Birthday parties, bloggy meetings, and more!

Hello, hello! I hope all is going well and that your week is off to a great start!

Here are Harbor's tree ornaments and stocking from Oops! I'm hoping it can be monogrammed. I can't wait to set his little tree up. I'm know he and Bichon will be good friends, thus the cute dog ornaments!













This Saturday, after our couple's breastfeeding class, David dropped me off at Tim's Pizza to meet up with Pinkmommy and baby Prince for lunch. We met at 12:00, and by 2:45, we were still chatting it up! : ) David came in to watch the game and happily held Prince while we visited. Can I just say that Pinkmommy is blessed with the gift of encouragment! She was so sweet, reassuring, and full of advice. I hope I didn't bore her with all my "baby talk", but it was so nice visiting with her since she has a newborn son. Pinkmommy has gorgeous curly hair by the way. : ) And she is very funny! I felt like we were old friends when we parted.





Happy 8th Birthday, Colton! After my bloggy meeting, David and I went to Colton's birthday party at Fun City. The kids had such fun bouncing in the ball pit. I had fun pigging out on cake and ice cream. : ) Alicia was my maid of honor in my wedding over seven years ago, so it is always a treat seeing her and her family.







My mom, me, and Alicia



Happy Birthday Jordan! On Sunday, David and I headed out to celebrate Jordan's 2nd birthday. Her momma, Brandy, and I are old friends from Jr. High/High school. Jordan had a fun bouncy castle and a gorgeous cake! Can I get an amen from the crowd for two days worth of buttercream frosting?? Thank you, Jesus! : )



















I'm so excited to show you my mother's nursery for Harbor. His room at her place is bigger than at our house, so she has had more floor space to really make some cute nooks and crannies. I love how her bedding came out, and especially love his adjoining bathroom. She has covered the room in pictures of Bichon, David, and myslef so that harbor will always see his "momma" and "daddy", even while we are at work. I love it mom, and I know Harbor will love having such a fun, colorful space at your house to call his very own.































I'm also excited that the new October issue of Peekaboo magazine is out and that Harbor's bedding was featured in the add. Mind you, it is a very small add, but to my family it is pretty exciting!





I want to also thank Leigh for the fabulous virtual shower she had for me last week! I have loved hearing from so many of you, anh have especially enjoyed the great gifts coming in the mail! The cookies have arrived as well as the "boob tube" cream! I feel so blessed to have such kind people in my life. Little Harbor will feel so loved one day to see all of your advice in his baby book!

Have a great week!

  11. Ha!!!Theres's my room for little Harbor, it was fun decorateing & finding stuff to help bring the room together. Can't wait to see Harbor's first doggie Christmas tree, Bichon will love it too, she won't even know what's going on, just a new little body in her house that cry's. I'm sure they will be best of buddies. Both getting into stuff, ha!!!So neat to see your baby bedding in that little magazine, thats just makes it that more special. Seeing that you hand picked each & every piece of fabric yourself. It looks great. And how cool to meet a bloggy friend. Life is so busy-thats just great to make the time to meet a new friend & what a beautiful baby boy Pink Mommy has. Jordan & Colton both looked like they had a good time at their birthday party's, as you can see the years are passing so fast. Love you..Mom

  16. The nursery turned out amazing. Oh, you are so blessed that your Mom is going to keep Harbor... he will be one lucky little boy. You look great and the Christmas Tree decorations are wonderful. We put all Emma's hairbows on her Christmas tree in her room and it was so cute...perhaps I need to post a picture of that. Have a great rest of the week.

  17. Everything is so beautiful it's hard to know where to start! I'll have to check out that website for the bedding. I want to do something for Shelby's room and haven't seen anything that I like out in the stores........and we've been to virtually a million. Just joking, but I'm sure you know what I mean. LOL

    Hope you are feeling great! I can't believe how fast time has flown by. It seems like yesterday when you announced you were pregnant. LOL

  25. Your Mom is something else...her own nursery for your little Harbor, WOW!!

    I'm jealous...I would love to have a nursery for Harper here at my house but I'm afraid she wouldn't be here enough to warrant that!

    It is darling and I love the bathroom too! CONGRATS TO ALL OF YOU!

  26. Jessica,

    Cute birthday cake!

    I ran across your blog and wanted to ask you where you bought your ottoman. I have an 11 month old son and have been looking for one just like this so he won't hurt himself in the living room.

    I will in NWA, too. Thanks for any help!

  40. Hey Jessica!
    Your mom's nursery is so cute!
    About having a big baby...our doctor told us he was going to be average (7-7 1/2 pds). The way they guess is by the measurements of your stomach and mine measured just avg so we had no idea. I really do think they're just kind of guessing, so you never know! That's part of the fun!

  41. Oh I love it!! Also, I love pinkmommy. That nursery is so adorable!!! and so are you!

  42. The nursery look fabulous! I know your parents must be beside themselves waiting for little Harbor to come. Of course I know you are. Will you get to take off very long after you have him? Brandy's little girl is so pretty. I commented often on her big eyes on her blog.
    Blessings,
    Linda

  43. I love his room at Grammy/Mema/Nana/Meme's house. What do you plan to call your mom and dad? It was a big question for us. We went with Mema and Papa for way to many of our Grandparents...so now one is Mema where Papa's up in heaven, one is Mema and Papa where Buttercup lives and one is Mema and Papa where Aunt Allie lives. My mom is Nana. I wish we had worked out different names BEFORE the Bos had a chance to give them his own names.
