Bits and Pieces

So I've been thinking.....when you are trying to lose weight and you reach your goal weight early, it's considered an accomplishment. I think the same rules apply in pregnancy and weight gain, right? If you reach your goal weight 9ish weeks before baby is due, it should also be considered an accomplishment. That's what I'm going to tell myself for the remainder of the pregnancy. :)
Some of my Dallas gals threw me a fabulous shower last weekend (pics to come in a later post). A huge thank you to the wonderful gals who planned, prepped and set up....and thanks to everyone who came out and made for a wonderful afternoon. I appreciate all the super useful and ADORABLE gifts (knit baseball hat that will go perfectly with Yankees outfits, crocheted booties, fun decorated onsies...just to mention a few!). I'm hoping Aiden is chill and likes to "play dress up" (is there a manly way to say that?) when he's born...he has a lot of great outfits to try out.
Aiden's room is coming along in the sense that all items are ordered, but we are still waiting for some things to come in before we can finish up the details. One idea I found during a pintrest search was hooks like these: http://www.ashberrybaby.com/Star-Wall-Hooks.html
We decide to make our own personalized ones in Aiden's room colors, and I'm thrilled with how they came out:
And a pic of one of the new hooks displaying the fabulous diaper bag (thanks Mal!) that I promised to post soon-ish back in November (hey, sometimes two months is my idea of soon these days...apologies!):
My amazingly wonderful hubby put most of the elbow grease into these hooks so much love and thanks to him for making the vision come to life. We are waiting to receive decorations for the wall behind the crib. Once those get up, we'll get the rest of these pieces we have on the walls.
