First Baby Shower!

Mornin' glories!  I hope y'all had wonderfully relaxing weekends are getting some COOLER weather unlike the good ole' T-E-X-of-AS.  Sheesh.  I'm really getting sick of having 90+ degree weather EVERY day in the middle of September!  Seriously fall, where are you?  If you could kick it down south for a bit there is one pregnant lady that would REALLY appreciate not sweating every time she moves.  Spanks.

Other than the heat nastiness, the weekend was a great one!  On Friday we painted little man's room and it looks FANTASTIC.  And by "we painted" I mean the Mister painted everything and I painted one wall.  The green accent wall.  My Mister kicked some painting arse this weekend.  Thankfully it all turned out okay because we had a little bit of a fiasco on Friday morning.  The Mister had two days off before he starts his new job on Monday so Friday was his day to paint.  We borrowed an electric painter from his parents, which in theory sounded like an AWESOME idea, and when I left on Friday morning to go run some errands and pick up some things I needed for the shower on Saturday everything was a-okay.  Until about 30 minutes later.  I get a phone call from the Mister involving a request for a trip to Home Depot, a few explatives murmured under his breath and a VERY frustrated explanation that the electric painter had a clog in it and when the Mister went to clean it out in the bathtub it exploded all over the walls and the tub.  That's right.  Blue paint everywhere.  Needless to say he wasn't a very happy boy so I dropped the rest of my errands, went to Home Depot and picked myself up a roller to "help" (like I said, I did one wall, the man is a painting machine) and came straight home.  The end result is fantastic, in my opinion anyway.  I will let you judge for yourself ...

What do y'all think?  I love the way it turned out.  I can't wait to see it all put together!

Now, onto Saturday (i.e. the best shower EVER!)  Six of my closest girlfriends threw me my first baby shower and WHAT a shower it was!  Caleb was so VERY spoiled and loved on this special day.  Unfortunately two of the hostesses couldn't be there, but they were there in spirit.  We missed you Kim and Megs!  There was such detail and time put into this shower that I figured instead of telling you about the shower I'd just show you.  So here we go, a pictoral view of our very first baby shower.

First off, the deet's of the shower.  Luckily my Silly took my camera over and took TONS of pictures so I didn't have to worry about it.

All of the painted items you see my MOH made and will go in Caleb's nursery!

{His weight and DOB will be added to this when he gets here!}

And now onto the pictures with people in them.  Pardon my sweatyness, poor Andrea (my MOH) mom's AC broke about an hour before the party started so we were all a little warm but still had a FANTASTIC time!  I told her it was fine, I pretty much sweat no matter where I am so even if the air was working I'm sure my sweat situation would've been the same, we'll just go with "I'm glowing" that's what pregnant women are supposed to do anyways, right?

PHEW and that's just 1/4th of the pictures that I my Silly took!  It was SUCH a fun day and I was pampered and spoiled beyond belief.  I am so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends!

I hope you all enjoyed your weekends half as much as I did!  Happy Monday loverlies!!!
