Excuse how crazy exhausted I look. Last night was a hard one for me. I have entered the stage where sleeping can get uncomfortable at times. I woke up at 3:30 and kept tossing and turning. After about 20 minutes I decided to get up and go to our man cave and watch the season finale of the Kardashians. I got back in bed around 4:45 and tossed a little bit longer finally to be able to go to sleep. I will most definitely be going to sleep early tonight.
Like I mentioned earlier, the last month and a half has been crazy! We were in Memphis for 10 days in December and had a great time! It really was so nice being there! We ate some great food and had lots and lots of family time. Here's a couple of pictures from Christmas.
My sister Amanda, sister in law Jean, best friend Alayne and my mom Marmi threw me a fun baby shower! We got some great stuff!! It was so nice seeing everyone that came. Here are a few pictures from that shower.
There were about 15 people total that came and it was great. Thank you to the wonderful hostesses! You all did an incredible job and were so thoughtful.
We had also thrown a party for Adam's 30th birthday. It was a lot of fun! Here are a few pictures from that.
It has been years and years since we've had a picture of all 6 of us together. It was really nice being able to capture the 4 of us and our parents. It was also nice getting some pictures of just the four of us! We were never the family that sent out Christmas cards or had lots of pictures of all of us together growing up. Probably because a few (not me!) didn't so much like the camera when we were growing up. I know it's silly but I do get a little choked up looking at the picture of the four of us together. I love brothers and my sister.
Marmi and I took Lenny downtown and showed him some of the few sites we haven't ventured to in the 5 years that we've been together. I know - it's crazy we had not done this stuff together yet! We parked downtown and walked to the Peabody Hotel where we had some hot chocolate and watched the Peabody ducks. Then we walked down Main Street and saw some historical sites and neat stores. We then jumped on the Trolley and did a full circle downtown and around the river. It was a really beautiful day and lots of fun! Here are a few pictures.
We got back to Charlotte and have been going 90 miles an hour ever since! We went up to Mimi and Papa's house the first weekend we got back to celebrate our Christmas there. We also had a bridal show through work the same weekend so we drove back and forth. Christmas was so fun! We got some great things including my super amazing fabulous to die for diaper bag!!! It's a Petunia Pickle Bottom bag and I
L-O-V-E it. See below - isn't it adorable?
We got lots and lots of nice things from Mimi and Papa but I was super duper pumped about this.
We also had an amazing baby shower here in Charlotte the next weekend! My mother in law Mimi, sister in law Lisa Marie, and dear friends Caroline, Niki, Aundrea and Natalie through me a shower anyone would go crazy over! We had such a nice time. To add in even MORE fun... SURPRISE !! Lenny and my sister coordinated together and she flew out for the weekend!! He arranged for me to be able to take a few days off and she was here to celebrate the shower with us! It was an incredible weekend - so very memorable!! here are some pictures.
About 30 people came to the shower and we were just so overwhelmed with the love and generosity of our friends and family! Baby Shelor got some amazing gifts and I have LOVED everything!
The very next weekend Lenny and I ventured up to Floyd, Virginia to celebrate the annual Thompson family Christmas (this is Lenny's mom's side of the family). We get together every year (18 of us!) and eat, catch up, have a "dirty santa" gift exchange and a Rook tournament. We had such a nice time. It was cold in Floyd but it did not snow. I was worried that it would snow and we would get stuck and I'd by chance go in to labor and have to have baby S in the log cabin. Haha! Here's a picture of Lenny and I - I just love him!
And in the mix with ALL of this... The girls at work threw me a shower AND Lenny's family surprised us with a shower while we were in Floyd! It's been wild! I can't even describe how much cake I have eaten and how many presents we have opened! It's been so wonderful. I truly have enjoyed the last few months.
Baby S is weighing just under 4 pounds and is about 17 inches long. It's so crazy. We are touring the pediatricians office and the maternity center at the hospital this week. I also have a check up with my OB. We scheduled a "birthing class" for the end of February. Knocking things off the list! :)
The nursery is looking GREAT and I promise I will post pictures soon.
I will try to keep posting more!! Promise!
xoxo,
Sara
