Baby Shower!

New things:

1. I've been working on my Halloween cards. Bichon's pictures in her costume have been ordered and I am finishing up my last few cards. I hope to mail them this weekend.



2. I found these really pretty stars at T.J. Maxx in the Christmas aisle. I thought they would look fun in Harbor's room year round. Every boy needs a lil' bling! : )





3. I also found these funky feathers in lime, chocolate, and blue and put them in a metal basket for his room. With the letters Lyndsey mod-podged at my shower sitting right above the feathers, it has all come together nicely. I'm loving how bright and colorful the feathers are.





4. David finally had time this weekend to hang the picture my mom and I found at Oops. It has a precious Emily Dickinson quote on it. I love the color of the eggs! They match our bedroom/bathroom so well.





5. Harbor's closet is already getting full!! After only one shower, I am shocked at the quantity of clothing he has already accumulated. Yikes! He is officially a baby metrosexual! Ha! I have tried to keep it all organized, and am thankful for the shelving we had our trim carpenter add while we were building.







I had my first baby shower this weekend! My best friend from High School, Lyndsey, threw a beautiful shower at her house. Everything was just gorgeous. I feel so blessed to have such loving, wonderful people in my life.

I feel so fortunate to have had four offers to have showers for me. Next week I have my work shower, a McCash shower, and the first of November another family shower. Lyndsey hosted what I called my "girlfriend" shower. It was nice to have a smaller guest list and actually get to cit-chat with all the girls. A big thanks to all for coming and being so sweet. Harbor thanks you! : )

WARNING: Lots of pictures of young, cute ladies coming up!!!

Amy made the cutest diaper case and wipe covers to match the nursery! You should hurry over to her blog and place an order!!!



These next few weeks should be exciting with more showers and the countdown getting closer to the due date! : ) With only six weeks to go, I am in the home stretch. I am ready, but at the same time, not. I have enjoyed being pregnant so it is a bit sad to know it is almost over.

Have a great week!

  21. It was so good to see you!!! Thanks for the invite. You and Harbor are going to have the best time together. I am soo glad that you like the Razorback outfit. I figured that David would get a kick out of it also. Your Mom is a sweet heart by the way. You are very lucky that she is going to be the one spending the days with the little man.

    I love the stars. His room is coming together. It could be in a design magazine. You have done a GREAT job.

  22. What a wonderful shower Lyndsey gave you. All the gifts you got, you can see the love & thoughtfulness that was put into each & every gift. The cake & toy chest that Lyndsey made you was so sweet, & that wet wipe cases that Amy covered was so great. It goes with Harbor's room so good. You are almost there Miss Jessica..Wow 6 weeks left, its went so fast. But our nursey's are ready for our little man. Such fun times ahead. Love you always...Mom

  23. Hi Jessica,
    I've been faithfully lurking in the wings reading about your excitement about Harbor. How fun and exciting! I missed your online shower because I was in Dallas for a Mothers of Preschoolers convention. I have a present for you and Harbor that I would love to send you guys. Could you email me your address??

  30. I really enjoyed getting to come to your shower. It was so good to see you and all the other girlfriends! Wow.. I couldn't believe there were 6 of us there expecting.. and all mostly boys! You looked great and beautiful as always. I'm so excited for you and David. There's nothing like having your first baby (each baby is special and exciting) but the first time it is all so new! Scrolling thru your latest posts, both of Harbor's nurserys look great.. love the scripture on the wall.. and the colors are stunning! I still want to come and see it in person.
    Fun, Fun!

  31. Harbor's nursery is looking great! I wish everyone could see it in person- pictures almost don't do it justice. =) Your shower was a blast- it was so good to see everyone and visit. I'm so glad you were blessed with lots of goodies. Harbor will be spelling his name by the time he's one with all of the monogramming! =) I love it!

  39. It's late & I can't remember (or focus to see) if I've commented on this before, but I just had to tell you that I came over via somebody's blog to look at last year's Christmas decorations several days ago (I didn't blog in 12/07), and just love all things Jessica. Hadn't even "noticed" that you were w/ child until I saw your shower photos. But had to tell ya' that I know you're another one of my soul sistas b/c I just bought some of those blue sequin stars at Home Goods on Sunday & have those apple green ostrich feathers from Z Gallerie & I'm seriously considering them going on top of my main Christmas tree this year. You rock!
