>The Mamas Visit!

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

Our mamas came last week! They brought many wonderful things baby! I have more clothes than I or Lily Ruth will ever know what to do with! I can’t wait to put every little thing on her! They also brought a list of projects to get done while they were here. We spent the week sewing, cleaning, organizing and getting this place in order for our little one. We’re ready now Lily! At least we hope it’s Lily or Gerhardt will have to wear all these pretty pink dresses!
Our living room exploded with baby stuff after the shower.
Mama washed and folded until she couldn’t wash and fold anymore!
Then we started in the nursery! Paint color: Sand 4 or Baby Cafe au lait! Phil got the easy part…all the trim. I was banished to the living room so baby and I wouldn’t pass out or grow a third eye.
All finished painting!Phil’s dad arrived Sunday with the furniture he had made!

The changing table.

The crib.

The bookshelf and ta da! The nursery was finished!

James and Sandy’s glider reupholstered in chocolate brown, Lily’s favorite.
Neil also made a little rocker for her.
Look at all her pretty clothes. These are just the up to 3 month sizes. There are two more closets full of the larger sizes. I can’t wait for Lily to be here!

>Bancroft Baby Shower.

June 14th I was showered once more with kindness, generosity and of course baby stuff! Some of the ladies at church hosted a baby shower for us. We’re all set now. I can’t think of one more thing we’ll need for this baby. It was also very nice to have Phil’s and my mom there, for the shower and for the aftermath!

The hostesses.

Phil loved this one. It’s a good thing this won’t fit when she’s 12.

My little helper Alix.
Here are Elizabeth, 96 and Gladys, 98. Still getting around.

>30 Weeks.

Here we are at 30 weeks! I realized this baby could be here in 7 weeks, probably later, hopefully not sooner! That just isn’t a long time from now!
I’m hoping she moves while she’s sleeping, otherwise we have a little “hyper-hypo” on our hands, she moves a lot. I’m beginning to see my belly jump when she kicks and can see her rolling around and I think I felt a tiny foot the other day. When Phil feels these he screams like a girl. I’ve been known to scream too!
We’re getting very anxious to meet this little one!
