Baby Shower Heaven...

This past weekend was one of the best ones I've had in a long time. All of my girlfriends came into town and threw me one of the nicest baby showers I have ever been too.  Everyone arrived on Friday and we went to pick up Stacey from the airport. After some much needed vino (no, not me) and pizza, all the girls came over to my house so Felix could put his old bartending skills to work. All of the OOC girls showed up as well and we had a big time. 

The baby shower was Saturday morning at the Dunwoody Country Club. The girls had everything decorated to the nine's and they didn't miss a beat. Another shout out to Mattycakes for one of the cutest rattle cakes I have EVER seen! Baby Blair got SO many presents. I think I was opening gifts for close to three hours! It was so much fun and I didn't want it to end...

I really appreciate all the hard work that everyone put into everything. I am also very thankful for my friends that took time out of their Saturday to come and shower Miss Blair.  We even had a surprise visitor towards the end...

Look who arrived..Baby Katherine!

Saturday night, all the girls met up for old time sakes at Taxco. Everyone but me took part in pitchers and pitchers of margaritas! I kept reminding myself that my day is coming and tried to  not get too upset! After filling up on chips and cheese dip, we all headed back to my house and sat by the nice big fire Felix had prepared for us (okay, he turned on the switch to the gas logs).  It seems that all of my friends freeze to death in my house for some reason. Felix and I are very hot natured and we prefer to just wear alot of clothing. We promise to try to warm things up in here once the baby arrives! HA!  I was so sad to see Sunday come. I didn't want everyone to leave, but I did get to spend some quality time with Stacey and the Decker girls that afternoon.  Aunt Stacey broke in the glider and rocked Miss Katherine all afternoon while Anna Kate and Virginia helped me organize all of my loot! I don't know what I would do without these girls. I am going to have to hire Virginia as my "sister" when Blair arrives so she can help me out on the weekends ;)

Halloween!!!

Felix and I had a pretty low key Halloween this year. We went over to our good friend, Robert Rigsby's house for a Halloweenie Roast. His neighborhood has all the kiddies over for hot dogs and goodies prior to trick or treating.  All the kids were so precious in their costumes. This is a tradition that Robert and Sister had carried on for many, many years. Felix and I joked with Robert that this was our FIRST invite....HA!

On Saturday, our new neighbors had a costume party to introduce themselves to the neighborhood. Everyone really went to alot of effort with their costumes. Well, except for me and Felix. I went as a pregnant woman, and Felix went as my husband! Shame on us for not participating; we promise to do better next year! I did manage to take my new camera and snap some photos of the costumes!!!

As for the baby, we made it to 30 weeks!! It's hard to believe we have made it an additonal 3 weeks since our big scare. We are off to the doctor again this Friday for a new update. We are praying for a good report!
