33 weeks

It's hard to believe that in just about 6 weeks, Baby Girl Polanski will be making her scheduled arrival into the world. Since Steve and I are both so type A and punctual, I have decided that she is likely to be born right on her due date in true Polanski fashion. We attended childbirth class this weekend - I thought the class did a good job of touching on everything but not going into TOO much detail on any one area. It was the perfect amount of information for both of us. Steve's Sunday morning golfing buddies were so thoughtful and threw us a shower last night. Not only was it fun to celebrate the pending arrival of Baby P, but it was so nice to meet everyone and their wives. The shower was hosted at the beautiful home of Pat and Elizabeth...oh, I could have moved right in! Here are some pictures. First an overdue belly shot, then a few pictures from the shower, including one of my favorite gift, the cutest tutu onesie that I have ever seen!

Nursery Progress and Happpy Easter!

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind - family visits, showers, and you know, the rest of our crazy, busy life. It is an exciting time for Steve and I, and I find that the weeks are starting to go by quicker and quicker. We have made some more progress on the nursery. I have to credit my friend, Britte, for recommending http://www.etsy.com/ for nursery decor. At first, I was a bit overwhelmed by how much stuff they have, but after I got a little more specific with my search criteria, I found lots of great, reasonably priced hand-made decor. I seemed to have fallen into a owl / bird decor - the artwork that I got is actually designed based on a Pottery Barn Kids bedding set that they are currently selling (I think it's called their Hayley Collection). The colors are similar to my bedding, so I think it works great. I am still waiting on a couple more things - picture for over the changing table, drawer pulls and curtains. Here are the pictures:

This was a shower gift - so precious!

I really love this ryhme and wanted to find a way to incorporate it into the room

Her mobile - a gift from my bestest friend, Stacey and her mom, Barbara.

Easter Brunch at Ridglea Country Club (yes, that is the same dress that I wore to my shower, pregnancy wardrobe is limited :-))

On Friday, my friends, Erin and Randy threw me a shower to celebrate with my co-workers. They really went all out and every detail was so thoughtful. Thanks again ladies!

Spoiled

This weekend my friends here in Fort Worth threw me and Baby Girl P a beautiful baby shower. It was on Saturday morning at the house of my friend Claire - it was a perfect morning for the shower which was hosted outdoors in her large, shaded back yard. Baby Girl is going to be so blessed to have so many fabulous women for role models in her life. I am overwhelmed by everyone's generosity and support to help us prepare for her pending arrival. Both my family and Steve's came in town for the festive occasion - it was a great weekend!
