BABY M: Week 36

well this is super overdue - since we're due in 10 days. 10 days, y'all!



today a sweet, sweet friend stopped by to snap maternity pictures for us! most maternity pics are taken around month 7 - when your clothes still fit and you're not awkward + ginormous. i've really loved being pregnant - so i'm super thankful for her sweet gift. and (like this post) better late than never!

i've been praying all week that baby would stay put just a tiny bit longer. now we're good to go! anytime, baby! however - if we make it one more week to week 40 - we'll need to find a pumpkin ... in january. any suggestions!?

while we wait - a little month by month recap:

 

baby shower #3 - work friends!

both wade and i have been blessed with amazing friends within our workplaces. this weekend baby munday was showered with more love and gifts by some of these ladies. my fabulous hosts - cherylann and anna - went over and beyond again. and THOSE macarons via the painted cupcake. can i add a dozen or so to our registry? or at least demand that wade pick up a batch as my first meal post labor??

** want proof that i take the worst candids ever? these were the best of's. oh, upper right.

Baby M: Week 32

baby shower #2 - the gallatin friends + family!

kapow - have i mentioned that my maternity wardrobe is 10x bolder than anything i ever dared to wear while slim and trim!?! well - here's proof.

it was such a sweet treat to celebrate baby munday w/ friends and family from the gallatin area a few weekends ago (nov 16th). shame on me for being so ridiculously slow pulling pictures from camera to computer AND for barely capturing pictures w/ any of the guests (including one w/ my mother-in-law and mom - who drove 7 hrs to make the celebration).

my sister-in-law melissa and good friend joanna were the perfect hosts. mommy went to town on the incredible spread - oh yum! and joanna what was the trick to the tea again? an arnold palmer (1/2 lemonade + 1/2 tea) + almond? new favorite drink.

thank you again to everyone for your sweet gifts & thoughtful advice. baby munday is so blessed by each of you already!

baby shower #1 - my nashville gals!

i had such a great time celebrating baby munday w/ a group of nashville gals last weekend (we missed those of you that couldn't attend!). feeling more and more prepared for baby thanks to your sweet gifts & thoughtful advice.

a big thank you to my 5 lovely hosts - emily, laura, shelbie, faith and taylor.
