Suprise Baby Shower!

So my sweet husband and dear friend Angie organized a surprise baby shower for me this last Saturday. I truly had no idea!! I thought Angie and I were going for 1 last pedicure and lunch before Piper gets here, but to my surprise it was a baby shower. I was really impressed with the decorations and theme. Doug got everything in girlie pirate theme to match the pirate car seat cover I had made. Way cute! Thank you to all you girls who came. And a big THANK YOU to ANGIE, DEB and FREDDY for letting us use your home and preparing all the delicious food. We had a great time!!!

Cheri came up with this idea for the shower. She brought all the supplies to make flowers to attach to headbands and all the girls at the shower made one, and I got to bring the finished product home. Thanks girls...they will be put to good use I promise that !

Raleigh helping mom open baby gifts. We were giggling because my other 2 children both have glass piggy banks like this one. Not the same color, but perfect to add to the piggy bank collections.

We had to take a picture of this cute onesie. We thought Doug's mom would like it since she is Japanese!

This is some of the fun decor that Doug got, again I am impressed!! Angie great job with arranging it all :)

Thanks Shevon for the cute outfits, piggy bank, and onesies!

Thanks Michele for the adorable sleeper, dress, and always needed diapers!

Thanks again Cheri for the headbands, and the highchair! I will be very excited to use it! I've never had a real highchair and this is my third child.

Thank you Kim for the soft cozy blanket! There is a theme here of a lot of pink and brown so it matches everything perfectly!

Mandy thank you for the cute outfit for Piper, and for coming and bringing your super cute baby that all the girls were ahhhing over!

Playing find the safety pins in the rice game...if you haven't tried it, it is harder than you think.

Don't you love the pirate hat Doug got me to wear?

Baby update

So I went in today for my weekly routine check up and nothing has changed from last week. I did lose a pound and the baby is bigger that's all the new info there is. My midwife thinks this baby will be bigger than my other ones which is weird cause I've only gained 20 pounds and was more sick with this one. I hope she is wrong!!! If the baby doesn't come before the 19th of April then that will be the lucky day they induce me. We'll see.....

Raleigh's Surgery

Raleigh had her tonsils, adenoids, and both sides of her nose cauterized for bloody noses done today at the McKay Surgical Center. The day got off to a good start as you can see by the pictures, but it all went down hill after the surgery. She is a little inconsolable and groggy from the anesthesia. We'll do great once we get through this first day. We are looking forward to no more sickness, and bloody noses. Wish us luck over the next couple days and also we are crossing our fingers that the baby doesn't decide to come this week!!!!!

This is Raleigh a hold of the camera while we are waiting for the anesthesiologist to bring her back.

Here is Raleigh going around the corner in the wagon back to surgery...I tried to get my camera out to take a picture and this was all that I got!

The water works begin back in the recovery room...I've been praying for extra patience all day!

Finally asleep......this lasted 15 minutes

This is where they placed the IV for the surgery. She did not like it there one bit and kept trying to pull at it. That is why they don't put it in there arm. Anytime a Dr. or nurse would come and check on her she would pull her blanket up over her face and didn't want to look at them. I think she thought that they tricked her!!!!

Easter Fun

Here are our fun Easter pictures of coloring eggs....to Easter morning! Enjoy :)

Look at all our eggs!

Piper's Car Seat Cover

I see such cute car seat covers everywhere these days. I've checked out the pricing of them at the kiosks at the mall and the pricing is outrageous. I thought I would be creative and make an original one of my own. Yes I sewed the whole thing myself....It turned out perfect! Maybe I should start making these and selling them for half the price of the ones at the mall???

Here are the bow ties to keep the cover from coming off. They are sewed onto the cover itself and then they velcro over the handle.

The inside of the car seat cover matches the hairbows on the skeletons on the outside!
