October is one of the busiest months in the event industry and we are on full blast at work. Lenny spent a few days out of town this week working on the setup for a wedding this weekend. Between his quick trip and the days being filled with phone calls, emails and appointments - the week (like I feel like I keep saying) truly does fly by.
Earlier this week a package arrived to the house. I wasn't expecting anything and was surprised to see some special presents for baby Shelor! Marmi went out of town to Dallas and Atlanta this month and during one of her trips, couldn't help herself - she saw some adorable items at Pottery Barn Kids and shipped them straight to us. How adorable are these??
We have a sheep washcloth/mitt and a sheep towel wrap. Sophie the giraffe is a great play toy and two organic swaddling blankets!
Thank you Marmi!! Baby S loves you so much already!! We've been feeling so blessed and loved during this whole process.
I bought a flight back home to Memphis for a long weekend in November this week as well. I can't wait to give my family and friends big hugs! Marmi already has a plan for my sister and I and my niece and her to go do baby registry. I have so much to learn but I know I will be in good hands with this crew.
This weekend was filled with fun activities! On Friday evening we got to meet our good friends Aundrea, Michael and their son Samuel out at a restaurant called the Waldhorn for their annual Oktoberfest. I do all of the event equipment for their month long festival so we like to go each year. We had bratwurst and pretzels and turkey legs (the biggest turkey leg you've ever seen!) We had German beer (I drank non-alcoholic beer of course!) and we listened to German music but the most fun of all -- People watching! It was a great time for us.
I worked on Saturday for a little while and came home afterwards to eat lunch and went for an hour walk outside. It's been so beautiful - the walk was fantastic. Lenny's parents came to Charlotte yesterday - their friend was having a birthday party here so they came over afterward and spent the night with us. We always have so much fun together! Lenny's mom, Mimi, is the queen of scrap-booking. Our nephew, Austin, has some of the most beautiful scrapbooks I have ever put my eyes on. Mimi is extremely talented and she could make some big bucks doing scrapbooking professionally but I know it takes a LOT of time! :) She has been so excited to start our little bean's scrapbook. She brought it down with her and showed us the first page which she completed this week. See below.
Can you believe this?? It's already so so sweet! We found out in July that we were pregnant so this is the first page - The calendar for July, a picture of Lenny and I -- and yes... THE pregnancy test (some people find this a little weird - I think it's totally normal to save your pregnancy test!) And on the right hand side - it says "How I told your Daddy" - so it's my perspective, telling our little one, how I told Lenny I was pregnant. And, look at the three hearts on the left by our picture. Now there's three hearts in our little family unit. It really does make me tear up! I'm emotional over one page in this scrapbook! It's only going to get better!
Thank you Mimi for doing this for us. It will keep this incredible time in our lives fresh for years to come. Baby Shelor is so lucky to have you as a grandmother!!
We have our 18 week ultra sound on Wednesday. Pictures and videos to follow, of course! And next weekend Lenny and I are heading down to Clemson, SC to watch the Tigers play!! I am so excited to see some of my best girlfriends. It's been way too long!
Until next time!
xoxo,
Sara
