She is spoiled! :)

A busy couple of weeks it has been! We just returned home from celebrating Baby Clements in Indianapolis! What a great weekend we had! I drove up to Indy earlier in the week for work, and Michael joined me on Friday. It was so great to catch up with work friends and they even surprised me with a Baby Shower on Thursday! Lots of yummy cake, food and gifts for the baby! I truly was surprised and so appreciative of everything they did (pics coming soon)!

On Friday, my sister, my niece Caroline and Michael flew in from Atlanta. We spent the evening getting ready for the baby shower on Saturday. I couldn't keep myself out of the planning and helped them get ready for the festivities on Saturday.

My sister preparing the "diaper cake"...so cute!

Ok, so it took a few more hands (and beers) to get this thing done:)


Finished product - so cute!


Saturday was the big shower! Big thanks to the hostesses for throwing such a great party! Everything was perfect! We had the shower at George's, which was perfect for our group. I got to catch up with so many people and celebrate our baby girl! The place looked great - my dear friend Kaeley did the flowers and my sister-in-law, Stevie put together adorable favors for everyone! We played some great games (like guessing how big my belly is - thanks to those who came up short:) and opened SO many great gifts from everyone - she is spoiled!



Beautiful flowers and cupcakes!

The place looked great! THANK YOU to the great hostesses, Mom, Katie and Stevie (not to mention Caroline and Emily)!


So many great gifts! Thank you to everyone!!


The adorable favors - bags of popcorn that read "Susan is about to pop!"


On Saturday evening, we had a family "weenie" roast at my Grandparents house. The weather was great, as we sat outside, cooked hot dogs and smores over the fire and watched the little ones carve pumpkins and cause trouble:) Michael and I really enjoyed seeing my Grandparents, cousins, Aunt, Uncle, niece and nephews!

We let Adrienne and Evan help out with the carving:)

My girls - Caroline and Emily!


Sadly, on Sunday, we had to head back to Atlanta. First, we stopped off at our great friends, Lindsay and Adam's as they are expecting their first this winter too! Since they moved back to Indy, we don't get to see them as much, so it was so fun to see each other's bellies and catch up! Michael did a great job of stuffing, I mean packing,  our car with all of Baby Girl's new goodies! Once home, we couldn't wait to unload the car and see her nursey really come together - well, at least in the process! Here is a video of how spoiled she is and my belly:) Next Dr. appointment is tomorrow (32 week appointment) - can't wait to hear about her progress! Enjoy!

10 Weeks to go!

Hey everyone!
Well, fall is pretty much here in Atlanta! This weather has been great! It definitely makes sleeping easier for a pregnant woman! Poor Michael, I think he freezes at night!

We celebrated Michael's 28th birthday last week! He took a night off of studying and we headed to our favorite mexican spot. He got a new lens for his camera, just time in for Baby Girl to arrive. We continued celebrating the next night at the Braves game with some friends (tailgating was great - too bad we lost...BUT, we managed to make the playoffs).

On Sunday, we celebrated our second wedding anniversary! To be honest, these two years have flown by! It seems like yesterday that all of our friends and family (including so many Aussies) were dancing and drinking the night away (or the night before, or the entire week of:) We had breakfast at a place we found recently while at a festival - the Australian Bakery Cafe - a little piece of home for Michael. Although we skipped on the meat pies for breakfast, it was fun to be surrounded by Aussie flags and accents! We bought each other a Flip Camera - again, just in time for Baby Girl's arrival!

Michael also surprised me with a prenatal massage gift certificate! I CAN'T wait for this!!

In our spare time (ha), we are still working on projects around the house, etc.! The nursery is pretty much done, except for a few small things to decorate it! We are also on the search for a new "family" car...no, no mini van yet, but maybe something bigger than the Passat:)

We are really looking forward to our trip to Indy next week! We have not been back in months so it will be great to catch up with friends and family. Here are some recent pics of the belly, around Atlanta, etc.! Enjoy!!

Braves game - with Michael's fancy new lens!



Pretty ironic!


I promise the jersey will be retired soon!


A great find! Yes, I even eat the sausage rolls!
