Long Overdue

I couldn't believe this morning when I signed into my blog that I've let almost 6 weeks go by without a new post. Although not too much has been going on outside of getting ready for Hannah's arrival, there were some exciting things in the month of November worth sharing. On November 13th, my Aunt Jan (my Mom's sister) and my cousin's wife Hillary (she's married to Jan's son, Matthew) hosted a lovely shower for me and Hannah. The women from both sides of my family where there as well as some from Curt's. Several of my Mom's and grandmother's friends also came that day to celebrate. I have to say, Jan and Hillary certainly know how to host a lovely baby shower tea. They thought of every last detail and made the entire afternoon such a special celebration. Here are several photos from the day!

This is the welcome table where everyone signed a baby book that Jan and Hillary picked out. Not only will I get to use it as Hannah's official baby book but it will have all of the guest's signatures from the day!

The shower was actually a tea party and my Aunt used her beautiful sterling teas pots and served the tea in china that belonged to my paternal grandmother as well as my maternal great-grandmother.

Vintage baby cards from when Mom and Jan were born in 1954 and 1956!

This was the dessert table. Not only did we have yummy cupcakes but Jan made homemade baby's foot cookies and homemade candies in the shape of baby rattles!

This is Katie Goodman who is now 8! I remember going to her baby shower when I was 18. Katie is so special to Curt and me (she was the flower girl in our wedding) and I was so glad that she and her mom Dana, who is also very special, could be there that day to help me celebrate!

I also had a baby shower at work last week on November 30th. Everyone in my department got together and "showered" me with wonderful presents and a yummy cake and punch! Here are a few photos from that day:

Curt and I are so blessed to have people in our lives that have put together such nice celebrations for Hannah! We are so thankful and cannot wait to meet our sweet daughter in 4 short weeks. I actually had a doctor's visit yesterday and we got some good news. At 30 weeks (the last time I had an ultrasound), Hannah was breech but we learned yesterday that she has flipped head down and I am out of the woods of having a c-section. No progress as far as dilation is concerned so it's still looking like Hannah's not going to make her appearance for another 4 weeks but you never know!
