Nursery Decorating Shower and the finished product!

A few weeks ago, Jackson had his first baby shower. My friend Beth came up with the idea to throw a nursery decorating party. She, along with my friends Erin and Lally did a great job! A group of my close girlfriends came over and helped to paint Jackson's room. They brought gifts for Jackson which included paint and shelves. THANK YOU GIRLS for helping make his nursery so beautiful! Scroll through the pictures to see the finished product (well, almost finished).

The girls hard at work. Well, some of them.

Jackson's nursery!!!

Jackson's crib and beautiful bedding. Thanks Mimi and Nana!

Jackson's Aunt Meredith found the changing table and dresser/bookshelf at consignment. I think they look perfect! Thanks Aunt Meredith.

Maternity Pictures

Matthew and I had our pictures taken last night by the most talented photographer in the world (I'm not just saying that because she's my mom)! "Nana," aka Sabrina, made this bloated pregnant lady feel beautiful. I also have to brag on Matthew, he is such a good sport. He kept a smile through all 165 pictures! We had a good time and I can't wait till we get to take Jackson for pictures! Thank you again mom, we love the pictures. www.photographybysabrina.com.

"Babymoon"





With only a couple months left until we meet baby Jackson, Matthew and I decided we needed to take one last vacation before officially becoming parents. We booked a place to stay on Tuesday and drove to Myrtle Beach on Friday. It felt great to do something spontaneous and I'm so glad we went. We had an amazing time! It was the most relaxing vacation of my life. I'm feel so blessed to have such a wonderful marriage and enjoy each second Matthew and I spend together. By complete coincidence, Matthew's parents and the Hesleps were vacationing 30 minutes south of us in Litchfield and we were able to spend our last day at the beach with them. Thank you Uncle Tommy and Aunt Pam for giving us a place to stay! We had fun visiting with everyone. We only wish we could have stayed longer.
