Almost TIME!

I found out on Friday that I will be induced this Thursday evening, with the hopes to have her by Friday morning! Yay! We are both so excited and ready-we cannot stand it. It is going to be a long week waiting to meet our sweet Blakely. Stay tuned for lots and lots and lots of pictures. I am looking forward to taking her newborn portraits-the poor little thing is going to be sick of me taking her picture :)

Friend's Shower

I have the greatest friends in the world! Chelsie, Casey & Laci-threw Blakely and I a fabulous shower last weekend. They thought every little detail out-I loved this first idea: A candy bar! Chelsie made the cute little bags, so that as everyone left the shower they could fill a bag with candy. What a good idea! They had the cutest decorations and everything matched Blakely's nursery theme so well. I am so blessed to have so many friends that care for me-I dont know what I will ever do to repay them for their kindess!! :) Here are some pictures from the day (my camera died and I was so dissapointed I didnt get individual pictures with everyone!).

Laci made this cake-isnt she talented!? It had a jelly filling (She canned the jelly herself!)
Look at this awesome diaper cake-Chelsie made it! Chelsie is very crafty-it makes me jealous!!!
Casey and her mom put on a freaking awesome spread-fruits/veggies/dips/croissants/chicken salad/awesome punch etc. I could have eaten the whole time... I had to restrain myself.
Arent the ball thingy's cute!!? :)

Me and My cute cake :) Blakely loves cake. Well, I blame it on her anyways....

The toilet paper game..this makes me laugh...everyone was supposed to tear off a strip of paper that they thought was about as big around as I was...Jenn tore off a piece about 10 ft long. THANKS JENN!!!!! hahaha!

Church Shower

Brian and I are so thankful for such an amazing church family. Me and Blakely's church shower was amazingggg! I was so excited to get so many neat things. Here are a few pictures from the day.

opening presents is serious business....

Blakely's Wonderful Gifts---insanity!

I love my sweet friend Laci

Blakely's room after the madness was brought home! :)

Blakely's Room

These are pictures of Blake's room before we had our showers....it looks totally different now that that there are sweet little baby items EVERYWHERE! Brian had the idea to frame out the window with vintage wood - I am in love with it. My mom and grandma made the bedskirt, and my dad made the cream colored shelving...I am so thankful for so many helpers. Her name sign was made by her daddy, its an old piece of wood- we love the color.

Now, we just need a baby to put in the room!

Check it out! I got the official Melody C. Photography logo yesterday....I cannot tell you how pumepd I am with this-it turned out awesome-thanks to Nicole Wilson at Zeal Design Studio!

Lots has been going on around the Clampet house-I have lots of pictures to share-maybe this weekend that will get done!

So, i just looked at the little ticker over there in the right hand corner ----------->

It is now in the "50's".

I think I just had a mini-heart attack.

Alright, back to work.

30 weeks---

I cant believe its been 5 weeks since I last posted. Lot's has happened! We painted the Jenny Lind style crib turquoise and then broke it. Fantastic. So last Saturday we hopped in the car and drove to Babies R Us in Austin to buy a new crib. We ended up with a super simple brown crib-I love it! Brian finished painting the baseboards and the walls (which are a khaki color) and my mom and grandma made the bedskirt. Yay! Things are finally moving along. Good thing because we only have ten weeks (or less) left!

25 weeks.

AWW--my little angel Ellie Bear :)

Welp. I've made it 25 weeks!

My 24 week check up was last week-everything looks great (except that I have gained 3lb's to much). Great. I mean seriously--- I am so hungry! Give a prego a break .

The highlights of my week:

• Dad built amazing shelving for her closet...and a matching nightstand. Love it!
• Went with mom and Shel to Market Days and bought her some CUTEEE hand made hair bows.
• Decided on the material for her bedding.
• Decided on paint color for all furniture and walls in the nursery.
• Celebrated my baby sisters 17th birthday at Bj's. 17!? Makes me sad.
• Made Brian take more pictures of me. I super hate having my picture made. But I keep telling myself Ill be happy to have them one day. I am thinking I need a new camera, and Brian can use my old one and we can double team this photography thing--he's pretty darn good!
