Baby, Baby, Baby!
I’ve officially declared this week as “Baby Week” at Sweet Expressions! Why the change from birthdays to babys? Well I have to be honest with you, it’s because I’m expecting my 3rd child in October so I have lots of baby things on the brain. I can’t help but think of all the things I want to personalize for our little one. Right now I’m in nesting mode and started crocheting a blanket for baby! I did this for my second one too and it is really quite relaxing.
Although I’m at a loss of words about what topic I want to specifically talk about regarding baby events such as baby showers, and baby arrival announcements. There are so many ideas swimming around in my head right now I’m not sure where to begin. Perhaps I’ll share with you a little bit about this baby story, especially if you havne’t been following in the past couple of months.
Well it all started in January of this year. My husband was going on a business trip and this particular time, because of where he was going, the family decided to tag along. We were in the mountains of Tennessee in a little cabin with our other 2 kiddos. When you add family time, spouse time and a hot tub apparently it equals baby. (innocent smile) We were not planning to have any more children and we had donated or sold everything we owned in regards to baby gear. So it’s like we are starting all over again. It makes you feel a little, well, foolish to have gone through it twice and only 3 years ago and you’ve already given all the stuff away because it “was in the way and taking up needed space”. Well guess what they “needed” space is going to be now? Yep, you guessed it a nursery for baby. Let me tell you getting a baby’s room ready is some kind of reality check for sure. It’s like the final thing before the actual big finale when you bring baby home and it wakes you every 2 hours, lol. (now that’s past reality, that’s a whole new world!)
When we first found out we had a little contest on Facebook and peeps got to vote on whether they thought baby is a boy or girl. (It’s a Girl for those that don’t know.) and I think next we’ll have a contest to see who can guess the date or closest to the date of delivery. Since baby is due in mid October it would be a great Halloween give-a-way! So more details will come as it gets closer to the countdown. Well, me…I’m already counting down but it’s a bit early for a contest countdown.
While I collect my thoughts about baby showers, our next topic, please share with us your most memorable moments at your baby shower or a friend’s shower. I’d love to get ideas for food, games, and decorations and I’ll share with you some unique favors!
