laying low

I'm so sorry for being so slack with my blog lately. It's been more difficult to keep up with than I thought while I was pregnant. I had a appt. yesterday and my BP was high. I have been officially put on low activity at home. So far all my labs have come back good and I get good BPs at home but when I've gone into the doctor's office the last two days they haven't been so good. I'm very lucky to have my mother and MIL near by to help with anything and everything. I have no idea how I'm going to do this low activity with a two year old but I guess we'll figure it out. Please keep me in your prayers if you can. Baby Ellie needs a few more weeks in there!

Baby Shower

I had my baby shower this past weekend. It was wonderful!!! My MIL hosted it and did a fabulous job!! She had it at the restaurant Grace 17.20 and the food was amazing. It was so fancy that they had little menus for each person printed with my name on them! I got a ton of beautiful clothes. Two of my favorites were a vintage Polly Flinders dress from my SIL and monogrammed bloomers and bib from a close family friend.

I was just so excited to make it the shower this time. I miss all three of my showers with Ben because I had him so early.

Birthday and Babymoon

This past weekend my lovely husband and I went away! Since I can't travel far, we booked a hotel room here and went to dinner here. It was heavenly!!!!

Our check in had few glitches but we ended up with a club level room and $25 off the rate we booked at! I was happy that we had a high floor so we had some sort of view. The room had a giant bathroom with a huge tub. I made a note that I must take a bubble bath before we leave.

Dinner was fabulous!! I had filet and fried lobster tail and Jason had scallops. It was decadent and delicious!! We finished the meal with creme brulee, my absolute favorite dessert in the world.

We returned to room for relaxing evening that included my awesome bubble bath and chocolate covered strawberries from Godiva.

I'm so lucky to have such a great husband!!! :)

early birthday present

My wonderful husband bought me an early birthday present! It is so much fun!!! I'm still learning how to use it but I can see hours of wasted time ahead!

I'm having a.......

I've been so busy with real life that I have ignored my blog. I have some more big news to share!

We are having a .........GIRL!!!!

I am very excited!!! My husband only thought about all the new "stuff" that we'll need to buy. He is slowing getting use to the idea. Now we have to decide on a name.....should be interesting since it took us until Ben was four days old to name him!

I've decided to do her nursery in pink and green. I've ordered the bedding and it should be here by the end of the week.

Here's a pic

I can't decide what color to paint. I'm leaning towards green and then accents of pink. I really want everything to be done WAY ahead of time so I don't feel like I did with Ben.
