1st baby shower

Today, I had my first baby shower. It was Super Mario themed, thrown by my best friend, at one of my favorite places in Dayton, and SO much fun! So I just wanted to share a few pictures with you.

I snapped this picture this morning, before heading to the shower. This is the fabric that we picked out (more like SCOURED the internet for) for the curtains. I pinned it up just to show my friends.



The shower was held at Dorothy Lane Market. I've spent a lot of time here, crocheting, visiting friends, people watching, etc. I'm so glad I was able to add this to my list of reasons to love this place.



Yum!


This is one of my favorite pictures from my pregnancy. Even though you can't really see my belly, I think you can see the excitement I'm feeling.


Garrett was SOOO excited to start his "daddy duties." He couldn't wait to put together the bouncer. (Shh...no one tell him that it will be at least August or September before baby boy will be able to use it!)


Success!

The Hills Have Eyes

Everything is coming along so nicely. I am so glad that we decided to go with this theme. And glad that Garrett took some of his vacation time so we could put a good deal of work in on it.

Garrett marked out the hills on the wall. Glad I married an engineer. (Hehe!)



The first hill has the first coat of paint.


Working on the 3rd hill.


The 3 hills are painted and the tallest hill has eyes. Still have to finish the border and other pairs of eyes.


Hermione is supervising me.


3 completed hills.  Interesting fact. The tallest hill is Garrett's height. And the next tallest hill is my height.


I'm 28 weeks today. Time for a "bump" picture.


Another picture of Hermione.



A finished green pipe by the door.


A finished light switch star.  I am thrilled with how this turned out.
