End of a Chapter

So-Wednesday was my official last day of work at Animal Care Clinic. I know my jobs are just changing but I truly had mixed feelings about leaving the people and career I have been at for 5 1/2 years. My body is tired and can't do 10 hr shifts anymore, but my mind was not convinced I wouldn't be board in a week. I do have tons to do to prepare for the arrival of our little boy, I'm sure boredom will not be an often occurrence and I am trying to enjoy the peace before our world is rocked. I will post about the last baby shower I had in Santa Paula soon....

Showers are so much fun!

My second shower was in beautiful Shell beach at the all too famous "Shell Shack" and was put together by some of my best friends- April, Katie, Lori and Jen. They truly know how to throw a par-tay! The jungle theme was perfect- I know I will probably have a pretty wild man. Here are some pics and a few of my favorite moments.

Presents, food and friends always a mix for a good time. (mmmm cheesecake my fav!)

Hand-made hooter hider...try and say that 3 times fast!

Auntie April with adorable style in clothes and presentation- Go Mustangs!

I was really happy to get the carseat- I've been told this is the only essential item (you can't take your baby home without it)

Chrisan and Nana- my experienced advice givers. PS-Nana won the "How big is the belly" string game...not really a suprise seeing as she knows me better than anyone.

We had to get the pregos to represent! Four out of 20 something people is a good turn out- that means 1/5th of the shower was pregnant! ha ha. We all feel so blessed to be carrying little ones- can't wait until they all get to play together. (also that is our 32 week picture-8 months)

First Baby Shower

My first baby shower so fun, yet strange at the same time...little tiny onesies for MY kid?! Pacifier, diapers, children's books and so much more- sometimes it is hard to imagine he will be here in 2 months! Here are a few highlights of the day....
Airplane carrot cake- so yummy!
Smelly diaper games- always a good time!

My favorite onesie so far- Dad will be so proud!

Who doesn't like bath toys?

Cake, games, presents and good friends- this mama and baby boy are so blessed!
