Baby Sprinkle

I have been very blessed, like I said before with so many people who've offered their services once Colbie arrives and I can't thank God enough for putting these great people in my life.

Recently one of my best friends Noele, who is also expecting her second child this spring threw me a very cute Baby Sprinkle. In case you don't know a Sprinkle is basically a Shower for a subsequent child. I was very blessed with the number of awesome girl friends I have that were able to show up and have fun and celebrate little Colbie.

We played some fun games, one of which was measuring my belly with string, and I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing that almost everyone's strings were absolutely huge on me. Noele had some great decorations and put up some cute baby clothes on a clothes line that I got to take home with me! I just love girls clothes.

There was some great food, but most of all this amazing Chocolate truffle cake ever, and it had Colbie's initials on it too. WAY cute!! My favorite part of the shower though was enjoying chatting and laughing with all of my friends. You don't realize what you have sometimes when it's right in front of you. Anyway here are a few pictures of me opening presents and enjoying time with my guests. Hope you enjoy!!!





Please ignore my faces, I love these shirts


The hostess Noele and I, both Momma's to be (again)


Look at that baby bump!!


Cute Mary Jane socks

And last but not least a few of Colbie's Aunties :)







I couldn't get everyone in because a lot of great ladies showed up and some more great friends couldn't make it. But I'm thankful for everything we've received for Baby Colbie and the cute gifts we've gotten for Big Sister Avery too. Thanks everyone and a big thanks to Noele for hosting my shower, er I mean sprinkle :)

Short and Stout

Being pregnant is not an easy task, being pregnant while chasing after, loving on, and entertaining another child is even harder, but I think for me one of the hardest things about being pregnant is being short.

Pregnancy takes a big toll on my petite body, especially my back and hips, and I think that is why God would never bless me with multiple babies at the same time. Luckily, Avery was pretty average at 7lbs 3ounces and I'm guessing Miss Colbie may be around 7lbs 9ounces or so.

But even with the difficulty sleeping, eating, bending, heartburn, entire body aching I'm trying to enjoy this pregnancy because it will be our last pregnancy. My favorite part though *enter sarcasm* are the lovely people, even other moms who just don't understand the old saying, "If you don't have something nice to say....don't say it at all."

Yes I know I'm short, yes I know I'm pregnant, no I'm not having twins, triplets.

After leaving a restaurant with Avery the other day an older woman said to me, "I hope you're close to home!" I didn't really get what she meant but assumed she meant close to the end of my pregnancy (and now realize she meant in case I deliver.) But anyway I continued to say nope, 4 more weeks for me. She said, "Wow!" and I said, "That's how I feel!"

Even when I was pregnant with Avery I got the, "Are you due yet's." You would think that moms would know better but even some of them make their remarks. Surprisingly, I only gain about 30-35lbs with my pregnancies, but being only 4' 10" really every ounce makes you look humongo! So I just deal and turn the other cheek and hopefully when Colbie is born people will start saying, "Wow you look good," and "did you just have a baby???," even if they don't really mean it. :)

100

Wow, I can't believe we're almost in the home stretch with this pregnancy. Today I have 100 more days until my due date. Of course baby will come before then by scheduled c-section, but since we don't know that date we'll stick to my due date.

My mom's group did an amazing photo shoot, with my amazing photog friend Barbara, it's something we try to do annually, Glamour Shots. A few of us mommas got together and had a blast, here are a few shots from the shoot, and me enjoying being just the right size.









and my personal fav....



We are amazed at how God is making this little one grow and how already we see so many differences in this pregnancy than with Avery.

She's so ready to be a big sister!
