went to one Marshall's and they didn't have that shoe but they did have a few other pairs by Sofft for around $39.99. None that fit, but I will go to another location this week!

Monday:
And then today – wearing shoes I should really give up but can't until I find another black pair with at least a teensy bit of a heel (don't want to spend to hem all the pants I own).
