3rd Trimester Photos+3rd Baby Shower

On September 15th I had my last baby shower for Conrad!!

It was at laMadeline, hosted by Jennifer and Alethea Kirby and Taylor Lord!

It turned out to be so perfect, and I had a blast.

(I had delayed my appointment to Monday so I could sneak away to Dallas

one last time for my shower;)

Also, these photos will be serving as my "3rd Trimester Photo Shoot" ;)

Adorable invite:

My lovely hostesses!!!

A special thank you to them for all their hard work and time put into this-I know

they all have very busy lives and lots going on, and it means the world to me that

they did this for me;) It was awesome!!

gorgeous decor: (napkins courtesy of JustKateEtc. )

favors: yum.

I love the balloons, and pictures to add the personal touches:

awesome newborn photo prop gift filled with MORE gifts!! thanks Jenn:)

what a cake!!

I got this notebook at my first shower, I loved it so much I have brought

it to all of my others ones since then to keep track of gifts:)

I loved the idea the girls had of bringing a book in lieu of a card:

Swollen, but happy!!! :) 

Sister in laws:

beautiful bestie:

momma:

so glad family was there!

 

2 of my many preggo friends;) Crystal and Lauren!

(Due March and December:)

I wish I had gotten pictures with everyone:/ I tried to! It was so great to see

so many friends and family;)

Ok, so gift time!

Emma was such a good helper:)

funny faces and lots of laughter-showers are so fun!

this was taken on my phone at the end to send to Jordan...tired and ready to go relax;)

I went home the next morning with Taylor back to Austin. I was so

exhausted from the trip. Jordan was so helpful he got everything out of the car,

carried it upstairs and we laid everything out so he could see ALL the things we got!

I was overwhelmed at how much people gave!! 

What a blessing to have friends and family

that are willing to take time out of their day to come and shower us with love, support and gifts,

we are beyond grateful. Also, Bella still thinks she is the center of attention (or she wants

to be anyway....do you see her in the loot?:)

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!! Conrad is so blessed beyond words!

I will be 35 weeks in a couple days....now that I have everything,

the compete nursery reveal is next!

Greyson's Shower & Weeks 33 + 34

Week 33:

I'm so excited my baby book came in! When you're on bed rest you have
lots of time to search and shop the internet;) haha!
I read for a while about the best one, and fell in love with the Ruby Love
Modern Baby book off etsy. You get to customize the outside fabric
as well as the inside colors, I am SO pleased with it:)

I'm planning to change out the front window to have his initial-so it doesn't say that:)

Inside pages...I choose grey and orange:

Anyway...

After my first week and a half on bed rest, I was ready to get out of the house!

I am so grateful I am able to go to Dallas for Jennifer's shower and see family.

We left Friday after Jordan got off work, that night we had dinner

with my parents and played some games around the table:

Bella wanted to help Jordan keep score:

The next morning was Greyson and Jennifer's Baby Shower!

It was held at the Chocolate Angel in Richardson. 

These are the invitations: (just FYI this is not their real address;)

That morning before the shower I had a hair appointment. I figured it

was the last time I would be able to get it done for a while...plus

I found out that Trudy (the lady that does my hair) is moving to

Colorado....this was sad news. Its hard to find people you like that do 

your hair -(ladies, you know what I mean!:)

I decided to get some low lights for fall coming up:

#33 Weeks

Alethea picked me up and we rode to the shower:

Beautiful flowers from Central Market and pretty vintage lace jars for decoration:

The shower favors had this cute little poem Jennifer sent me "from Greyson" that went

with mini jars of bath salts for the guests to take home (courtesy of Jennifer:)

The beautiful guest of honor:

The food was so delicious. I still think about it;) lol.

2 Pregnant sisters!!! 

The 3 of us together, I love my sister in laws!! ;)

OK, gift time:

I love all the cute girl outfits!!!

bows bows bows

I like these:)

From us:

Super cute card, I love her reaction, haha:

the whole loot (before they loaded it up)

The shower was beautiful, Jenn got a lot of great stuff;) I wish I could have helped out more, 

but I was so glad to be able to be there.

Later that night, Jordan drove me to his parents house so we could

relax with them a little bit 

(since we probably won't see them again until the birth!)

 and to give Gabe his birthday present a little early.

We made s'mores around their fire pit, so yummy...I think I just

got a craving for s'mores while typing this...haha.

Anyway, I was exhausted after all the activity, 

so we couldn't stay long.

We left early the next morning to head back to Austin. 

It was not so fun to come home to a flat tire...

He's a good sport though:)

Yesterday, during the shower, Jordan drove with my brother, Josh

to pick up our glider that finally came in at Buy Buy Baby!!

He also was able to purchase our CityMini Baby Jogger stroller

that was on our registry. Both gifts from my parents, we were

very grateful and excited about!

I can't wait to go on walks again-but with Conrad!

He was so sweet to put it together as soon as we got home 

(he knew how excited I was to put up the final piece)

yay! I love the way it looks! I was kind of nervous when we ordered it

(back in May) when the nursery wasn't even completed. It's hard to custom order

colors when you can't see them all together. I'm so pleased with how it turned out, and

glad I can finally put out my little bird pillow from Land of Nod;)

Week 34:

My bed rest really hasn't been that bad at all because we have just had so

much going on, making the weeks go by quicker than expected;) 

On Tuesday, Josh and Jennifer came to Austin to stay at our house for 

their Maternity photo shoot on Wednesday. It was nice to have

company over and for them to see the nursery and everything.

Here is a sneak peek at how gorgeous her pictures turned out!

They left Wednesday night after their shoot. It was good to see them!

Sticker pics...growing growing!

#34 WEEKS!!

I can't wait to find out how big this boy is getting...

Thanks for reading!
