Arts and Crafts and Showers, Oh My!

Getting closer to becoming parents -- I'm 32 weeks pregnant!

Thanks Kelly for reminding me that it's been WAY TOO LONG since I posted a blog! A lot has changed since Christmas (my last post).....especially my belly! This baby boy sure is growing and with his due date quickly approaching -- only 40 more days till May 3rd -- Kyle and I have been busy getting things ready for his arrival! His nursery is nearing completion. I am quite proud of my canvas artwork that I painted to complement his bedding.


I'm still working on the wooden letters that spell out his name, "W Y A T T", to hang on the wall above his changing table. Once the room is completed, I will try to remember to post photos. I must say, it has been fun making a few "custom" things for him and in the process, I've discovered that I am actually craftier than I ever thought I was!

With his arrival right around the corner, the baby showers have begun. I've really enjoyed the time with friends and family that I haven't seen in awhile. Here are photos from my first shower, March 9th.
