The Couture Couple

So today is the 9 day countdown until Charlotte is due! Of course with my family history that means that we should meet her in about 3 weeks!! Who knows! Anyways, My last official day of work was last Friday, which also happened to be the big fashion show that we've been working toward at work for the last 3 months. Sorry we didnt get any pictures of the show itself but here is a pic of Dave and I post- show (if you look closely you can see me personify a well known cliche) Dave helped serve drinks to all the snooty dog- carrying Carmelites, thats why he gets a t-shirt too.

Daddy's Day

Today is a special day for all of the Daddies in the world, whether it is their first Father's Day ,like Dave's, or their 27th like my own Daddy's. I feel very lucky to have both of these men in my life. Dads make us feel safe and secure, yet smart and independent...I cant wait for Charlotte to feel all of these things from her own Daddy...she has a really great one. Here are some pictures of Charlotte's room all finished I made all the cushions and skirt on the crib, Dave got her the fish tank. Our fish are named Little John (he is originally from our wedding centerpieces), Moto, and Sarah (she of course is the cutest fish with the white belly)

Baby Shower

So Im a bit behind on updating everyone on the latest haps. Ive been sick this week, so I apologize. Anyways, I had the most awesome baby shower last weekend thanks to Aunt Lu, Aunt Dana, Karen and everyone else who brought/sent such beautiful, cute, creative, unique gifts! I must admit these pictures were kind of hard to look at, I guess looking at myself everyday in the mirror is a bit different then a picture. I didnt realize how different (ie chubby) I look these days, Oh well, I guess it comes with the territory!
I was overwhelmed by all the thoughtful and beautiful gifts that we recieved including 2 handmade blankets, on handmade fabric, many things from our registry and one of my personal favorites the little pink Hello Kitty Kimono directly from Japan.
We played a few really fun games such as "guess the white powder"(baby powder, detergent, sugar, baking soda, etc.), "baby trivia" (did you know the largest baby at birth weighed 24 lbs!), "guess how big Meg's belly is using a string measurement" (Aunt Lu won) and "find the safety pins in a bowl of rice (blindfolded)" (this one was much harder than it sounds)!
Anyways, it was really really fun, if only a few more important women could have been there it would have been complete! Charlotte is gonna be a lucky girl!
