Nursery preparations underway!

What a fun and productive weekend!!! :-)

Mom and dad came up on Thursday evening and we essentially spent all day Friday and Saturday fixing up things for the nursery (although we are still awaiting for the doors, molding and closet shelves-ugh!). Mom and dad bought Noah and I a glider chair for nursing/rocking the baby....such a lovely gift, and something we'll have forever! It is super comfy and I can already picture myself in it during those late nights with the baby. Noah and dad spent time putting the crib together and they did a great job....it looks fantastic and I'm so pleased to have this job complete! Mom and I painted the nursery dresser a very cute Disney green color....I absolutely love how it came out, and I owe 99% of the credit to mom who spent hours on this tedious project to make it perfect! Dad put together our baby jogger stroller, and Noah and dad together put together the glider chair! Tons of work, but we had a great time too!

Saturday night we went out to Vic's and enjoyed some music and dinner...such a fun area of town! Wally and Lager had a blast together as usual....and were best buddies the entire time! Definitely got some cute pics of the two of them together.

Sunday was the baby shower that some of my friends from here hosted for me! It was absolutely perfect and the food delicious! I feel so fortunate to have such wonderful friends here in the Twin Cities! I received so many adorable, generous gifts.....baby girl Parker is sure to be spoiled! :-) It was so much fun to have mom there too...and she had a great time meeting all of the girls. I've posted a few pics today, but mom has many more that I plan to add in the week ahead....unfortunately my camera battery died! Noah and dad enjoyed a round of golf together during the shower....of course they both loved that!

Mom and dad left this morning, but fortunately I had taken the day off to relax and get caught up on things...it has been wonderful! Definitely getting progressively more tired as the belly gets larger! Baby girl is still sitting very low in my belly....but still kicking a ton and growing!

Tomorrow it is back to work...however, only for a few days, as we are leaving for NYC on Saturday afternoon.....almost wedding time for my big bro! :-) I can't wait to be on vacation!
